Intel 11th gen CPUs are 100% Modern Standby and DO NOT have S3 sleep. I don't know about AMDs support.

You could just use a USB hub if you need so many extra.

Finland, Sweden and Denmark have already banned use of Moderna due to their findings of it increasing myocarditis, but it's still unknown if other vaccines have a high rate of this side effect. Good to see other countries investigating

Custom ROMs like LineageOS which is in this study does have an inbuilt firewall. Long press an app and you can deny internet access entirely, deny VPN access, etc.

Highly regulated how? There was no censorship on people recommending alternative health treatments online until COVID-19 came. Additionally ivermectin is not a cure, it instead has proven effectiveness in attenuating the duration and severi

Agreed, it's especially ridiculous that they said Trump should have been advocating for the vaccine when he did and still does.

I'm confused why you lumped in that last line about improving immigration policies being relevant here. The mass importing of cheap foreign labour is a major factor in why wages have stagnated as well simply due to more competition for

It's a poor proxy measure of mobile OS privacy comparing thousands of apps of the default app stores. It totally ignores the effect of Android device brand on privacy, and choice of ROM and non-default app stores being used. If this wa

Except they are willing, since fruit pickers and truck drivers were being offered £60k+ even a few weeks ago. So it's just a time lag until all the jobs are filled next.

With Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye having recently announced they're supporting Proton/Wine, there will be very few games that won't be able to be run on Linux in the near future.

I stopped using this a number of years ago when I became more privacy-conscious and now use ActivityWatch which doesn't have an online connection. If RescueTime could be run completely offline or could be self-hosted I'd consider

People seem to be missing the biggest reason why phones can't be updated permanently - it's because of SoC vendors like Qualcomm. Their SoCs include proprietary drivers in order to run Linux on them, and because of that the kernel

Can't wait for it's Steam release, the new UI looks awesome.

Basically this. Signal refuses to give up control (they've even shut down third-party clients) so they're a walled garden like WhatsApp.

Conversations are E2EE encrypted so their tool doesn't work for those.

1) It seems the raw databases are encrypted in `/storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Databases` so even being rooted isn't sufficient to dump them.

It's decentralising the root zone, not just a single TLD.

They've reserved the top 100k Alexa domains on HNS for the original DNS owners. They're actively thwarting ICANN's overreach and centralisation of control by redecentralising the internet again. But sure, everytime HN sees a

From what I understand this is aimed only at ARM, so there's no emulation. This is therefore targeting Linux phones, but not Linux on desktop (which is usually run on x86).

Speedify is very intriguing. Does anybody know of an open-source alternative?

by ajvs 5y ago
I think progress will speed up over the next year once mobile Linux distros like postmarketOS can be flashed on many Android devices, similar to how LineageOS and other ROMs can be flashed to many right now. Currently it takes too much work

You are an exception I'm sorry to say. I've used two ThinkPads with Linux over the past few years with no issues, and am now on a Dell XPS with again, no issues. Try running Kubuntu off of a live USB (you can do this with any Linu
