The only part of the PinePhone that's immutable is the baseband on the modem. The OS in the chip has been rewritten, but to open the baseband removes the certification and recertifying an open version is outside the scope of the projec

When I worked at Domino's, 90's, UK, the standard time to stretch the dough, sauce, top, and cheese a Pepperoni Passion was 44 seconds. Everyone was expected to be able to do it after a short while in the shop.

I have nothing to hide, but I once read that we still prefer to put vacuous letters in envelopes than on postcards. I'm currently using a Raspberry Pi for my NextCloud because it's not Intel (IME), but I'm changing to a Radxa

If you are interested enough to read someone else's experience, might I suggest downloading the free program yourself and investigating? It doesn't work well for me because of payment issues, but putting together an order seems to

Many, many people in UK use GOOG pay (wallet now) to pay for goods and services. A few contort their wrists to show off their Apple watch, but phones are more than commonplace.

Someone will be along with an e-meter soon to test how you're operating. Good old L Ron. Whatta guy.

Officially, yes. There are unofficial versions. As it happens, I'm being gifted a Pixel 4, so full steam ahead. Check their site/wiki for info, if this interests you.

I'm currently on with this. Got my own domain, starting to change over accounts to new email. My webservers are at home, my NAS is being built. I'm getting GrapheneOS because I love my PinePhones but can't quite use one exclu

Predicted eventuality of all "digital sales" aka licencing of copyrighted works. You don't have to classify yourself as the cognoscenti to stop playing their game and only play music you have on hardcopy or a memory stick une

This is my gripe with all the cross-border cabs UBER introduced to the UK. Drivers traditionally had local knowledge of the area they worked in because they lived there. Since the new breed has taken hold it seems that every journey is down

Again a private company (with ties to the politicians who OK'd it, no doubt) come suckling at the taxpayer teat with promises of super duper secure fast and cheap IT to revolutionise the healthcare provider's equipment and data st

Definitely going to work. It has been so successful in England that nobody pirates anything now. This post is sarcasm. Piracy is still rife. IP blocks are ineffective. Lobby groups gonna lobby, nonetheless. Buying laws is their business.

Yes. NextCloud is your data on your hardware. Encrypt it, back it up to the cloud (someone else's computer) as offsite storage, but don't give read/write access to your calendar, contacts and emails.

Why would I want to save something to someone else's computer? To save something means to have it locally available, not copied from one third party to another. Can I recommend you turn the Internet off for a few hours and see how your

Smart sockets. Plug through the device and when it's done, shout at Mycroft (or other spyware DA) to power it off.

Maybe it would cause more emotional harm to not BDSM them (yes, I verbed a noun) than physical by doing as the human requests? Maybe dying with dignity falls under this umbrella, but that's too political to go off tangentially with on

Have you seen the markup on updated maps? Yeah, this junk is staying in cars. Useless after the first two or three years, but who sells a car aimed at the second user?

I bought an OnlyKey and am happy with it. Am I missing something when people sound disparaging about them? All the benefits of 2fa with added OSS, surely?

Deezer is in competition, Amazon Music, YT Music. Monopoly doesn't apply, does it? Even DAB/FM radio takes their lunch.

The larger the crowd the more likely the company is to monetise the service? Or just sell the eyeballs? I'd like to think DDG were too principled to do this, but money can really direct moral compasses in large enough quantities.

Unless you're using LFS, of course. The problem you describe isn't Linux, it's Linux Distributions. Where would you draw the line? Source packages are available, and if the binaries don't match the code a distro would so

I had 5 1/2" floppies with nudes in .GIF files in the 80's. Maybe 1988. Our compiter room at school was populated with BBC model B machines and a couple of BBC Master systems. Aside from playing Firetrak, we had the pleasure

This will always be funny. Keep living the dream. There are countless people out there who know nothing of chemistry and this is a great way to make a point, or make them laugh dependent on the framing. http://dhmo.org/ has
