author here;
It's needed by `go install` to provide pre-compiled packages, which will then speedup the compilation of your applications down to 10sec.
But you can also use the STUB setting, before running the setup and then use the binding with only 1gb ram as well. (the necessary c++ code will be compiled later with qtdeploy)
edit: can't comment any further currently, I will try to answer everything once I'm unblocked.
Yeah. It doesn't work on my Note 3. Samsung disabled copy & paste in the Emergency Call dialer.
The author clearly didn't do his research, simply assuming that the vulnerability affects all Android devices:
> But there's no telling when it'll reach Android devices made by Samsung, LG and others. Blame the Android's fractured updating system, which is slowed down by phone manufacturers and cellphone network carriers.
"Already patched" isn't really as meaningful on Android as it is on, e.g., iOS where the average user can expect to (and frequently does) update their operating system.
How many phones are still vulnerable to StageFright?
On paper you should be able to do the same with a HTML5 manifest file.
Don't get me wrong, it's a really neat wrapper, I'm just curious about why I should use this library instead of an already in HTML5 implemented, easy way which does pretty much the same?
By HTML5 manifest file, do you mean the Application Cache? Because that is apparently (I've never tried it) anything but an 'easy way' [0]. Whereas this script appears to wrap ServiceWorkers, which is the 'modern', recommended way to do things [1]. Also being a 'neat wrapper' with a simple API is often a good enough reason for something to exist.
