- Comment on Meta might be secretly scanning your phone's camera roll - how to check and turn it off 1 day ago:
For anyone wanting the easy way. You get a pixel phone, you go to the GrapheneOS website, and you plug your phone into your PC and click the buttons in order, and it flashes your phone for you. If you can follow steps of pushing a web button in order, you can have an alternate OS installed in half hour

Alternate OS is the best choice, then you pick and choose apps
- Comment on Microsoft fires 2 employees after they broke into president's office 3 days ago:
Obviously a slanted article, the other reports of the two employees being fired was because they had a vigil honouring two people they worked with that were killed in Gaza. They followed all Microsoft’s rules for the gathering and still got fired for it.

The irony is brick was though of as cheap when buildings move to it, from traditional stone blocks. The term “oh, that’s so Redbrick”, was a slam against something that had become cheap or slummy
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 1 week ago:
If its a smart display of analog it could be the hand positions have preprogrammed locations and not that is an accurate and smooth transition between the actual progression.
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 1 week ago:
Growing up with only Analog, it just was a quick glance. You didn’t even have to stop and read it, because you glance and have a mental image of the hand positions that you could compare in your head.
Does your watch have clearly marked minutes and a second hand? If its not quite at the minute mark you know its before 9:23, but if its so close you can’t tell then the seconds hand will show you if its before or after the 60seconds spot.
But also, that’s how Analog is, and unless you have a very precise watch, a regular watch will gain or lose time daily and so the preciseness of 9:23 will be invalid anyway.

Everyone deleting will trigger drive activity, rather than just letting it be dormant. Seems counterproductive.

Heh, now I am. I don’t really have sympathy in this case, its a first world problem: I tattooed my whole face now I’m grumbling that facial recognition doesn’t work.

Each province is a bit different. Jere are my notes from being in several.
Alberta is an oil and gas province and has a lot of maga types, so we call it North Texas. To balance that comment, many Albertans are very friendly and outgoing.
British Columbia has more open minded people, and focus on clean environment, but it is expensive to live in BC. Vancouver is a cold (socially) city, people have established cliques and you will find the outgoing friendly people are immigrants from other countries or provinces.
Ontario has a lot of opportunity but each city can have a different feel. Avoid Windsor, even though it has cheaper housing than say Toronto, it is a blue collar town with many small minded people.
I’ve never had any issues with healthcare in any province. It’s been a great system, especially when I got cancer.

- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 1 month ago:
If you are into that: then tplink kasa switches and plugs can be reconfigured via hs100 app on git hub, so that they only look local and don’t try to reach out to a remote server. You can use the app to connect them to your local WiFi. Then you can control them via home assistant locally (or remotely) and not rely on a corporate server and android app for use

When you want to intergrate your smoker into homeassitant so you can adjust it from the office.

I’m not sure what you are saying. Its not Materialist its Material Scientist, they study the science of materials and get a diploma in Materials Science, and the job is called Materials Scientist. Its basically Math, chemistry and metalurgial sciences rolled I into one discipline. Thus the link I posted, here’s another materials.princeton.edu/…/what-materials-science

Yeah, no point supporting something that has become obsolete. Foss community often puts effort in as passion, but a business will not want technical debt and move on to the next hardware support
