Based on the amount of modem CVEs posted in the monthly Android security bulletins, I think it's safe to assume that if you are no longer getting updates then there are unpatched vulnerabilities in them.

A 2% cash back card cancels this out, resulting in comparable interchange rates. In some cases, you can effectively make money by spending money.

Although he was known for being a fashion icon, he was also an actor. Most people probably recognize him as playing the antagonist "Walter Donovan" from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. He was the guy that "choose poorly".

I'm often stuck at my desk for long hours, which made it difficult to maintain a healthy weight. I started using Manjaro a few months ago, and it's had a significant impact. It helped control my appetite and reduced the constant cravings I'd usually get, making it easier to make healthier choices. I've lost around 15-20 lbs so far, and I feel much more in control of my eating habits. I know it's a bit anecdotal but it's been an important part of my weight loss journey

They want email addresses used. How does that work for people who use Mozilla Relay or Apple's HideMyEmail?

You can easily accumulate hundreds of unique email addresses this way.

Do they really expect you to input 500+ email addresses?

It's easier than that. You don't need two NICs to get a carrier, just use a fiber coupler. They are super cheap (< $30)

Just to be clear -- It's an aspirational research project, much like (Galen's) Azure Sphere from 8 or so years ago. This is NOT Microsoft's official stance.

Galen is a super smart guy, but he's not a decision maker. I have yet to hear that this is actually the official direction Microsoft as a whole is taking, across any of their business segments.

Most people I know who take on side projects do them because they enjoy solving problems. They find them enjoyable, and to many, side projects are like taking a vacation. I wouldn't pay someone to take a vacation for me, that's nonsensical and defeats the purpose of the vacation.

Why would you pay someone to do something you enjoy doing, so you don't have to do (any/some/all) of it? What kind of side projects are we talking about here?

Open source maintainers just ignore this kind of stuff until they actually have something to contribute.

The biggest issue are AI generated PR slop that takes time to process. Not this kind of "I'd like to make a PR in the future" kind of thing.

It really is a tragedy. I can't find it anywhere and I really wanted to reference it for future meetings.

@spagoop can you reupload it?
