Oh, man, finding registry info was like the Search for the Holy Grail (Monty Python style).
At one time I worked for MS, and was fortunate to stumble on some good tools for it (like an OLE browser, which is originally what the registry was designed for-it was actually called the OLE Registration Database on Win 3.1), and I acquired every resource kit I could find, and pored over them.
Lol, Play is an exploit.
After 30 years in IT, I’ve seen 100x more systems taken down by updates than by exploits.
Actually, I’ve never had a system taken down by an exploit, 100% of outages have been caused by borked updates or changes.
I’ve had friends who’s clients have been taken hostage by exploits, and 100% of those have been because of poor security practices and phishing - neither of which is preventable by updates.
Here’s a question, if almost no-one sideloads or uses FDroid, where do people get the millions of malicious apps from? Play Store.
So where’s the problem again? Oh, yea, Play Store.
Why does Play need Play Protect if practically all apps come from Play Store?
Nah, then stuff breaks.
About damn time.
You’re not wrong!
I’m a fan of the martini - when I’m in the mood to drink. But make it gin, a good one like Boodles or some of the new stuff with citrus notes.
Another good shower thought today!
Finally, a real shower thought!
This isn’t a theses defense, so stop with the sophistry.
Android isn’t Linux, Android is a Java implementation using a Linux kernel (IIRC) - the Linux part isn’t even “complete” - when you root you find there are tools you need to add to get typical Linux capability (busybox, init-d, etc). .
So you’re not going to install an Android APK on Linux or anything else, unless it emulates Android.
The language used doesn’t mean much - lots of stuff for Windows was written using C languages, and those would never run on Linux or Unix.
Knowing how to sift through the results, and read the good answers for key elements, is a skill. One that you improve with experience.
