It is probably fake, but if my wife wanted to check the call history and suddenly the phone gets broken, she would get more suspicious than a just “It’s not powering on anymore”
Lol for real, if you can open the phone to put the note in, you could easily just factory reset it and smash or zap a few things before shipping it, or like be a real fucking human being and be honest with your wife
It’s clearly fake because that’s not how the display comes off the device when you do this repair. You lift it from the top and keep the display cables connected, and only disconnect the battery cables.
Been there, it’s not fun. Transitioned the new HPC cluster from redhat to suse. Switched to Centos after a few years on suse due to pricing and their software becoming more and more unstable. The following cluster got CentOS from the start and then got migrated to rocky after they switched Centos to rolling release. It’s not easy running this stuff…
we’ve transitioned before from CentOS 7 to Rocky 8 and it was not too bad, mostly just a good amount of planning and testing. we’ve got about 160,000 cores between 2 clusters (1277 nodes that i help manage, and 825 that are located at a facility that handles hardware for us) – fortunately I do primarily hardware work so don’t deal with the software headaches myself, and the people that do are very capable - but typically you’ll have incompatibilities, and a lot of user support stuff for the first couple weeks until things smooth out.
I always hear opensuse is a really great distro with features and lot of gui accessible settings (starting services, and apps,etc) not available anywhere else, really good stability and the latest packages unlike any Debian based distro, but in the same time they say it’s not newbie friendly so am kinda not sure if i want to use it.
I would say there’s a lot that makes it a good choice for new users. Yast itself gives you a lot of admin tasks in a gui. You have btrfs with snapshots out the box. The installer allows you to install multiple de’s and enable propriety software. Obs let’s you find everything you need software wise. The biggest issue is knowing it’s all there.
I have an iPhone 12 mini and my only complaint is that the folks who create UI or content have zero interest in making sure it all actually looks right on “such a tiny screen”.
Everyone (over maybe 19) who sees it in person likes how small it is because they can use the whole screen with one hand, or fit it in their tiny femme pockets. Some younger people ask how I could watch a movie on it but I have the feeling they only think that way because they’ve never had their own living space as an adult. I have zero interest in craning my neck down at my phone or holding my phone up to my eyes for 2 hours or more when I have a better more comfortable TV and Computer for that purpose.
I believe that is due to a lack of advanced camera hardware. I believe SE series all have simple cameras compared to the various(infrared, etc.) multi camera setups that are on the higher end models.
Not entirely, they have restricted access to the source code for paying customers, which is absolutely allowed by the license(s). Whether that’s understandable because they need money too, or unethical because it violates the principles of OSS is up to yourself to decide.
Here’s a nice (non-paywalled) breakdown of the original article and reactions to it. I just managed to get the first few sentences of the WSJ thing (despite disabling Javascript), but between the article and the breakdown, it seems the author picked a baity title to an otherwise uncontroversial (if lacking) analysis of food price inflation.
There’s also an absurd amount of gamer girls entering the space thanks to “cozy desk TikTok” who get a lot of micro electronics and foreign imports, mechanical keyboards, etc. All they would’ve had to have done was offered pink custom keyboards with jade keycaps and make a hobby out of it, and it would’ve been game. Shoot you could even have sold cat ears in the same section.
People, if you want to discuss your fetishes or crimes or whatever you want around a smart speaker, just unplug the damn thing. It's not that hard. I got them all over the house because I'm an automation geek but I'm well aware of what I say around them. With a Pihole on the network, I don't get targeted ads either.
Also, they don't send your audio to their servers 24/7. I've verified this myself with Wireshark. That would be a hell of a lot of server resources they would need, and they can get info easier just by profiling and fingerprinting you online.
This is all true. The one problem I think they really should change though, is they KEEP the voice data they collect by mistake. When the local device thinks it heard the wake word, but the cloud analysis decided it was not said.
There is ZERO reason to keep that data long term. If they want to analyze it to reduce the incidences of this, MAYBE but then it should work like this:
1: Instantly anonymized
2: Sent into an analysis queue
3: Deleted as soon as analysis is complete (with a pretty short window for mandatory deletion).
It’s technically possible to make your own 100% local smart house with an llm ( i think the best for automated text to api is called gorilla 7b ) using llama.ccp , whisper for transcription and tortoise (it got 10x faster recently ) for realistic lifelike tts. 1 powerful pc is the maestro, multiple raspberry pi l with a 10inch display and a microphone to handle the input part.
Homeassistant apparently are going all in on voice control too with their next round of updates, so hopefully soon I can get rid of the Google Home crap I got now.
I have a smart camera plugged into a different brand’s smart plug in my bedroom. This way we can turn the plug on when we are away and see our cat, but a hacker would be less likely able to see up sleeping. (Also we leave it off by default.)
