$30/mo for Synthetic (open weight models with ZDR and high throughput) + whatever coding plan the flavour of the month is (last month was $20 on NeuralWatt, this month $4.99 on ClinePass for DSFlashV4 mostly)

A quick occasional glance through https://serializer.io/ has been serving me well for a few years now!

I wonder what the equivalent data are for iPhone to Android switchers. It could also be similarly high, suggesting consumers are switching in higher numbers both ways?

On my third XPS 13 now, each of which came with Windows, but I've been running Linux flawlessly on each since day one.

So not sure what the techs would be referring to.

This isn't strictly true. I know in South London that Tesco orders are not "picked from local stores by hand" - they're packed in and dispatched from the same enormous warehouses and depots that supply the stores, and there's some degree of automation involved (although not to the same level of Ocado.)

How does that work if the APK is huge (or bigger than a couple of megs at least)? That doesn't seem very "instant" to me...

Is the APK re-arranged perhaps so it can, in effect, "progressively" download the app as required?

My assumption is that layouts/graphics are downloaded to the device, but application logic is run remotely.

Can't find any confirmation though.

Allegedly it's 256-bit AES and would take thousands of years to brute force. (Allegedly, because of course there's no way for me to easily verify!)

You're correct, it's not going to stop someone who knows exactly what they're doing and has the time/patience/tools to brute force. But it is enough to stop casual thieves from stealing more than just hardware, which is (fortunately) my main concern.
