#\s+ is:

• #: a literal #

• \s: any whitespace character (space, tab etc)

• +: the previous thing (here the whitespace), one or more times

In words: "a hash followed by at least one whitespace character"

#[^\s]. is:

• #: a literal #

• [^\s] : a negated character class. This matches anything other than the set of characters after the ^. \s has the same meaning as before, any whitespace character

• . : matches any single character

In words: "a hash followed by any character other than a whitespace character, then any character".

https://source.android.com/docs/setup/contribute/licenses says most of the Android userspace is Apache 2 licensed. While they can't close source the Android branch of the kernel, they could close-source new userspace code and it would probably diverge from the last open source release quite quickly.

Realistically, that would probably be sufficent to make Android functionally closed-source, even if the GPL bits were still available.

And they're not going to pay millions to be the default for a browser that no one uses.

This assumes that the reviewer who gave the rating wasn't considering value as part of their scoring. I'd expect the reviewer to be scoring a TV based on his good it is compared to similarly priced competitors, not comparing to every other TV on the market

Here's an Olympic sprinter powering a toaster. He generates 0.021kWh going flat out: https://youtu.be/S4O5voOCqAQ

If you have a nut allergy you probably have never tasted nuts and wouldn't know that was what you were tasting

Plenty of costs don't depend on how much usage there is. If a tree falls and takes out a power line it cosrs the same whether that line was being used at 1% capacity or 100%

Why would it need 5GHz? At most it needs to do two audio streams, which aren't going to need lots of bandwidth

If you're just commuting & riding flat, even-ish trails, you maybe don't need a MTB at all. You'll get much bigger changes in handling/comfort/speed from changing the style of bike than the marginal gains from upgrading individual parts.

What are you hoping to gain from a drivetrain upgrade? It might make more sense to look at changing the type of bike you have, rather than trying to transform a MTB to act like a hybrid/gravel/road bike

The xz compromise having demonstrated that FOSS projects are totally immune to interference from state actors...

That seems too harsh a penalty, it makes using an additional PU likely to mean starting from the back for ~5 races. It'd also hurt smaller teams worse - if your average qualifying position is 16th you'd be starting from the back for about 12 races.

Botnets targeting android devices are a thing, here's an example: https://blog.fox-it.com/2023/09/11/from-ermac-to-hook-investigating-the-technical-differences-between-two-android-malware-variants/

In this example, they're renting access for thousands of dollars. These people have a clear motivation to find ways to exploit devices and unpatched CVEs are an easy way for them to do that.
