You mean pump up the jam?

Nah, I'd join random gaming discords over that future.

*nation-state chips

Saying that the good ol' America aren't doing the same is keeping your head in the sand.

*Big* Tech really falls into the devil you know vs the devil you don't. Their all shit sandwiches, take your pick or go hungry.

Not yelling at clouds, just being realistic.

About your connecting phones to cars, you'll have to allow perms as to what data is shared right? My 2011 VW has Android Auto, but no onboard Sim, how are VW making off with my data?

EDIT: Above between **, see below for further information.

Teslas were banned in areas of China for the same reasons as @[email protected] mentioned here. https://searx.tiekoetter.com/search?q=tesla+china+bans

To quote an article:

" Tesla cars face more entry bans in China as 'security concerns' accelerate. TAIPEI/BEIJING -- Tesla drivers in China are facing entry restrictions at more government-affiliated venues, including meeting halls and exhibition centers, due to data security concerns amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Beijing.24 Jan 2024 "

I guess the answer is money, but why would you do any handling of card details in-house. Having a third party process transactions passes to some degree ensuring security onto said third party.

I'd still doubt any risk of full card details being leaked unless the hack goes much deeper than just Epic.

Company I worked for was the only importer of Corsair chairs into Australia, we were told by Corsair (on a chair by chair basis) to have end users destroy faulty chairs if no replacement parts were available.

Same thing with Lian Li, we had a batch of white cases with a paint defect, they were never sold onto end-users but our warehouse teams destroyed every case, sent images to Lian Li of the destruction and we were sent another shipment.

Cooler-master had some bad mITX PSUs, same deal, sent the boys out with a hammer and safety squints.

At the end of the day it's cheaper for everyone involved to not have a faulty product that is too costly to repair shipped across the ocean or to a local disty. Sucks for the environment, sucks for the end user having to dispose of a faulty product but it makes for some interesting emails sent out to customers :D

But they do freely allow it, grab an APK from F-Droid and install it.

You posed a question about Google policing sideloading, then posted an article that has nothing to do with google policing side loading.

🤷‍♂️

My takeaway from that article is they don't, and haven't.

The splash screen for installing a package not from the play store is there to protect the end user. Without it there would probably be a much worse unwanted software issue on android.

I've been "side loading" or just "installing" applications on my android devices since the nexus one, without the help of the play store.

Yep, that's the gist. Nix build is reasonably good at spitting out what's missing ( if your packaging a random git ) and nix-init gives you a great starting point, but generally will need some tweaking to get the package running / installing.

~~ive got limited experience however i think ive got tegaki-python to build under nixos:~~

https://pastebin.com/yCKUBrgG

~~name to default.nix then run (from the same dir)~~

~~nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import { }; in pkgs.callPackage ./default.nix {}' --show-trace~~

~~lots more to build but i looks possible to have up and running in nix with some small tweaks from the initial nix-init .nix~~

~~a sparceCheckout would trim some fat however minimal on a per-package basis too~~

looks like its running into perm issues, bit over my head :D

I've recently (in the last week) added my contacts and manage my calendar via nextcloud locally. Davx synchs to my android devices, nextcloud is synched to my haos VM to help me remember bin nights / other appointments. For someone with ASD + ADHD it's a godsend.

Minimum for me would be 120hz, i've been using 120hz since 2012 (12 years... man) and anything less feels like a massive step backwards. My old S10+ and my cheapie laptop feel sluggish in any animated / transmission scenario.
