Maybe they are planning to take back that spectrum they gave to Boost/Dish on a pinky-promise that they’d actually become a competitive network, during the Sprint and T-Mobile antitrust case.

Which would fit with the FCC’s increasingly mob-like behaviour under Trump.

It doesn’t help that the gains have been smaller, and the prices higher.

I’ve got a RX 6800 I bought in 2020, and nothing but the 5090 is a significant upgrade, and I’m sure as fuck not paying that kind of money for a video card.

I’ve seen less whining about downvotes, “you can’t say x on y subreddit” meta comments, and general persecution fetish stuff. Probably just due to less people, but it’s still a relief not to have to see it constantly.

They are violating the GPL by not including source code for their modifications. I’m not sure about using the word “stolen” in this context though, but I suppose language evolves.

A dick move in any case.

Everyone’s life is different. Some people spend more time working but have more opportunities for breaks, and others have shorter hours but more a clearly delineated work-life separation where they must be working through the whole period. There are people with a large amount of responsibilities outside of work, and others that have little to none.

Anyway, it’s not true for all but many people do have the time they just choose to spend it on other types of entertainment. Sometimes consciously, other times because TV and social media are the path of least resistance, even if it’s less satisfying.

My suggestion is to consider a Steam Deck and use the suspend function readily. You might not have hours to play, but maybe you can pick up 15 minutes here and there, which is more satisfying then you might think.

I run it even on a Steam Deck since there is a bit more flexibility to customise and it fixed some audio bugs I had with SteamOS (might have been fixed by now).

Smart is fine if and only if:

• Not the only way to interact with the device
• Supports open, local-only protocols like Zigbee or Matter

It’s just saying it’s not supported, not that it doesn’t work. Depending on your country, I doubt that warranty voiding claim is enforceable either.

Also, if you get one of their units that has an ARM chip inside instead of an intel one, there is basically no chance you’re ever going to be able to use anything other than the software that they have by default.

Their x86 models are fine as you imply, just avoid ARM and you can install any OS you want.

I use it for my self hosted apps, but yeah, it’s rarely useful for websites in the wild.

Not to mention decades of older content, and nobody could have possibly played everything good that has ever been released.

You could recommend droidify which is a bit more straightforward as a client.

It’s not always takedowns either, just the developer deciding to nuke their own repos. Real annoying, although it’s making me more vigilant about forking/mirroring important repos.

China aren’t really known for dirt cheap labour anymore because they are mostly doing what the West is doing, which is offloading their labour to even poorer countries in South-East Asia and other developing countries.

Which doesn’t really change the equation overall, of course.

Prices starting at 2000 USD, even with the legalised child labour that red states are pushing for.

It differs by Western country at least as well. Australian Gen Z men for instance are shifting left, just not as quickly as women.

To be honest, the whole narrative about Gen Z is overly focused on men, and the seismic shift of Gen Z women to the left should not be ignored. But belittling and undermining the views of young women is certainly not a new thing.

I watched it for a while, but it just got stupider and stupider with every season. It’s a very American show, and it feels like conservative pandering much of the time (even though the show runner isn’t a conservative from what I hear).

It’s mainly Linux Unplugged where that stuff leaks into it. I haven’t heard it on “self hosted” very much.

Yes, but only for 2.4 ghz since I live in a small apartment and there’s no benefit to high transmit power in those cases. 5 ghz is another story since it doesn’t penetrate walls easily anyway, so no harm to others.

• Poor infrastructure in many of these communities, and no way to get to larger towns and cities without a car. So you’re stuck with crappy chain stores and terrible quality food, harming your health. And it’s boring, because it can’t support many kinds of entertainment.

• Smaller communities tend to skew towards conservatives, and there’s little way to escape from it (due to the distances and the lack of high speed rail). So expect more religiosity, more discrimination, and politicians that are even shittier than the average.
