Yes, you may use my armpit.

Web browsing needs maybe 5mbps, you can change the speed in the Firefox F11? F12? Menu and see.

The real test is downloads. How long do you want to wait for a 1GB file?

You’re not going to like the pinephone, it just isn’t ready for you if you’re asking for notifications on your PC.

The calls are okay AT BEST. SMS/MMS have come a long way and should be okay. Battery life is MAYBE a day, if you’re lucky. Anything beyond that is painful unless you want to spend hours getting it to work with your own code.

Someone has to be the first and I don’t mind buying from a new account. The return process is uaully pretty good so I don’t mind the “risk”.

My account is with mailinator (free throwaway email) and I’m hopeful someone does this for me. That sounds quite nice.

Starting from the home screen, your main home page on Apostrophy OS is called the “Domus.” It’s a grayscale page with shortcuts for the Aphy Store (Apostrophy’s own app store), your calendar, contacts, Apostrophy’s VPN service, your files, email, and more. You can’t customize anything on this page, and everything you do here is run through Apostrophy’s servers for maximum security.

So far, not so good…

They can follow me and everyone else who downloaded my digital cert I posted lost control of.

I didn’t know how to feel about the headline when I read it, is it possible to do that? I still don’t know. It’s not really for me to decide how SHE feels either. It just sounds… Weird? And not possible? I don’t know.

Regardless, in my mind, it depends on what the action was. If I send a text to your phone to hack it, then I guess I’m “assaulting your phone” but if the phone is the medium used to get to you then obviously it’s towards you.

And this can all be made moot by the software devs with an input box “keep non-friends N meters away”. Its all tech and virtual. Whatever she has a problem with can be an option to toggle for her.

Consoles (Xbox, Nintendo, PlayStation) are all hacked eventually. All that will happen is someone will hack a camera to sign any image sent to it.

I think this tech (signed pictures) is just going to make the problem worse. Once a camera is hacked, it’s “signed” but fake… Same spot we are now but now we have fake verified pictures

I’d almost say your exposure is bigger in the cloud. WAY more software involved, it’s shared environment, and someone elses computer… In addition, it’s complex to properly setup. People often leave it alone once they get it working, no security test or checks.

Even IF it was because it was hosted at home, I blame the companies who build this shit. Market to end users, “super easy to use!!” But no security by default? Nuts.

Enable auto updates, randomly generated admin password (no defaults like 123456), and support for more then 3 years will go a LONG way for the average consumer.

I have no idea but I had the same question. I also love the fact that We’d believe that he’d do something like this.

Please tell me it’s real.

I can get 8gbps for a reasonable price. For ~30 less I’m getting 500mbps because my firewall only supports about 700mbps of actual throughput.

The home 2.5GE routers might have 2.5gig nic but I highly doubt they can support it for a sustained time.

Welcome to the club.

Yeah, it’s the entire thing /s

There was an article a couple years back saying that manufacturers will use cheaper components for the same products, making it LOOK like the same TV but it’s actually built cheaper. The really bad ones will keep the same product number/SKU but others will usually append a letter or two.

So the over all cost might be less but you’re actually getting a poor quality version.

I’m late 20s/early 30s. Since ~2011 the only social media I used was Reddit. No Facebook, Twitter, etc, etc.

What you’re saying is exactly how I met my now wife. I looked after myself, did shit I enjoyed, found community events, hobbies groups, lived life, met lots of people, made new friends. Eventually I asked one of the friends on a date and now my best friend is my wife and I can’t be happier.

I will say, not having Facebook was a problem in some areas though. I missed out on group activities, group hobby chats, that sort of thing but I didn’t care. Friends would invite me to some of them anyway. Also, It might have changed these days but a handfull of people refused to trade numbers, they wanted me to add them on Facebook which was impossible. I didn’t let that get in the way either but it was kind of ‘hard’ to miss out on a potential friendship. It all worked out in the end for me.

This and the privacy nightmare in new, always connected cars are the main reason I’m not buying anything new.

I’ve always bought used phones anyway. With eBay/kijiji/others you can request the seller to enable OEM unlocking so you know it can be done and you don’t even need to boot it into android before installing GrapeneOS.

My experience, not many people are willing to do that for you. YMMV.
