An Important Hypothetical - What Android Apps Do You Install?? (sh.itjust.works)

You’re twelve years old on Thanksgiving at six thirty in the morning. You’ll be leaving for Grandma’s in about a half hour, and she’s lives a three hour drive away, going in one direction. You have nothing to prepare yourself on this journey, other than a tablet running Android Eleven. Beware, the speaker is broken and...

BearOfaTime,

Guess someone’s gonna be countin’ telephone poles along the way!

(Like I did when I forgot to bring a book or a travel game.)

Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

Tack “&udm=14” on to the end of a normal search, and you’ll be booted into the clean 10 blue links interface. While Google might not let you set this as a default, if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.

BearOfaTime,

“Devil’s Elevator” hahahaha, have an upvote

BearOfaTime,

“Trump regime with more authoritarian-style controls”

Has sheen been asleep for the last 4 years?

I guess destroying 40% of black-owned businesses in addition to shut g down all sorts of things without actual authority isn’t authoritarianism?

The irony of these pejoratives constantly being lobbed at Conservatives while leftists are actually currently doing these things would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous.

BearOfaTime,

Pixel with Lineage, DivestOS or Graphene is stable, faster than stock, better battery life.

And each one has ways to run Google apps if you want, DivestOS and Graphene in particular have methods to isolate Google apps to their own profile.

BearOfaTime,

DivestOS - it’s a Lineage fork, somewhere between Lineage and Graphene. You can relock the bootloader.

I like they’ve replaced webview with Mull, and how the system updater just works.

I forget what else is different from Lineage.

BearOfaTime,

Give ReThinkDNS a try.

I’ve used AFWall for years, it’s great as a UI for IP Tables, but it doesn’t have DNS filtering (naturally).

ReThink adds DNS filtering, so you get both capabilities.

BearOfaTime,

Bummer. Guess no one who’s compiling it has an 8 yet.

I kind of use Lineage and DivestOS rom availability as my guide to my next phone. If they have a tested rom, then I can upgrade.

BearOfaTime,

I would ask the person making the claim to explain why they think so.

Who knows why she thinks this?

Asking here is begging the question.

BearOfaTime,

Will they actually collect this fine? (Serious question, not sure if companies are able finagle their way out with protracted legal cases).

If kit, that’s at least a start on fines, but I’d bet even that much is trivial when their profits are many times that, they’re probably owned by one of the 10 conglomerates that seem to own all food manufacturing, and they likely also use such dines as a wedge to build factories elsewhere.

Not sure what the answer is, but these massive conglomerates need to be broken up, somehow. Maybe individual countries start dis-allowing local manufacturing being owned by external orgs?

BearOfaTime,

Wow.

That’s crazy, since every flight I’ve ever taken (many, I flew for work for a decade), they state this.

They sometimes even re-state it during the flight.

BearOfaTime,

I’d say it’s a failure of the people to listen or pay attention.

They say this every flight, sometimes mid-flight when they know they’re approaching turbulence.

BearOfaTime,

These things aren’t a requirement, they’re optional. People don’t need to go to a concert.

So by paying these exorbitant prices, they’re sending the message the prices are fine.

I haven’t gone to a concert in decades, for just this reason. Sorry, I’m not rewarding them.

BearOfaTime,

But tickets are optional, it isn’t like food.

Everyone must buy food, one doesn’t need to go to a concert.

So by going to the concert, they’re saying these prices are fine.

BearOfaTime, (edited )

IIRC, it uses NetBEUI/NetBIOS, can’t realistically block it. (You could, but it’s not easy, and there’s little value in doing so).

But it’s not been included in windows since about Vista. But it still works. Just gotta get a version from Win2k.

Edit: I was thinking of Windows Chat.

Edit2: Net Send was replaced by MSG

BearOfaTime,

I haven’t tried it, but Kouchat looks interesting

BearOfaTime,

Paid support is a requirement for business. Tryinto avoid that is Penny-wise, pound-foolish.

When shit goes tits-up, you really need the support resources right now.

Win-win in my book.

BearOfaTime,

Except this is a top customer with tens of thousands of VM’s, walking away.

BearOfaTime,

Bingo.

Where does the next gen of admins come from, if they’re been using Proxmox, etc, to learn on?

All my peers started with VMware years ago because they could get ESXi for free and run it on test boxes, then have the experience to deploy in client sites.

BearOfaTime,

You’re not wrong!

I think Broadcom overplayed it on this one, as this example shows.

Or, they’re playing a game we can’t figure out. A 20,000 VM client is in the “large customers we want to keep” category.
