Well, no, but it's good to have such documentation for legal reasons when said narcissist loses their shit and attempts to scapegoat you

"I wasn't notified in triplicate, in writing, with the relevant sections underlined and requiring my signature for acknowledgment"
Please, PLEASE do not use Elon Musk, Bezos and other such people as the training model
Yeah that's fair. Since Covid I've noticed that a bunch of the more vocal opponents online liked to pick actual scientific articles and quote small sections way out of context in order to support their "view". It's like using scientific articles for anti-science. That pull that shit repeatedly and piss people off, then report anyone who gets a bit to loud in their response. Seems a whole playbook these days
I don't really have a problem believing this. There seem to be an increasing number of apps - often promoted through ads in social media - which are required to do operations that just as easily could be done via a website, but are likely a requirement in other to additional harvesting capabilities of an installed app or malware
Citing sources by name rather than providing full links/ISBN's/etc?
More like sad how such a sad fucker can coast for so long on inherited wealth and reputation by buying up useful stuff and taking credit for what was developed by actual smart people
Well that used to be a thing called a bibliography but it appears that these journals don't require such. Funny when even my old 7gr essays required those
Yeah even current Pixel versions can still load the alternative OS's, which is nice. Espionage... I'm not sure it's really higher on Pixel. Pretty much all of that is already available to Google via the Android OS/services itself so I'm not sure they'd need to add anything for the phones (not that it makes it good, just didn't seem any worse than i.e. my old stock-build Chinese phones), but with the Sammy devices you also get the preinstalled shovelware plus you to agree to Samsung's conditions to use the second.
Depends on the software, what it does, known vulnerabilities (in the software itself but also underlying libraries etc).
Since it is likely intercepting DNS and blocking known ad domains, it could be vulnerable to exploits which rely on malicious encoding in DNS records etc
That's not the only reason for fast I/O though. Yeah it's convenient for a quick transfer/backup of large files but there's also the ability to use peripherals that require higher rates. USB3 has been around since 2008 so it's not really unreasonable to expect a modern phone to support a spec that's over a decade old...
