Centurylink added a fun one for me, a building relocation fee, I shit you not.
They mailed me paperwork stating how they need to charge an extra fee for when roads expand or move, and they have to relocate a building. So instead of just setting aside some of their profit for the few times they’ll need to move a fucking building, now I get to specifically pay for this occurrence.
Agreeing with you here, they probably had the last line there to save themselves money, as historically tech items lose value over time, so if you bought an ssd for $200, and 6 months later needed to be replaced or refunded, historically they can realistically offer you $150, as that would traditionally be the new market value after 6 months, but in today’s timeline, now its apparently worth $900 and they probably don’t want to pay that.

I feel like travel and food shows fit this nicely. Very entertaining, bit also very educational about other areas, cultures, histories, foods, traditions, etc.
I haven’t watched too much content like this, but “Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown” really got me hooked for a while, he did a great job with that show. And I feel like we need more knowledge and understanding about other cultures, now more than ever.

Actually, I don’t remember which one I watched No Reservations, or Parts Unknown, both seem good though.
I usually check ebay when i need electronics batteries, but you have a chance of a seller selling knock off batteries that as you said, could be sketchy. I’ve personally never had an issue, but YMMV.
I do wonder if they’re trolling, because their attitude could apply equally to the person behind them on a flight.
“My comfort shouldn’t be impeded because it might inconvenience the person in front of me.”
PSA for anyone using a laptop during flights, the tray tables do not change angle or height when the person in front of you puts their seat all the way back. I almost had someone break my laptop screen a few years ago because the top of my screen got caught under the exposed edges where my tray table would fold up into, as the seat back came angling down towards my tray table. I was quick enough to be able to pull my laptop towards me and remove the screen before the full force was applied to the screen housing.
Right wing propaganda is why they think they’re banned. I replaced some bulbs with LEDs a few years ago and someone I knew, their right wing father wanted to keep all my old bulbs, because they were convinced it would be impossible to buy them again so he was just hoarding as many as he could, because “the LED ones are designed to fail, and the incandescent style are banned.”
I noticed it’s an AI assistant you’re supposed to be problem solving with, that probably will not end well. Hopefully you can actually get a human from their customer support number on their site:

Who knows if this is true because I don’t have the expertise to understand if it is or not, but supposedly the explanation given by the GrapheneOS team is that the pixel phones were the only phones that had the hardware security strong enough to provide the security model GrapheneOS wanted.
Well, whatever this… Is… I’ll still offer maybe try gnome-mobile if you can, and see if thats any better on the touch interface. Also, check out flatpaks for apps, as there’s a decent amount of them that support responsive design, so they at least scale in tablets and phones.
There’s also a gnome extension that can manually rotate the screen instead of relying on the sensors.
I’ve been messing around with postmarketOS and gnome-mobile, flatpak apps, and waydroid for android apps, are the 3 things that make it sorts usable. Now if only we could get VoLTE, working cameras, and bluetooth passthrough to waydroid container, that would make me a very happy linux fan.
I’ve been messing around with gnome-mobile on postmarketos and I like that quite a bit. I’m not sure how it scales and works with tablets as I was using it on a phone, but if you’re looking for an android like interface experience (no touchscreen as a mouse), gnome-mobile was nice.
What is VB in this context, virtualbox?
I’m confused by this comment, (and the up votes) OpenSnitch is the fully open source application. It even says so in the article.
“If I ever needed to track down which specific application is making suspicious outbound connections, I would turn to OpenSnitch, the fully open-source, community-driven application firewall for Linux. It is not as polished as the new Little Snitch port, but every line of its code is open for inspection and it does not ask for blind trust.”
Is calling voLTE audio working yet? I have the OP6T and have postmarketos edge installed but last time I updated it a few weeks ago voLTE still wasn’t working with audio in the calls. My last hold out to start using it as a daily driver.
I think if you reframe the action, it’ll make more sense why people are upset about this.
The way you see it: Some idiots created a new law, this guy was just compying with an unenforceable law, and its unenforceable, so why are people even bothering to get upset. They’re not even using hardware assetation to force this yet. He was just doing his job to follow the law to get this software deployed.
If you reframe it to this, I think it’ll make more sense:
Some idiots created a new unenforceable law. Did anyone from the government specifically reach out to this software team and demand they add this field? Did the software in any way get blocked from being deployed? Its unenforceable, why even bother voluntarily adding features no one wants, for an unenforceable law? They’re not even using hardware assetation yet to force this. Why make the lives easier for people who want to ruin things, by voluntarily adding these features without even being demanded to?
That’s awesome! Can you describe your set up for vibe coding this? I’d like to take a look at porting postmarketOS linux, or ubports to some phones I have laying around.

Wellllllll,
I’ve upgraded the same installation from ubuntu 16.04-24.04 but there was a problem with DNS at one point that I had to fix somewhere between the upgrades, but now I can’t remember if the problem was with LTS version or not. I jumped off at one point and upgraded to one of the non-LTS versions, then went back to LTS after having some problems with package versions, installing some software.
My workflow now has my machine connected to my displays 24/7, but years ago I had a workflow where I would take my work machine home with me and bring it back in the morning and connect it to a dock. I got so fed up with all the windows piling into the ‘main’ monitor and not remembering their locations, that I wrote a script using some tool I can’t remember now, that i’d set to a shortcut key, and it would throw the currently in focus window to the opposite monitor. Made it really fast to get to my working state where I wanted stuff. It wouldn’t work today because it was exploiting features of the X window system, so I doubt it would work in Wayland.
I understand this, but now they get to double dip, have a high price, AND charge more. Instead of having all the pricing roled into the final price, they get to say $65/m *
They also get to invent new situations to charge you for. Instead of just, “our service costs this much” they now get to add additional things like:
Who knows if they ever actually have to relocate a building like they told me. I’d like to see some figures in how often that actually happens, and how much it costs them as a company.
