I dunno, but it’s not like this.
I’ve tried supporting multiple news sites, but it’s always something. Like the site just crashing before I can get to pay, or an endless captcha, or my credit card being rejected as sussy, but the credit card company claims they haven’t declined anything. I’ve tried multiple credit cards, multiple computers, Firefox and Chromium, always the same.
The Onion is the closest thing to news I successfully paid for.
Castielsprostate has been using HP inkjet printers for too long. They need to get a Brother laser printer.
In 1991, lithium-ion batteries cost around $9,200 per kilowatt-hour — 33 years later, they cost just $78.
Where can I get lithium-ion batteries for $78 per kilowatt-hour?
This affects SD cards, which are extremely common and supported by open source operating systems. This affects Compact Flash cards, which use the same protocol as PATA hard drives, just a different connector.
There are things I miss from Windows 95, 98, NT, and XP. There’s nothing I miss from Windows 7, 10, or 11. Everything I cared about had been deleted by the time of Windows 7.
In an ideal world, the free market would punish AI investors for being so foolish. In reality, they’ll probably get a bailout when the bubble pops.
Unless you count everything Google as malware, in that case yes
Yes, but more urgently, Facebook.
If Motorola is willing to have a non-shitty operating system, why can’t they just put a non-shitty operating system on at the factory? All the stock Android OS I’ve seen lately, including Motorola’s, are crappy, have privacy settings disabled, and in many cases are full of unremovable malware.
I didn’t, but I’m assuming they just haven’t heard anyone say that it’s good to be nuked by NATO.
And don’t forget about people of Jewish ethnicity who are not religious. I respect them too, though I oppose Israel’s genocide.
this also references you know who
No, I don’t know who. Is it Donald Trump? Vladimir Putin? Benjamin Netanyahu? Could be any of them.
It is. But it’s not enforced. Employees in the US are afraid to ask their employers for anything because they can get fired for no reason.
Why don’t we have schematics and source code for the voting machines?
Are any of those apps FOSS?
I’m glad to see Visa suffer, but I’m pretty concerned that Wero requires a proprietary phone app. There is no way to shop using Wero without this proprietary software.
I believe thay all have shitty operating systems. But some of them have an aftermarket OS available. Pick your OS first, then look for a phone that can run it. Here are the ones I know of:
GrapheneOS
CalyxOS (on hiatus)
Crdriod
LineageOS
How do you get this? My company has the Enterprise version, but when they forced me to switch to a new Windows 11 laptop (same model and specs as my old one which couldn’t be upgraded to Windows 11 for some reason), it came with all the crap in the article. Ads in the start menu and everything.
Probably order a Digikey catalog. Do they still make printed catalogs? No idea. Then I’d download as many Kicad libraries as I could find.
I’d scrape, as best I can, the online stores of anywhere I’d expect to need to buy from. Hopefully they’ll set up phone lines to order through.
I’d download as many Steam games as I could fit, starting with the smallest. I have a bunch that I got from sales for like a dollar, and haven’t played yet. I’d probably try to organize LAN parties for Factorio, Total Warhammer, Phasmophobia, and 7 Days to Die. I’d get a crack for Steam, to let me play all my games offline. I know it has an offline mode, but sometimes it doesn’t work, and asks you to sign in, so I’d have the crack ready in case offline mode stopped working.
I’d download full disc sets of Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Fedora (which I’ve never run, but maybe I’d try). The full sets, the ones with every single package, so I could install any package I wanted without Internet access.
I’d find a local Linux users group, so I could bring my questions there instead of web searching. And help others with their questions when they can’t web search either.
I’d find books and videos to watch, by going to torrent sites and sorting by seeders.
