Wow.

Who would’ve guessed skynet was purposefully created by the wealthy back when T2 came out amongst us general public?
I was like, “oh that’s so eerie” as a youngster. The truth behind this path has, unfortunately, been both more embarrassing and savage.

CalyxOS works with most banking apps, and is don’t degoogled.
- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 2 weeks ago:
Sure, you get that by default. Firewall only steps in for apps you explicitly block. There’s a toggle for if you want apps blocked by default for you to allow, if you chose.
Point is, it’s a system that just works, stays out of your way and doesn’t phone home to anyone, just as you’d expect.
Whatever you wind up doing, good luck out there and have fun.

I’d recommend CalyxOS as a replacement os.
No google code at all to get full functionality of your hardware (excluding Google pay, but graphene doesn’t have that either.)
Anything you need, e.g. swipe typing or advanced camera features, you can install Google’s versions and block their ability to talk to the internet via the built-in firewall.

- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 2 weeks ago:
It really seemed like my fellow students lost their interest in math as we went through the grades here in the US.
I still remember a kid in 2nd grade who learned how Roman numerals worked because they were interesting. By grade 6, actively detested math.
Curious.

- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 1 month ago:
Thanks dude, well aware they’re looking for an AC signal. The added magnet isn’t going to influence that, is my point.
Besides limited magnetic permeability of the magnet itself (the thing the loop is looking for), it’s physically not big enough. What you really need is an amplified field distortion, e.g. a field coil which reads the sinusoidal signal being emanated by the sense coil, and loudly plays the inverse back so the sense coil thinks a giant block of steel slid over it.
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 1 month ago:
No, it won’t. I invite you to get some large magnets and place them directly on the loop cuts in the street.

Didn’t they try this in Florida and it basically became officers harassing the fuck out of a teenage kind and his mom at all hours of the night?

Somehow 4chan admins have largely escaped legal consequences for this stuff, and I don’t think it’s just because of sec230.
Not a fan of 4chan, but I do note both their and the pirate bay’s operation scheme.
- Comment on Risks of self-hosting a public-facing forum? 2 months ago:
Sounds like hosting outside the US is a possible solution. Many things to be careful of, regardless.
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 2 months ago:
What’s crazy is I’m on the fence about a beeline moto because they have subscription for basic shit like traffic, thinking Garmin would be better.
Welp.

Nah. Fine enough for detail work, but thick enough to handle varying pressure for shading of isometric representations.

Alvin DM07. No other, maybe #3 because I liked that the lead automatically rotated on each press. But Alvin all the way.

Ideally yes, but I’ve had to do this regularly for many services developed both in-house and out of house.
Solve problems, and maybe share your work if you like, I think we all appreciate it.
