Media are always looking for ways sensationalist ways to falsely inject human relatable behaviours and feelings into unusual behaviours, be it in video clips of animals or stories about faulty AI behaviour. Misinformation is coupled with profitability for news outlets.

Been able to do this for many years using obs. https://obsproject.com/

But there are plenty of apps that turn your phone into a webcam in the various app stores. I had best usage with droidcam, but there's going to be plenty open source app alternatives too. https://play.google.com/store/...

And pen testing

Software is progressing nicely, but I think the next major step will be along the lines of neuromorphic computing and the use of memristors in neuromorphic devices.

I have just come out of working with Android Automotive for the last 6 years and being the first to deploy it in a real car (whilst also working on lots of other very large OSS platforms previously)
Upstream is the only way, our SOC vendor was having to manage 500+ patches against android and linux which was an awful lot to manage everytime upstream changed.
I see the price of being able to use OSS is to be a good citizen and upstream those patches you have which will also benefit your by reducing your maintenance burden, and as stated in the article keep down fragmentation.

That said, Android will be changing to Fuchsia soon right so Linux will be a dead end for Android soon.

Got Amazon Prime connected to your smart TV? Well now they have your credentials. I'll bet a lot of people would be rather uncomfortable with their shopping and browsing history on Amazon being available to a foreign state. Couple this with possibly similar intrusions on other devices, suddenly there is an uncomfortably complete picture of someones private life for grabs.
When the victims are politicians aides, statesmen, lawmakers etc, this blossoms into significant national security risk.

It's a lot more than viewing habits. They will have access to data / credentials of connected apps, such as Amazon, Netflix etc and login there, which contains a trove of personal data. This can easily be abused to put pressure on public figures or used in identity theft. It's also not inconceivable that this could also be used to backdoor into your network, which of course would be very very bad.

It's safe to say we can immediately write off comments by people who begin with words like 'woke' or 'sheeple', as lacking in evidence or grounding in reality.

Marked as a troll for calling out a clearly racist, yet upvoted comment?
Congratulations Slashdot on becoming the new youtube comments section.

Absolute this ^^

As a developer with very strong, ADHD it's definitely a double edged sword but to me, a lot more of a disadvantage.
The advantages a wandering mind seems to bring, includes being more likely to consider the bigger picture on tasks/projects, see unconsidered risks and tend to find more novel or creative uses for things and unconventional approaches.
I'm consistently more productive at applying my knowledge to the tasks, however when acquiring new knowledge, which is probably the biggest part of my job, I fall very far behind.

Without ADHD medication, I am completely unable to read most documentation. I struggle with long sentences in emails and I miss much of what it said in meetings. The longer someone talks, the less I take in.
Peer reviews are particularly difficult for me, and I sometimes really struggle understanding undocumented or unclear code.
This is mitigated by the medication, it's not a brain pill that makes me smarter or gives me more concentration energy, it merely reduces these symptoms.

This is why in Europe,l (I believe) after sales agreements are non-binding. It's crazy to think that they you can sell something then add legal constraints after the fact.

Yeah it's painful, especially because all white is sooo great for power usage on mobiles. :(
I don't know a single mobile website that's not vastly improved by forcing mobile browser to use desktop version.

That's a relief then. I can switch back to Samsung when I'm done with my Pixel 2. It was a terrible mistake to switch to a phone without the jack. Bluetooth is just crap, gets interference and it simply doesn't sound as good. I've had no end of problems getting speakers and headphones to pair. Not having a common feature is not a sign of good engineering, if you can't achieve what others can, it's a failing, not innovation.

The original opened the whole chassis forwards and had no reverse gear. Presumably all the original drivers starved to death after driving into their garage.
