They don't need completely bare-bones setup. Sweet spot for non-geeks is installing play services, which can be used without signing into an account and by default have invasive permissions revoked. Then installing playstore apps from aurora store.
Kids with phones are alright. Attention economy of social media is not. As did tabaco companies, they (soc. media tech giants) push proposals to regulate phone use based on age in hopes that the their information asymmetry advantage and addictive dark patterns that are the problem in the first place won't be regulated and they can keep exploiting the public held in their trap by network effect.
https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ has a better way to sort by country and political party so you can see who woted for what. It is painful to see politicians I voted for supporting this, even after I have sent them a few emails. Honestly, based on the results from my country, in the upcomming euro-elections, I am seriously considering voting alt-right.
That's great but I want to be able to share such app with my family members coleagues
We finally live in an age when I can tell a clanker that I want an app that does something that I need, connect the phone with adb and in half an hour have a working solution for my tiny problem while knowing little about android development. This is something google should embrace, not kneecap.
The original link to github was posted here a few days ago [0] but received no attention perhaps due to dull title. I find too funny to let it at that so here is a hackaday blogpost with a slightly catchier title. Sorry for breaking the rules slightly for the sake of entertainment :) There is also a video [1]
Or not implement it at all...
I use usb-c dac and it is honestly fine. you can get one with charging bypass and keep that one with the charger
That's charitable, but even then you probably want to avoid fingerprinting...
That made me avoid it for a long time but there hasn't been more concerning behavior since, so some point, we can move on.
I think using tor in brave just makes you stand out more - stock tor browser is probably a better setup. Whonix even better.
This is so absurd... I have to keep an old (rooted in order to hide that adb is enabled) phone connected to my home server just to use such app, because grapheneos without google services is apparently not secure enough.
Brave origin on linux looks pretty solid now. Now I'm using that and Librewolf.
You have to balance the this ease of use with increasing potential attack and fingerprinting surface. Correct approach is something in the middle - a separate off-by-default setting or recommended official extension.
just secure your networks bro
Reflowing smd paste inside print won't work reliably as the solder will tend to form blobs instead of keeping the track shape
I wouldn't call codex considerably better. It may depend on specific codebase and your expectations, but codex produces more "abstraction for the sake of abstraction" even on simple tasks, while opus in my experience usually chooses right level of abstraction for given task.
Yes and given that keyboard replacement is really common repair (probably most common repair on butterfly models but still quite common now), the ease of repair is extremely disproportional. In case of OP's Macbook Pro: the rivets, the number of screws, the need to disassemble everything, even having to lift the glued in battery - all just to get to the keyboard.
You can use tiny drill to drill off the rivets - much less violent. I covered everything in paper / masking tape to be able to vacuum off the metal shavings and used small dremmel like electric drill with chinese used re-sharpened pcb drillbit.
The bar should be higher than "Better than glue". While repair is possible, the number of screws with many different screw types still make it needlessly time consuming / expensive.
The laptop is deffinitely designed in a way that the keyboard is extremely hard to replace. Took me like 5 hours across 2 days. Rivets are not even the worst part, I used tiny drill and carefully glued in the replacement keyboard using phone screen glue (B7000) between the keys. (glue needs to go both on the frame and on the keyboard as there is a gap that needs to be bridged) Since there are screws along 3 of its edges, I deemed it good enough. drilling and tapping or riveting would have been extra painful.
What makes the repair more complicated is that 1) you need to take out basically everything to get to the keyboard. There are many different screws, luckily ifixit has a disassembly guides with their sizes. Still it was a bit painful to reassemble. 2) One of the things you need to take out or at least lift is the glued in battery - this took a lot of careful prying with thin plastic sheet and dousing it in ipa. 3) backlight is glued on to the case in an extremely fragile way, so it needs to be replaced with the keyboard or will probably look uneven after repair. (i reused the old one as I don't mind it but still, it could just have been glued to the keyboard itself and it would be easier to repair.
it's even more tightly bound than just being soldered on
No. There is a reason for it but no, it's just soldered on the same carrier board as the APU, in order to be really close to it. Apple could have used a form factor like CAMM2 and it would have worked the same, be it at slightly higher cost. The reason is simply to kill upgrade options and cut manufacturing costs - same as for any other soldered ram.
Try with headers and footers turned off
Luckily the models were built on copyrighted materials so hopefully the big players won't have strong legal standing to kill off model destilling. Then, with models like current deepseek or kimi k2.5, you are perhapy 1/2 years behind in their capabilities at the fraction of the cost. For real inference costs, look at prices on openrouter. For hobby, I wasn't able to burn trough more than $5 in a month.
So what? Grandma's paying taxes there.
Real solution is to loosen regulations on private schools and provide equivalent tax return to parents who choose private over public.
That's a weird bug. For me it always works almost instantly with the exception of long exposures where it sometimes takes 2x the exposure time.
Did you switch to Camera2 API in settings>Camera Api ?
instagram and the like are uniquely and disastrously harmful
-to both adults and children. What kind of worked for cigarettes was the huge tax so why not create a "mental health tax" based on the number of users x some addictiveness score and let meta either fix instagram, pay their users a therapy or pass the cost to them.
Instead this "protecting children" by giving them "degraded" experience will only motivate them to bypass the age verification and destroy the statistical evidence of the harm those platforms cause.
Yes, seems like they got it down to ~2 weeks, goo! Good to know, that should be on par with Lineageos.
When I looked into it, /e/ constantly used to be many months late with security updates. LineageOS for microg and iodé were much quicker (~ 1 month max which is still not that great).
I hope that in they choose the same camera sensors pixels use. Hard to beat the processing gcam can do.
