Windows 11 users reportedly losing data due to Microsoft's forcedWindows 11 users reportedly losing data due to Microsoft's forced BitLocker encryption
Isn't /64 like the minimum for certain applications anyway?
Unfortunately, I am behind CG-NAT, so it always barely uploads anything.
I wish it could work like WebRTC or Tailscale. There could just be servers like the trackers, but to help establish this direct connection between peers.
Is there something that has to be done first (like Windows generalization)?
They are newbies, for now.
I have had a Linux Mint USB (installed, not live) with me since middle school. Not the same one, of course, that was USB 2.0.
SanDisk CruzerBlade seems to work pretty well. On the other hand, a Panasonic flash drive I have is absolute shit for random access. Booting up install from it will take ages and then it will freeze up all the time.
External SSD would be best, but it's not worth it for occasional use.
I was surprised that BlissOS (fork of Android x86) worked just fine with my bank's app. But it still refuses to work when running it in VirtualBox. It has to be booted directly on the hardware.
Our experiences seem to differ. I currently have L390 Yoga and it's the best thing I ever used. The cooling isn't bad, just the feet are too thin to allow for flipping the screen over. Any cooling pad, or in my case an egg carton fixes this.
Mine has i5-8365U (4.1GHz).
The Ethernet is pretty stupid, but I've got the dongle from AliExpress for โฌ9.31 and it's working fine.
I really love the touchscreen in combination with Arch, KDE Plasma and Wayland. It also has pretty great colors, but I am coming from TN, so the bar was laying on the ground.
Driver-wise, everything works OOB on Arch (at least since September 2024 which is when I got it).
Really, I only have 2 problems with it:
- The proprietary "Ethernet"
- USB-C doesn't allow charging from C to A cable despite supporting 5V@2.1A charging from any proper USB-C.
I've got a cheap refurbished ThinkPad L390 Yoga. (โฌ180) It's plenty powerful and the touchscreen is awesome with KDE Plasma (but only with Wayland - X11 is not built for touchscreens, it only does mouse emulation).
Yeah, look at Facebook when there's news about some 13+ male kid who got raped by a woman. You'll get grown men saying how "lucky" that kid was, and that they wish the same had happened to them at his age.
But hey, other way around it's also often shit like "look at her clothes, she was asking for it, can't be surprised".
Where are those? There isn't much on the main page.
When I used Manjaro, there were threads for each major update. Known issues, known issues from past updates (if you didn't get those yet), poll to see the update quality and a discussion thread.
E.g. the most recent one: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/stable-update-2025-04-12-kernels-plasma-systemd-mesa-grub-wine/176877

It could rather be more accurate in a dense area thanks to more cell towers. And it seems mmWave 5G can get below 1 meter in accuracy.

A cheap dumbphone could come in handy at almost any age* (calls, short SMS, especially in emergency situations). Though there is a possibility they wouldn't want to be seen with that. Kids will bully each other for whatever isn't a norm.
Anyway, preferably a simpler one. I used to spend hours each day on Java games. Really, the only thing that stopped me was headaches.
Almost any - you don't want a 3 year old calling 911 for fun
Often has cam videos too, which are recorded from theaters before being released outside. The quality is not necessarily as bad as it sounds.
For the case of better quality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telesync
While the other end of the spectrum may be a shaky smartphone footage.
Functional ones. Like this case for an RSP1 clone that used to be sold on AliExpress: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5507066
Might be good idea to tape it over with aluminum tape for shielding.
Or this for a Ulefone uSmart adapter to make it into a USB-C: https://www.printables.com/model/493211-ulefone-usmart-usb-c-adaptor
This connector is basically just pins from USB-C, but in a way that can only be used with their own accessories. Honestly this should be sold by them. I'd be willing to buy it even if it was like โฌ15 (just better quality than a 3D print, of course).
I use a laptop, so I iust put it to sleep. I only restart it when I do updates or when the system crashes. I also turn it off (when I remember to do so...) if I leave it unattended in untrustworthy environment due to encryption.
I also have a mini PC, but I only turn it on when needed, which isn't often since I haven't really figured out what to use it for. It's running Linux Mint headless, because Mint fits my laziness. I can use it via Tailscale, but I don't really know what to do with it. So far it's been mostly useful with OpenWebRX, SDR++ server which also offers compression unlike RTL_TCP as well as being able to use any SDR++ supported SDR, and I also intended to use Navidrome on it as well. My intention was to just download full albums on there, rather than picking out individual songs, but I still have the urge to put all of it on my phone.
Well, probably my mistake calling it a plan, but it seems all of them are subscriptions at least. Even "pay as you go" cards I found have monthly payments.
It seems the cheapest was T-Mobile PayGo, but that got sold to Ultra Mobile. I don't know what they offer though because there's an infinite captcha on their website for me. But from Google preview it seems they still offer the $3/month PayGo.
Well, I did. And I am in one. Most teachers don't care about it. Technically the current principal banned them, but only one teacher told us, and it was a pretty sarcastic "I am supposed to tell you that you aren't allowed to use phones during classes anymore."
Anyway, they got partially integrated. There's an online school system we are supposed to use, and teachers often send us study materials there, including during classes. At one point we even took online exams (physically at school) and most used phones for that too (I prefer a desktop if I can use that).
Basically it became an expectation. "Look this up, take a picture of this, open what I sent you, send me this, confirm that,..."
But yeah, anyway, most exams are probably AI-written nowadays. This is known, and not particularly discouraged. Well, one teacher even told us we'll be given computers with internet access on (part of the) graduation exams, and shown us how we can just copy-paste it to and from ChatGPT. And that was true.
But hey, we also often have classes of absolutely nothing that you just have to wait out.
The level of Slovakian education is setting the bar so low it clipped through the ground.
Already included.
- SMS and classic calls are dying. Things moved to Discord, Instagram, Snapchat, or whatever else for the most part
- Burner SIM, or better yet, burner eSIM. Maybe VoIP would suffice.
And the original SIM could still be used in some cheap older phone.
Although it seems everything in the US is a plan, meaning monthly payments. But perhaps I haven't looked far enough.
