So you purchase ordinary suspension but get active suspension that works exactly like ordinary suspension and cost like active suspension to service....

It's time we get legislation that gives the consumer access to all encryption key pairs used in the product they purchased.

(For you who don't know what encryption key pairs are used for: they are used for the software to know that a change order, like "activate suspension", is legit and therefore will be executed.)

In its email, Google states that it is closing down the program because of the "overall increase in the Android OS security posture and feature hardening efforts." This has led to researchers submitting fewer vulnerabilities than before.

1. Vulnerabilities are found, which shows that the program is successful and needed.
2. No vulnerabilities are found, no money will have to leave Google.

Keeping the program will reap the benefits from both no. 1 and no.2 while closing down the program only enables no.2.

Not hard to see the priorities here....

Off topic but need to know .. Anyone have experience with Android on RPi5? I have 2 RPi4 at home and my Philips tv with Androidtv from 2018 has gone inte sluggish mode after the last couple of updates so I would like to move to an external box to get access to streaming apps and Jellyfin.

I just haven't been able to find a good Android/androidtv for RPi4 that is smooth.

Would RPi5 be better?

Ukraine doesn't have to threaten Russia as a whole.

Ukraine can already reach quite deep into Russia. As Ukraine advances deeper into Russia, the deeper can they strike.

It's not just cannon fodder that Putin has to redistribute. For example, hw much air defence do you think Ukraine will find the further they advance from the frontline in the contested areas?

Russia has to move air defence closer to important infrastructure in places they didn't have to protect before. That air defence has to be taken from somewhere. My bets are not on Russia having a shitload of air defence units elsewhere that they can afford moving away from wherever they currently are.

Every unit of Russian air defence moved from Ukraine back home to Russia is making Ukraine closer to attack the Russian supply lines of the front lines. That's just one of all the things Putin is facing right now because of Ukraine advancing into Russia.

You're right, Ukraine doesn't have the luxury of time and men but they are surely hurting Russia badly with what they have. Even if the risk of Ukraine losing more than just the contested areas is big, they do not sell themselves cheaply.

Russia will pay for years and years for the "3-4 days to Kiev".

Putin will always be in the history books as the only one that has united so many European countries...

While the Ukrainian attack has revealed weaknesses in Russian defences and changed the public narrative of the conflict, Russian officials said Ukraine's "terrorist invasion" would not change the course of the war.

The tone in official Russian statements the last 2-3 weeks tells us something completely different.

Shit ain't fun no more when it shows that Ukraine were able to choose allies that are better than China, India and Iran, right?

Things might still end badly for Ukraine but they will not end up selling themselves cheap. Even if Russia were able to gain full control over Ukraine, the cost of keeping the control is way too high compared to what Russia can afford.

Oh the irony....

"I would be grateful for the explanation how intentionally targeting civilians serves the goal of disrupting attacks on Ukrainian territory, given the fact that there were no military objects or infrastructure in the area," he [Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia's Deputy U.N. Ambassador] said.

Holy crap! Tell me that you've been sleeping under a rock for the last 3 years without saying that you've been sleeping under a rock for the last 3 years...

As a Swede I approve.

The Russian version of Lemmy

...or auto correct 😁

Can we agree on him not being capable of doing anything gracefully? 😁

This is no problem for Russia since their economy is booming! As the tankies on Lenny repeatedly has reminded me, sanctions has no effect att all!

The latest national numbers I saw was Harris 48 / Trump 47. That's not "Trump looking like he's going to lose badly".
