The only birth control that is 100% effective is not having sex.

So you always know what is the risk and who's responsible for it with Chinese tech, and for American tech you'll never know who's stealing your data and what enshittification will happen on the next day

Because effectively nothing is changing. Android is still open source, OEMs still have access to the internal branches for early development, custom ROMs will still have to wait until the new version is released to source entirely.

There are many other apps, like Signal, that have the same development approach but no one complained about it. It's just a lot of misinformation due to misunderstandings with these headlines.

If you're using Tuya devices and your network is dual band (same SSID for 2.4ghz and 5ghz), it'll work just fine without needing to change frequencies. I have a couple of very old Tuya lamps that I connected just like that

Google can decide all they want, but they can't close source Android due to the GPL.

They're probably referring to "f", not "Silent Hill"

[–] Virkkunen@fedia.io 3 points 3 months ago

Probably the latter, considering how the people here usually are

Simply having a pull tab like most phones or that electrical release like Apple does is enough to satisfy the EU regulation. The batteries need to be easily replaceable without special tools by repair shops (first and third party, certified or not).
