I would guess bot activity related to covid or any other american political thing

Will try. Any benefit?

Isnt your data encrypted when you have a pw set on your phone? For a screen or battery replacement they dont need to know your pw.

I take a 200ml glass and overfill it with ice. I pull a double shot directly on it and the ice collapses till the brim. The double espresso I pull visibly fills half or a bit more of the glass due to the ice. Then i top it up with a bit of milk no measurement.

I will try this. All summer I have been just pulling espressos directly on ice cubes the added a touch of milk. I know its a crime but whatever, I liked it a lot and got me going.

So what is the issue with this project https://libreboot.org/ ? maybe instead demanding change, supporting alternatives is a better option

There is np such thing as overkill while some governments actively funding quantum computing projects for the sole purpose of code cracking

DIY is like that. If you look up how to make a birdhouse they will tell you you need a saw, a hammer, nails, drill, paintbrush and something to measure with. Having a 3d printer and a soldering iron nowadays is pretty low entry, you can get into it cheaper that buying the saw, hammer and drill for the birdhouse. You don’t have to buy the bambulab printer and the weller / hakko iron. You can print this case on an ender 3 you found in the dumpster. Or pay 10 bucks for someone and they will print it for you. On the other hand you will have a device you can infinitely repair unlike the kindles that are kicking the dust every few year for everyone.

You mean the ad infested ebook reader that has less and less features with each version? Yeah sounds great. Buy a Kobo instead and host your own library with Calibre.

Windows -at this point- is free to use at least for personal reasons and there are zero consequences if you don’t activate your copy. They used to give you deadline in the XP/Vista era to activate your copy but not anymore. All you get is a watermark in the corner that either bothers you or not. They are as well very sloppy with closing activation methods, they could just close a new gate every patch Tuesday but they don’t do it. It is far far more important to them that everyone is using windows and there is a high chance based on last week’s news that there will be a subscription “premium” version like in any app that removes ads and enables AI features.

I walk next door. I like that its close by and I can spend my lunchtime laying on my couch. I hate its close by so I’m practically always working. I would also want to listen podcasts during commute but all of them are too long for my commute. Overall I recommend living close to work. (it’s my own business, I’m not employee)

Music piracy was big till spotify apprared. iTunes had a limited selection, music remixes, small band stuff were not available. iTunes only had what Sony and some other music distributors supplied. I understand what you are saying but still, piracy was there and iTunes was not primary source. Spotify came and now music piracy is basically limited to high quality audio albums which is a niche market.

Paying 0.99 per song was how a better user experience? Music piracy was pretty big till Spotify. No service was even close before.

Sssh… Everyone lives in default country

For the small price of 250 scalper dollars you will be able to buy it

I’m pretty sure basic usage statistics were updloaded previously as well without an account. Now they want you to login, give jucy permissions on your phone and upload all the “usage” data … for security.

They do go early these days. Just a coincidence.

I’m blaming companies making a windows and linux version of a software while the linux version is wastly inferior, full of bugs and unstable. I do love the OS but the software experience sometimes ruining it.

You can pick your friends, pick your spouse. You cannot pick parents. You dont have to forgive them just because they are your parents. Shit behaviour is not forgivable. If they are behaving like a 5 years old on tantrum maybe they need to be left with their thoughts and think it over. They will change their mind when they are left out of things.
