I'm just glad that this judgement travelled back in time!

It must have, otherwise Samsung phone's wouldn't have the Galaxy Store on them.
And Huawei phones wouldn't have AppGallery on it.

And things like aptoide, f-droid and taptap wouldn't exist.

This is about Epic wanting their store to be available on the google store, and none of these articles understand that at all.

Sounds like you’re stuck in a worst practices mindset.

Worst/Pragmatic.
If I get a timeline for a feature request, then everything can be scheduled, tested, whitelisted, delivered at a reasonable time.
That's the rarer event - normally it's more like "the scale head has died and a technician is on the way to replace it" and whilst I modify the program in question to handle this new input, hundreds of staff are standing around and delivery quotas won't be met.
Is my position arrogant? This is the job.

Sign your damn releases and have the whitelisting done by cert.

I'll see if this is possible at the site in question, thank you.

It IS bespoke internal development, not for deployment outside of the facility.
The computers running the software exist only to run this software and have no business talking to the internet at all.
IT is provided by an external third party vendor who operate on an inflexible "best practices dogma".

In a rapidly churning startup phase, where new releases can and do come out constantly to meet production requirements, this one size fits all mentality is impractical.

If you refuse to whitelist the deployment directory, you will be taking 2am calls to whitelist the emergency releases.

No it can't wait until Monday at 9am, no there will not be a staged roll out and multiple rounds of testing.

I am more than willing to have a chat; you, me and the CEO.

Purnell Real Estate principal Nick Purnell, who bought an apartment in Canberra as an investment property in 2020, said people will stop investing in property if negative gearing is abolished.

Don't threaten me with a good time.
Investors, with their ability to outbid potential owner-occupiers are a significant component in the current rise in housing prices.
Those rising house prices are DIRECTLY related to the raising rent prices.

Negative gearing was implemented to achieve a change in the market, a large thumb on the scale by the government.
Now it's time to step back and reassess the market and figure out what we need to do to achieve our desired outcomes.

Million dollar plus shoe boxes, whole suburbs dominated by short term rentals, people using the 15% equity on their 4 investment property to back a 5th in a giant house of cards gamble are NOT HELPING.

I have a friend group that insist on all events being planned through facebook.
I've missed out on events in the past due to not taking part.
It's no longer a hill I wish to die on.

I agree and use Signal myself.
But people like the extra features of WhatsApp like desktop/web clients with seamless history sync and all the other little things that WhatsApp provides.
The average Joe doesn't even think about security or privacy, they just know that the results of using WhatsApp are superior than using SMS.
iMessage is a non starter everywhere out of the US, it just doesn't have the market penetration.
As an Australian, no one I know (many of whom own iPhones) talk about the blue-green bubble stuff.
They recognise where the fault lies and simply don't use the app.

In certain places like India, WhatsApp is the default means of communication for everyone.
You can use it without phone data if you are on wifi, it supports better quality than sms for sending images, you can video chat with it, it's cross platform, etc etc.

What's more amazing to me is that it's not more popular in western countries.

Nah, that was worth watching.

Sounds like this is something developers bake into their apps, not something the phone enforces.

ie, if I develop an app, I can have the app check a special google "Integrity" API and if I get no response (or a negative response), just have the app close.

Just one example of the lies and misinformation out there:

Smart people I know believe that we have to go Nuclear because it's the only green way to achieve baseload.

When press on what baseload is, they seem to think it's the minimum amount of power needed to keep the grid up.

Which for anyone listening in, is backwards, baseload is actually the minimum amount of load required because it's un-economical to spin old coal burners down. That's why people used to heat their water at night on the cheap, because the power HAD to go somewhere.

And these are smart people, just disinterested in the how and why of electricity generation.
They flick a switch, the lights come on.
Every 3 months they pay a bill and tut-tut about how expensive it is now "because of the green obsession".

Have you told the library to rescan after making the change?

Funnily enough, I've got a few friends who are long time iPhone users, who actually point this stuff out themselves:

"OMG! Have you seen the eye watering price of the new one?"
"Yay, I finally get stuff you've had for years."

Neither party would ever consider anything else, and they both buy the new model every year. 🤷

At this point I admit that my reasons for choosing Android all those years ago no longer exist or matter, but I can't imagine changing ecosystem either.

I think all the existing answers are on the basis of creating a new Linux VM.

And if I understand you correctly, you already have a bare metal Linux install that you want to run whilst Windows is up.

This is the best search result I could find: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=93437

It sounds like Virtualbox will indeed create a pseudo vhdx that points to a real partition, but windows is going to give you permissions drama.

The above link is out of date though, so its best viewed as info rather than guide.

Good luck.

Us oldies being able to parse it, just means that it is now out of date. ;-)

Crinj fr fr.

I don't think that's a use case the developers really envisaged.
I know under movies (and possible shows as well), you can specify versions:
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies

But I think you're expected to select the version at playback time.

When I've had this issue, I've just transcoded to a format that all my targets can read without drama and kept the resulting file.

If your keen to experiment, I'd be curious to hear the outcome.

Liars do that.
Especially if they have a financial incentive.

That's what makes this possible.

Part of this funding is to underwrite a new interconnect with the NSW grid, to increase the SA grids ability to transfer power in and out.

Having those interconnects means when we have a surplus or shortage of sun + wind in one location, we can transfer it from somewhere else.

The plan even relies on the ongoing backup of gas turbines, which will be turned off 99.9% of the time, but still require maintenance etc adding cost to the grid.

But the plan is to have enough solar + wind + storage to go 100% net green over any given year.

Net renewable by 2027!
