We’ve been without a lot of things for millennia

This is something that Rust is specifically designed to prevent.

A robot doesn’t need to be anthropomorphic, an assembly line robot is still a robot. It does however need to be able to perform some actions autonomously, for which a vibrator hardly qualifies.

One thing that you do still need root for however is proper backups. The built-in backup system is tied to Google, and it’s very limited in what it will back up, nowhere near what you can do with root backup software like Titanium Backup.

Yes, using KDE Connect, which has had this functionality for ages. Though you’re best off using the F-Droid version since Google has severely limited the Play Store version using SAF. Seems like they’ve they’ve given Microsoft a pass here even though they’ve blocked KDE Connect from doing the exact same thing for years.

Where are you? It’s gonna defer depending on your country. In most of the world it’s available on Netflix.

None of which are in this picture. The person in the picture talks only favorably of immutable systems yet is apparently against them, thus making for an easy target by arguing against themselves, so a straw man.

I’m actually positive to immutable systems, I just thought the argument wasn’t great. I realize that’s about what Skinner does in the meme, but it feels weak.

On second thought, I think the reason it was so jarring is because normally points against Skinner are in top picture, and the bottom picture has him abandon that line of thoughts in favor of something simplistic, thus changing his mind from one side to the other. Whereas here, the points against Skinner are at the end point of the meme, and thus he argues in both directions simultaneously.

This seems rather strawman-y

You can have a physical SIM alongside an eSIM. These days you may have to have at least one of them be an eSIM, as many phones only have one physical SIM slot.

64 for the wan interface

Nitpicking, but the address for the wan interface wouldn’t have a prefix, so the host would just set it as a /128 (point-to-point)

Figured I’d do the math on the power required.

In the article, they show a iPhone 15 Pro, which has a 3274 mAh battery, so let’s go with that. Assuming a 3.7 V battery and a 1 minute charging time, that’s 3274 mAh × 3.7 V / 1 min ≈ 727 W.

Sounds like a typical COBOL dev

What’s the difference between significantly and extensively?

This phone is the successor to the Edge 40 not the Pro

Not really, it’s closer to the Edge 40 Pro than to the Edge 40 in price. And the Edge 50 Ultra looks like it’s gonna be way more expensive than the 40 Pro, whle also having a lower refresh-rate screen.

Not even better, it’s actually a downgrade from its predecessor in terms of refresh rate and SoC, going from 165 Hz to 144 Hz, and from a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 to a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (which also means it drops AV1 hardware decoding, which its predecessor had).

Why do you feel the need to install an app for a coffee shop?

All the easy options like from Amazon are DRM encumbered. But the DRM-free options are still available if you are willing to search a bit.

Are they? Where (other than piracy)? A lot of books seems to be sold exclusively with DRM from what I can tell. Some are even exclusive to Amazon.

Proper firewall

What services does it have that are listening on external interfaces?

It’s not necessarily counterproductive, it depends on what you’re trying to accomplish

Rooted users can probably bypass this issue with some Magisk modules the same way they do with GPay and banking apps.

That doesn’t work anymore due to hardware attestation
