I think a similar question worth pondering is: Is increased development of pay-for-privacy ethical in similar extremes? Extending the authors arguments, it would be unethical to develop pay-for-privacy if it reserves privacy for the few and

Tracker Control on Android allows changing DNS servers, but you could also use 1.1.1.1 from Cloudflare, Mozilla VPN and others.

I got an HP48G in high school for UIL[1] competitions at the direction of a math teacher, and once I got the hang of it, it's been hard to use anything else. The competitions were a mix of math and seeing how many problems you could go

True story: I bought a 256GB 960EVO ~4 years ago strictly for the performance, I've written 50TB, and it shows 100%. I think temperature might have something to do with the percentage. I replaced it with a 1TB Hynix P31 for the same pr

Yeah, the system integrators are getting their supply, so retail BYOPC buyers aren't seeing as much stock as they would if supply was higher. Ryzens are still easier to find than GPUs though. I've seen the 3xxx series chips in sto

This is true for Android too, you can install F-Droid, disable every Google app (or uninstall) and use it like a normal phone with apps on F-Droid or whatever you want to sideload.

OpenJDK was ported to musl libc[1], so I guess Cosmopolitan should be possible, musl is a lot smaller than glibc. I'd also like to see how well RISC-V is supported by Cosmpolitan. [1] https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/

There are things you can do with physical+software filters, and bias frames in general, for wide astrophotography shots. My point is you'll need a tracker with the long lens, worry about light pollution with a wide lens, and worry abou

More than stabilization and tracking issues, is light pollution unless you have 300mm+ lenses. At that point with the tracking gear, lens and body you're well above a meh telescope, unless maybe you build the tracking gear yourself and

I think there are 3 reasons I can think of why newspapers are demanding more from FB/Google: 1) Ad-spend has gone digital and especially local newspapers have had a hard time transitioning. FB/Google have captured the growth here

It's interesting that Windows CE of the time was offered as an SDK option. I actually wonder if the Katana SDK option had any multi-tasking capabilities? Presumably for communicating with the memory card maybe? I never had a Dreamcast

After decades of hearing about trickle-down economics, and seeing lower inflation than ever, it's only taken a couple stimulus checks for people to start becoming inflation hawks. People need to set the bar a bit higher I think. There

I can't help with checkrestart or apt questions, but if I can plug 'needrestart -r a': it restarts services, messages outdated shells/user logins and checks for newer kernels/microcode. It will also tell you if any

It's the pragmatic thing to do, and it's defacto what happens on Linux distros too. Distros offer pip/docker/cargo, but when some libraries/programs are popular enough, someone will inevitably package it and offer i

There are scripts and daemons that help you determine what needs restarting[1,2]. NixOS installs can go in separate directory prefixes when there are conflicts. For Gentoo and other Linux distributions, maintainers usually won't mark s

More modern heat pumps can be efficient at up to around -10 degF[1]. Higher efficiency federal/local rebates are not bad across the US, so I wouldn't be surprised if these were installed in some TX homes. It's still a capacit

If the Linux kernel also adds Rust as a dependency to build modules, gccrs could actually be a good solution for the platforms still supported by gcc. It's ok for Gentoo to drop support for these platforms IMO, the least used architect

That's another alternative, which doesn't exist yet. Ethereum PoS could be here sooner and doesn't use energy like PoW does, along with other helpful features.
