I did read the article... Why do you think the parent commenter didn't?

They obviously want their newest/flagship OS to be secure, or people wouldn't want to use it, and they'd be stuck supporting people on 10+ year old OS:es instead.

And seven years of guaranteed Android updates.

It's always possible to re-encode video; it's usually called transcoding. However, you lose a bit of quality every time you encode, so you might not gain much in the end. You can offset a bit of the quality loss by encoding at a higher bitrate/quality factor/etc than you otherwise would, but that of course takes up extra space.

LCD for extra brightness? I don't think you've been keeping up as mobile OLEDs are usually brighter than mobile LCDs. Not that there are many LCDs left.

The Nokia XR21 is one LCD phone released in 2023:
IPS LCD, 120Hz, 450 nits (typ), 550 nits (HBM)
Another phone with brightness listen on gsmarena is the Oukitel WP30 Pro:
IPS LCD, 120Hz, 430 nits

Take a few popular OLED phones for comparison...
Galaxy S24: Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, HDR10+, 2600 nits (peak)
iPhone 15: Super Retina XDR OLED, HDR10, Dolby Vision, 1000 nits (HBM), 2000 nits (peak)

Or for consoles, Steam Deck LCD is about 400 nits, while the OLED is up to about 600, or 1000 in HDR.

I'm all for open source services, but realistically, what potential issues are there with using GitHub?
Every contributor has a copy of the Git repo, so isn't the worst case basically losing access to issues and similar data? And even that is very unlikely.

This again? It's utter bullcrap I'm afraid.

a change that would avoid 17 metric tons of greenhouse gasses

Uh, that's so obviously massively wrong. The headline seems correct though, it's about 17 MILLION metric tons.

Yep, that was beyond ridiculous IMO. Not sure how they felt it made enough sense to turn into a big season-long thing, affecting the entire future timeline of Star Trek.

Though I think Species 10-C (season 4) was an awesome episode that is rather underrated.

What's your source that he is a felon? Can't find anything about that at all.

A telekinetic can move stuff with their thoughts. So they can count on the abacus with their thoughts.

The strange thing is that I've never seen any kind of AdBlock notice/warning on YouTube, ever. I'm also using uBlock Origin.
