Android also shows an indicator when any app is accessing the microphone or camera now.

I’m sure someone will release an addon or some custom CSS to fix it.

It’s not uncommon for a single web page to use 5-10MB. Shopping and social media sites are the some of the worst since they have lots of javascript libraries and pictures. It’s not hard to use a couple GB in a day without streaming anything.

Modern websites are excessively bloated. That data goes fast.

I wouldn’t suggest relying on Google for anything. https://killedbygoogle.com/
Search and Gmail are probably about the only thing they won’t kill.

Punch cards have been around for over 200 years. No electronics are needed to punch them. Some very complex patterns were created with the Jacquard loom without any computers. It just takes a massive amount of work to create the cards.

I doubt it would work for the buffer memory in a high speed camera. That needs to be overwritten very frequently until the camera is triggered. They didn’t say what the erase time or write endurance is. It could work for quickly dumping the RAM after triggering, but you don’t need low latency for that. A large number of normal flash chips written in parallel will work just fine.

Those old drives may be using SLC flash. It can have a 20+ year data retention.

That doesn’t support data yet. Data will probably cost a fortune when they enable it. I doubt anyone will be willing to pay that much to serve ads. If they do, then the antenna will be replaced with a dummy load.

Luckily my neighbors are way out of WiFi range and there is barely enough cell service here to send a text from inside the house.

Don’t worry, they will slip some ever increasing hidden fees in there.

Yes, a quick search on GSM Arena shows 189 phones with a radio and headphone jack. That’s just phones from the last year.

The lack of an FM radio and headphone jack make it unusable for me.

By then we will probably be inhabiting multiple solar systems and all of earths resources will be used up. Of course that’s assuming we don’t nuke ourselves first.

It can also do 120Gbps/40Gbps asymmetric.

Any 18650 with a rated capacity of more than 4Ah is a fake. They will usually be very low capacity. The low weight and the hollow sound when you tap on it is good indicator of that too.

There are a number of reputable sites for buying 18650 cells. Stay away from Amazon and Aliexpress, they are full of fakes.

Ideally they would provide a graph showing how many watt hours it will output from minimum to maximum load. If it supports multiple voltages, there should be a separate line in the graph for each voltage.

There’s always the option of using computer monitors or projectors.

The new car is worse. They will sell your info to the highest bidder.

Yeah, they probably want to kill it and switch people over to a cloud service with a monthly subscription.
