Law enforcement have tools to bypass lockscreens and access the data on the device. They use backdoors and exploits, so older phones are more vulnerable. Most exploits only work if the phone has been unlocked at some point since it was booted.

This is why law enforcement keep them powered-on, and in a faraday cage. They are in a state with a better chance of unlock, but have no signal so nobody can remotely find/lock/wipe it.

18 hours by default.

You mean “Microsoft Terminal Services Client”?

That’s hilarious. I haven’t been able to enable IPv6 since the August update. The machine just spins to 100% CPU across every core like a forkbomb.

It pissed me off because my home network is built IPv6-first.

If my work pushes 24H2 I’ll just have to disable both :/

I’m waiting for the part that it gets used for things that are not lazy, manipulative and dishonest. Until then, I’m sitting it out like Linus.

WebP is basically the format used to store i-frames in WebM/VPx videos. Google acquired on2 technologies for this tech many years ago, and it was to stop W3C from standardising a patent encumbered codec like H.265. These were all well intentioned.

WebP / WebM has all been superceded by AV1 / AVIF anyway. It never really took off, and it’s too late to start now.

Australia banned half a million active devices from their mobile networks today. It must be a new trend.

PlexAmp is an amazing bit of software for a phone. It doesn’t translate well to the desktop, but it’s still pretty good.

Your flacs will play lossless on wifi, and transcode to 128kbps opus on mobile. You can tweak those settings too.

Most smart TVs have a native plex app available too.

Teslas aren’t exactly long-range rural cars. Correcting for mileage would only increase the crash rates.

However, being city cars, they probably have high operational hours.

Tesla Drivers Have the Highest Crash Rate of Any Brand

Tesla also had the lowest DUI rate. They’re not intoxicated, they’re just crap drivers.

The same logic can explain why Teslas crash so often. You turn on all the assists, and eventually forget how to change gears.

If it leaves your device, you cannot control it.

I haven’t financed a phone since 2008. I copped a fee for ending a 24 month contract a day early.

I just buy a cheap outright handset, flash a community ROM and avoid everything my telco offers past a $20 basic service. Handsets with community support go for years past what the manufacturers support.

A monitor is an output device. It cannot transmit or operate on a network. (inb4 ethernet over HDMI: There is no implementation of the spec in the wild).

If there’s any ad tracking, it would have to be in your display driver on the PC.

I would imagine that any x64 binary compiled to work with both chipsets would only use the instructions that are common between them. This would mean there’s not much gain in developing a new insutruction unless both companies support it.

I’m sure there’s some super-optimised stuff out there that targets extra instructions when they’re available, but it’s very rare.

This is why it breaks. It’s not a streaming CDN. Do you torrent over tor as well?

It’s just that Bing/DDG seem to promote news from these sites as if they’re sponsored links… but without the disclosure.

I prefer DDG, but I hate the news search. 90% of the results are paywalled.

Oh, and sometimes the image search will return a pile of porn for a seemingly clean search request. I once searched for “R34 Skyline” expecting Nissans, and got VERY different results without safe search.
