As someone studying Japanese, oooo that’s awesome I gotta check them out! :D

Others have already pointed out how silly this is, but to give OP something more concrete to help studying this radical, I looked up the kanji itself in my academic classical Chinese dictionary designed for research use, and the way it’s supposed to make sense is that 兼 means “concurrent” in contrast to 秉, as in 兼 is essentially a “duplex” version of 秉, with two vertical bars in the center and with two dots on the top, instead of one, thus have two “concurrent” parts in one kanji.

You can further check out some of the earlier historical versions of how it was written (or cast on bronze vessels) in this screenshot of the dictionary:

The flip side though is that once you get good work kanji, you can also be very expressive with them in ways not really possible with a phonetic script like the Latin alphabet :p

The time to prevent Nvidia from practically gaining a total monopoly on the entire market by stopping buying Nvidia, was 10 years ago, not now.

Now, I’ll consider buying a GPU from you instead if you can make a GPU that satisfies technical needs like Nvidia could, but you cannot.

Are these the only packages Google uses for this purpose?

Skill issue

Yeah I also think it would take a lot more than just one single bit of discrete information in an universe of completely uniform and homogeneous nothingness, to restart the universe lol /s

And not as many people ever even care about doing this is exactly how we got to this point.

If the people on the good side stop trying to find exploits like this, and by finding them develop awareness and knowledge about them, so that countermeasures can be devised, then bad actors are much more likely to find new exploits first, and when they exploit it you won’t even see it coming anymore.

XDA is dead, and you just described one of the symptoms of a forum being dead.

That said there are still a small amount of people posting detailed posts for rooting Xperia phones, for how to flash OS updates with unlocked bootloader without losing your user data, for how to bypass carrier restrictions to get international model to work with the 5G bands in the US via build.conf edit and baseband flashing, etc. There are perks of a community being small and niche, and I guess not everyone is brained washed by Samsung’s propaganda they use to justify permanently locked bootloader on their phones lol

You said it like banking apps will be happy to work with a Linux phone lol, the banks always have their interests inherently conflict with user control anyway. And rooting and getting a custom ROM (one which exists or otherwise) are two completely different things that have nothing to do with each other, and you shouldn’t support manufecturers who choose to make it difficult to unlock bootloader anyway.

By 2025, rooting still empowers you to make your own Android device however you like it to be.

Also not many people care about custom ROM these days because Android stock ROM got much better in average, so there’s much less a need for creating a brand new ROM just to get basic features. Why making a brand new ROM instead of modding the pretty good one you already have now. And root empowered ROM modding tools that are developed as Magisk module or Xposed modules still have a pretty big community, there’s a long list of pretty big repos with hundreds of modules each, and with how sophisticated Magisk and Lsposed have evolved it’s easier than ever to write your own mods

Recent AOSP repo added lines of code to Package Installer to handle enforcing restricting whether Package Installer installs an APK file or not based on dev signatures, as well as denying installation if internet isn’t available so it can’t contact Google’s servers for dev signature verification.

So this is enforced by Package Installer, which is already how Google enforces their ridiculous minimal SDK version requirement for installing APK packages, as well as for blocking app update with an APK package with mismatched signature or blocking downgrading an existing app with an APK package, which I already have bypassed via Xposed this way.

Besides, rooting gives YOU total control over your own device like when you have sudo on Linux, even if Google tries some new BS there will be a way to counter it when you have root

Thankfully it’s not like I’ll still have the choice with my “do not buy from” list on my pocket notebook soon in this economy anyway /s

Thankfully I have root, I’ll just simply hook into it runtime via Xposed to bypass this nonsense.

Seriously anyone who doesn’t have root on their Android devices these days and age, well may Google have mercy on you lol

Exactly!

Ultimately rooting empowers users with control, and many company profit from users not having control, like Netflix, like Google with their ads, etc., so they love to make people think rooting is somehow unsafe lol

Exactly, taking away tools which enable you to enhance your digital privacy, or the ability to use such tools, is fundamentally a flawed way to enhance your privacy in the long term.

Same for security with rooting, and it’s the same reason why the argument that “rooting makes your phone less secure” is a fundamentally flawed argument.

This would not help us much at all, Google clearly doesn’t consider iOS a completing platform because Google’s core business is still advertising not selling phones or phone OS (which Apple does both since all iPhones are iOS devices and all iOS phones are iPhones). And on iPhones Google already have most of their ads delivery platform and services offered, you have iOS apps for YouTube, YouTube Music and all of them, while the closed nature of iOS makes it even more difficult for people to do things like blocking Google’s ads with system-wide adblockers or bypassing YouTube ads with modded YouTube clients, like you can easily so on Android.

Not to mention iPhones such soooo much more than a locked down Android since on Android it’s still much easier to root as long as you have a phone with unlocked bootloader, than to jailbreak literally any iOS device, since iOS jailbreaking actually requires exploits and Android still has mostly a Linux kernel so a lot of the tools work out of the box, while iOS does not at all and has a very different OS architecture.

Same! Although still on my 512GB SD card but I’ll have to upgrade to 1TB soon at this rate lol

Also thank goodness 2TB SD cards came onto market not long ago, I’ll not run out of options anytime soon lol

Yeah a really big and fundamental difference between an Android phone and an ARM laptop is that a phone has to have a low level radio stuff that have to be close sourced and fully locked down for regulatory compliance in most countries, so that they transmit radio stuff within legal bands and within legal transmission power and all that, you simply cannot open source those or even keep them user-accesable and mod-able without your device being illegal to be commercially sold as a mobile phone, because then anyone could mod them to operate as radio equipment outside the legal range. And that requires the firmware of those radio stuff to be provided by the manufecturers of those radio chips and devices (not the OEM of the phone).

In fact the inherent complexity and overhead from this was one of the biggest hurdle for early smartphone manufecturers and smartphone OS developers like Nokia and their Symbian OS to become successful. And figuring out how to deal with this efficiently between all of the radio stuff suppliers and smartphone OEMs, was one of the major reasons iPhone and Google’s Android were able to succeed commercially in the last decade. In Android this is one of the things that necessitated the HAL or hardware abstraction layer, so that the standardized Android system components and especially Android kernel don’t have to directly deal with more than thousands of different models of radio hardware from all kinds of different manufecturers that all require different drivers and such because of how they are close sourced and locked down, whereas on a regular Linux distro running on a normal ARM laptop, the drivers of all those devices can be included into the kernel and redistributed because they are open source.
