Blue Man Group: The Complex Rock Tour (favorite track: Rods and Cones)

The company that made my TV is engaged in copyright infringement, you say? Transmitting copyrighted images over the Internet for profit?

Huh.

You don’t even need root. Developer options -> USB debugging, then run Universal Android Debloater on your PC.

That’s funny! If someone was trying to infect my PC via e-mail, I would expect them to be sending pdf files.

Also check out ELKS for your even older CPUs.

This image classification, which does not currently apply to videos, works on-device and is powered by Android System SafetyCore, which “doesn’t send identifiable data or any of the classified content or results to Google servers.”

It’s opt-in for adults but automatically activated for children’s devices.

So it’s creating and adding new data that didn’t exist in the original image, presumably using “AI” since it requires a server-side update.

Sadly, the DRM-free version is nerfed, no multiplayer?

I missed it when it was $2 on Steam a month ago… :(

I saw a laptop ad where they referred to the storage as ROM, e.g. “500GB ROM/16GB RAM” 😂

Then again, EPROMs are rewritable yet “read-only”…

They go out of their way to block Linux. There was “Vinegar” bootstrapper, then “Grapejuice”, leading to the current closed-source “Sober” client that streamlines running Roblox for ARM Android on x86_64 Linux PC.

No problem. I think in my case only Wine/Proton games were doing it and native Linux games were fine. I shake my fist at Nvidia and carry on. 😂

Try this setting: Display Configuration > Screen tearing: Allow in fullscreen windows. Whatever it’s set to, try the other setting. I had a similar issue once and this fixed it. The issue came back a long time later and switching it again fixed it. 🤷‍♂️

It’s a difficult issue to pin down. I’ve also read about video stuttering while trying to stay synched to pipewire audio which is having buffer underruns, even if your audio sounds fine. To check the audio buffer, you install and run pw-top and then watch it while you are having the video problem.

In the USA, Section 230 protections are going away in 2027 so that should finish off any remaining forums.

Good, it will continue to not be played at my house.

Play Store… Don’t forget that Google can take your apps away. I bought PicSay Pro for making memes over a decade ago and now it’s no longer available. Of course I dumped it to apk for manual transfer to other devices but how long before “unknown” app installation is taken away?

I’d like access to serial port over USB for running 3D printers and robots off of devices that would otherwise be e-waste, but it’s hit-or-miss and the battery charging problem that was already mentioned here.

The “vulnerability” was only that F-Droid wasn’t keeping up with their builds, leaving everyone who installed it from F-Droid out-of-date, during a period of known Firefox bugs being exploited.

I don’t know what all this talk of css hacks and add-ons is about… Alt, View, Sidebar, Bookmarks.

Only reasons I can think of are time and money. We sadly lost DivestOS and their projects… How about software patents, which of course are bullshit; but even illegitimate threats can ruin small businesses and lone programmers who don’t have the time and money to defend themselves.

Rip out your USB port and use wireless charging. It at least slows the authorities down, they would have to fix the port first.

Aye, mate!
