You are right, out of the bingo board of things that could go wrong, this one they have yet to check. Check again next year, they might get it by then!
You should see what happened to the "original"
Sure, your iCloud data is encrypted, but what about all the metadata that Apple collects from your phone or on the files in iCloud? What about everything else you're doing on your phone? It's not just about having access to the data of your files.
Also, not having encryption on by default is creepy and purposeful.
Apple is not an option for me as they are completely closed source and super invasive of customer privacy (their privacy claims are "only we will know everything about you" which is creepy AF)
On the same concept I can also say that hou should just use a linux phone as these are very likely to be kept updated for years, but it's not really a reasonable option for this situation.
Fuck days! We should all just use epoch and that's it.
Wanna meetup at 1719853000
Sure! What time?
Around 900?
Great!
And they meetup on roughly 1.7.24 17:12:00 GMT
I have a Pixel 4a (with Calyx) for a few years already (start of 2021) and it's still going great. The battery is okay. Everything works nice. It's smooth. It runs everything perfectly fine.
This makes me glad to see that hardware wise this phone was really built to last, I can't even count how many times I dropped it so hard that I was scared to see the damage (which was always either nothing or a broken screen protector)
But software wise I'm screwed as security updates are already gone from Google and I only get the extended support from Calyx which will also end soon.
Now I'm forced to choose between having a phone that is insecure or buying a new one.
So thanks Google for the high quality hardware, but what's up with this software planned obsolescence??
I know this isn't exactly right to repair, but it also kind of is because if Google decided to ditch the 4a, they should be forced to open source the software so that the public can actually repair it.
I'm sure that some of their latest updates can be modified slightly to work for the 4a, but they don't care and for them this is a win-win since they don't have to maintian support and they get new customers who would otherwise be satisfied with an "old" phone.
What happened to the days when an old phone meant a phone that was already crumbling to pieces, and not a fully functional computer that is slightly older then a toddler?
You think I have time for that? I cry on my way to work, like a responsible adult.
Most likely climate change, after that maybe war and past that maybe disease from super bacteria that does not respond to antibiotics or a virus that is very deadly but with a long incubation, basically a deadlier covid, since the world has showed that it is completely unable to get it's shit together and do basic things like social distance and masks.
The last one is not as likely in the sense that it's not likely to kill all of us, just a really big part, but I fully expect to see something like that happening in my lifetime and causing the deaths of hundreds of millions.
Honestly, brilliant move, even if the commercial sucks this is one of those "no bad publicity" situations since everyone is going to talk about the first AI commercial.
But after watching this ad, it honestly looks pretty good, slight uncanny vibes but if I just took it as "artistic choice" (ironic I know) of actually feels like a really nice ad
I heard that showing her how unfair it is that just because you are nice no one wants to sleep with you, is the best way to make her sleep with you out of obvious obligation to your nice personality and unjust fate
That's great for you, and it's also fine to want to eat fake meats, I just think that people are fooling them selves thinking that because it's "healthier" it means that they are actually inproving their diet in a meaningful way.
Don't over think it, start small, a home server. Then add stuff, you will see that it's not that crazy.
I personally have just one home server that locally creates encrypted backups and uploads them to backblaze.
This gives me the privacy I need as everything is on my server that I own while also having the backups on a big reliable company.
It's not perfect but it fits my threat model
Kind of a stupid question IMO.
People should stop asking these questions, the answer should always be that if you care about health you shouldn't compare hamburgers, you should eat actually healthy things like a salad or whole wheat, tofu, etc.
And yes, vegan burgers are "healthier" in the same way as getting shot in the leg is healthier then getting shot in the chest.
And I am a vegan and agree that there should be awareness around the health benefits of it, just stop thinking that by eating vegan burgers you made some sort of step towards a healthy diet.
Lol, you can still do that, just call it "the truth that big pharma doesn't want you to know"
Hi, I think in metric units, so almost everything is some form of a power of 10, like a kilogram is a 1000 grams, etc.
Sometimes I will think of an hour and half as 150 minutes before remembering that it is 90 minutes.
Does something similar happen to imperial units users? Because as far as I understand you don't have obvious patterns that would cause you to make these mistakes, right?
I strongly suspect that I have ADHD, but I can't see the benifit of getting diagnosed.
I know that if I get diagnosed and offically have ADHD I can get some medicine but I don't think I want that in any case.
Can you share your experience and what benifit you got from getting offically diagnosed?
I have a home server and I have some HTTP services running on it. I'm thinking if I should even bother with HTTPS, as I'm already using tail scale which should be peer-to-peer and encrypted. So I shouldn't worry about any men in the middle.
Am I missing something?
It just feels wrong to work with non-S HTTP :(
Hi!
I have an HP 360 which has a touch screen and I never found a DE that is great for both regular input and touch input.
Kde is great for regular stuff but meh with touch, gnome is the other way around.
I was thinking of trying out hyperland but didn't look into it's touch compitability.
Any suggestions?
I use arch btw.
So I met this girl by chance and we really hit it off, once I learned of her age I decided to just be friends as I think that 19 to 25 is an age were we mature a lot and I remember myself as a 19yo and I was not mature enough to be a good partner and to be good to myself.
I talked to a female friend of mine and she said that I'm over thinking it and that I should ask her out and be open minded, and so I did and we are going on a date soon.
The thing is, she seems really mature but I can't put aside the age gap.
Am I over thinking it? Should I really just take it slow and just be vigilant about the situation and notice if this isn't healthy for me or her?
Or should I let her down easy and continue as friends?
Update: We went on a date and it was great, I read all of the comments and there were some really good advices that I took to heart. I will take things slow and try to be as aware of the situation as possible. I hope it will go well :)
Thank you everyone!
