They aren’t just a black box, tinkering with them actually has negative consequences. On Android getting root access results in Safetynet attestation failing and on iOS you can’t even get root at all unless you are happy to run some bins from questionable sources. Things are very different for youths. As someone else stated to tinker in the way you mentioned means getting an Arduino or some kind of tinker-friendly SBC.

Ah, a low radar signature house.

I think it’s true that owners of Apple products are more affluent so if I were to put on my evil capitalist hat and could collect this point of data, I would certainly at least test differential pricing just to see if it works.

The WTF case isn’t allowed because it would allow modification of the const. From https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/implicit_conversion

int main() { const char c = ‘c’; char* pc; char** ppc = &pc; const char** pcc = ppc; // Error: not the same as cv-unqualified char**, no implicit conversion. *pcc = &c; *pc = ‘C’; // If the erroneous assignment above is allowed, the const object “c” may be modified. }

It’s almost like every game studio has their own strengths and weaknesses? Crazy.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but the stories don’t hold up under scrutiny, and that’s apparent even from the first book. Then again, that’s not how one enjoys children’s books.
