Amazon was toxic from day one, anticompetitive, borderline illegal, definitely corrupt as hell. It is what Epic Games Store would have been if it had been long before steam lol. The amount of shit that they bankrupted into the ground with cheap Chinese copies off the backs of VC funds while making tons of loss and then removing their storefronts…

But as soon as GabeN dies, steam will become shit probably as the vultures close in.

Wait wait wait, but trump (and magats) said everyone at the US 2020 insurrection that the only people there were Fed agent provocateurs and paid Antifa™™ actors.

Well and then Trump pardoned them but that was just forgotten about and definitely unrelated.

Glad I bought 305M of S/UTP Cat6a 8 months ago for our renovation

The number of Democrat voters also. Could be a political cleansing…

What people never seem to realize is that the most popular solar panel + inverter + battery configurations do not work when the grid goes down. Newer systems often have 1-2 outlets that are dedicated as “works with grid failure”.

This is by design so maintenance workers don’t get electrocuted working on lines that are thought to be unpowered.

You need special inverters with built in grid detection and independent frequency generation AND a switch between your meter and your house so that it will dynamically start/stop grid tying (or at least have a manual DPDT/DP4T high amp switch.

I would bet literally any amount of money that the button doesn’t stop the AI from training on your data.

This is the biggest bait ever hahaha.

Android below red hat in corporate/authoritarian and equal to Ubuntu 😂 the OS that is trying to take away installing apps not from them and trying to fully track app developers while not giving a damn about malware that effects the user because it doesn’t effect their bottom line?

SUSE released a set of completely open source sans serif font for targeted at os-level fonts. It is a pretty good font and I started using it on many of my systems.

I mean, that won’t really work. It dampens the signal, not eliminates it, and in order to block communications, you need a net width small enough to block 1/4 wavelength which is 5cm/4, so <1 cm holes with a material thick enough for the damping.

That would be a net that weighs like 20kg lol and it would essentially be a solid cage at that point

Not to mention that it would have to fully encompass them.

Better to just use a signal jammer like they do for drones.

I would suggest first doing the basics first before diving in and trying to run cracked games. I had trouble and had to go through multiple troubleshooting steps to get DODI repacks working on windows even. the difference is there are a ton of resources of people spending hours and hours fixing broken cracked games on windows (dodi Hogwarts legacy has like 100+ threads on reddit with fixes) where Linux just isn’t popular enough yet to have a big community find fixes for your cracked games for you already and the fixes from windows often don’t work.

First try browsers, steam games, streamimg, and light use while dual booting, you can still keep windows for the games that don’t work on Linux.

It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Just take it one step at a time. You are trying to reduce tracking. That is going to be 90% internet browsing, so if you already switch to Linux for that, you are much of the way there.

Palantir

They have unique digital fingerprints for everyone already pretty much, but they are not linked to official government IDs so there is still uncertainty I think over identification.

This makes everyone’s digital fingerprint linked on a government ID. Voila, now every person in America is known by Palantir and the government at all times (more or less). Great for genocide and targeting your political opponents and voters to set up sham elections.

It also tries to stop poors who don’t have drivers licenses in America from organizing as they can’t verify.

Now with Flock surveiling most of the US: Jaywalking or littering and a Democrat or worse, leftist? You are a criminal and intelligible to vote. Incoming trump 75+% win for an illegal 3rd term or Vance.

Thiel famously said “what if there was a way, through technology, to achieve your political goals without having to beg and plead to convince people who will never agree with you anyway”

How do you know that when literally every single interview with a magat who has had their face eaten and gone bankrupt has said “I would vote for home again”?

Yeah, I am no fan of proton and they have lied before (no log VPN logs magically finding logs for authorities and then later removing the no-log claim).

But this is literally just proton being legally compelled to hand over data the user willingly gave (not being harvested or de-encrypted). A nothing story.

I think China had much more to gain by completely crashing the US economy and becoming the world Electronics design hub as well as manufacturing. They don’t need more land and definitely wouldn’t want to deal with US citizens as far as administration goes.

Sadly it won’t work on fairphone 6 because it only has USB 2.0 and there isn’t enough bandwidth.

I am confused.

In developer options in basic android you can simply enable the feature right?

My old Sony xperia 5 ii can do that and it definitely isn’t a Sony feature…

Nope, it bypasses that and gives you many of the strava premium features by just parsing it out of the “raw” data. Most of the strava features are just statistics or hiding basic data calculated from your runs behind a paywall anyway. You can do the calculations yourself, technically.

I don’t think I have ever heard that for the a series. That if fact, I have always heard that it is just about the best price-value on the market, the downside being that it is google and no SD card slot (which is common now). They use the flagship chip in it still, right?

I bet you any amount of money that if you did a survey 20 years ago, you would get 90-95% saying that it is a wild conspiracy theory and isn’t true.

Sadly, I think this is opening many many Americans’ eyes.

Wasn’t the last thinkphone from 2024?

Would be nice, but the last think phone had mediatek instead of Qualcomm so I don’t know if that will be the case (mediatek seems a lot harder to make custom ROMs for and there aren’t too many).

But modeled after the first think phone would be awesome. USB 3.1, wireless charging, decent camera for its time, but no SD card slot or headphone jack…
