Any video surveillance not controlled by you and you only seems like a bad idea. iRobots products have had privacy problems for years, regardless of whether they're owned by Amazon or not (which they aren't, merger got cancelled). Alexa does cost them money, but I wouldn't use any non-FOSS non-self-hosted smart home system for privacy and security reasons.

Someone who pretends to be cute and wants to talk about finance? Pretty sure they're gonna try to get you to 'invest' in their totally legit trading platform.

There's also qobuz. They have a streaming service, but you can also straight up buy a lot of albums and download them drm free.

I don't think anyone who can install a Rom, or is willing to read a bit of documentation, should buy this.

If your choice is this, or buying some stock Android Phone and using it as is, this might be OK, but you're not getting anything special.

My last phone had 12, my current one has 8. Fine for multitasking. I really dunno what I'd want an LLM on my phone for.

I've used parts from my old PC for my Homeserver. Among other things, it runs Jellyfin. Most of my library can be directly played by most clients, so I need almost no transcoding. Just serving the media uses tiny amounts of ram and compute, and the only bottleneck I could see is a residential Internet connection (I've got symmetrical gigabit, but there's lots of residential gigabit that limits uploads to like 50mpbs).

My last phone lasted 5 years till the display broke. Had to switch the battery once, but nothing else gave out. My current one gets 8 years of updates, and I plan on using it till then, as long as nothing unexpected happens.

Yeah, but that's why I don't think fertility is a good measure of age in any way.

I don't disagree with the numbers, I just don't think they're bound to any one aspect of the human body, nor do they need to be.

Not my experience, but that might depend on the people one interacts with. I'd also say that coupling being young to such a gendered parameter is questionable. When does someone who's biologically male stop being young? What about people who can't reproduce?

I dunno, to be honest. But for me, reproductive changes are a consequence of age, not the other way around. No single factor feels like it in itself is a sensible definition.

That's a really weird definition of young.

They're quoting Bardella directly, which kinda makes sense for the headline, but yeah, I haven't seen any mayor English media sources that are willing to call a cat a cat here.

Might be worried about libel suits? Though I can't see an unbiased court deny that those are Hitler salutes.

No? Kinda? I'd say a Pixel (so Google hardware, yeah) with Graphene, and either self-hosted, or independent end-to-end encrypted cloud storage.

There are alternatives to the tech conglomerates.

There's quite a few TP-Link Models that can be flashed with open source firmware. The ones I helped friends and family with seemed to get software updates consistently after being discontinued.

This isn't an all out endorsement, but I've certainly seen worse.

What did you do with the school bus?

Rather annoying. You would think that it shouldn't make a difference whether or not a mounted drive is present in the machine. I run everything I host in containers on a single machine, so I can't say whether I'd have encountered such issues.

Jellyfin supports audio books too, but I feel that audiobookshelf gives a much neater experience.

Looking through things available in the Internet Archive, I don't think there's a lot of active moderation, to be honest.

Meh, triage. They'll probably cart you into surgery when you start dying.

Looking at my friends who use Instagram, it's basically for stuff that's either too many photos for a single post, so it's made into a themed story, or for stuff you wanna show off, even though it isn't quite good enough for it's own post, so it's on your profile for a bit, but not permanently.
