I don't believe this is true, though I'm certainly no expert on the subject. Taiwan Semiconductor is the largest manufacturer of the chips, but they use lithography equipment manufactured by the Dutch company ASML.
I absolutely agree. They should be disbarred at the very least. This level of idiocy undermines the integrity of the entire system.
The closest would be the Soyuz 11 disaster. A seal on the re-entry vehicle was damaged when the capsule detached prior to re-entry. Terrible way to go I imagine.
I hate that bug so much... If you forget to log out however, you can hit ctrl-alt-f1 to switch to the x session, which frees up the shutdown.
I don't trust any of the major phone manufacturers to update my device for an extended time. It is intrinsically against their interest to support a platform long term at the expense of a missed sale on a new device.
Not that I like Motorola, but they do offer an unlocked bootloader on most of their phones. LineageOS supports a number of them officially, which makes for a very easy install and extended support model. Not bad for a $300 phone.
Great write-up! This might help some of the bigger instances as well.
Absolutely phenomenal work! I love how fast the community is reacting to the scale changes. So many great things are in store for this platform.
