The most active posts are now bot-created open-ended conversation starters on r/askreddit to stir up activity and give the illusion of a thriving community. The questions are usually very redditer patronizing, and some of them are thinly veiled marketing analysis to create value for future shareholders. they're often saturated with butt created responses.

As to why the post in question may not still exist? I suspect substantial posts about bot saturation are probably filtered out.

I suppose that clarifying it as 'uncertified open source Android' would be more appropriate.

Thank you. I was not aware of that. I don't really know how to check to see if a link has been posted before. I would like to avoid reposting. 'sure would be nice if a veteran citizen of Leamington could explain it. I have re- re-titled the title in light of your comment.

I respectfully disagree. Ars Technica is not known for being a clickbait site. They are merely stating what platform(s) the malware runs on. It's not an Android hit piece, and it's not clickbait, it's just a warning about buying cheap Chinese electronics that have access to your Wi-Fi.

"In total the researchers confirmed eight devices with backdoors installed—seven TV boxes, the T95, T95Z, T95MAX, X88, Q9, X12PLUS, and MXQ Pro 5G, and a tablet J5-W. (Some of these have also been identified by other security researchers looking into the issue in recent months)."

edit this is the v4 of the title of this post. I'm not accustomed to editorializing or de-editorializing posts. I believe that the brand names involved were fairly trivial to the discussion of escalating malware cyberoperations especially if they are state sponsored. Earlier versions of the title were mischiefously incendiary. I apologize for that.

Or, another way of looking at it is, they're embrace of deceit and delusion means they periodically have to fabricate new imaginary dragons to slay. The problem with turning victimhood and grievance into a cult is that you need persecution for it to work. Hence, fabricating opposition. Wokeness is just a way for the elder elite to heap hate on the youth that will inevitably replace them. Constantly reminding everyone that you are a patriotic Christian is just a means to try to seize the higher ground for cultural warfare.

Twitter and Reddit were both platforms for left leaning politics. I don't think it's a coincidence that they're both being basically dismantled before the next election.

Welcome to the internet

... where all monumental advances in technology are immediately sexualized and used for getting laid or viewing porn.

My go-to for that was always a soft guitar pick with the tip cut off. It seems like this was applied buy a goon with a spoon.

I took this article specifically to mean, and that it was referring to, a new form of non-volatile solid state storage. Active memory is by definition, volatile. This article seems to be talking about non volatile RAM, fast enough to function as active RAM. This alone would redefine what a reboot is.

I once speculated to a friend about 15 years ago that eventually solid state storage space would be so fast that it could serve as active memory. I can't wait to tell him.

Navigate to the uBlock Origin settings. · Select the "Filter lists" tab. · Scroll to the "Annoyances" section. Place a check mark next to "AdGuard/uBO – Cookie Notices".

I recently discovered that the Firefox add-on, ublock origin, has in its chooseable block lists, under annoyances, a cookie notice blocker with lots of other annoyance blockers as well.

I really hope this is a complete failure, like Meta itself.
