When you normally delete a file, it doesn’t actually delete it, to save time it just marks the space as free, so any new files can be written into that part of your drive.
But the actual data just remains there until a new file is written to the storage.
SecureErase does the second part without making an actual file.
Normal delete:
File: 01010101 -> no file:01010101
Secure erase:
File: 01010101 -> no file:00000000
Android introduces far more incompatibilities, and the kernel mods are more impactful than the vast majority of other systems. Userspace incompatibilities are basically negligable for most distros.
It’s differences are substantial enough that I think it makes sense to treat it as a separate os.
Eh, it depends how you define Linux. Android uses a modified Linux kernel, but most of what’s above that is different. By the point you’re at the application layer they’re basically completely incompatible.
Is it technically Linux? Yeah but it’s so different from a user’s perspective it’s best to treat them as separate imo.
Yeah, your overall point is 100% correct and well made. Just a few things that don’t really matter to an end user they were complaining about
That was probably Atlas, it disables a bunch of security features as part of debloating, so I wouldn’t recommend it unless it’s an offline device
That just guarantees tech support lol
Yeah, cause people are just hooking stuff up to chatbots and expecting it to do everyrhing instead of actually building tools for the job they need
The gamble is the fun part tho
Yeah, I would switch off, but it just doesn’t seem worth the effort for something I rarely interact with.
Same, I was a fan for a while despite them not being great about accuracy, it was entertaining tech-themed content that I knew not to trust for anything serious. Them recommending a custom windows rom that disabled any anti-virus and blocked security updates was when I completely wrote them off. And their excuse was “we showed some of the issues on screen for like 1/2 a second, that’s enough” and refused to acknowledge anyone’s concerns were valid.
Then later it got way worse when it turned out they had issues with serial harassment and stole and auctioned off prototype hardware.
If only they could deal blows to starmer and everyone else pushing them to abandon their principles.
It could also have been a ghost listing, but yeah, I’m baffled they aren’t profitable
Probably didn’t see them, Epic’s already suing again because of their compliance plan.
Gamescope’s a compositor made by valve that you can install and add as a launch argument to games. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamescope
Yeah, fsr’s basically the same thing as dlss, it’s a bit worse but it’s pretty close. You can also use it on nvdia cards.
For replacing dlss, fsr works well and you can use it on games that don’t support it using gamescope.
I doubt it, at least in the US. Samsung tends to be pretty locked down.
I mean, it’s one thing to fan remake a single player game from a decade ago in a very different way, and a very different thing to remake a live Multi-player game made in basically the same engine.
That’s just the soc wattage though, the screen would also take up a substantial portion of the battery
I mean I’d much prefer they didn’t fly a plane that was repeatedly saying there’s a serious issue with it.
Yeah, but people installing GrapheneOS probably aren’t in the vast majority of users
