The absolute strangest 6 and a half hours spent in front of the screen.

I think I’ve boycotted sony for one thing or the other for the large part of my adult life. Only backed down in 2021 and bought some shares. Time to return back to normal I guess.

So the google can spy on anyone’s phone calls without a consent (google screening), but if you want to record your own phone calls, there needs to be a mandatory warning. Makes total sense :D

edit: but at least this enables automatic call recording, not just a button, plus automatic deletion of old recordings. This is actually pretty useful.

I’ve patiently waited until the flashing guide for the roborock s8 was out, went to buy the s8 pro ultra, just to discover valetudo has dropped the support, because appearently a different version of the same robot was silently released, that would’ve been turned into a brick if I tried the installation procedure.

Now I have a dumb robot. It does like 95% of what I expect it to do, but I might at least solder an ep32 to the top buttons so that scheduling through the home assistant would be possible

Last time I tried an electric, there was a 0.5s lag between me stepping on the pedal and motor starting to spin. I got used to it pretty quick, but on that first intersection I did not feel especially in controll of the whole situation.

And I think it’s about time we do something about it!

Those are beautiful, but jesus christ on a unicycle, how did they end up supporting klarna? Offering people loans for a tea cup feels insulting.

That sounds like a fancy speak for a Trusted Platform Module. Isn’t some kind of TPM mandatory to obtain a google certification for a new device?

The dawn of the 4G will forever be remembered as the time our civilization forgot how to make phones that can make phone calls. I feel embarrassed every time I randomly think about VoLTE.

people have stories how the dev is an ass

If an opensource project has an author who’s not a jerk, that’s when you get suspicious!

I once put my homelab rack outside of my apartment, in the hall. Then used it to catch a bastard who kept stealing my bike light, and later tried to snatch the whole bike.

Forgot to switch from personal to work account? :D

you’re not going to have much luck convincing anyone.

Oh boy, how I wish you were right.

No way, I thought the thrill of browsing sketchy appstores to find the other half of the ACR phone was part of the fun.

For those out of the loop - ACR phone is a dialer app that does call recording. It’s distributed through the play store, but without the call recording part, because that would be against the ToS. Once installed, it instructs you to go find the other app that serves as an accessibility module with access to the microphone. And by that I mean ONLY your microphone. The other side of the call is recorded only as an echo of the speaker caught by your own mic.

The last time I watched the “Don’t date a robot” episode of Futurama, it was a fiction.

Can only say a person who has never used meshtastic.

The more shocking is that one guy who KNOWS it’s sqlite, but ain’t afraid to admit it!

Piping scripts directly to bash is a security risk

Nobody has ever explained why. What is the difference between executing a script directly from curl, and adding a repository which downloads a package which contains a script.

This might also be the beginning of android.

So far, people have been OK with modifying the existing phones to fit their needs. We’re slowly approaching the critical inconvenience point beyond which it might be easier to buy OEM parts and start assembling un-googled phones.
