There are tools to make your device appear to every app as running in a non-rooted environment. Here[1] is a tutorial on how to bypass Google/Samsung Wallet detections. There are threads for different apps and it will quickly turn into a cat and mouse play when Playstore app itself updates, but as the phone is rooted, someone will continue to find a way to bypass attestations and will post a comment on Reddit or XDA explaining how to do it.

Launching a rocket from Earth surface looks like such a complex challenge not completely solved, and companies consider a 30-seconds journey a great success.

I have sincerely no intention to trivialize this, but would we ever see rockets launched from Moon or low Earth orbit? It seems so inefficient to launch like how we do now.

Here is an hour long video explaining every stage the earth has gone through:

The Whole History of the Earth and Life - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SkeNMoDlHUU

It's really mind boggling how many times earth has seen a mass extinction, followed by life appearing again.

I use Channel Blocker extension[1], it can block channels and individual videos.

Thanks that is very interesting! Here is Scott McCloud's original page for the book: https://www.scottmccloud.com/googlechrome/
That is indeed far less. Hopefully Apple has still put some of that money into rivaling Google search.
The article says that in 2021, Google paid Apple around $18 billion to keep Google’s search engine as default in iPhones.

What if Apple would put all that money back into developing its own search engine?! That would be beating Google with its own money!

On Android, you can use Seal[1] to download YT videos locally. It also supports many other sites.

You need to run a local m3u/epg proxy like xTeVe[1] to emulate a DVR. But you still need a Plex Pass I think.

I think Twitter is blocked in Iran. It has to be, as almost anything else is.
No that hypothetical scenario can't be right. I understand the reasoning behind why not want to delete the comment.
The suspension is temporary. Presumably when the person is released, the twitter will reinstate the account. The other reason for suspension is to not compromise DMs and followers. But I also understand your point of view in not wanting to delete it.
I think the authorities are stupider than what you think.

When they arrest someone in a demonstration, they will confiscate their phone and open the apps on the device. If the account is inactive, they can not see anything.

May I ask you to delete your comment if that is not a problem? You basically gave the regime an evidence we said the activists are trying to hide away.

The arrests are not premeditated. They arrest you first, then ask questions
My understanding is that when someone is arrested in Iran, other activists try to shut down that person's social media accounts in order to prevent Iranian authorities going through his/her profiles and gather more incriminating evidence against them. Isn't that what is happening here?

Hi Taylor!

Clearly you touched on a very sensitive subject. I was also surprised that my link was flagged by this much people, as it was a very informative blog post about the fact that some First Nation tribes might have a different point of view about what Thanksgiving actually means to them.

I did email dang and asked if he can take a look at down votes in this thread. But either way, keep up the good work and don't get disappointed by the sheer amount of injustices!

The article mentions that "Apple initially attempted to acquire Corellium in 2018". Any idea why the deal fell apart?

rrweb accepts sponsorship. They also have a "Who's using rrweb" section in their GitHub repository. You might want to add your company to it.
Fidor (https://www.fidor.de/en/) is based in Germany and is EU-only.
Will the "trusted" webcam manufacturers then attempt to detect any screen curvature?
Thanks, I stand corrected.
This article is an April fools' joke. BBC has not responded to DCMS' recent consultation.
