Law enforcement have tools to bypass lockscreens and access the data on the device. They use backdoors and exploits, so older phones are more vulnerable. Most exploits only work if the phone has been unlocked at some point since it was booted.

This is why law enforcement keep them powered-on, and in a faraday cage. They are in a state with a better chance of unlock, but have no signal so nobody can remotely find/lock/wipe it.

18 hours by default.

You mean “Microsoft Terminal Services Client”?

I was tempted by Arc. Intel drivers always “just worked”, but they are just slow. Arc didn’t address the problem like I’d hoped, and AMD really got their shit together in the last 5 years or so.

That’s hilarious. I haven’t been able to enable IPv6 since the August update. The machine just spins to 100% CPU across every core like a forkbomb.

It pissed me off because my home network is built IPv6-first.

If my work pushes 24H2 I’ll just have to disable both :/

I’m waiting for the part that it gets used for things that are not lazy, manipulative and dishonest. Until then, I’m sitting it out like Linus.

Everybody’s stupid except me.

PlexAmp is an amazing bit of software for a phone. It doesn’t translate well to the desktop, but it’s still pretty good.

Your flacs will play lossless on wifi, and transcode to 128kbps opus on mobile. You can tweak those settings too.

Most smart TVs have a native plex app available too.

I don’t mean permanently. I mean that restaurants that are identified as an outbreak for food poisoning get immediately closed and investigated. They re-open once the health inspector clears it.

Being allowed to continue trading through this is insane.

Any other restaurant would have been closed down over this.

I would block it just because they actively block clients on WINE.

The speed humps are actually worse on a softer setting. The car takes far longer to settle after a bump.

On standard suspension, the car would bounce off the bump stops at half the speed of everyone else.

The ones near me are heavily signed. There’s usually 4 sign posts on each one. They’re big, bright, and an utter blight on the landscape.

I actually drive between them because my car is narrow. I drive down my entire street in the middle of the road and weave oncoming traffic. Again, I’m not sure what sped humps do for safety.

One thing that makes them “equally unpleasant” for everyone is a straight-through muffler. At 2AM, my neighbors are just an inconvenienced as I am when I drop back to first gear 6 times. My council refers to speed humps as “traffic calming devices”. In reality, it just aggravates it.

It’s fun to play and complete in your local sportsball league. It’s exercise while being fun. Spectating is fun when watching a sport that you also play. Seeing the pros play is it properly lets you bring something back to your own game. I don’t actually care who wins. That’s tribalism.

Going to a “sports” bar to watch fat people get drunk and place bets makes no sense to me.

I also hate sports trivia. It’s just celebrity trivia but for people to star on the field instead of in movies. If I get asked who won a particular award in a particular sport in a particular year, I would have absolutely no idea. If you aksed me to explain the “infield fly” rule, I’ve got that covered.

And yes, a full 8 minutes of the nightly news covering sports is just insane. I just don’t care.

Speed humps. On my daily 5km drive, there are about a dozen of them each way.

I have a 900kg car with sports suspension, and I need to slow almost to a stop for many of them.

Meanwhile people in 2500kg road-blimps are blasting through without slowing.

Most are bumps in the road that taper on the sides. Vehicles with a wide enough wheelbase miss them amlost entirely, whereas my 1.6m wide car gets launched into the air.

The greater the kill capacity of your vehicle, the less you are affected by these “safety” devices.

I haven’t financed a phone since 2008. I copped a fee for ending a 24 month contract a day early.

I just buy a cheap outright handset, flash a community ROM and avoid everything my telco offers past a $20 basic service. Handsets with community support go for years past what the manufacturers support.

A monitor is an output device. It cannot transmit or operate on a network. (inb4 ethernet over HDMI: There is no implementation of the spec in the wild).

If there’s any ad tracking, it would have to be in your display driver on the PC.

My take from this: Use the stairs.

I would imagine that any x64 binary compiled to work with both chipsets would only use the instructions that are common between them. This would mean there’s not much gain in developing a new insutruction unless both companies support it.

I’m sure there’s some super-optimised stuff out there that targets extra instructions when they’re available, but it’s very rare.
