Actually, uasp over USB 3.0 provides performance comparable to an internal sata 3 port (625MB/s vs 750MB/s respectively). With your run of the mill TLC or QLC SSD writing at ~500MB/s in short bursts, you're never going to saturate either connection, and I highly doubt any performance difference will be noticeable to the user.

You can, you'd need an SMD rework station though because you have to remove the storage, write a new serial number to it, and resolder it back.

It's not ideal, but it's also a straight list of things that are not allowed unlike most social media with vague rules that can be applied to anyone the owners of the site want to get rid of. Instead of "no 'hate speech'" which as we know anything can be 'hate speech" he just gives list of words or phrases that are not allowed. The only other company I know that comes close to this is Microsoft which at least gives examples of words/phrases that are allowed and even context.

There was no intentional backdoor, iOS is just insecure as fuck. No joke security brokers will barely pay for iOS exploits anymore because the market is so flooded with them.

The Pedo Potato will pitch it to "end online extremism" and the left will eat it up without questions.

Yes. Simply due to fact that the routes that normally transit through those countries would experience extra load that they normally wouldn't have to. Maybe not so much China but India for sure.

That 70% of traffic includes other countries, yes there are backup routes that could kick in but the internet would still be crippled.

> Ashburn, Virginia No, that would have taken out vast swaths of the internet. You may think the internet is this huge decentralized and super redundant network that can withstand pretty much anything, but there are quite a few choke points that if attacked can cripple it. Virginia is one of such choke points and 70% of internet traffic flows through there.

Imagine still using Whatsapp.

Yeah, but they take it to the next level by running it on their own Loki network which is basically like TOR. You can set up a Loki node and there are .Loki sites just like TOR. Meanwhile Signal operates on the clearweb.

> When Odysee rolls out live streaming twitch will be a thing of the past. Twitch is owned by Wokazon, it's too big to fail.

Use CutTheCord it has a way to bypass the need to have Gapps.

Depends on what you want, iirc even Google Maps is working on MicroG now. Remember that GrapheneOS **is** based on Android so Android apps will install just fine.

I would bet money the CCP can peek in at that userdata at any time too.

Because you actually have a private device, plus the UI is literally going to be the same as the Pixels and if you really want to you can install MicroG to have some Google on your phone.

Unless they purge the Discord admin team.

Guilded doesn't have anything equivalent to BetterDiscord though. I like my themes and plugins and if Guilded releases an official storefront (Like Discord promised but never delivered on) it would be a Discord killer.

Hopefully they fire all the furfags and ban any and all furry related servers with appeals open to ones who are not sharing furry CP.

I question how true that actually is though. I wonder if it's bloated by people using Google Maps which of course is going to result in traffic from your device to Google.

There already is, buy a Pixel and flash GrapheneOS. Not only is that a deGoogled ROM, but Pixels are one of the only Android phones where you can sign an OS with your own keys and relock the bootloader on those user keys; GrapheneOS utilizes this feature.

Yet Apple is allowed to operate in China and Google is not (Google Maps over there is operated by a Chinese company under license), so that really says a lot on which company is more privacy-friendly. [Apple doesn't actually care about your privacy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shxTTon5lfs).

Comments are turned off I am surprised ratings are not, that ratio tho. Ouch. The funny thing is this guy almost has a point, he is literally mere feet from the point but jumps away at the last second for some reason. Toxicity is an issue in gaming communities, but not in the way the left portrays it. The toxicity issue stems from the fandoms that spring up from those games which usually become quickly infested by leftists who'll attack, harass, dox, etc if you create a piece of fanart they don't like, or create an OC they don't like; and the death knell for a fandom when the leftist take over and start becoming exclusive against anyone who isn't also a leftist, you're not simply allowed to enjoy the game anymore you have to mix it with leftist politics. It reminds me of the comic series from Gprime with that SJW chick bitching that the game is not "inclusive" enough only to shove her way in, make up her own rules, then exclude everyone who doesn't want to play by those rules.

As much as that looks sus, I don't think you can fit this into muh juice. Once this tech evolves to work on humans it basically makes women obsolete, why would lefties want to do that? They can already convert a sperm cell to an egg cell and once you combine it with this, well....

