Mediatek has been making phone SoCs since forever now, they have two lines - Helios and Dimensity. They're used in many phones, usually on the lower end. Even Samsung uses them. Both lines have abysmal custom rom support compared to Snapdragon phones, so I don't think you can hope for much there.

I just don't have a wife. Even more secure.

and were to be distributed near German boiler rooms where it was expected they would be disposed of by burning, with the subsequent explosion having a chance of causing a boiler explosion

Wouldn't it have been easier and more effective to just make them coal shaped?

Sir, permission to leave the station?
For what purpose Master Chief?
To give the Covenant back their bomb...

Haven't seen this one mentioned yet.

Podman not because of security but because of quadlets (systemd integration). Makes setting up and managing container services a breeze.

The receptacle is the issue - it can have up to 24 pins (though usually it's 12ish), all bunched up in just a slightly larger space than on a micro usb receptacle which has 4 pins. So it takes some good skill to replace.

Just recently I had a tech store guy gently but repeatedly insist to me that a certain USB cable was a USB 3 cable because it was type C on both ends. I didn't wanna argue with him, but the box clearly said "480 Mbit", so it was just a type C charging cable.

Of course the box designers were hoping you'd make that mistake so they didn't write USB 2 on there, just the speed. And most boxes won't even have that, you'll just have to buy it and see.

But I mean if someone who spent their whole life fixing computers can get something that basic wrong, then it's really a hopeless situation for anyone who isn't techy.

And of course once it's out of the box it's anyone's guess what it is. It's a real mess for sure.
