Luckily my neighbors are way out of WiFi range and there is barely enough cell service here to send a text from inside the house.

I noticed a huge increase in spam calls back around September and they haven't let up since. I had to set my phone to reject calls that aren't in my contacts. If someone needs to contact me, they will have to text or leave a voicemail.

Don't worry, they will slip some ever increasing hidden fees in there.

Yes, a quick search on GSM Arena shows 189 phones with a radio and headphone jack. That's just phones from the last year.

The lack of an FM radio and headphone jack make it unusable for me.

What a pain in the ass. I will probably just disable HTTPS and use a VPN or SSH tunnel for my stuff then.

It's free on GOG right now too.

The spark doesn't have to be big enough to feel for it to cause damage. The damage doesn't always appear immediately either.

I usually use butyl tape to seal my coax connections. It's a bit of a pain to remove, but mineral spirits cleans off the residue fairly well.

I had a Sapphire RX580 fail on me in 2023. It was a cheap card I got from ebay, so who knows what the previous owner did to it though.

Water will find it's way in even if you try to seal it. Just put some anti seize on the threads.

I wish they would just get rid of shorts all together. Vertical video shouldn't exist.
