Correct. But I hope that motorola makes a second one. So ill be shouting from the rooftops for people to get their soon to be legally problematic computing equipment sooner rather than later.

Seconding the motorola suggestion, but hold a little longer until the GrapheneOS compatable models drop.

There is a level of irony on this topic regarding Lemmy. In that the lead dev is persona non grata in a majority of instances and his instance is defederated by many others.

“Death of the Author” is one of those questions that needs an answer but people wont be consistent in their responses, especially weird online communities like here.

My dream phone is made by Fairphone, runs Graphene and has pin-board power switches like the Pinephone (its got good ideas, but its running a 2013 chipset, its a dev device for making linux mobile work better)

… Wishful thinking.

Wireless charging requires induction coils, they either need to include them in a custom battery pack (which goes against their philosophy for how they source parts) or to include it in back plate which would also complicate a simple component. You can just get a protective case with the induction coils in it, it would make the device a bit taller for the extra usb-c plug.

Ive been rocking an EU FP4 in the states for years now (had a UK distributer just ship me one) so im biased, but try not to be overly negitive over a problem you can fix yourself.

Exactly that, its not easy to fat-finger, but is dumb enough that its the second thing anyone would guess.

For anything beyond document printing, I agree with you. But for this use case, the fact that the print head is disposable is a good call. Large plotter printers have dump trays and maintainence cycles to keep the ink liquid and moving, the parts are more expensive to replace.

Because your only using the head and ink well independently, nothing is counting pages or stopping you from refilling it. Its the best of both sides of consumable parts.

Construction and vibrations caused by the generators disturb well water systems. Or if a main is close enough, heavy construction will settel the ground and break pipes.

All the data center issues are caused by people and towns not classifying them as heavy industry. Do you want an aluminum foundry in your back yard? No, then same goes for a data center.

Spin the wheel of dystopian sci-fi and lets see where we land next week.

People do not know the manufacturing cost of TVs because everything is a smart device that generates data for to be sold by the manufacturer. A dumb device cost a premium in [insert current year] because they have to account for that lack of that revenue stream to keep the lights on. Its why dumb “commercial displays” cost an arm and a leg (plus they are designed to be on 24/7, their actual specs are usually fairly mid).

Its funnier than that, jammers are not legal, but data poisioning is. Leave a device near by that just rotates through IDs of all the signal types you know its listening for and it protects everyone passing by because their UIDs get lost in the noise.

Ya know, thats a good idea. I would make the time frame shorter depending on what the range of the transmitter is. If you switch while in range of the camera would it pick you up as two vehicles?

From everyhing ive seen, its a modern remake of close encounters, but with all the trappings of current year Hollywoo.

CD and special effects feel less magical, its the reason Project Hail Mary felt different. Everyone knew Ryan was acting along side a puppet. Good sci-fi is possible, but reality is too jaded and needs things to be a bit more hopeful.

Yep, the Nightmare Eclipse* crashout continues to be endlessly entertaining and a train wreck for Microsofts security devs.

*Thanks for yhe name correction.

The bullshit isnt for you, its for the AI filter that handles intake before you read a single application. (And if your not using AI to filter, your getting spammed by AI applications because everyone else is playing that game) Applicants are trying to beat the machine, and when the requirements get stricter the applicants just use more AI to send out more applications. Its a vicious cycle that will only end when hiring managers filter with something that a machine can not do.

Dont even get started on the personal data collection of the job sites. Its the most soul crushing thing to be looking for a job right now, anything to make you stand out of a crowd is ignored, volume of applications and adherance to posted requirments are the only way to get a fleeting interaction with a human.

I feel like the solution either needs to go back to in person and paper ads or a personal website acts as your resume, anything other than what we have right now.

Woz continues to be the good Steve.

Thats exactly what they did last time, ship all the fundy religious nuts overseas, the Massachusetts bay colony was full of religious exiles deemed too “extra” for post-reformation Europe… And look where we are now.

The new AmEx cards are getting out of hand.

Between this and the Cardputer-zero, im very excited for the next-gen digital swiss army knives.

Im sure golden arches could find a way to mess up preserved cucumbers. Just give em a bit.
