I think you’re forgetting femboys.

OK, you explained it well to me with the car example. I am not a car person, all I know about them is they can usually move, but I am not really interested to learn more.

I actually thought I was having issues with Debian. I was only getting like 6 - 8 updates when I tried to do them, even after a longer period of time. I kept searching around how to update Debian properly, but found no good answer.
Then something like 2 months later there was a large number of updates at once. So it is working then, huh.

Don’t worry, they’ll get monetized to hell.

From a deal on racknerdtracker.com (so RackNerd as the name suggests).
But their panel is a bit limited. If you want a custom OS that isn’t provided, you have to open a ticket with them to get an ISO mounted. You can also boot into recovery environment, but that is outdated minimal installation of Debian 9 without working APT. I was still able to use it to install Arch Linux from bootstrap image though. I just had to decompress it on my PC, create a temporary partition for it and scp it over.

And I am again mentioning Arch. It comes naturally.

?

https://racknerdtracker.com/ keeps all the deals that don’t expire.

Not at all. And that’s without whois privacy.
.com .net .org .us .me are $24.95/year
.meme is $24.99/year
.io is whopping $69.00/year

Sorry, but the argument above was for a regular user, who doesn’t know what Rufus is, who doesn’t know the concept of OS, who simply knows thinks the files are saved “on the computer” (while they somehow ended up on OneDrive).

You should go back to your home country or something like that. /s

What about more extreme cases, say Castaway (movie) type situation. Stranded on an island in middle of nowhere.

But conveniently, one of the packages has a functional 2m battery powered radio and a Yagi too. There’s no one you can make contact with, except… the ISS.
What if the ISS was the only station you could contact?
“Hello International Space Station, I am stranded on an island after a plane crash. Can you help?”

Free Starlink during disasters for everyone, but for surveilence child protection and anti-terrorism you must accept X as a Certificate Authority.

I asked a lecturer some question, I think it was what happens when bit shifting signed integers.
He asked an LLM and read the answer.
Similarly he asked an LLM how to determine memory size allocated by malloc. It said that it was not possible, and that was the answer. But a 2009 answer from stack overflow begged to differ.
At least he actually tried it out when I told him.

But at this point I even had my father send me an LLM written slop that was clearly bullshit (made up information about non-existent internal system at our college), which he probably didn’t even read as he copied everything including “AI answers may be inaccurate.”

I have similar issue with Google.
At some point I used to use Google Photos backups. I wanted to delete the backed up files, but there’s no way to do that. It would also delete them from the devices.
And I guess it checks them based on hash, because even in the main view it always figures out where the files are currently stored, if on device, even after I moved them elsewhere. Otherwise these other images only show up in their respective folders, not the main view.

You can always re-start.

Depends.
I am in uni, so a bit different, but there’s many sites that allow access to articles, studies, books, etc. to us based on source IP. And I guess it could be hard to route only those, especially if some of them decide to use Cloudflare or similar.

Another option is doing so for easier monitoring of work devices that people will always try to use for things they’re not supposed to.

You are supposed to look at the road, yet we have roadside billboards.

I’ll add something:

For the DNS I use NextDNS. They allow for control and monitoring. I recommend not using the block page. It took me months to figure out what was (exactly - I didn’t see the app behave like that before) eating my data, but resolving to IP with different service makes certain apps go nuts. For example, NetMonster was trying to make connection every second. Also some apps don’t seem to care about HTTPS and just proceed to show whatever is shoved at them.
Without block page, they get 0.0.0.0 and won’t send garbage to NextDNS.
I used the RethinkDNS firewall app to track this down.
I checked my screenshots, it was 2.3KB per request. With 24/7 on data, that’s 5.9GB/month of garbage. Yikes. And that’s just 1 app.

For DPI, above or equal to 600, you get tablet UI. This changes layout of some apps and gives you app icons and app drawer next to navigation buttons, if you’re not using gestures. I usually use 705dp. A bit of extreme for most.
Oh, and reportedly high DPI settings used to cause boot loop on some MIUI devices, but it can cause glitches on some other devices (broken navigation on Moto G54 5G when I tried).
