It depends by the size (smaller is less taxed), but the law is old and it’s exempt only if under 1gb

70s? My government the private for-profit corporation tasked by my government to manage copyrights, every year still steals from everyone millions of euro “because that phone can be used to watch pirated content”

We pay 7 euro on each smartphone, 7.50 on each USB drive, up to 18 euro on each internal drive (sata or name, but under 160gb is free) and products are castrated with regional firmware because if it’s just a TV then it’s 4 euro tax, but if it allows recording it’s the 5% of MSRP

So it will censor stuff as requested by governments

I think it is extremely hard because they are served from the same servers (technically, ads are YouTube videos)

And if the logic on the client isn’t removed, it will hang waiting for the ad

Android, option 3 (Better): newpipe from fdroid. 0% algorithmic feed, exclusively show who you’re following, in chronological order

I remind everyone that Google invested not once, but twice in this company, for a total of $350 million

I don’t think so. You don’t buy the us presidency for hundreds of millions just to give up after a few months. He’ll just pretend to work at Tesla while actually continuing be the president

Problem is that it had bidens sign on it, so he was forced to kill it without even taking care of its contents

Well, technically, any kind of tariff added to the import is always paid by Apple, who else would pay it? Some unrelated company? A foreign country?

They will simply increase the price by an amount that will keep them making the same amount of money. The main problem is that because they like to do a round price worldwide, we European we’ll pay more too, so they can make more money. Assholes

With all the best doctors the presidents have, they discover it only at the fourth stage?

I’m a lowly peasant and my work let me do a yearly blood+pee test, I assumed that for presidents it would be something like a weekly checkup

For fdroid the app is compiled on fdroid servers when dev tags a new release on GitHub. So the app matches the source, it’s not possible to put a tainted APK to download

Now, if the malicious code is slowly added to the source over the course of an year like it happened with the xz utils, this won’t change the result, but it’s easier to do so with a compiled binary. Release clean source and infected binary, it will take a longer time to get caught

For the closed source app stores, on iOS there’s the manual inspection (which is not infallible especially if they timebomb or geofence the bad feature) and for Google there’s the automated inspection (which fails often seeing the news) that should find problems

No it’s a thin layer of steel hot glued to a plastic shell

When I saw the process to add Google drive support to an app I thought: “wouldn’t be easier to just discontinue the public APIs?”

If I was a dev I would immediately remove the integration instead of paying the required thousands (yearly!) to keep it. Then in the app explain the situation to the customer, add a referral link to Dropbox, onedrive or other competitors

You get apps a couple days earlier

But it comes with a huge downside: if dev goes rogue or gets hacked, you could install a malicious version of the app that doesn’t match the source

But then they counted how many zeroes there were on the check, and suddenly they were totally fine in assisting genocide

I see it as a donation rather than a real “pro” version as a single terminal command can transform “lite” to “pro”

It’s almost more shocking that the library allowed to check out all those books. There can’t be a legitimate reason to do so, even if he said he needed to reference them all for a thesis or something like that

Inb4 Trump invents tariffs on foreign coded software

It automatically encrypts the drive only if admin has a Microsoft account (to backup the key on their cloud servers for easier LEO access data recovery) and the PC is a prebuilt

If one of the condition is not met, the automatic ransomware isn’t enabled

The decryption key is saved in the Microsoft account, the error message explains that

I also almost got a panic attack when my Lenovo updated the bios and i was locked out
