> A smartphone needs to know what battery it has when you plug in your newly replaced battery to charge it for the very first time to ensure it doesn’t become a fire or safety hazard. This is just plain silly, even Apple's current i

Interesting, I feel it's actually getting even easier to make responsible decisions, without the advice I got from the internet I'd probably be picking individual stocks and my mortgage structure would look a lot worse. Carrying a

Please explain, what exactly are you doing that the standard look at the charge curve and compare with battery voltage and use known charge current and time won't solve? This is pretty much how all the battery capacity estimators work

I mean, I hope you're leaving some distance between your RAM and the cutoff.

Great, leave the device unplugged for a few weeks and any residual charge will drop off enough to invalidate your battery keys. That'd be a shit show.

Theoretically they could properly detect a crappy replacement too by doing some basic math to determine approximate capacity. I'm not sure of the situation on iOS but on Android tools like Accubattery do a decent job of this. As such,

They're just trying to onion route their support so upper management doesn't catch on. Needs more layers I think.

It seems a bit of an oversimplification, but it is the impression I get. Many of the decisions we must make are between those of freedom and security. The security argument is easy, especially after a tragedy, but the slow erosion of rights

Considering now that many 8chan users have moved to ZeroNet and Tor based sites, what would shuttering such things mean? I worry that it sets an extremely dangerous precedent, I don't want a Chinese-style great firewall, blocking all p

Am I reading this right? If WhatsApp and similar are no longer able to implement End-To-End crypto because they have to use an Apple API which supports only specific protocols, this is going to be a huge loss for users. I've considered

Google Maps? I mean, it's not perfect, the reviews aren't great, but usually anything rated 4.5+ is at least solid and they don't mess around with restaurant phone numbers.

Interesting, most Tor operators are doing so because they feel that people should have a right to anonymity or an uncensored internet connection. I'd even argue that Tor trades lives in a far more direct way than 8chan ever could given

Basically, some people who liked posting edgy stuff for lulz, some people had the root racist or misogynist views or gained them during impressionable years of their early lives due to that. This was a small portion, but once you have that

I wonder if we'll see a big move of such sites to ZeroNet or similar, it's fast and supports distributed databases, there's already a few imageboards on there looking to replace 8chan - 08chan and millchan. I'm sure it&#

Well, let's be clear, I simply downloaded a torrent and let it seed for a while. You seem strongly opinionated on this one though, I'm curious, what do you think of Tor or BitTorrent? Should such services be banned as they aid in

And I'm sure permanently banning everyone who ever gets a DUI from driving would also decrease DUIs, but there's an important line to draw with how we enforce those.

I use runit for pretty much everything now, I love it, no need to worry about if you're running BSD rc, systemd or sysvinit, there's always a runit package available that integrates with it and it handles logging so nicely.

Be careful with that - my friends enjoy an automatic level of anonymity even if they publish something under their real names, but my real name is rare enough that it points directly to me and me alone on Google results.

Many apps will work with minimal if any changes as they don't use native stuff at all. There's also some interesting solutions for this like libhoudini that emulates ARM to make many native apps work without any effort on the app

Yes and the number of people who believe in something like that is actually rather small. That's kind of my point. These things get treated as way more serious than they are given actual belief rates.

While there may be truth there, those numbers don't take into account the strength of those beliefs, also note that if I'm not mistaken, it's not counting independents who may vote republican, so the pool is actually much sma

Is it measurably false? I seem to remember seeing statistics that showed those convinced it very much is happening were over 50% and rising of even the US population while those who were convinced it was NOT were under 7% and dropping. I wo
