Exactly. Then the states would have the freedom to enforce the rules they wanted to within their borders. And people would have the ability to choose what rules they wanted to live under.

Oh no. I mean completely abolish the federal government. No federal government at all. Zero. Not a zilch. The federal government is too many steps removed from the people and does not give a shit. At least if we had only the 50 state governments, they would be closer to the people and have to care more about what the people thought.

I had a screen issue with mine after a while where the bottom right hand corner of the screen was trying to separate from the body a little bit and there was like this green line that showed up in the middle of my display. It was annoying as hell. Also, that was before I started only letting my battery charge up to 80% and so my battery was pretty well shot by the time that occurred as well.

I agree. I was thinking of 18 hours myself because 12 seems a little bit too short. But 24 or above seems far too long.

Not particularly, no. Although I do use Odyssey, because there are at least some channels that were on YouTube that I watch from there, such as Scott Manley, talking about rockets. And I think undecided or something like that is on there as well.

This is not for devices where the pin has been entered incorrectly too many times. This is for devices that the police have seized and are awaiting forensics to pull data from.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. Disabling the biometrics and requiring the pin is a good step. But I would like to see somebody test it to figure out whether it actually goes into BFU mode or not.

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 4 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Does it or does it just simply disable biometrics but leave it an AFU? I would hope that if it's going to disable the biometrics, that it would put it in BFU. But I do not know.

Just set the time too longer than you would be asleep. So in this screenshot above you could set it to 18 hours and most people at least that I know do not go 18 hours without unlocking their phone at least one time which would then reset the timer.

This makes me even more interested in getting a newer pixel with graphene on it. I had the Pixel 3a back in the day, but have been using other devices since then with lineage. But this right here may very well bring me back. The only thing they need to do is have it on by default and set it to like a long time frame like 24 or 36 hours.

Oh yeah, see they've done it perfectly by having it based on the last time you unlocked your screen.

 

So recently I've been seeing the trend where Android OEMs such as Google, Samsung, etc. have been extending their software release times up to like five, six, and seven years after device release. Clearly, phone hardware has gotten to the point where it can support software for that long, and computers have been in that stage for a very long time. From what I can tell, the only OEM that does this currently might be Fairphone.

Edit: The battery is the thing that goes the fastest so manufacturers could just offer new batteries and that would solve a lot of the problem.

 

Why use HTTP over SOCKS5? SOCKS seems much more common.

 

I just finished this incredibly interesting book and will leave the description from my book service below.

"Worst Case Scenario" by T J Newman

"#1 internationally bestselling author T.J. Newman is back with Worst Case Scenario. When a pilot suffers a heart attack at 35,000 feet, a commercial airliner filled with passengers crashes into a nuclear power plant in the small town of Waketa, Minnesota, which becomes ground zero for a catastrophic national crisis with global implications. The International Nuclear Event Scale tracks nuclear disasters. It has seven levels. Level 7 is a Major Accident, with only two on record: Fukushima and Chernobyl. There has never been a Level 8. Until now. In this heart-stopping thriller, ordinary people--power plant employees, firefighters, teachers, families, neighbors, and friends-- are thrust into an extraordinary situation as they face the ultimate test of their lives. It will take the combined courage, ingenuity, and determination of a brave few to save not only their community and loved ones, but the fate of humanity at large."

 

This right here is just part of why amateur radio is such a necessary vital service.

I am a Kagi user and have been for 7 months now. I signed up for the 300 searches per month plan because I felt like that would fit me well enough and it turns out I average 87 searches per month. That's a lot lower than I thought it would be by quite a bit.

 

I just finished this and figured it was worth sharing.

"After taking down the man responsible for his best friend's death, Stuart Ramey finds himself left with a multimillion-dollar fortune in Bitcoin. It's a desperate bid by Frigg, a rogue A.I. program created by the killer, to keep itself from being fully deactivated."

 

Prices of things are becoming absolutely insane. $800+ rent, $30,000 cars, $10 sub sandwiches, etc. It would be nice to do a 3/1 split and cut everything by 2/3. Then we would have $266 rent, $10,000 cars, and $3.33 sub sandwiches. Wages, debts, everything would drop to 1/3 what they are now. It would also make coins useful again since a vending machine soda would be 2 quarters again.
