They shouldn't be locked at all. If the phone is included with the contract, it probably requires you to pay it off if you cancel early anyways.

When the hard drive got full. Luckily, hard drives keep getting bigger and bigger.

The orange indicating gel is less toxic, but it's still not good for you. Don't dry any indicating silica gel in the same oven you use for food. The clear silica gel is non toxic, but breathing the dust can cause silicosis.

I would return that shit immediately. There is absolutely no use for smart functionality in a computer monitor. I would suspect it's a TV sold as a monitor and will have the same issues as using a TV as a monitor.

It was buggy and crashed a lot, but at least there was no telemetry.

You can get a VPN or seedbox to avoid those letters. They are a lot cheaper than a single streaming service.

Yandex is extremely useful for finding obscure stuff that doesn't show up on the usual torrent sites.

There is a Firefox addon called ClearURLs that automatically removes all of the tracking crap. It works on PC and Android.

That's the same way it works on the fediverse. You post something publicly and anyone can see it regardless of whether you block them or not.

For that price you can get a decent surround sound system. Sound bars don't sound much better than the speakers built into the TV.

Commercial displays usually don't have a very good picture quality. They are intended to be used as signs and are optimized for brightness.

A good projector is definitely the way to go if you have the room for one.

Pellet printing is usually used in larger printers. You can get much higher flow rates and the pellets are cheaper than filament. That's good when your build volume is measured in cubic meters and you are using many kilograms of plastic in one print.

For 3D modeling, you can get a 3D mouse such as the SpaceMouse.

There are ARM CPUs for servers and cloud computing. Of course X86 CPUs are far more common, at least for now.

There are ways to translate IPv6 to IPv4 so users can still access legacy sites.

Does your windows machine have WSL? I would just write a bash script that would DD the image to the drives. Keep in mind that you will be severely bandwidth limited by the USB interface, so it will take a long time. All of the ports on the controller share the same bandwidth. Ideally you would build a PC with lots of USB controller cards for that.

The International Space Station was transmitting slow scan TV pictures last week. You can receive them with a handheld radio and the stock antenna on the high elevation passes, but a handheld yagi antenna works much better.

I will still use it for testing things, but I will no longer use it for installing the OS on a PC I'm going to use until they get the BLOB issue sorted out.

That would be my suggestion. They only take a single slot and some are even passively cooled.

Link files will show the .lnk extension on Linux and it should be obvious from the icon that it's not a video file. If you have wine installed, then double clicking one will run it and malware can still cause problems when run in wine.

If your torrent client has the option to run a script or command when a download completes, you could have it delete all .lnk files in the download directory. Something like find /path/to/my/download/directory -type f -iname "*.lnk" -delete would work.
