It literally doesn't sacrifice anything.

Well to be fair this reverse engineering is a hack. It's not really a surprise Apple would block it.

Re: Report: Where’s Android 14? Delayed to October

I'm not sure how this can be taken as a definite but it does make sense....make the splash with the 8/8Pro....I just hope we see a potential security update for 13 this month instead.

It's most decidedly Verizon. They are ALWAYS the ones who hold up updates. They did improve....day isn't over...it could still release for them. However the last couple months they completely muffed it.

Re: Verizon Pixel 6 Update for March Still Missing

It's the same version number. It's not carrier specific.

Nothing Verizon Specific as I suspected. It's the same as many of the others. So if you sideloaded...no worries.

I see them and I have had it since the beginning.

Re: Ubuntu Flavors Will Stop Using Flatpak

gorkon — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 09:37:02 -0000

The biggest problem with Flatpaks is when it comes to update time. They also use more drive space than installed packages. PLUS when you use the graphical tools many times you see....2 of the app. One is the flatpak. The other is the traditional deb files. It's hard to tell which is which because the last time I used the tool...there was no differentiation on which was which.

They ARE good ideas....but I also think that the common apps like Chrome, LibreOffice....ones that are always there...they aren''t really needed.

Where they work well is if your app is extremely picky on what libraries it uses. Then they make sense.

Re: Matheau Moore Acquitted of Murdering Emily Noble

gorkon — Fri, 26 Aug 2022 13:15:13 -0000

My thoughts on this are irrelevant. I did not see all of the evidence and NONE of us were there. With that said...I have to accept their results. He was tried fairly. You want to be mad at someone do it to the prosecutor. Not Mr. Moore. EVEN THEN...there may not have been the evidence to be able to convict him.

Re: 19 things NOT to do in a Facebook group

gorkon — Tue, 23 Aug 2022 18:29:00 -0000

In a local group for our city here and there's at least one post a week where they say hey whats with all the cop cars going down boogie street...and I'm like...why would you ask a Facebook group that? I'm usually like I don't care and half the people are like me and think it's ridiculous.

There's also the reports that the local Arby's doesn't have the meats....lol

Re: Google Pixel’s August Update Arrives in “Coming Weeks”

gorkon — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 14:32:22 -0000

People are assuming that coming weeks means August at all.

I count this pseudo July update that came out in August as the August update.

Y'all freaking out when code's late is funny.

These ..aren't scratches. I have several other branded things that both look similar to this and always have. This is the edge of the metal around the cutouts....and are NORMAL.

Re: Apple now removing outdated apps from the App Store, developers complain

gorkon — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 09:31:07 -0000

No it's because Apple makes changes that break older apps. They don't care about backwards compatibility because it doesn't make them money.

Saw this one at REI this past weekend and it felt light but I assume that it was a display unit.

I want to get this or a Jackery at some point for my camping trips.

Which is why I think that at this point it would be nice if they would just put Thunderbolt on the device so you can add an eGPU for those times when you need it.

Probably not. I think you need to add about 100-200 dollars.

I just saw this now. Sorry my life has been a bit chaotic!

Yes it's out of print. A used bookstore or eBay is the best bet for me to get a better copy.
