Tell your IT.

Wait a minute… isn’t this the plot of Terminator?

Because ppl start to ask questions when the ambulance or firetruck gets to the wrong house, but there will be no backlash when the ICBM hits the wrong house on another continent.

they always seemed to me like a temporary way to ensure nobody creeps in when you do somethjng like exchange contact details etc…

Ironic, I use a smart TV that’s not connected to a network as a monitor. It can view some DVBT too, but only a handful channels. I basically never watch actual TV, just sometimes a video. TV feels like a gigantic waste of time.

Is it because of the Uyghurs?

Ignorance is bliss, I guess 😄

Like that, yeah. There are hundreds of models, some cheap, some expensive, some even analog. For example my favorites:

Well, idk, all the watches I have (but never wear any more) are like that. Even one of my old phones was kinda like that (Wiko Highway Pure), just well, phone width and height.

i would consider buying a smartwatch, if they weren’t so thick. call me when they are 6mm or less. not gonna wear a lumpy shackle.

There are actually legal torrents and valid reasons to download them from within a company network or company workstations, for example here are the Debian install media torrents: https://www.debian.org/CD/torrent-cd/

However, you should make sure the admins and bosses don’t mind.

A dice size SLR with optional USB C, so you can attach it to phones and drones.

it’s not good for summaries. often gets important bits wrong, like embedded instructions that can’t be summarized.

It gets your unique tracking ID, so it knows you’re the same person now with different IP. If you use apps that store location data in firebase (eg. find my device, fitness trackers, emergency alert apps) it will upload your GPS location and maybe nearby wifi names, if you set it to be extra precise.

They’re all shit, sry. Last okayish one was Samsung S10e and it came with pre-installed bloat and questionable apps. Newer ones are impractically huge. Foldable screens are either not waterproof or break soon. Pine Phone not waterproof. It’s all shit. They lost track of peoples needs. Force us to buy the least worst.

This problem solved, but whenever you change your network or IP and then periodically, your phone will report to Firebase, so you can receive push notifications.

You can block those with software that simulates a local VPN with a filter, but you won’t get any more push notifications. Now push notifications are not just the ones you see. Some apps use invisible ones to get infos they need to work.

I’m on Linux and have a large variety of Javas to choose from. (Currently having 2 installed in parallel. Don’t remember ones name, but the other is Temurin.) Is it different on Windows? Why don’t they just switch?

All my private projects compile and run on both and even my favorite old Java game Spiral Knights works after some CLI parameter tweaking for modern JVMs.

it’s the so called weights. the learned data after training.

they didn’t provide neither training data, nor lists of sources, so nobody can recreate it, but them.

it’s not fully open souce tho.

it comes with binary blobs you can’t build from the source.
