There’s probably a better way to do this, but I’ve just started using BLE Radar (F-Droid, Play Store), which can be set up to (among other things) tell you where your phone last saw a particular bluetooth address.
You don’t get the benefit of the tracking network that iPhones, and now Androids, are a part of, and it’s not built into the base system, but it’s FOSS, and your location data stays local.
Billionaire is turbo upsetti that they are forced to pay for something they don’t want to pay for, even if providing that something costs the provider money to provide it to them.
FIFY
Waow. MS can’t decide if their users should have control of their hardware or not.
Your linux bootloader and efi config? That belongs to Windows, and it will make changes as much as it wants. A recovery partition that has no usefulness outside their own ecosystem? Yeah, they know it’s fucked, and they fucked it, but it’s your computer, you fix it!
Old enough to have used checks (barely), young enough to have access to a metric fuckload of free educational material online to cause me to side-eye the student loan industry before getting sucked into it.
Running Arch, so not really exposed, but still had a compromised version installed.
Me: fixes exposure to vuln
Also me: grabs popcorn
This is going to be an interesting story once this all quiets down…
Catima - for saving arbitrary barcodes and stuff that are hard to integrate into other wallets. I keep my local library card in there, and it works wonderfully
Nonocross - fun little game that has zero frills and distractions. Also very responsive on their github to suggestions and improvements
Termux - when I need to get into things from afar, this is how I do it
Box, Box! - Formula 1 news, schedules, standings, etc
Coffee - Sometimes I want to keep the display awake, so this comes in handy
If you’re looking for a name drop, Joplin does nicely for my uses.
I’ve never seen a more accurate description of ElectroBOOM in my entire life.
That and age-gated items like alcohol and [some] medicines. If the one human managing the self-checkout horde is busy, you’re just left waiting.
No, you’ve got it set up right. Many people will have graphs where each character rectangle has open circles for the unused braile dots in the character block.
Pro tip: configure a font that doesn’t show open circles for unused braille characters to have a higher priority than your current font to get better-looking graphs.
On my system, braille characters are provided by DejaVu Serif, and it was as easy as just installing the font.
I’ve had issues with family link staying linked on a steam deck with zero hardware changes, so it could be unrelated to your hardware changes fwiw.
Had a similar moment, but refused to work on the basis of safety, and don’t regret it one bit. Installing speakers on poles for a rooftop bar 20 stories up, and we needed 6-foot ladders to reach the mount. Boss said do the thing, I said you can fuck all the way off until I’m in a harness. Boss didn’t want to wait for the harness that was already on its way, and did it himself.
He knew he’d be turbofucked if it took longer than his boss thought it would take because he didn’t think to bring a harness in the first place, and even more turbofucked if it came to light that he requested we work without it, so he just did it himself to save his own ass. It doesn’t matter if he survived, he was a stupid idiot for stepping one rung up on that ladder without a harness.
For reference, this is the same dude who said that driving 17 hours in a van to a job site was just the same as sitting on the couch at home, so we should feel lucky that we’re getting paid for it. He was not a smart man.
Discussion and suggestions welcome :)
My uncle missed Thanksgiving 2019 because he was in an Arkansas hospital for “untreatable viral pneumonia” and the various complications that came with it. Shit was fucking everywhere already by then.
Yeah, if this isn’t possible, and it’s still in good enough condition to fix and fly, they disassemble the plane and ship it somewhere where it can be reassembled and fixed.
Very unlikely that it’s fixable, though. Only heard of a few cases where it wasn’t more economical to just write it off after a landing like that.
Another factor to consider is how much it’ll cost to actually pull that off, and if it’s not in a very accessible location (like, idk, fucking siberia or something), that adds to the cost of recovery.
WAT.
