Interestingly, yours is so much easier to read than theirs.

Are there people who think systemd is a badly implemented stack of Legos, who also think things like snap, flatpak, docker, and Wayland are solid bricks…?

Hey, the last one is great.

Now when I get asked “what do you think about Copilot,” I can just say, “I prefer LibreOffice”

Windows uses them by default for updates (they call it “Delivery Optimization”)

apt-p2p exists, but it’s not installed by default, so is unlikely to have enough peers to be useful

Then you are using a feature phone, or a standard Android/iOS device with their tools preinstalled

If you try to use it with a free operating system, it’s not possible.

Here are the instructions for installing the bridge code on Graphene: https://grapheneos.org/usage#esim-support

From the phone manufacturer, it’s fewer traces and less mechanical design work.

From the carrier side, it requires you to have their spyware installed to register the Sim

From a user perspective, someone can’t just steal your Sim and put it in another phone

That really is how these companies think.

I’ve seen car companies selling $100,000+ cars sweating over whether we use a $0.10 more expensive part that would last 3x longer than the cheaper one

I think it’s common for the antennas to contain both GPS and LTE. I think the fuse would power the whole fin?

On the head unit side, they’re generally separate cables

That’s what most? cars used for a long time (there is also GENIVI)

Many manufacturers are switching to Android as the base OS so they can just hire app developers rather than developers that know other UI toolkits

On most cars, it’s probably easier to unplug it on the head unit side. They’re generally designed to be accessed for repair

Still longer, but at least just use

apt upgrade --update

As a listener, if a band I like is touring within 2 hours of where I live, I go see them live and get a shirt

I hope that’s helping them more than whether I listen to a scraped digital copy or not

The high-res one also removes all the shadows, I assume the upscaling algorithm believed they were blur

What this essentially means is that when the taskbar sits at the bottom, Windows and third-party apps know exactly how much horizontal space they have to work with.

Ah, so I assume they will remove support for any resolutions other than 1920x1080, since they need a consistent horizontal size, and that’s the most common.

On Roku branded TVs, it sounds like that just means you can’t use it for anything

If it doesn’t connect, it won’t let you switch inputs or anything until you connect your account

I’m sure all the Tesla apologist that kept saying “it only has to be safer than a human” whenever we pointed out how poorly the Tesla self-driving system works will change their tune now.

… Right?

Some of the lidar based systems might work eventually, but Musk’s “humans only have eyes, so we only need cameras” is unlikely to ever work

I put the curl command to update my duckdns IP in cron about 13 years ago, and have never needed to touch it once.

It’s just worked for me

If it makes you feel better (read worse) my company buys around 500,000 chips a year, and we’re still effectively in the same support tier as an individual user.

I’ve pushed for chips with upstream Linux kernel support, even though they’re more expensive, because it’s so bad with proprietary software

apt-get isn’t deprecated…

If you run apt search x | grep y, you’ll even get a warning against using apt in scripts

apt-get isn’t going away, apt is just a nicer frontend for interactive use
