What about more extreme cases, say Castaway (movie) type situation. Stranded on an island in middle of nowhere.
But conveniently, one of the packages has a functional 2m battery powered radio and a Yagi too. There’s no one you can make contact with, except… the ISS.
What if the ISS was the only station you could contact?
“Hello International Space Station, I am stranded on an island after a plane crash. Can you help?”


Free Starlink during disasters for everyone, but for surveilence child protection and anti-terrorism you must accept X as a Certificate Authority.


I asked a lecturer some question, I think it was what happens when bit shifting signed integers.
He asked an LLM and read the answer.
Similarly he asked an LLM how to determine memory size allocated by malloc. It said that it was not possible, and that was the answer. But a 2009 answer from stack overflow begged to differ.
At least he actually tried it out when I told him.
But at this point I even had my father send me an LLM written slop that was clearly bullshit (made up information about non-existent internal system at our college), which he probably didn’t even read as he copied everything including “AI answers may be inaccurate.”


I have similar issue with Google.
At some point I used to use Google Photos backups. I wanted to delete the backed up files, but there’s no way to do that. It would also delete them from the devices.
And I guess it checks them based on hash, because even in the main view it always figures out where the files are currently stored, if on device, even after I moved them elsewhere. Otherwise these other images only show up in their respective folders, not the main view.


It works fine with a mouse. I often use my 2-in-1 as a tablet. Instead of scrolling, it just does text selection, and neither does pinch to zoom work. After all, it’s just controlling a mouse pointer under X11.


The default should not be assumed.
It should. Typically it would be a choice between Mullvad DNS and the unencrypted whatever your ISP uses. People who care about DNS (like me) will change that right away (NextDNS in my case). People who just want something easy may not even know what DNS is, or may not care enough.


Doesn’t natively work under Wayland, unfortunately.
As-is, it’s not suitable for a touchscreen device.
And with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 the window buttons are broken.

Dihydrogen monoxide isn’t a good name for water, especially in this context. Hydroxic acid or hydrogen hydroxide make much more sense. Water only splits into O2 and H2 under electrolysis, not due to acid/base chemistry. You have to be actively adding electrons. In solution, it dissociates into ion states as protons H+ and hydroxide OH-.


You can always re-start.


Depends.
I am in uni, so a bit different, but there’s many sites that allow access to articles, studies, books, etc. to us based on source IP. And I guess it could be hard to route only those, especially if some of them decide to use Cloudflare or similar.
Another option is doing so for easier monitoring of work devices that people will always try to use for things they’re not supposed to.


You are supposed to look at the road, yet we have roadside billboards.


Perhaps some do. Reddit has or at least had an onion address.
But last I checked, they were blocking Tor IP addresses… even on their onion address. Someone out there had to be smoking something.


I use a calculator and decide what I won’t need based on that in the store.

I say not political because I haven’t studied our politics and I know basically nothing about it. Otherwise I’d get “What’s your opinion on what [name I never heard of] posted on their Facebook profile yesterday morning?”
Perhaps not so specific, but I don’t know the people and what’s going on.
It’s a lot of history, specific events, constantly something new, and I have to study other things too.

Because that’s far harder to use, and this can turn it from impossible to possible. Though it should be marked as AI (and art from humans should be credited too if not OC).
The idea is still someone’s.
