To be fair, you should always think twice about devices like that. At the very least, put them on their own VLAN, or at least have Pi-Hole running

The fall isn't really the issue, you would probably be injured but not dead. That is, unless traffic is moving at 70 mph beneath you, in which case you're almost guaranteed to not only immediately die, but forever traumatize potentially dozens of drivers. I would say the value of stopping traffic is pretty high, and the trucks probably stopped before the police were ever even called if I had to guess Edit: clarity
I don't find that to be a particularly compelling argument though. If you go to buy a lead acid battery for solar usage, for example, they give you the capacity based on a 20-hour discharge (or, 1/20th C rate). The same could absolutely be done for primary batteries
Use the Aurora Store!
Not on GrapheneOS :)
I would also suggest looking into GrapheneOS if you're looking for something new. I've been running it for 6 months on my pixel 6, and I have really enjoyed it. Apps just work, you can still use Google Play services in a sandbox, it's smooth and gets good battery life. The only downside that I have run across is the lack of Android auto support, but everything else just works
I'm lucky - I'm in a Midwest town as well (between 1500 to 3000 people) in the US. A couple of years ago, fiber got installed. I'm getting about 900Mbps down and 99 up, no data cap, for $84/month. Before that I also had Mediacom, and the data cap was infuriating. So glad I could switch!
I've actually been thinking about doing this, though I think it would be even better if there was a smart USB socket that could adjust the power output on the fly. For example, you could program a custom charging curve to have full speed charging until 50%, 10 Watts until your desired battery level. For now I guess the smart switch idea is better than nothing
Proxmox. I've been using it and deployed jellyfin in a container, they have a bunch of one-click deployments and it's great. Or you can just use a VM to group Docker containers together. Having a beautiful web interface is huge, Plus being able to access that interface from anywhere via WireGuard/Tailscale is great.
If you do choose to go down this route, there is a "no-nag proxmox" script somewhere, and it will disable some warnings and give you deeper customization options. Well worth a look!
Anything scanning messages or media on my device is an absolute NO if I don't control it.
They both tell the same story, but one requires extra information you don't have. You don't say that the latest i3 pulls 6 Amps, you say it pulls 65 Watts. Also the voltage does change as the battery discharges, that's why you use the nominal voltage of the pack. mAh is also not a current
So glad you just mentioned this - I'll have to take a look!
Yes! It runs on an old gaming PC for me, without flaws
Underrated comment right here lol
I'm out of the loop, what is the advantage to coreboot?
Did you read the last part of the comment?
I would argue that's actually a good thing for the average user. Computers and other personal electronics have become so reliable that you rarely have to delve into those tools as an average user. You can actually see the trend of simplification and everything but Windows - Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android are all immutable operating systems where user data and applications live separately from a read-only operating system partition. This is obviously not the case for all Linux distros but the point still stands.
Working in IT, I'm glad to see that despite the move to immutability in the Linux world, I actually have access to more tools than I did on base Ubuntu. blendOS and NixOS allowing you to spin up an operating system of your choice in a container, pull down whatever programs you want, all without cluttering your system? It really is the best of both worlds. Plus I still need a rock solid system, Knowing that I will always be able to apply an update without anything breaking is a huge win for all users. Back to the original point, technology has become so reliable and easy to use that you feasibly can just open your browser every morning and leave it at that. No hassling with clearing cache or anything, it just works.
Nope, I'm running it now! You unlock the bootloader, flash the ROM, then lock it back up. As long as you don't mind the lack of Android Auto, it is basically a completely flawless experience and I have loved almost every moment of it. Especially if you host your own services like nextcloud and jellyfin, everything works seamlessly!
That could be interesting, as then the corporations would still be paying for a percentage of repairs directly
I'm pretty sure he stepped down right after the controversy, but I'm too lazy to look it up to confirm
This is me with those stupid "Dude relaaaaaaaxxxx" ads for Hello Fresh. I watch them, oddly mesmerized by how bad they are. Also some of the things they show are literally 3 ingredients (potatoes, cheese, pepper for smashed potatoes).
