Link to the source blog entry. It has more information on how the malware went undetected and how it worked.

It's more like upfront paying a rented Lambo and the car dealer can order it back anytime without notice and reason. You know it's rented although you paid a huge sum (often as high as a new Lambo) but it might have been the only way to get that specific model. You just hope they are a nice company and let you drive as long as possible. Also, you can't resell it either ofc.

In German we say Raubkopie which translates to "robbery copy". It sounds metal but linguistically puts it right next to actual robbery which is kinda insane.

I hope customer protection will eventually force new terms on the "you buy the rights to view a movie which can be revoked anytime without reason". Like, given that most digital offers are priced nearly as high as their physical counterparts, there should be a law that the right must be given for at least 50 years or so.

Self hosting your own CI/CD is the key for OP. Littering is solved too because litter is only a problem on long running servers, which is an anti-pattern in a CI/CD environment.

The comments section of a post like this feels like early reddit. Love it!

I adored my Pixel 3a. The size was perfect in my opinion. Small enough to handle with one hand and to put it in my pockets, big enough to enjoy watching videos on it. The Samsung S10e was lovely too.

I don't have sources but I remember them stating that small form factor phones were not selling too well. So I guess we won't see many flagship or even midrange phones in the near future.
