Never create a file named “-rf *” unless you really plan on keeping it.

It’s called “perpetual” but obviously, it’s capped at a certain very reasonable limit.
An AI trained on old Internet material would be like a synthetic Grandpa Simpson:
“In my day we said ‘all your base’ and laughed all day long, because it took all day to download the video.”
I had a Kia Rio. They sent out a safety recall warning that an ABS leak could cause a short and it could catch fire (this is after the big problem of them being easy to steal).
They’re was no fix at the time. The only advice on the recall was “avoid parking near structures” in case it set fire to buildings.
Months later the fix was available: a smaller fuse that would blow before the short got hot enough to burn.
Phones used to have a round charger socket, a USB socket that could also be used to charge, plus the headphone socket and SD card slot. I’m sure they could have found room for both USB C and Lightning, with all the other things that were removed.

And there it is in msinfo!
Thanks very much. I’ve been using veracrypt for years, it’s good to know that I have another option (especially to simplify things for family members).
But that’s not the case for Windows Home, is it? The FDE setting just takes me to a page to upgrade to Pro. My laptop does have TPM.
I still have a directory of installers for “useful programs”. Some of them probably date back to the 90s and would need dosbox to run.
Loss Of Pulse Detection will probably work like this:
“Your pulse has stopped. Google Assistant is attempting to call the emergency services. But first you’ll have to unlock your device.” … “Here are some results I found on the web.”
The older fingerprint readers that were on the back or below the screen worked perfectly and near-instantly (I’ve used several Nexus, Pixel and Moto phones).
At least some of the newer in-screen readers are slow and unreliable. I’ve heard that the ultrasonic ones are better.
Never buy from a seller with a name that could be an airline bookinng reference.
It says “crowdsourced traffic” so maybe they want lots of users to gather traffic data from.
The FAQ says that it requires an Internet connection.
It also mentions e2ee, which isn’t too reassuring when one of the ends is their servers.
The “get shared and with whom” link in that article has “how to opt out” information.
Someone posted this recently, how to opt out of data collection.
Lots of ideas on Microsoft’s site:
Shouldn’t they get back to their job of being inside people, in pairs?
It’s not a simple story of just taking away the phone.
I discovered she’d circumvented the screen limits and had been using social media into the wee hours of the morning.
And later, after she did take the phone away, she found her daughter had kept all old phone that was supposedly sold.
It does seem to be a pretty extreme case, but there was lots going on here.
Maybe so. But it did process duplicity backups every week for hundreds of Gb, so it did a fair amount of work even though not constantly active.
I’m not sure that you belong in this thread :)
