Do you mean prompting for permission to scan local networks? “Localization” normally refers to translating an app into another language.

I believe they are referring to the icon that appears in the status bar when an application is using location services (including in the background).

I'm curious if anybody has used this for their own systems and if the savings were substantial. Fedora used something seemingly equivalent (deltarpms) by default in dnf until last year[1] and the rationale for removing it seemed to be based at least in part on the idea that the savings were not substantial enough.

The story has a bad spin yes. But it’s just as much of a controversy if they had require people themselves pay the cost if they found out the cars where shipped with defective breaks. It’s a product error not wear and tear or user error, they should eat the costs, but the cybersecurity framing of it is being used to attempt to push the cost to the consumer.

This is precisely the point I intended to make with my comment. Perhaps my phrasing was unclear.

If the ignition and door locks in your vehicle were mistakenly designed in such a way that they are trivially shimmed or could be operated by any key it seems absurd to suggest the customer should pay you to replace these mechanisms with ones that are properly secured. This seems roughly analogous to that situation at least to my understanding.

This sentence is confusing:

> I have size_with_nul because snprintf man pages say

> The functions snprintf() and vsnprintf() write at most size bytes (including the terminating null byte (‘\0’)) to str.

If 'size' includes the null byte, why do we have to add 1?

king_geedorah · 14 days ago

> If the output was truncated due to this limit, then the return value is the number of characters (excluding the terminating null byte) which would have been written to the final string if enough space had been available.

The initial call with size 0 tells you the necessary length of the buffer for the string you want, but does not include the null byte.
