I've been stacking newshosting BF offers for a few years and the prices have been relatively stable.

I don't use the included VPN for anything other than the occasional troubleshooting so it's not really a value add for me.

Anyone who needs a VPN probably already has a subscription with one of the reputable providers.

    Also VQ and Avatar. Didn't have high expectations of either but cautiously optimistic for Avatar. Slow horses never fails to meet the high standards they set with their first season.

    I'm also enjoying Cupertino but I like everything the Kings put out.

    Is it a recent trend in journalism to not offer any context or has this been going on for a while?

    What is the point of telling us about the record if you don't at least mention the previous record holder?

    In this case, it's probably Mel Lastman in 2000 with 483277 votes.

    Original title: Here's why OnePlus bricked your phone when you tried downgrading it

    OnePlus statement:

    To further strengthen device security, we’ve temporarily paused the ability to downgrade from 16.0.2.50x software builds to older builds. We will be restoring the ability to downgrade software builds in our next routine software update, but in the meantime customers looking to downgrade their build can contact OnePlus after sales channels directly.

    Article also speculates about the reason for the temporary measure:

    "prevented firmware downgrades due to a vulnerability that could allow a stolen device to be wiped clean and sold as a fully functional phone"

    Whatever the reason, I'm glad they reversed course.
