There are also a lot of mini PCs that are comparable in price to a Raspberry Pi 5 once you factor in the cost of a case, SD card, and power supply for the Pi.

Make sure you have a font installed that supports emoji such as the Noto emoji font.

The goal is to get away from US tech companies.

I installed some CAT6a years ago so I could upgrade and I’m still on 1G. I should have looked at the power requirements first. The hardware that was affordable at the time used 10 watts per port to run 10G over copper. I should have run fiber too.

What’s the battery life like? High power consumption has been one of the major issues with previous Linux phones.

The main issue is the lack of software support. They keep making each new Android version more bloated so you can’t update more than once or maybe twice. If it wasn’t for that, you could keep using the same 5G phone until they shut down the 5G network as long as the battery is replaceable.

I wish Android was more like Debian where it’s lightweight, uses stable versions of software and runs well on old hardware.

The last movie I watched in a theater was Top Gun Maverick.

USB devices don’t make any noise when you plug them in. I would make it play a smoke alarm low battery beep.

like “only update X when on WiFi”.

Most Linux software only updates when the user tells the package manager to update it.>

How do you accurately characterize your printer though? No two printers will behave exactly the same.

If anyone except you has the private key, then your private messages are not private.

They are still a lot faster than normal SD cards. I’ve never seen any phone that works with SD Express cards, but there were a few that worked with UFS cards.

There haven’t been many good movies lately. It’s been 3 years since there was one good enough for me to watch in a theater. Hollywood has just been producing large volumes of low quality crap lately.

Most of the music I listen to is from the 70’s through the 90’s. I already have just about everything I want to listen to.

An IP camera may stay in use for a decade or more without any firmware updates. You shouldn’t trust any sort of authentication that’s built into the camera to be secure. Keep them on an isolated LAN and only allow access from the server that’s running the DVR software.

There are UFS cards. They aren’t as fast as SD Express cards, but 1200 MB/s is still plenty fast for a phone.

Without researchers like that, someone else would figure it out and use it maliciously without telling anyone. This researcher got Google to close the loophole that the exploit requires before publicly disclosing it.

My main issue is that LLMs are being used to flood the internet with AI slop. Almost every time I search for something, I have to go through a lot of results to find one with any usable information. The SEO spam before AI was bad enough, now it’s significantly worse.

It doesn’t, but running everything through a tunnel to get IPv4 access would. OP wants only the IPv4 traffic to go over a tunnel.

If you want to get fancy, you can get a bass shaker. It’s like a subwoofer, but without the speaker cone. They shake your seat without producing deafeningly loud sound.

The game developers could if they wanted to, but I hope they won’t. I will not willingly install a rootkit on any of my computers. I wouldn’t buy or pirate a game that requires one even if it could run on Linux. I don’t even like running user level anti cheat, but at least that can be run in a sandbox.
