Sometimes?

I hate Admiral so much. Just be glad this site didn’t disable the bypass link.

It’s honestly really impressive seeing the SawStop table saws stop. If I’m reading it right, they use capacitance to detect a body part and take advantage of the space below the table to let the blade fall into while braking it.

The bird.makeup instance is a one-way Twitter mirror, but it’s not always very reliable since Twitter keeps making it harder to use Twitter

Yeah, just clone AOSP, edit the source, spend hours fixing build errors, wait hours for the GSI to build, unlock your bootloader and lose all your data, flash the GSI, spend days creating shims to make vendor-specific features work properly, and finally profit. Easy.

I’m saying this having looked at the source code. You can’t hide the build number without turning off Developer Options.

The build number text is set to show if Developer Options is enabled. It doesn’t check anything else.

I think you’re overthinking this, and extrapolating limited data way too far.

For one, of course historically rich countries are going to be hosting more technology. Tech is expensive, and less developed countries are called that because they’re less developed, which includes electricity grids, internet, economic power, and so on.

Another issue is that just because a Mastodon server is hosted in a particular country, doesn’t mean only people in or from that country can make an account there. Sure, there are some servers that want to keep their communities specific to their local area, but the vast majority have no restrictions. Anyone from anywhere can sign up.

If you’re trying to figure out how to make it so historically poor countries have the most servers instead, you’re going to have to figure out how to fund and manage infrastructure expansion.

It feels like you’re coming at this with the assumption of “every country has the resources to spin up hundreds of social media servers, but they’re just not interested”, which is kind of a weird conclusion to come to after recognizing the historical impact of colonialism and the privilege differences it’s led to.

I gotta be honest, I’m not sure I’d be willing to trust something I set up myself with general-purpose software to handle something as important as a smoke alarm alert.

That’s the sort of thing that gets hardware dedicated to the task and doesn’t rely on me configuring everything correctly and Linux not crashing because some other unrelated process had issues.

Double tapping and holding on the second tap for granular zoom with one finger is a standard feature on Android.

The person you’re replying to is just suggesting an alternative for one-finger zoom. Pinching with two fingers still works.

That was absolutely written by AI.

That instance just has a custom homepage written in React. The actual social UI is normal Mastodon with some color tweaks.

It is possible to use different frontends for Mastodon, though. Web apps like Elk can either run on a dedicated server to log into any Mastodon instance, or can be hosted by instance admins as alternative frontends.

They absolutely do send emails like this. They’ve got a monitoring service if you have a credit card with them to check for data breaches, and most credit cards and even banks I’ve seen do the same. I just got my monthly monitoring update email this morning from Discover, thankfully telling me they didn’t find anything.

Barn owls are in a different family than barred owls according to Wikipedia.

Tytonidae vs Strigidae

I think it might be a Latin American phrase. Googling “bien feo” comes up with a lot of people using it to mean ugly, disgusting, bad, etc.

When T-Mobile moved to unlimited with the ONE plans, they gave You “unlimited” tethering at “3G speeds”, which turned out to be 0.5Mbit/s, an unusably slow speed in 2018.

The Magenta plans gave you 5GB-50GB of full-speed tethering before dropping you to “3G speeds”. The current Go5G plans are similar, with a limited amount of usable tethering data before you’re, for all practical uses, cut off.

Before the ONE plans, there technically was no hotspot usage limit, but since you had a limited amount of high-speed data, your hotspot was effectively limited to whatever your plan gave you.

All the US carriers limit hotspot usage, partly to prevent someone hooking up a computer to download 50TB of pirated movies while clogging up the bandwidth for everyone else on that tower, and (moreso) partly because they’re greedy.

There are a ton of methods carriers use to detect hotspot traffic, from the device itself handling the categorization, to TTL values attached to requests, to other very clever network sniffing strategies.

From what I can tell, the non-USB OneBlades charge at 4.3V, not 5V.

It’s probably a small enough difference that a 5V charger would work fine for the 4.3V shaver, but it wouldn’t work the other way around.
