Yeah, 6gb RAM is CRAZY! It’s almost like you’d have to buy a computer that’s at least 15 years old to get that!

What the hell is wrong with these people giving us free software for free and then having the audacity to expect us to pay more than $32 for a computer to run it!

THE NERVE!

I’m very well aware, but the apple folks tend to be a LOT more dogmatic and vocal. When people talk shit about android, nobody really cares. Do it to apple? Jfc.

I am pointing this out because the current mess will never change for the better until apple users stop supporting apple. No, you dont have a lot of choices, but stop signaling support for them. Get mad and demand better. Be vocal about THAT.

All the apple fans out down voting today…

FYI this may not be the time to take allegiance with them if you at all understand what is going on.

Not to defend it, but the first time I encountered the term was when BlackBerry released their Playbook tablet. It ran their bbos10 and they created an android emulator so you could run some android apps. The process of installing the apk into the emulator was called sideloading.

I miss BlackBerry is all I really wanted to say.

That is by design.

With an actual computer, you have a lot more options in terms of how you can handle the content. They don’t own your PC (yet) but they do own the mobile market and the operating system entirely.

You don’t have any form of root/admin access on a mobile device of any type nor any other device (tv box, game console, tablet, etc). For the handful that have jailbroken or rooted their phones, many apps don’t work (by design of course). You can do it, but you’ll break a ton of stuff in the process. That’s enough to keep causals from doing it and leaves the tiny group of hardcore dorks that are willing to live with the complexities that are required.

I’m going to put on my tinfoil hat and say this is what keeps any real attempt at a Linux phone in the gutter. If people had a choice for their mobile operating system and the freedom to do what they want with it, the big tech companies would shit a brick. They’ve already removed the ability to block ads on mobile devices for the vast majority, they’re finally getting what they wanted (save the handful of Firefox users left).

Linux phones won’t be a thing until there is hardware for them. With apple/google phones, the manufacturers will not release the necessary software so that is needed for a 3rd party OS. Google and Apple will make sure that anyone who makes hardware for them are legally tied to keeping that software tightly closed. Even if someone did manage to reverse engineer it, it would be a herculean effort and would break as soon as a new release is out (or if one of the manufacturers “accidentally” released some exploit code for the reverse engineered drivers).

It’s an ugly world these greedy fucks have made for us.

That’s kind of the point. Only target crime by poor brown people as they can’t afford lawyers.

Try putting a surveillance system in a corporate boardroom and see how that goes over.

I will bet this new model does amazing things that have never been seen before! This is going to be super super cool and i am going to wait in a very long line to get one. It will totally be worth it when I can show it off and people will be able to recognize it since it will be very different from all the other models.

It will be stupid, but I presume there will be a rise in desktop apps or webapps that require you to only plug the phone in and it will handle the rest.

Donate to the project. Graphene is run by a very small group of people who are very good at automation.

I don’t think they could effectively produce a whole new platform unless they had a lot more help.

If you value privacy, gonna have to crack open the wallet or volunteer to help.

If we just hope someone will save us, we are going to be very disappointed.

I would have rather seen the development of BBOS10. It was so far ahead of its time.

That whole thing we do with swipe gestures to navigate the android interface? Yeah BBOS had that years ago.

I miss my Passport.

It is unoriginal because meta already did it! They directly referenced meta in their description.

Tl;dr two over privileged teenage psychopaths stole a stupid idea from Meta/google that was hated by many and are going to make it worse by going all-in on the reasons people hate them.

Let’s get these guys some money!!!

Fuck these talentless twerps.

Privacy matters. If it didnt, bathrooms would not have doors.

I do not understand people who use their garage to store useless crap and leave their car outside. The car is more valuable than the crap.

Dump all that useless junk into a dumpster. Get a bike shed, put the mower in it too.

The garage is for cars, not bikes, mowers or trash nobody cares about.

Looking at you California.

In the us, home chargers will typically run on 240 volts, similar to a dryer or electric stove.

The amperage can be as low as 16 amps (not common) and up to 40 amps. There are higher amperage chargers, but they’re not super common. Most homes dont have that much capacity provisioned and adding it to the breaker box means new circuits and often the power company has to provide a higher capacity meter. It gets expensive.

Since volts x amps = watts, a 240 volt charger that operates at 40 amps will charge at 9600 watts or 9.6 kilowatts (maximum).

You can charge using a standard 120v outlet, most are rated for 15 amps. However, you will get 120v x 15a = 1800 watts or 1.8 kilowatts (maximum).

Used to make tarpits with reverse proxies. Accept the connection and then set the responses for a few seconds before default TCP timeout. Doesn’t eat much resource as long as you have enough TCP connections and can reuse them effectively.

It will be true if people are unwilling to put in a little effort to demand better or stop using windows.

You want your games to run on something else? Don’t buy them until they do. Sadly, most people are 100% unwilling to delay that instant gratification and sacrifice even the smallest convenience.

That’s how we got here. You cannot expect change if you are unwilling to do anything to make it happen.

This is why sloth is a deadly sin.

That was my first thought, like what the fuck, I don’t want my OS creeping on all my shit.

It won’t matter, they will serve slop and most people will happily eat it.

A lack of even basic technology literacy hurts everyone so much. Most people have zero clue how their stuff works and zero interest to learn. Its easy to manipulate an ignorant population as we see again and again.

My favorite simple example is “do you shit with the door open? No? OK then privacy does have value–for all involved.”

There are also hand held radios, strobelights, flares, and PLBs that do not require more satellite infrastructure.

People being lost in the wilderness is not a new problem. It often happens because people don’t bother to consider that they might get lost and plan appropriately.

Sorry, but not everyone gets to come home, especially if they don’t do a little planning.