Well then.

+1 for Bitwarden, plus you can self-host.

Wait what? Storing passwords in plaintext is an automatic unforgivable fail. Honestly even unsalted hashes is a huge fail imo. I've actually changed doctors in the past because when I hit "forgot password" on the patient portal they just emailed me my password.

Nah you have to install Gentoo and spend at least 24 hours tweaking cflags for max cool points. /s

If you go with an ARM Chromebook its longevity after they lose support is up in the air. x86 Chromebooks do come with Coreboot pre-installed though which is a plus, my wife flashed a custom Coreboot build on hers which gimps IME and includes Tianocore so her laptop is full open source at least as far as the boot process is concerned. She uses Arch btw.

FWIW my Asus C201 I got in like 2014 still works to this day, and I have Archlinux running on it rather happily though I imagine my luck is mostly due to the fact I sprung for the 4GB model, you can't do shit with 2GB of RAM.

**Laughs in Vivaldi and Librewolf**

Patent laws are cancer.

Given that the "flagship instance" of this software is Raddle, that'll never happen. Also how would a Reddit style site work with Activitypub anyway? AP is typical social media structure with posts and comments, while this is a link aggregator which is structured entirely different with posts being regulated to sub-forums. Hell does AP even support "communities" at this point?

I don't think I would want to use a piece of software developed by the guys behind Raddle.

You're talking about the baseband. That's a black box that not even Google has control over, in fact Google doesn't really have control over the CPU hence why even Pixels only get 3 years of OS updates.

An OS update cannot take up more storage than what is allocated to the system partition without repartitioning the device. This is actually why older devices like the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 have to be repartitioned to continue to flash custom ROMs, basically you steal space from another partition to increase the size of the system partition. This is a risky thing to do and you can't actually shrink f2fs partitions (which most Android phones use nowadays) so I doubt any OEM has actually implemented this in an OTA update.

If they had head pumps I could see the appeal at least, but they have electric resistive heat for the most part down there so you're best off just sitting in your car with its heater running.

I just don't see how anyone would want to waste charge cycles like that, I would never use my Model 3 as a battery bank like that.

Why would you want to do that in the first place? While it may seem like a good idea in a pinch, you should save your car whether it be an EV, hybrid, plugin hybrid, ICE, etc for transportation to be able to obtain supplies.

They have use "alleged" for legal reasons.

C'mon do an IPO. Cloudflare was stonks so I want another one to sink my investments into.

It's working on my end.

Firefox can be made into a secure browser, but so can pretty much any browser which is why we have Librewolf and Ungoogled Chromium so why spend time tweaking Firefox when you can install a fork that did all the work for you?

Damn, Nvidia would have likely been a great thing for ARM. If AMD or Intel buys it that defeats the purpose, and fuck letting a Chinese company buy it. Injected Chinese spyware at the silicon level for all ARM at that point EDIT: Oh and China is the reason this fell through, imagine my shock!

Actually Stadia performed pretty good in Sniper Elite 4 and whatever racing game they had (don't remember too lazy to look it up). I did feel it more in the latter game but it was to the point I could adjust. The only game that will actually never be feasible imo are side-scrolling fighter games ala Mortal Kombat, you need ultra precise control over them which any amount of added latency will ruin.

There is no law of physics preventing it from working, data even over copper travels near the speed of light and light can zip around the planet 7 times per second, it's the switching that slows things down a bit. In fact ping times are already pretty good for cloud gaming, hell when I played Stadia on a hardwired Chromecast I could barely feel the difference vs playing native. Stadia was DOA because of the pricing model, it should have been a Netflix for streaming (much like Xcloud is) rather than having to buy games.

Rotlmfao sure sure, let's put your iPhail "Pro" 12 Max up against my OC'd Ryzen 9 5950X and see which one does better.

X to doubt.

Yes it does on both the Macbook M1 Air and the Macbook M1 Pro, it does not throttle on the Mac M1 Mini.

Until it thermal throttles and cuts down to half its normal performance which even the M1 Macbook Pro will do. I like ARM but Apple is not going to be the one to make ARM widespread.

