TPM isn’t all that reliable. You will have people upgrading their pc, or windows update updating their bios, or any number of other reasons reset their tpm keys, and currently nothing will happen. In effect people would see Signal completely break and loose all their data, often seemingly for no reason.

Talking to windows or through it to the TPM also seems sketchy.

In the current state of Windows, the sensible choice is to leave hardware-based encryption to the OS in the form of disk encryption, unfortunate as it is. The great number of people who loose data or have to recover their backup disk encryption key from their Microsoft account tells how easily that system is disturbed (And that Microsoft has the decryption keys for your encrypted date).

The default on android is to give every wifi network its own random but static mac.

The problem is “indistinguishable” levers.
In the strict sense, if there was a lever you could see first, they would not be indistinguishable. They should not be distinguishable by any property including location

Consensus is probably not.

• We don’t have transition forms
• We probably have young Torosaurs (which are not Triceratops)
• Holes in the skull would have to form atypically late for ceratopsidae
• some other stuff I forgot

My favorite dinosaur is Plesiosaurus.

What are you gonna do about it? >:)

PHP has ben JITed for a while now too.
I don’t recall it being known as slow compared to python even before that.

I guess adb backup was before my time. I did use adb to transfer my apps when I last restored a twrp backup. In perhaps a similar manner to what that did, going by the name. But I did use adb root for that.

Otherwise, I use it to set a lot of otherwise inaccessible settings, like making the back gesture a lot thinner than intended because my touchscreen can handle it, or forcing 120Hz everywhere. I can also set my dpi there without anoying apps.

And ofc I use it to uninstall system apps I don’t need.

After initial setup I do all of that in a root bash session in termux admittedly, but if I hadn’t rooted my device I would still want to do most of that using an adb shell, as most of it doesn’t require root (besides maybe the restoring backups part).

I also use shell environment to semi-automatically transfer media files for certain processes, though I’ll probably move that over to syncrhing at some point.

The main remaining advantage is the ability to automate things on my phone from my pc, I don’t see a lot of those as replacable unless my rom installs kde connect as a system app and they add an immense amount of functionality

thx and wtf.
How can people even use android without adb shell?

I cannot open that, it shows a login page. Could you post a screenshot of what this is supposed to contain?

And a grandmaster at that! Has such unpresidented talent ever been seen on this world?

Shoutout to boost at this point for still not supporting spoilers btw. /s

Shame they lost the display, that was the main benefit of the Xperia line for me.
Regular ~400 dpi screens look terrible and pixelated after being used to 650 dpi.

Guess I’ll have to hope another high dpi phone with headphone jack releases before mine dies.

Nice

Could you correct it for us mere mortals without in-depth aurora knowledge?

Electricians will deny this is true but then just make up a new word for it (inductance)

This really seemed like a good simplification until you threw in that d’Alembert operator at the end
