Spinning up and down hard drives repeatedly drastically reduces their lifespan though. Once a day or so, fine, but if you set a 30 minute idle time or something and it spins them down a dozen times per day, you are putting acceleration forces on the drive many more times than intended.
If you have to buy a new HDD twice as often because you spin it down, any financial or environmental savings is instantly negated and in the end it is much, much worse in both respects.
My girlfriend has an A52 and her dad had an A23 (or whatever 3rd gen low-tier but not the cheapest).
Both of them regularly, from day 1 have lost cellular signal or 4G/5G signal, and my girlfriend even had to get a new sum card because the A52 simply refused to use it and she was “stuck” in the middle of nowhere with no GPS and no map and no cellular to call someone because of her Samsung phone.
They both barely worked as a phone for a long time. My xperia 5ii had a problem of losing 4G every once in a while until I turned airplane mode on and off again.
My point is that most phones, regardless of manufacturer, have shit signal or intermittent cellular problems, that vary from device to device. n=1 anecdotes are a pretty bad metric of saying whether a phone is good or not. Manufacturers should be required to publish standardized volume testing.
Not to mention that all new Samsung’s come with forced Israeli spyware that you can’t uninstall.
Also Falba.tech is stilll chugging along with beautiful bamboo and beech cases.
That is my daily driver (ergodash) with some subtle keycaps. Great so far except that it is still microUSB because at the time I didn’t want to shell out 30€ extra for the pro micro USBC version
Isn’t this the guy who has posted a bunch of purely vibe-“coded” spam and then deletes it if the backlash becomes too big? Like the “temple-runner game” posted last week?
True, but the whole systemd age verification system is coming from the US mostly right? I guess the UK and Australia too but I think the US has a much bigger impact.
It was literally never about the children
There is a lawyer’s wet dream of evidence against thousands of real-world non-speculative child rapists and abusers with names, phones, emails, and literal video evidence and written admissions of guilt of systematic rape, torture, abuse, and child sex trafficking that are legally usable in court.
What has been done about it?
Not one. Single. Arrest. Because the guys implementing the tracking are the same ones raping and torturing children.
This is not a policy or tool to protect children.
This is a way for the exact same sadist pedophiles to track children’s identities so that they can use that plus data broker data to figure out what kids are most vulternable and target them to be raped, tortured, and abused.
It often doesn’t really. It misses a ton and fills in the gaps itself. It is aimilar with multitasking in that it is really just fast task switching and filling the gaps.
I maan, there are dedinitely people that specifically train to speed read or listen, but i would be interested to have people speed read/listen short novels or so and check for comprehension after the fact.
Sony, in their infinite wisdom, defaults full data without the ability to choose a default, you can only deny upon plugging it in and it will eventually revert back to full data anyway
Zach Freedman always has quite thouroughly thought out videos. Not always interesting for me personally, but quite a few bangers.
And he launched Gridfinity into the ecosystem it is today.
They are trying to get rid of cash here. Bancontact in the Benelux is literally trying to do away with all cash exchange.
They have paid ( I assume since it all happened within a few months across many banks)/caused hundreds of banks to simply not accept cash input anymore at their ATMs and take out their ATMs entirely and built entirely new Bancontact ATMs everywhere that don’t accept any cash input, only output.
My girlfriend (cafe owner) has to drive 20 minutes to deposit cash income.
So essentially, they are trying to force businesses to not accept cash at all anymore if they make it inconvenient enough. Then everything flows through Pepol, and everything has to be paid via Bancontact and they will have a cut of literally everyone across multiple countries’ income as profit doing nothing but bribing politicians and banks.
It often gives incorrect maps simply because of update schedule and them encouraging not reporting construction <3 months or whatever.
We have construction all over in Belgium and tons of detours such that it makes open street map pretty much unusable as it will just incessantly reroute you to a blocked path even after you are well on a different route.
