Yeah I would also like a crystal ball here. I am somewhat interested in the 10 if I can run GrapheneOS. Otherwise I'm going to explore other custom ROMs with broader device support.
This is what boggles the mind for me. He has this miniscule unknowable opportunity to get the door open, and jump from the plane at just the right time.
He had to hit the sweetspot combo of low altitude and airspeed that doesn't cause him to die upon hitting the ground, but results in him being far enough from the blast of the aircraft itself impacting the ground. Its gotta be a fraction of a second window of time. He is literally one of the luckiest people in aviation accident history.
I am running GOS on a Pixel 7, which means I've had this device for ~2.5 years at this point, and back when I transitioned to this setup I was aware they were talking about being beholden to Pixels due to the hardware security module not being available on other devices.
It has been a known issue. I understand it is a very difficult and costly undertaking to develop new hardware and new entrants would be competing against the big guys for fab space, manufacturing and assembly etc.
We need some kind of nonprofit or independently financed group to advance this cause. Could it be FUTO, Framework, or some other company/organization like this?
There would be market incentive to solve these problems - There has got to be a lot of demand for a neutral hardware platform that meets the hardware security module and other requirements for bootloader security, custom ROMs, etc.
They won't ever say it out loud but they have always removed videos for mentioning alternative frontends or other technology they view as direct threats to their revenue stream.
No, it is Meta and these companies fault, but I focus on things I can actually control. Just spewing the party line default Lemmy opinion of "capitalism is the problem, blah" doesn't do anything to solve the problem.
Educating people so they understand how the surveillance works, and explaining that there are alternatives, actually gets us closer to a solution.
Its reliant on running a normie phone and OS, and running the native FB, instagram, or other apps in the Meta constellation. These apps create persistent services that internally backchannel sensitive browser data back to them via internal ports. All browser traffic on devices running these apps should be considered compromised.
The solution is to run Graphene or other de-googled OS and avoid Meta apps like the plague.
Some have theorized the tires disrupt object recognition in aerial imagery analysis (and possibly munitions or drone targeting). Obviously that didn't work here as the targets were already known and visually confirmed.
This is correct. There are several state appeals court cases working through their respective processes. I hope they result in a case that gets all state rifle bans and magazine restrictions invalidated forever, but as usual it takes mere minutes for restrictions to be put in, and decades for them to be judicially removed.
I literally have the reader pictured in the thumbnail. It is a Kindle keyboard from 10+ years ago at this point. It still works fine. At one point the original battery went to shit, and it cost very little to get an aftermarket replacement and install it myself.
I keep it offline and read 100% sideloaded .epub books from various sources. The lockscreen ads don't even try to display anymore.
Sure it isn't backlit or waterproof but it still functions flawlessly as a generic reader. Old tech like this is awesome. Why not get a decade of use (or more) out of something that still works?
Practically not that much, but the point is to inflict huge monetary costs and erode public support among Russians to continue the conflict. So from that perspective this is a pretty good bargaining chip going into further negotiations.
Maybe the question is how do you sanction other malign actors who intend to steal the data. We know China and others do not give a shit about (especially western) IP rights. Not sure if that really justifies us ignoring IP rights.
I dunno if there is a subculture of printing the models at home. I would think resin printers would have more than enough resolution to make good miniatures. Is that frowned upon? There is no reason to buy overpriced licensed shit.
That is literally the most California of the options for this nutballs motivation.
For reference in case anyone isn't familiar - 29 Palms is a small shitty city in the inland area where it is hotter than piss, and dry. There is a Navy and Marine Corps installation there and not much else. If I recall correctly it is considered to be one of the shittiest places to be sent by Marines.
They can read a poll. Gun control is a horrible issue for Democrats. Hogg is precieved as the whiny bitchboy on the wrong side of a single-issue voter issue. Ditching him entirely helps their aggregate electoral chances.
The current administration is almost too easy to target, so why distract the public by trotting out bad/losing personalities?
They already do it in Podcasts and it is usually extremely ham-fisted. The presenter will be mid sentence talking about something and suddenly IMPROVE YOUR DIET WITH FACTOR
Russia sent the same "token" delegation they sent to talks right after the war started. In case it wasn't already obvious and clear, they aren't negotiating in good faith... They're just stalling.
