I actually really like Philips with slot because it’s just a Philips with a slot for when the Philips gets stripped so the two on the bottom right corner are the best in my opinion because if one ether the flat head or the Philips gets stripped you can just grab a ratchet or spanner
If you have a quality bit and quality fastener it’s quite difficult to cam out a Phillips. The issue is that finding quality bits and fasteners can be difficult and expensive so most people have experience with the homeowner grade which cams out easily without a huge amount of pressure.
They make bad screw heads but the drivers themselves are useful for so many random odd-jobs that you can basically be guaranteed to find a flathead that’ll fit your screw within a few seconds of searching near basically any tools
Because of that many cheaper companies use flats for their screws, though I almost never see it in anything bigger than the little ass plugs we use in doorknobs and electrical socket covers. Once you go bigger than those it’s usually a Phillips/flat combo, or torx if you’re spending some extra cash
Oh god yeah I still use flat screwdrivers on a daily basis, basically as levers
“Little ass plugs” are called “grub screws” btw 😂
In 30 years you’ll catch up and they’ll all be 2.5mm Allen screws. I do remember them being slotted, it was a massive pain to find a screwdriver that fitted!
On the day he won, he was accused for being a right-wing advocate on front page, but for some unknown reason those articles disappeared in just couple of hours.
En kyllä todellakaan jaksanu lukea sitä :D menin iltalehden etusivulle ja ensimmäisenä vastassa otsikko jotakuinkin “huomasitko viisufinaalissa? Windows95Man ja äärioikeistolainen symboliikka” Ei sanasta sanaan noin, mutta noita sanoja käyttäen.
Pari tuntia myöhemmim yritin etsiä uutista näyttääkseni sen kaverille mutta ei löytynyt enää mistään.
Todennäköisesti. Hakkasin googlea jo silloin samana iltana kun sen alunperin näin, mutten löytänyt sitä enää silloinkaan. Täysin turha kohuotsikko se oli.
I still don’t understand why people would want iOS if you plan to do off-brand stuff like sideload non apple appstore applications. You are just torturing yourself just so you can still have an iPhone.
So, I’m 17 and my Dad is an Apple fanboy. He started using Macs back in the '90s, and he’s always been using their stuff. Over the years, he’s managed to get my mum and her parents to ditch Android, and his parents to move on from their RAZRs. Now that everyone has iPhones, I have no hand-me-down routes. I have asked to get an Android, using my own money that I earned, but he always brings up the same arguments:
“Androids are inherently less secure than iPhones”
“We all use iPhones”
“Apple’s proprietary ecosystem just works”
“I had an Android once. Once.”
“Are you just trying to stop the Find My tracking? What if I need to find you?”
That last one could easily be misinterpreted. It’s an emergency thing; he’s not spying or anything. Don’t worry.
I have an old Android in a drawer somewhere, but it’s running 4.4, it isn’t supported by any ROMs, and the battery barely lasts half an hour, so there’s no point in trying to get it to work.
I’ll also be going to university this year, so I should be able to get a cheap Pixel on eBay and flash GrapheneOS onto it soon enough.
I also fell into the Mac ecosystem back when OSX 10.1 & 10.2 came out. A reliable system that was actually innovative and looked nice! Runs on Unix, similar to the rock solid freeBSD I’d been in the process of exploring! Difficult to hack, fast, easy to program!
Then the changes started. Someone put a fresh out of the box Mac on the internet, “if you can hack this machine, it’s yours!”. I think they popped it in about 30 minutes.
You couldn’t get into certain areas of the OS any longer, by design of apple.
Before you know it, you have a sports car of a computer or phone, but it won’t go where you want it to. That’s why I refuse to get in.
All to say: android has some pretty rough edges, but with graphene or my preference CalyxOS, you have hardware that’s fast, as secure as you decide you want it to be (with the added inconvenience that can add) and for less than you’d pay for your parent’s gilded cage. If you’d like, a good counterpoint to your dad’s “security” claim is the fact that Android code is fully visible for all to see.
If you’d like to maintain quality video/voice calls that are also fully encrypted in an open-source manner between Android and Apple, I’ve got my family using Signal messenger. Just to avoid that irritating ‘blue/green bubble’ discussion.
Good luck to you in your future endeavours, you don’t have to win every fight, you only have so much energy. But do talk and research the points that matter to you, including being free to use the hardware you paid for as you personally deem fit.
There are arguments for both. At the end, the phone will make calls and text out. The rest is up to user interface and permissions. I just prefer the permissions of an android vs the restrictions of ios
There’s loads of people who prefer iPhone and would sideload if allowed but it’s not a deal-breaker. I prefer iOS and Apple hardware but refuse to buy one without sideloading.
My S24 Ultra is arriving tomorrow, but I’ll likely be buying the iPhone 16 if it comes with sideloading.
So Apple is gaining a customer, I’ve been eyeing the MacBooks too ever since the M1 came out so might end up pulling the trigger on one of those as well.
I got an iPad and those are pretty great. A lot of great (paid) apps that work extremely well on tablets. That’s the benefit of having to develop for only so many devices, I guess. Now I don’t use it much these days, but I am definitely gonna try out sideloading. It’s probably gonna take some time to have anything to sideload tho.
That completely depends on what’s updating, and I haven’t seen software updates as frequent occurrences. The frequency may be something I’m missing, of course.
Maybe it’s just the only way I learned to play, but armored core 3 I found only the floating legs were very viable. Then I would equip self aimed missiles and found arena quite simple. The missions you could use different set ups, but I could never win arena much with any other legs.
In 2 and (I think) 3, there was a fifth class of legs called "hover" that basically acted like quads do in hover mode in AC6, but bound to the ground unless you boosted. IIRC, they had the easiest time getting airborne from a boost, but had no unboosted jump. Basically, they were faster treads that could move sideways.
