My Xperia z3c from 2014 would be perfectly fine to use right now if Google didn’t absolutely bloat the crap out of their products and it had an easily replaceable battery. If companies would just support their products for longer or release the sources when it’s out of support i probably would have skipped several phone upgrades. But that’s probably exactly why they don’t.

Yeah, that’s what they said, 20 years or so ago

Sure you could. But I’ll offer a different perspective

All honey tastes different from different producers and areas, you’ll be missing out on some wonderful honey flavors if you buy that much in bulk. If it’s purely for sweetening, sure fine, do it. But if you want the flavor of honey, check out a farmers market and see what you’d be missing out on with bulk.

I want to know how much I have to work.

To neurotypicals this sounds like you don’t want to put in the work. A better way to phrase it would be “I’m just trying to see how busy today will be” you can follow it with bullshit like “trying to decide if I’ll be cooking dinner or picking something up on my way home”

Bezos having a say in what news you read or don’t read benefits him quite a bit.

I’ve found that if it’s set up right, it works well for announcements and short discussions around that. But as far as support, it’s absolute trash. It’s nice for slightly quicker communication on updates than than updating a website, and I’ll see all the backlash from users saying “this update broke everything you idiots”, so I know to wait.

This isn’t the same thing, but it certainly looks like it might gave the same function

I’m using an asus e200ha, which is basically a Chromebook from 2016 but without chromeos, or whatever it’s called. It barely works, has 32 gb of emmc storage (that’s right, as much storage as mid-tier computers have RAM). I’ve been ready for an upgrade for years.

What’s wild, is it’s actually been getting steadily faster and more useful as it gets older, because all the issues it had in it’s younger years are all getting fixed in the Linux kernel.

Did you do the nextcloudpi install?

My biggest gripe about non replaceable components is the chance that they’ll fail. I’ve had pretty much every component die on me at some point. If it’s replaceable it’s fine because you just get a new component, but if it isn’t you now have an expensive brick.

I will admit that I haven’t had anything fail recently like in the past, I have a feeling the capacitor plague of the early 2000s influenced my opinion on replaceable parts.

I also don’t fall in the category of people that need soldered components in order to meet their demands, I’m happy with raspberry pis and used business PCs.

Wut?

…Said the snowflake

Yeah I don’t understand any of these words.

Ok, maybe you specifically shouldn’t make your own, but somebody else who knows this things could.

Slight correction, Lora is shared with amateur bands, but the transmission power is low enough that it’s within unlicensed limits.

Also, they can actually transmit quite far, they just can’t penetrate well. A mountaintop node can communicate to the horizon, but inside a house at desk height it can struggle to reach a half mile.

It’s not illegal to use encryption if your transmission is below 1 watt, such as normal Wi-Fi. If you want to use more power, then you need to get a license and your traffic can’t be encrypted. Licensed amateurs can use orders of magnitude more power and cover areas city wide, rather than barely within the confines of a home.

Amateur radio shares the Wi-Fi frequencies. Amateur radio is allowed to use more power than your Wi-Fi router. So to use more power, you must be licensed and no encryption allowed.

It’s at the bottom of that chart.

I’m my experience “I could sue, but won’t” is only ever used as a threat by narcissist assholes who got called out and don’t have enough evidence to sue, because if they truly did, they would. His ego was hurt by his own shitty attitude, so he’s using threats he can’t back up to be a bully. He’s basically saying “I have more money than you and can drain your resources with a frivolous lawsuit if I wanted to”

It was a dark day when the three-fingered salute was nerfed.

It looks too high up to me, maybe a little to large. It’s definitely too close to it’s bill.
