As I clearly stated, what is user-controlled is the sideband channel to debug the system on consumer hardware. The sideband channel under the current implementation of Cr50 is entirely user-controlled. This is a fact, as the end-user of the machine has control over the sideband channel.
I did not state any judgement about the GSC itself and its firmware.
And please don't start spreading FUD around hypotheticals of updates changing that. Yes it is possible. But a lot else and worse is possible under that scenario, so it serves no purpose but to spread FUD. And is still irrelevant to the content of the previous comment.
I am asking you, please do not ever derail what I say with FUD or out-of-context quotes ever again.
Thank you.
With CCD, you are pretty much free to mess around with the "BIOS" of the machine, without fear of being put in a bad situation.
It also provides a serial terminal to the "AP" (application processor), e.g. available to the OS.
In other words, the Cr50 provides a controlled and user-controlled (but not user-owned) sideband channel to debug the system, even on consumer hardware.
Why user-controlled? Because it requires asserting presence to "Open", which with the design of ChromeOS basically requires being the owner of the device. Why not user-owned? For official ChromeOS devices, AFAIK that firmware cannot be replaced by a user with their own builds.

The recommended guideline[0] is to round to the nearest 5¢.
This article from 2013 is my closest citation to "undefined behaviour"[1]
> These guidelines are only a suggestion though and there is currently no law that specifies how retailers must round.
I don't know since ~2013 if anything has been decided to make those guidelines "law". I couldn't find anything quickly in the SEO cesspool that is modern web search.

There were Radio Shacks in Canada, before they ended up being renamed The Source in 2004[0]. So in 2009, the year cited in the article, they would have gone to "The Source", but likely still thought of it as Radio Shack, the old name of the chain.

This is different from a non-Android Linux on Mobile devices, which is what Mobile NixOS aims to achieve :).
Under these considerations, I can say that for a "well known" date, like a birthday, or an expiration date, where the context of the calendar doesn't matter, it's not needed, and probably undesirable. (Under these contexts I would use bare selects/inputs with one for each of YYYY/MM/DD.)
For an appointment, or a time span? Date pickers are useful. “Which days are mondays?” “I want to book from a monday to the friday the next week.” Raw controls won't provide the context to help the user.
I feel the ones you fight against are more than likely those where you already are aware of a precise moment, in the first scenario. The others are more likely to leave no impression if well done.
With that said: Always de-compose the date picker in their discrete parts that a user can use. Make the picker fill these.
Users also are working on providing a mostly liberated firmware for the modem:
And still, losing google docs document sharing, and calendar, on the e-mail address identifier which will stay my valid and primary one is a hostile move, plain and simple.

Are there any ways to migrate those licenses to a "google account"? Or am I being forced to pay to keep using licenses I already paid for?
Oh, and what about my YouTube channel?
My main use case for GitHub search is identifying provenance of misc. changes in vendor source code tarballs for e.g. Android kernel releases. It's hard, but sometimes possible to rehydrate most of the existing commits through cherry-picks and careful rebases.
The biggest problem with the lack of indexing branches and forks is that sometimes vendors makes releases through branches, or that sometimes repos of interests are forks of e.g. `torvalds/linux`.
Hopefully we can see those being indexed in the future.
I'm also curious: has the plan to drop "less active" repos from the index gone through? Has anything changed?
