I'm not saying it wouldn't be an issue, ideally this kind of stuff should be banned whether there's a workaround or not, because the average user is still going to have to deal with. My point is that, well, if you build a 10 foot wall, someone's going to make a 12 foot ladder to get over it.

The system relies on an encryption key stored on the device, right? That's actually a really stupid idea if you don't want people breaking that encryption. Someone's eventually going to figure out how to access that. Even the Nintendo Switch, previously notorious for being a completely airtight system, has been jailbroken.

So, in other words, I've been halucinating the fact that these services work perfectly fine on my Omnirom-patched OnePlus 7 Pro?

Except you're not forced to use the Play store if you're using a non-Google fork of Android. So unless they're locking out the entire OS if it doesn't authenticate (which, if they do, that runs afoul of interoperability protections), you can still install APKs directly.

Also, if it's at the silicon level, that's not even in the OS, that's in the device and Google is going to have to bet on device manufacturers (particularly Samsung, due to their market share) playing along. If Samsung in particular decides that Google is going too far (and they could, they have their own reputation to worry about and they're also going to want to have control over the devices they make - control that Google could potentially deny them as they continue to tighten their grip), that's game over. Google could try to push their own hardware but Samsung has too much market dominance in the mobile device hardware sector for Google to challenge like that.

The solution is the same, though. Chances are non-Google Android forks aren't going to implement this, just like how Chromium-based browsers that aren't Chrome (or Edge) ended up implementing solutions for the depreciation of webRequest in Chromium's implementation of MV3. So if Google does do this, just unlock your device's bootloader and flash Omnirom or another Android fork onto it.

So, what they're basically doing is loading straight from long-term storage into each core's memory cache, and just running a crapton of cores? That's actually a pretty good idea provided your long-term storage access speed is fast enough.

Depends on the dragon. I know a lot of metallics from D&D are willing to share or trade. One of the chromatics as well, though said chromatic hoards jokes, novelty items, comedians and prank gear.

In the case of dragons, those are synonymous.

When a dragon decides to hoard knowledge rather than wealth.

Probably depends on the werewolf.

For the record, werewolves are always human to wolf. Wolf to human is a wolfwere.

Not all aliens are furries and not all furries are aliens.

My point is that the inverse is true as well - some aliens can be furries and some furries are aliens. It's just a matter of whether the particular species has animalistic traits or not.

Even if the alien is straight-up an anthropomorphic animal, like a Caitian from Star Trek?

"Aliens aren't furry"

Are you seriously going to say that when Chewbacca is one of the most well known sci-fi aliens and is a literally walking carpet of floof? And in a similar Star Warsy vein, what about all the Bothans that died to get the Death Star plans before Disney decided to retcon that and say that there was a defector on the engineering team instead?

Anyway, what about servals? As in the adorable spotty leggy jumpy cats that have kinda gone viral in the cat memes scene recently?

Chromium as a whole or just Chrome specifically?

The power of fluffyboys compels you!

Off the top of my head, I can think of Lumenier and Lynxmotion. They're kits but the electronics are plug-and-play (well, solder-and-play in the case of Lumenier, but just for the power connections). They vastly outperform DJI's drones due to their lightweight construction, and are vastly more configurable as they're designed to use off-the-shelf hobby parts as opposed to DJI's completely proprietary designs.

BLADE used to make a direct competitor to the DJI Phantom series in the form of the Chroma. Unfortunately they've completely left the multirotor market simply because DJI was able to build more market share via big-box stores vs BLADE only selling through specialty retailers, even though the Chroma was superior to the Phantom in performance and feature set.

This is one of the reasons why I tell people to stay away from DJI. There are much better brands out there, the only "appeal" DJI has is that any random person can walk into a Best Buy and buy one, whereas you have to go to an RC specialist shop for most of the others.

Is this being baked into Chromium itself or just Chrome? If it's Chromium itself I guarantee you a lot of the various third-party Chromium browsers are going to jump ship, or remove that from their builds.
