I'd be glad if we all could use mobile phones where we are able to change the battery. There is no way around, batteries are wearing parts. And I know that most phones (and even laptop computers) use small/weird form factors to us

This probably would raise suspicion and CBP will detain you, as will bringing no phone at all. This is the EFF's statement regarding wiped devides: We don’t recommend disk wiping as a border crossing security measure for most traveler

For 300.000 people it is... kinda useful. And the books are shared via the highlight function of Instagram. It's like stories, but they aren't deleted after 24h. They stay in your profile and can be watched again and again until

Having used bc as my calculator for a while, i recently switched to insect - because it has fore features. For example it can parse and convert between physical units and has a lot of predefined constants. So instead of using two command

Yeah, I really liked it. My last Sansa Clip+ broke a couple of month ago, though. I couldn't find a decent replacement yet.

I have the same problem. I don't really use twitter, but sometimes I get a link to there from Reddit or HN. Twitter never works on the first try with Firefox or Chrome on Android. Often a refresh helps, but sometimes it does not work a

GDPR is just fine, if you've got your shit together and has some actual benefits for users, like being able to request all my saved data and its deletion. And of course disallowing websites handing my data to every possible ad network

Ah, I miss my good ol' Sandisk Sansa Clip+. This device with rockbox firmware and a MicroSD-Card had an amazing interface, enough storage for lots of music, supporting FLAC and other lossless formats, all while being small, lightweight
