It’s not the lock, it’s the fact that phones are usually encrypted after a reboot (to oversimplify). As the article says you have extra security measures to protect a freshly booted phone.

If this is indeed a security feature I’m about to buy my first iPhone.

You’re absolutely right. I was referring to equations which, in my experience, is 90% of undergrad math.

If the laptop supports dual drives (not unheard of but not the norm) it’s way safer to dual boot from different physical drives.

Whatever OS you choose make sure they have a guide for dual-booting. Any Linux OS should be capable of dual-boot but not all will support that configuration equally.

As a failsafe I would also make a rescue USB, especially SystemRescue because of the findroot option.

If all cables were created equal then it’s kind of a big deal that laptops can now charge via USB-C. Proprietary chargers can suck my ass.

Agreed. Math, for the most part, is very rule oriented and problems only have one answer and often one strategy to get to the answer. If you work on many different problems (in the same subject) you should start to get used to the rules.

Overall I would say a strong math foundation is important to CS but CS isn’t just about coding. You can absolutely get a coding job without strong math skills or even without a degree, it’s just a bit harder to get started. If the discipline still exists you might consider a Business Information Systems degree (we used to call it CS lite). Depending on the position a company might equally consider BIS and CS majors.

Expanding rural broadband access is a necessity if we want to scrape back the country from the fascists.

So it ain’t happening.

Probably not the most pressing issue but Civil Asset Forfeiture is one of the most egregious rights violations that is not only legal when used but extremely lopsided in its fairness against those who have effectively been robbed by the police.

I think his main “selling point” that’s a bit unique to the US is his hard stance on the southern border. Too many white people are afraid of us becoming another Latino/Hispanic country.

Didn’t notice The Streets in your top 100. It’s kind of in line with Gorillaz. My fave album of theirs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Grand_Don’t_Come_for_Free

It looks nice but I’m sure they lean towards cool colors because they’re better at keeping you awake.

Or get off of X.

This may be the worst side effect. Trading efficiency AND accuracy for flexibility.

If Mars became one “arm” of the human race Earth would still be the heart. Your heart fails and all your limbs are fucked.

I rarely run out of candy so fuck it.

For real. I was so hopeful for the Type-1 and would’ve reserved one if I had the money.

Oh, you don’t have to ask.

I do this for free even!

Plug for “America’s Sweethearts” also starring Billy Crystal as well.

Haven’t bought an EA title in years and no regrets. It’s like donating to the GOP at this point.

Edit: I mean if DJT started a gaming company that’s EA.

I just installed the latest version of Debian on a 12 year old netbook. Just sayin.
