Last time I needed to do this was 2006ish. Like I said it’s been a while. Worth checking into though. Might need the cd burner installed (or emulated) for the option to be available.

I also seem to recall that thee were a couple of projects attempting to strip the DRM off of Apple’s proprietary music format. Not sure how those turned out.

And no, as far as I know, it is not possible to go straight from Apple Music to mp3, or whatever format you prefer. It has to be downloaded to iTunes first.

Not sure if it is still possible, but the work flow for this used to be to use iTunes to burn the tracks or album to a CD and then rip the newly created CD to a format of your choice.

If you don’t have a CD burner, I seem to remember it was possible to emulate a cd burner on Windows and create an iso instead. I don’t remember how I did that though. I was running XP back then and that was a long time ago.

Edit: adding link to iTunes software

Wait, I thought that was Reddit.

Digging into it further it looks like modern phone technology has become incompatible with fax and modem technologies. Seems to be something to do with how voice over IP (VOIP) compresses the voice line which damages any digital signal sent over it. It looks like this affects both cell phones and modern landlines as well.

The only real options in 2024 seem to be to use a fax service, or to purchase a landline that explicitly supports fax and use a fax machine or a computer with a modem to send the fax. A fax service would probably be cheaper for a one off fax. Thanks again for the rabbit hole. That was interesting!

Well that’s a tech I haven’t heard of in a while. I suppose it tracks that if telegrams were still in use till 2006 that fax’s would still be in use today.

To help answer your question, a cursory search turned this up:

Honestly, it should be possible to send faxes from your cell phone for free though. Or from a laptop using your cellphone’s voice line. It’s a phone after all and fax machines sent their data over phone lines. I seem to remember using my cell phone for dial up internet back in the day, so it should have been possible to send faxes at that time as well. Unless there is an OS limitation, I can’t see any reason why that might have changed, even with the changes in tech since then. Hell of a rabbit hole you’ve found for me! Thanks!

A cursory web search suggests your CPU may have been damaged. Can’t say for sure as I don’t know jack about modern hardware. My indepth knowledge basically ends at x86.

I found this while searching the error codes in the photo. Maybe it will be of some help.

It’s not difficult to self host. Pretty light on resources. Documentation on how to do so could use some work though. I believe I used a docker image to get up and running.

The main reason I personally don’t allow public signups on my instance is that US law is rather chaotic. If section 230 gets cancelled or repealed I don’t want to be held responsible for what some random person chose to write. It may not be a big risk at the moment but I don’t have the mental bandwidth to deal with it.

There is no option. There is too much variation in the various phone chips for the hardware hacking community to reverse engineer more than a bare handful. And as soon as the hardware has been reverse engineered, it will never be used again by a manufacturer making the exercise largely pointless.

Add to that, the fact that Qualcomm actively discourages long term support of their chips….

I don't think it started as a proxy war. Russia just decided to be stupid, but at this point it may very well be a proxy war in fact.

It's to pretty much everyone's benefit (except Ukraine's) for this to drag out for a nice long time. The more manpower and material Russia and their allies burns up in this stupidity, the longer the rest of Europe can breath freely. It gives them time to rebuild the armies that they have allowed to atrophy. There's probably more to it and it's callus as fuck, but that's the math I see.

Dynamic IPs were primarily a way to get around a limited pool of IP addresses. That's all. Local IP addresses (think 192.168.x.x) were created for the same reason.

The NAT your home internet modem uses in providing your local network IP does provide a hard firewall between your computer and the internet, but that is more a side effect of the technology than anything else.

To figure that out you'd first have to decide how you want to define "mercenary". Depending on how you define the word, either almost everyone was a mercenary or, if you use the current Geneva Convention definition, almost no one was.

The truth, as usual, is probably somewhere in that murky, uncomfortable middle ground that no one likes to look at or acknowledge.

30 seconds in and I’m checking out. I can already tell it a propaganda piece intended to make me angry. Apparently they think the use of mercenaries in war is new or has somehow exploded in use. Mercs are maybe the 2nd or 3rd oldest profession. Not interested.

That's a site I haven't heard of in a while.

Looks like the last passenger 747-400 was made in 2005. I think I'm willing to give Boeing a pass on this one. I get the feeling that Boeing personnel probably haven't been anywhere near this plane in at least five, maybe ten years.

Indonesian air travel has been notorious for incidents over recent decades. Each of the country’s airlines were banned over E.U. and U.S. airspace in 2007 but were reinstated in 2016 and 2018. Since then, Garuda has joined the SkyTeam airline alliance, which includes North American carriers Delta Air Lines and Aeroméxico.

I think that the Nazis or Japanese did experiments in that vain, but don't quote me on it. They did quite a lot that makes my stomach roil. As to how far they could get, no clue.

Either way, once organs start to be removed, you won't be around for long. Under most circumstances anyways. We do have the ability to sub in machines for failed organs, such as heart, kidneys or lungs, but I don't know of any cases where all of them have been replaced with machines at the same time with the "patient" still awake during.

Full life support tends to be a "Buddy, your fucked!" sort of thing and if you're not already in a coma, they will likely put you in one.

I’ve met and currently work with more than a few folks, who were neither trans or crossdressers, of both genders that would have trouble “passing” as their own gender.

I don’t spend as much time in these states so you’ll have to find code yourself but here’s some interesting summaries:

I always prefer to avoid conflict wherever possible, even if it means not going somewhere I want to go, but it’s always nice to know I have options should things go sideways. Always learn the law in your area. It makes making a profit easier.

The thing that gets me with this is, how is anyone to know?

If you present as the gender on the door, what are they going to do? Rip your pants down and check? Cop a feel? That’s assault. Peep through the stall? Pretty sure that’s a misdemeanor, most places.

I get the idea behind this is terror, but “Fuck off! I’m shitting here!” should be the only response anyone should get to a nosy question in the bathroom.

Depends on what you are trying achieve.

You can send sms via foss no problem as long as you know what carrier the recipient uses. All of the carriers seem to have email bridges to the sms network. Receiving sms is another question entirely. To receive sms, the network needs to know where to send the message. There are commercial platforms that can link you into the sms network.

Another option is KDEConnect which can link your Android device to your computer and you can send and receive sms that way.

Sleeping. Possibly borrito’d into a blanket.

According to the article she was told about the available assistance in that area and refused. Didn’t say why.
