Nah.

Honda has a much better product in the first place, their engineering approach has always been better than Nissan (I say this having worked on every major brand, and some unknowns).

Nissan is one of the better ones, but they’re still a big step away from Honda.

And Honda was working on hydrogen nearly 30 years ago now, which seems poised to suplant batteries (again, maybe).

That’s fucked up

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Drives me crazy that accounting software is SAAS. The last thing I want is my business accounting on someone else’s systems, regardless of how encrypted, backed up, etc.

Just look at the recent large company whose entire business data set was deleted by Google. If it were a small mom n pop, they’d be out of business before Google even responded.

I swear I see a business opportunity as an IT consulting service that implements nothing but local solutions.

I also don’t agree that we don’t know what it [consciousness] is.

… most can’t agree on how to define it.

Which is it?

1999 - DSL After that, cable was pretty much everywhere I lived.

I thought the Big Thing with BS was being open and federate-able?

(Yes, sarcasm)

This can already be done with a tiny camera and a pocket computer, and we don’t have regs around it.

Glasses would make that simpler, but the cat’s out of the bag.

That movie was so much better than I gave it credit for at the time.

Rewatched it recently, a B movie that had more depth than appeared at first (and yes, the irony isn’t list on me).

Because they match standard nav light coloration.

And you need nav lights for takeoff and landing where other craft are coming/going

And they won’t work anymore with the retirement of analog years ago, 2G years ago, and now 3G for consumer use (I’m assuming that phone was analog/2G).

Yet Another Call Blocker -

I block all calls except those I know.

After Signal’s lie about dropping SMS support because of “engineering costs”, I really can’t believe anything else they say.

Plus the app experience sucks, it’s no better than SMS.

Except companies are already jumping ship to other solutions. One very large company is moving thousands of VMs to an implementation of KVM, virtually eliminating the insane VM licensing.

Broadcom has all but admitted their own solution is inferior, by converting their workstation virtualization to KVM!

To Broadcom’s credit, the writing was on the wall that versions of KVM would be eating their market over the next 10 years (for example, Proxmox), so they’re getting all they can now before their corner on the market weakens.

Overused? According to who?

“The mystery in New Jersey”

There’s no mystery, the FAA issued an air restriction for the Picatinny area from Nov 21 to Dec 26, for “special security reasons” - aka some dark development group doing testing.

Why else would these things have nav lights?

Frankly, their asshole attitude sucks.

I had an error flashing it to a Pixel, and dev response was classic “what did you do wrong” instead of addressing the error message, they criticized me. Well, fuck you then.

Mind, I’ve been flashing phones since 2010, I’ve done hundreds of flashes, so I have extensive notes for every phone. My current approach is to use a project management app (MS Project), so I don’t miss anything. I’m meticulous - if a step doesn’t work as expected, I start over from the beginning, including re-flashing the factory image, until my documentation is spot on (I built desktop deployment images in a former life).

I’d read other comments about their behaviour, but thought I’d give it a try anyway. Sorry, if support is like that to me while just setting up, what it like if I had a real problem?

I’ve also seen the same behaviour when they discuss how their approach is different from other people - they don’t seek to clarify how their approach is different, but only to say their way is right, and to denigrate anyone else.

Graphene is useless to me with attitudes like that.

It was a bit emotionally difficult to take new $400 hardware and then just simply re-flash it risking say bricking.

This is a not-insignificant part of why I buy older (flagship) models. My most recent upgrade was to a Pixel 5, I bought 2 for that same $400, and another for $150.

Flashing has gotten so much easier, especially with Pixel (or not Samsung, and a few others). Motorola has been pretty good forever, generally, though some models have been tricky.

I’m not using Graphene (I disagree with their attitude about some things), but DivestOS - a fork of Lineage. Running MicroG for now, but working away from Google Store apps.

Check out NativeAlpha - it’s a browser which presents websites like an app. A big plus is it uses the phone’s own web engine, so it’s really just an app/UI config. I use it for my library, bank, hospital/doctors, etc. It seems to be good at replacing dedicated apps (with their issues). I tjin

Hermit is an app on Google Play that’s similar, but doesn’t seem to require Google Services (not that Native Alpha does, just surprising for a Play app). I’ve been finding so many apps that have GServices dependencies for no apparent reason, like simple offline dictionaries (what the hell??)!

No 7 year old should have dad’s access code/password.

They should also know to not touch dad’s phone.

Would you let them use your work PC? Drive the car? Play with a Leatherman?

Storage is cheap for what you get.

A DVD movie ripped to MKV is 3-5GB.

A 12 terabyte drive is ~ $100. That’s… 2400 movies (if my math is right). My current movie collection is about 300 movies, 500GB of storage (I’ve ripped some stuff to MP4).

Having a backup of 12TB would cost perhaps $100/yr (Im paying less than that for backup of my 4TB storage).

Alternatively you can replicate your library with friends and family, pretty simple to do. Drop a mini pc with a drive in it running Kodi/Casaos/Freedombox, whatever, behind the TV at everyone’s house, for less than 20w of power you have a replicated media player.
