Whisper worked for me. I'll have to go back through and tag speakers and fox a few spots but you guys have saved me 80-90% of the work. Thank you.

Transcription of numerous voice mails and phone calls for a legal matter. Would like to supply transcripts with the audio files so we don't have to pay as much time for the lawyer's paralegals to review and decide what is actually going to be useful.

From the sound of it, we're well along the road to better Linux gaming. You have to pay attention to a few things like distro choice, setting up software like wine, and certain tweaks and adjustments, but my understanding is that you can play a lot of good games on GNU/Linux now! If Windows Recall can't be disabled, I may be diving into Steam, Proton, etc. all over again as I ditch Windows for the last thing I use it for.

You save it for last, but I think your last point should not be overlooked. Linux's recent successes have been augmented by Windows recent missteps and failures. Considering how bad those are, I think we should credit at least a portion of Linux's use to Microsoft's inadequacy in customization and/overreach in privacy.

Agree with you that gov and education should really be using open source software and hardware. Having said that, a normie friendly UI is what killed android and windows for me. Gnome does a good job being easy to use but I prefer KDE because I want configurability more than out of the box simplicity. I do agree with you though that having hardware paired with Linux software like System76 does would increase adoption. Just don't take away my ability to configure things how I like them.

The gov and higher education should be forced to use open source software. I would absolutely support that.

Teams isn't a loss, but MS are scumbag greifers for messing with my Minecraft.

This is also the reason why typing on the TV is so bad and the remote has a huge microphone button on it.

Might tie in with what people were thinking about the wireless charging coils.

The only thing that sounds sketchier than an Amazon drug marketplace is a Temu drug marketplace.

I think this is the most likely theory yet. I don't install loyalty apps, but if my phone gets the signal and tries to access something that isn't there because the devs ripped it out that could explain the instability. It would also make me like the devs more as I don't want to relieve advertising or be tracked. :-)

Let me see what I can figure out.

I am running CrDroid Android 14 for a Oneplus 9. Just like the other link I found, mine happened at a Albertsons/Safeway grocery store. Someone posted something about Bluetooth beacons above. I'm going to pursue that as it sounds like a reasonable guess.

Definitely running root adblock, but no loyalty apps. I'm curious how that would result in a reboot, but you absolutely pegged the type of user I am. :-)

Agreed, network is and was my #1 suspicion. My paranoid mind immediately assumed they have some kind of advanced customer profiling that pings your phone to see where you are in the store and build a profile and attach it to your loyalty card if one exists. I recognize that Occam's Razor doesn't support this theory, at least not until I rule out a lot of other things.

I will add that it happened both near the pharmacy and in the complete opposite corner of the store. It still happened with WiFi and BT off, even after reboot, so that would leave mobile data (multiple generations), NFC, and wireless charging. I will have to toggle through all of these the next time I go shopping.

The last time it happened, I turned off WiFi and BT as well as doing a reboot and it still happened.

I will go and try turning off cell connectivity and if that works, I'll cycle through 2g/3g/4g/5g and see if it happens with all of them.

My phone scans for networks, but does not automatically join.

I will check on the cell signal aspect of it. The store is walking distance of my home, but the building materials at the store could deteriorate the signal quality worse than being in a timber frame home.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Found a very similar report, but I'm on TMobile, not FI: https://support.google.com/fi/thread/98016588/my-supermarket-reboots-my-phone?hl=en

Hi, yes, I believe its just the UI, it's not taking nearly the amount of time as a full reboot. I haven't had a lot of luck capturing meaningful logs on Android but I'll read up on what logs I can grab. I seem to remember something like "KMESC kernal this or that" that I had to read when troubleshooting an old tablet, but I'm in a bit over my head which means a lot of reading to learn more about Android.

I am not connected to the WiFi, nor do I have the store's app installed, my garmin watch is connected, but it is always connected.

I like that terminology. I use some very high quality, high visibility FOSS software and sometimes feel bad that I more frequently donate to smaller projects that bring me value by filling a specific want or need that no one else is working on.

Fuck with the internet and millions of nerds with billions of hours of Call of Duty playtime will be very upset with you. I would not want to be on the other end of that rage.

Love the sketch and the picture. Us Germans call them "wimmelbilder" and they tend to be super colorful, high detail, picyures for kids (and adults) to stare at and find more and more stuff. The R site had a community dedicated to them that was pretty cool. Would love to see one here.

In my opinion, one of the strengths of your design is the contrast of old and new. The skatepark makes me think of Burnside in Portland
