I wonder if an Android calendar would be considered. Google’s calendar seems to dominate since the AOSP was dropped (it’s kinda maintained under the “Etar” brand now). Thunderbird desktop has a calendar.

I think the August 2001 backup is a good restore point.

TBH this is why I’ve never used Telegram.

Yep. It’s not Inkscape.

Do PhotoShop and Illustrator both do full vector editing? I never paid to find out.

Photoshop can’t draw capsicums so GIMP is still better.

I’ve set my phone so it will erase if someone enters the PIN backwards (GrapheneOS duress code). It would be fun to watch the authorities wipe the phone.

I’d probably get deported over it, but whatever.

2024 Suzuki Swift.

You even need to dial in the date and time manually because there’s no GPS either.

I didn’t tell ChatGPT who I am. I have a separate email address for it and everything.

Just keep in back of mind how everything is being linked and profiled behind the scenes. Without anything else, all they have to link you to other things is an IP address and an email. IP addresses aren’t terribly reliable these days. There may be supercookie/fingerprinting mischief going on though.

Even if a relative has shared their DNA, it can be used to make some fairly safe assumptions about yours.

My car’s computer doesn’t transmit. It doesn’t log anything more than engine fault codes. That’s how I like it.

Before even typing “notepad” after hitting Win+R, I realised I could just paste my text directly into the run dialog and re-copy it.

The backend and frontend on the product I work on are like this.

As long as you remember that booleans are not strings and should always be parsed if they are, this won’t be a problem.

I am yet to see a boolean.parse() implementation in the wild that is case sensitive.

I would have assumed the hosts file got cached, indexed and re-read if the file changes. Surely it’s not read and parsed for every single hostname lookup.

My adblock list is in BIND9 anyway, so I don’t get this issue. I can see it definitely takes a second or two to parse the whole list on startup.

Leave the battery in and you have a free UPS. Perhaps set it capped at 80% charge to increase its lifespan.

My server is always my old desktop hardware. It’s a 4th-gen i5 with 16GB RAM and it’s keeping up fine. I have thrown quite a lot of work at it too. If you avoid containers, you can serve 20 services off it no problem.

I too, was worried about power costs. Every time I do the maths, the new hardware will be obsolete by the time I make the money back in savings. If you’re concerned about environmental impact, the initial manufacture of hardware does more damage than running it over its lifetime.

Dedicated (1U rackmount) servers are always loud and power-hungry. I they idle at 130w and sound like a hairdryer that’s been left on.

Find secondhand on Facebook marketplace. Dive into an e-waste bin if you have to.

Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality”

Removing Copilot wasn’t unintentional at all. They said so right there in the release notes.

The photoshop page doesn’t even have a download link.

0/10 would not download.

This is what I did. Flashed OpenWRT on all devices and enabled the 802.11r stuff. My “mesh” is just multiple APs connected by ethernet and fast BSSID handover.

802.11s is a mesh where it’s all done over Wifi. 802.11r uses ethernet for comms between APs.

BambuLab A1 Mini. It has a WNIC.

Blockchain 10 years ago was hyped like AI now.

It would be great if more smart devices had a LAN-only control mode like my 3D printer, TV and AV receiver.

I would be perfectly happy if my iRobot phone app only worked from inside my network.

Mozilla gave them an OK privacy rating. Not great, but not terrible.
