Agreed.

I somewhat share this sentiment but I was also just answering the question. There are actual reasons one would want to host documentation/etc on a already realized provider vs infrastructure they’d have to configure and potentially pay for themselves.

Takes time and resources to setup a web page. Takes 5 seconds to spin up a discord server or a telegram group and they handle all access control. Not my preference, but for ease of deployment a lot of people prefer to launch there.

If it’s not receiving security patches then it’s not a good candidate to use for 2factor. Risks are low but anything without security patches becomes a minor speed bump to bypass as published exploits will likely exist that are trivial to implement.

Ah, wasn’t sure if they shipped with their own version of webkit for compatibility or invoked the system call. Unfortunate that it’s the latter.

You may try a downloaded browser, they likely ship with a newer version of webkit than what’s on the system or in the store but I’m not 💯 and Google didn’t reveal any clarity on the matter.

Lots of insults. Clearly you’re a person of the people, you must work wonders when changing minds. 🤯

Lol you’re not getting those admin permissions by flipping a simple switch. Root access is far more involved than simple admin permissions so please try again.

Root is extremely useful for customizing the OS and running certain types of apps. It won’t really do much for your average user and does degrade security depending on how root access was gained/obtained. It’s going to be a balance. Also keep in mind a handful of apps (like banking apps) will do a root check before loading the application and refuse to let you access it if it determines your device is rooted.

Tdlr: Rooting is great if you need it for something, just be sure to understand the downsides and don’t bother if you don’t have a specific use case for root access.

No, it’s like saying swapping out the fuel delivery system and ecu fuel mapping with a custom tunable system and Map is one of the most dangerous things you can do to your car; which it is if not done by a professional or someone with significant experience/understanding.

Let’s see how that goes for them with restructuring and reducing the team significantly. It might be branded a zenfone, but it isn’t going to be the same as the last 2.

You weren’t getting another Zen Phone anyway. They gutted the entire team because it didn’t make money.
