  1. I don't think iOS is at big a risk as it's not open source software whereas Android is, so it's a lot easier to learn the exploits. Especially when they aren't getting security updates anymore. iOS products do get 5 years of OS support plus a further year of security updates. Occasionally a bit longer, the iPhone 4, 4S and 5 (2010, 2011 and 2012) had a security update not too long ago and I believe the 6/6 Plus is losing support in September. Most Android manufactures drop support after 2-3 years completely. They also have the problem where it's the network provider that puts out updates. Not the phone manufacturer/Google. I have an Motorola phone somewhere that I can't update beyond 4.4 (it released with 4.3) despite the fact that the hardware itself is able to use up to 5.1.1 simply because the phone network didn't put out the update for my phone. I could root it and install it myself but that's a lot more effort than it needs to be.
  2. Yeah, the security issues aren't a problem for me at all. It's the patches that may cripple performance that are a problem for me.
  3. Source I hope this isn't going to end up like Intel where vulnerability after vulnerability is found and we end up with CPUs that have crippled performance because of it.
  4. We can probably record a bit earlier for you. We would have to know a couple of weeks in advance though to see if we can all arrange to be there in time.
  5. Recorded on Sundays in Discord at 19:00/7pm EST. It's not available live just yet, but I'm sure that can change soon. Maybe even this week. It's up to Alex and also depends on everyones schedules. We have missed a couple of weeks because most of us couldn't turn up.
  6. Yes, AFAIK Apple were the first to implement it on the iPhone 6S in 2015.
  7. That's not a very nice thing to do. The bread did nothing wrong to you.
  8. No. I've owned 4 cars, only 1 of them wasn't an impulse buy.
  9. That will be easier I suppose. I'll meet you outside his apartment on Saturday.
  10. Not to mention the recent major bugs that have been found with Intel CPUs. It is nice that AMD is finally making good CPUs again, means good competition. Only real winners here are the consumers.
  11. Noted. Which ohm variant of the 770s do you own? I have the 80 Ohm varient, and the Schiit Fulla is more than enough for it. (Albeit, the sound profile doesn't matches the headphones IMO) Mine are 80 as well. Alex did recommend the Schiit Fulla as well IIRC. They're a fairly decent price so I am considering buying one. Only problem is I don't really want to buy one or any audio equipment right now.
  12. Source I was going to put this in hardware news, but the source seems to be a reddit post that no longer exists.
  13. Source This is actually kind of neat. I do wonder how they work out what a firm press it without any hardware changes. I'm guessing the harder you press, the more of your finger/thumb gets picked up by the touch sensor?
  14. I had an MX-50x that broke so that could probably be added. Unrelated: I really think I should buy a DAC and/or amp for my DT770s. I do feel like they're being wasted right now. I'm just using my motherboards onboard audio. There really isn't that much of a sound difference between my DT770s and the 3.5mm Apple headphones that used to come with every iPod/iPhone.
