Understanding Delayed Expansion in Batch CMD

Islam NEGM — Mon, 04 Jan 2021 09:28:35 +0000

I always try to avoid writing Batch script files as it's really tedious to maintain them in contrary of other scripting languages like BASH for example.

But sometimes it's unavoidable to deal with some Batch code. That's why it's really important to understand some concepts specially the "Delayed Expansion" concept in batch files.

This is a good tutorial of understanding the concept of "Delayed Expansion" in batch files. This is a good concept to know when writing a Batch file that is including relatively not simple code (for example if, for, ..etc) statements.

Enjoy,

Can a Wallpaper Break Your Android Phone?

Islam NEGM — Sat, 26 Dec 2020 01:57:09 +0000

Summary

A bug found in android color space converter software that causes the conversion for a certain pixel of a photo buggy and causes the converter software to crash. The issue becomes more critical if you tried to set this picture as a background, thus the converter will be triggered each time and also fail, so basically, you will stuck in an infinite loop of failures without fault management. In the end, you will have to erase/wipe your phone to restore its functionality.

Fix?

In Android 11 this should be fixed as per the video.
