Better-compressed in saved Mbytes, but comparing images, that compression somehow looks more…fake. Hard to describe how.

A lot of that could very well be French attitude versus American attitude and the doctors offices going, “yeah, no, we’re not accepting new patients.” Accept 5 new French patients 2 minutes later. Especially given the American attitude given off in the quotes in the article are classic entitled behavior. “You mean you can’t make a Martini if it isn’t on the menu!??!!”

Phones are surprisingly hard to get into these days under normal conditions. Used to be able to ask a lost phone to call mom to find the owner. Now the voice profile doesn’t match.

No, the wireless chipset is most frequently on a card or sometimes soldered somewhere else on the board.

So is typing in your passphrase while out in public around cameras. Might as well just not use the phone.

Just familiarize yourself with your phone’s lockdown mode so it’s muscle memory.

I now know what that actually is, and would also like to watch it. Games are so terribly slow with never-ending commercial breaks.

It started with requiring larger antennas, then larger batteries. LTE was super inefficient, and low frequency bands need large antennas.

Then the industry tried to push tablets and smartphones to sell more devices. Most people settled on a single device, the large smartphone that already exists and forego the tablet. In a lot of cases forego the computer as well.

Somewhere in the middle, the industry self-proclaimed that people obviously prefer large smartphones, when there were no small ones available anymore.

…and here we are.

That worked out great for Apple, Microsoft, and others. Good luck, Amazon.

I don’t get it. They’re not already?

Wow. Hadn’t thought about it that way.

Sometimes the future is really, really, really really…dumb.

Depredation is bad.

All four of us!

Similar history including gentoo and distcc to speed up openoffice and x11 compiles with a pile of old computers.

Put linux on a PC laptop and it just so happens the NVMe controller in conjunction with the kernel driver has some glitch that causes the hard drive to fall off the bus forever. No big deal…

It’s great seeing a bunch of nvme nvme0: I/O (number) (I/O Cmd) QID 10 timeout, aborting then reset controller then removing after probe annnd data loss. Didn’t have the patience to figure out the bug in the driver right now. Maybe someday.

Win10 gets Copilot as well. Pushed without consent. Likewise if you use a program like InControl to lock W11 to 22H2, you can keep copilot at bay. For a time.

Switching to any other platform is better though. Screw them.

Great write-up and great find! You’ll find companies will often try to weasel out of actually honoring ethical programs more than not, but that doesn’t mean give up! If nothing else, the learning will lead to long term education and basically forever employment in various fields.
