Dumb question: how is this affecting projects like Graphene OS?

Can android just be forked and detached from google?

I am guessing that despite being "open source", the project depends on many binary blobs to interface with the wireless devices ??

That's an awesome break down! Now I see that my "double click the files in the directory" was... well... "cute", compared to this.

Thanks again for the explanation, kind stranger. Salutations!

Thanks a lot! It's much more clear. The arr bit made me chuckle

I see. So it is a central server (in your LAN?) that looks ahead and cache the media, and serves many local clients.

Cool! Is this one program that does it all? Or are there different parts to configure?

Holly macaroni! That's a lot of stuff!

Does that work on the LAN only?
Did you describe a bunch of things working in coordination, or is it just "one software that does it all".
If the first, what is the architecture?

thanks :)

Dumb question: what's a media server? (eli5 please) Is it like a netflix with your own vids? Why not open the directory, double click the file, and lean back?

And then they had a minor breakthrough. The team discovered that a sofa seen in some of the images was only sold regionally, not nationally, and therefore had a more limited customer base.

...

The team looked for more clues. And that is when they realised something as mundane as the exposed brick wall in Lucy's bedroom could give them a lead.

"So, I started just Googling bricks and it wasn't too many searches before] I found the Brick Industry Association," says Squire.

"And the woman on the phone was awesome. She was like, 'how can the brick industry help?'"

She offered to share the photo with brick experts all over the country. The response was almost immediate, he says.

One of the people who got in touch was John Harp, who had been working in brick sales since 1981.

"I noticed that the brick was a very pink-cast brick, and it had a little bit of a charcoal overlay on it. It was a modular eight-inch brick and it was square-edged," he says. "When I saw that, I knew exactly what the brick was," he adds.

It was, he told Squire, a "Flaming Alamo".

...

Finally they had a breakthrough. They found an address that Harp believed was likely to feature a Flaming Alamo brick wall, and was on the sofa customer-base list.

"So we narrowed it down to this] one address… and started the process of confirming who was living there through state records, driver's licence… information on schools," says Squire.

The team realised that in the household with Lucy was her mother's boyfriend - a convicted sex offender.

Within hours, local Homeland Security agents had arrested the offender, who had been raping Lucy for six years. He was subsequently sentenced to more than 70 years in jail.