To their credit, they've stopped claiming they're cheaper than groceries
Isn't this the idea of having a chipset (Northbridge/Southbridge) on the board, to handle some of these IO tasks?
Also, I recently saw the Cathode Ray Dude video on Dell's Brain Slug, where down basically hijacked the system with a low-power ARM SBC. I almost wonder if something like this would be possible, it would obviously require a revision but it would theoretically allow for suspended downloads, invite notifications, etc. It would also be fairly expensive and complex though
Same here, especially with picture in picture for video playback. It just gets in the way and I hate it
As do I, it is odd that he just guided them in though. At least, from the very grainy security footage he showed me a year ago
Do tell, I'm curious to learn more. Does it really matter if it knows how many pages you've printed? It's not going to magically tell you you can't print anymore when you can see that there's still ink in there
True, we've gotta be the ones to push friends and family to fight that
I will say, my used Pixel 6 (GrapheneOS) has worked beautifully so far, with no hardware defects. If I had to complain, the speakers aren't particularly loud, but I've had no hardware issues with it. I agree with other people, it sounds like it could be a bad motherboard? It would be interesting if you could post a video of the issue
I wish Google would implement what Apple does, when you click the lock button five times to dial emergency services it will also disable biometrics. I don't think doing that disabled biometrics, only calls emergency services on Android. Even better, install "Duress" from F-Droid and you can set a decoy pin that resets the phone (or just reboots it)
Goldberg Steam Emulator helps a bit (not sure if it's only for ARM Linux devices though). Hit replicates the functionality that scheme client provides, so even if steam itself should disappear you still have that. That doesn't really help with third-party DRM, but it's at least something that could help in such an event
I agree completely. Like I said, it's a problem that Apple has manufactured. But I blame Apple for making third party message clients into second class citizens, I don't blame the users
Almost every other app has those features, absolutely. And that wouldn't be a problem if Apple didn't prevent them from feeling like first-class apps, or they adopted RCS
BattleBots for the win, fantastic action!
But there are private and open source alternatives to these things. Home Assistant is the way to go for home automation, same with Apple's HomeKit (all local communication via your network only)
Get a pixel and install GrapheneOS. Using a pixel and Linux machines, you can use KDE Connect to get basically every integration you get with iOS and macOS. Admittedly not everything is quite so seamless like Apple's products, but it's quite nice. Plus, no Google snooping on your stuff (unless you choose to install Google services, which you can do with one tap)
Thankfully that guy stepped down (or is stepping down)
GrapheneOS is also another good option - I've been running it for 6+ months so far and I'm loving it! The only downside I can think of is the lack of Android Auto support, although that's never been a thing that I've used
SwitchBot makes a retrofit deadbolt controller that straps onto the inside
I have it, unfortunately it does not seem to block Snapchat ads. Or maybe it does and I just haven't noticed? A lot of the time I'm using Snapchat out of the house, I haven't bothered to set up an exit note for tail scale yet (Even worse, tell scale is still broken for me on Android)
Set up NextCloud, sync your photos to your own NextCloud server, and you're good to go. The crazy thing is it's becoming trivial for even a non-technical user to set everything up. Tail scale means there is no reason to put forward if you are just using it for personal use, and you literally just have to log into tail scale with your Google account on the server and your phone. You can run next cloud in a virtual machine with virtualBox, and that's literally it. You don't have to deal with updating, being stuck in PHP or dependency hell, none of that. Seriously, we are at such a crazy time in history where you can set up your own cloud infrastructure with an hour of work for even an non-technical user, and stop paying for iCloud photos or Google photos storage each month. It saves you money and improves your privacy
You can scrub shorts on mobile (might have to pause it first), but not desktop for some reason...