The M1 will be irrelevant in a year anyway since their special sauce is simply adding x86 instructions to the silicon rather than a full software emulation layer (which can be replicated and improved). At least people have gotten Linux to boot on it so there will be some use out of those Macbooks when Apple drops them in a year or two.

Didn't the CCP dump Windows actually and move onto forking Ubuntu (IIRC)?

Which is amazing because most normies simply use their OS as a bootloader for their web browser. I bet you could replace someone's Windows install with Linux, rice it out to look like Windows 10, install their usual browser, and they wouldn't even notice.

Ubuntu had its time in the light but it's over now imo. There's more and more focus on gaming on Linux as an alternative to Windows and Ubuntu is simply too out of date to handle that. Sure you can add on PPAs to bring it more up to date but in my experience once you start adding PPAs Ubuntu starts to spiral. There are simply better and more up to date distros like Manjaro and PopOS which is going to be even more important with Linux Syscall User Dispatch debuting soon.

This isn't even the first time Youtube has done this either.

Robinhood is directly tied to these hedge funds though, so it's not like they fought against the pressure before caving in.

I would look up solid state batteries and/or LCBs. There is nothing preventing batteries from becoming denser in terms of storage capacity.

Actually there are already several proposed solutions to the battery issue with some pretty close to market release.

I daily drive a Model 3 and I've even taken a trip to Colorado with it, it's about to the point there's enough at least Level 2 chargers that you don't have to worry about where your next plug is. I think I've had to use the backup charger once in my life, at a hotel and since the dryer wasn't working they let me plug it into that outlet (you can plug into a standard 120v outlet too, but the 240v outlet powering a dryer is faster).

Even if they did there's ways around that, either take a photo of the screen cringe style or there's root methods of capturing screenshots of apps that have that flag set.

That doesn't prevent a snitch from taking a screenshot of the conversation and reporting it.

It uses Lokinet which is a TOR-like network, so I guess it is federated in a way?

> Bernstein Every goddamn time.

Session just uses Lokinet and there are already Docker containers for that.

With these people demanding something turns into forcing the company to do it.

Well Apple is shit all around and was literally almost bankrupt at several points in time so....

Isn't this the site that's been down for years at a time?

> I don't go to Walmart. I live in Europe which gives me the unique ability (compared to burgers, anyway) to consider more than my own lucky circumstances. Ok well Aldi or what's it called? Asda.

Yeah just ignore that pesky nuclear waste issue and the fact that nuclear plants need external power sources to function (and get pretty dangerous should they lose said external power source). Do you actually think the sun just never shines anywhere except a few square miles of the planet or something, that my one plot of land is the only place that gets sun? Are you also the type of person that knee jerks when they see a Tesla parked at Walmart?

Here's an amazing factoid that you might not know, no one is suggesting solar works for everyone. Just because you live in an apartment complex and may not be able to benefit yourself does not mean it's a gimmick, that's like saying nuclear power is a gimmick because you don't get your power from nuclear. Oh and by the way, I am a huge supporter of nuclear, but solar offers a great supplement to nuclear fission and potentially fusion in the future. I also like hydropower, but I guess that's a scam/gimmick too because not everyone can use it!

The credits I get from my utility company (government operated as most are) are so small they barely make a dent in the bill, I just don't use power from them and in fact I would hazard a guess I could disconnect if local regulation did not mandate that I had to be physically connected to power. Funnily enough when we had a tornado play hopscotch throughout the neighborhood people were pretty happy with my "gimmick" considering I was the only person with power and by extension AC and refrigeration, you do realize these things called "batteries" exist right?

I would hardly call solar power a "gimmick" I think a lot of people's perceptions are damaged by green scams like "solar roadways." I have a solar install myself and some months I don't even have a power bill due I have a credit.

You do realize just like every other driver assistance tool it requires the driver to have their hands on the wheel, right? Granted some people are putting weights on the wheel to thwart that, but that's on them not Tesla.

Mastodon is infested with SJWs though and the lead dev is on record saying that he created it because "Twitter doesn't censor enough"
