You guys have done such a good job that I've thought about buying one even though I don't need one at all just to support the project.
You've surely launched a generation of perhaps-someday-responsible hackers into the world.

The real question is, if I buy 80% of a 3d printer to be finished on my own, does it need a Prop 65 sticker?
(The answer is actually "yes, several".)

Having often thought this is how I would attempt to monetize if I built a developer tool, I'm glad to hear that it's working.
It makes good sense because companies actually have an absurd amount of liability to you if they violate your agreement.

Likely both.

Google Wallet also doesn't work on Graphene OS.
I just looked into this and in the US there's basically no technical answer that I'd expect to be reliable.
You've got a few choices:
* magsafe wallet (~$10) without nfc shield with a physical card
* "purewrist" prepaid debit card (would be good for a kid maybe)
* garmin smartwatch that gets linked properly like Google Pay would
If you're in the EU there are a ton more options, specifically "Curve Pay" and possibly "Amex UK".
Very annoying.

I think all reasonable citizens could agree that a simple licensure for fridge ownership is for the best.
Besides, we can use the extra license taxes from people with multiple fridges to raise funds for the schools.
You don't hate the children, do you?

That was just the vibe.
It was mandatory watching by the state education program. It had product placement and a clear message.
I mean, I feel like it would take more education to not see it as propaganda.
I didn't like The Magic Schoolbus either though. Same reason.
Oh, and Scholastic everything.

It really felt like propaganda as a kid.
Made me think reading was probably a scam.

I bought kit that can do this off AliExpress.

Some context for anyone unfamiliar with the linux desktop space:
Hyprland is a "wayland compositor" (roughly analogous to an X Window Manager) that is under active community development: https://hypr.land
Wayland is considered the future of the linux desktop and is what projects like Valve's SteamDeck are using: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope
It's known that Hyprland Premium is going to include a bunch of pre-made dotfiles including a Quickshell bar config, if you want to see the current top-tier rice: https://quickshell.outfoxxed.me/

Are clones available for research purposes?

The world is already human shaped. It's essentially backwards compatibility for existing physical interfaces.

If you want the certificate, it must be issued by the certificate authority.
If you want to make your own certificates, good luck getting them on the trusted list.

Yes, it happens all the time, especially as the devices age.
L1 devices remotely downgrade to become L3 devices. This has different effects depending on content provided from "totally unavailable" to "lower resolution".
It's both DRM and planned-obsolescence in one.

The dev docs: https://github.com/doridori/Android-Security-Reference/blob/...
I'm not sure if it's confirmed, but it's believed Level 1 video output contains a watermarking scheme that ties the key to the media, so if it's leaked they can disable the key that leaked the content.
You can search around and find tons of angry consumers shouting into the void about widevine errors on older consumer devices.
If I'm reacting to information that I shouldn't have at a rate much much greater than the general population, then I'm not psychic, I'm just cheating.
This is also true for aiming, spray control, etc. All current cs2 cheaters are producing a very large and detectable audit trail of very suspicious plays in game, even if they think they're being sneaky. The resolution of the data looks like keeping track of your location and where you're aiming about every 15ms.
Here's some recent research that's related: https://arxiv.org/html/2508.06348v1
I can hide from a kernel module, but I can't hide from my own data trail.
There's only really two paths:
* We do kernel anti-cheat in trusted execution environments, which is bad for all the reasons in the article. When I break through this, you'll get the full "having a cheater" experience in your game.
* We do AI/ML heuristic-based detection to the point where cheaters are forced to behave exactly like non-cheating teammates or risk detection, cheating maybe only 10-20% above their previously established skill patterns. When I break through this, you'll have a normal game and I'll be kind of bored and nobody will be having the "cheaters in my game" experience even though I'm actually cheating.
In either case, I'm still going to try and beat the system for fun. Because video games.
