You can still get it from F-Droid. It’s a much better app store anyways. The google play store is mostly full of ad filled crap.

The only reason to have such fast internet at home is for torrents. Nothing else will saturate 10G, even with several people using it.

what happens when Little Timmy spends $9000 for Nlartbux in a mobile game’s external store?

That’s why you don’t put your credit card info in a phone or tablet and let kids play with it.

It was dead to me after microsoft bought it.

The maximum real world speed for USB 2 is around 320Mbps or 40MB/s, but that only happens if there is only one device connected to the USB controller. 30MB/s is much more typical.

Big tech is our enemy. It doesn’t matter if it’s facebook or tiktok.

The Steam Deck is the only decent console because it’s not locked down.

That lets a USB C port function as a DisplayPort output so you can connect the phone to a monitor without using some laggy wireless streaming crap.

Keeping data centers cool is hard enough on earth. It would be completely impractical in space.

I would love to have a phone that I could just plug into a USB C dock and use as a normal computer. They’ve got plenty of processing power for that now. Every single program I use except for games could run on a phone if it used normal GNU/Linux.

They shouldn’t have made it so bloated then. The 2003 version opened fairly quickly, even on a late 90’s computer.

Yes, they still make USB floppy drives.

Android also shows an indicator when any app is accessing the microphone or camera now.

I’m sure someone will release an addon or some custom CSS to fix it.

It’s not uncommon for a single web page to use 5-10MB. Shopping and social media sites are the some of the worst since they have lots of javascript libraries and pictures. It’s not hard to use a couple GB in a day without streaming anything.

Modern websites are excessively bloated. That data goes fast.

I wouldn’t suggest relying on Google for anything. https://killedbygoogle.com/
Search and Gmail are probably about the only thing they won’t kill.

Punch cards have been around for over 200 years. No electronics are needed to punch them. Some very complex patterns were created with the Jacquard loom without any computers. It just takes a massive amount of work to create the cards.

I doubt it would work for the buffer memory in a high speed camera. That needs to be overwritten very frequently until the camera is triggered. They didn’t say what the erase time or write endurance is. It could work for quickly dumping the RAM after triggering, but you don’t need low latency for that. A large number of normal flash chips written in parallel will work just fine.

Those old drives may be using SLC flash. It can have a 20+ year data retention.
