I don’t believe you

Good point, I didn’t keep ops display size in mind when i read this comment of “4k is a scam”, which may have been their point.

In my reply, I’m saying 4k isn’t a scam in general.

Using 1440p for 20 years doesn’t mean 4k is a scam

You were so lazy it sounds like you agree with the og comment, not disagree. In essence, I think your comment aligns with the one you are replying to.

(Calling u so lazy is a light hearted joke that joins into my point)

I have done no research, but my guess is it will be a waste of money right now. Any existing linux phones are too new for everything to be figured out. Pricing is likely very high for what you get right now too, since they don’t have the scale yet (and probs other things).

I believe they are mostly an enthusiast type deal at the minute.

With some more time I believe they will become very appealing.

Maybe this type of automation could be improved by letting trains handle the long journey part:

Autonomous truck -> train -> autonomous truck

Then, the automated trucks (that could maybe be dispatched from rail networks when you have cargo to send) dont have to do the long distance part. Only the last couple miles each time from train to warehouse and vice versa.

I’m sure there are complications im missing, but at scale this sounds like a feasible plan.

For shorter haul trips though, trucks are necessary.

If you’re looking at getting a new (used) phone, I would suggest GrapheneOS (the most secure/private de-googled rom afaik).

You need a Pixel phone, the newer you get the longer you will keep getting software updates for the future (if you keep the phone past these many years of support, then I believe switching to a other rom will be required for security patches etc. Each phone is supported until Google stops supporting them I believe). You said you don’t care about updates because you can keep it from connecting to the internet, but it’s a plus anyways.

If you plan on never touching a google service, GrapheneOS allows for that (nothing google by default), but on the other hand, if you need google play, etc for banking apps or whatnot, they have that covered with Sandboxed Google Services (which you can run solely in another user profile on your phone for added privacy).

Anyways, I think GrapheneOS in a great option & their website has much more info if you’d like to continue hearing about it:

https://grapheneos.org/

p.s. you can check their website for how long different pixels will have continued support before (if) you get one (incase anyone else is reading this).

That sounds funny, but In that reality, the government with all its power will find a way in (they probably already have programs (as in departments) for finding their way into other countries tech).

Better to just install a proper de-googled android build (grapheneos, etc) and only use wifi (if data/phone num not needed) for the best odds.

In a couple of years (with more r&d, development and investment) I bet this will change to being use a linux phone.

The recent duckduckgo ad campaign will surely help rescue googlers and so does my mission to ensure everyone I know doesn’t use google search.

Either of us deliberately destroy data: locked up.

Company exec does the same: slap on the butt and a $2 fine.

We should all be on the same playing field!

the only thing I miss is the big preview window in the file manager

I may be misinterpreting you, but I think this is a thing with Dolphin. It has a preview pane, which supports all the file types I commonly interact with (F11), which can be dragged to resize bigger or smaller.

I haven’t used any preview thing on Windows, which is why I think I may be misunderstanding.

Anyways if you haven’t tried Dolphin, maybe it has a solution for you (made by kde project, but I believe it should be installable for any desktop environment).

Lol I agree. The value is horrendous when you spec one of their products to have decent storage/ram, but nevertheless can’t fault the speed of their ARM chips.

I have no source, but I remember seeing a graph of where iPhones sell and places like China/India were 80% android phones (mostly Samsung I think).

I don’t think the asian marketplace puts Apple products in such high regard as the US.

Samsung phones are still premium, I think they appeal more in other countries.

I see what you mean though with 20% of just China being almost the US population, but they are still losing 300m customers.

This support is provided at no cost, reflecting Akamai’s commitment to giving back to the open-source community.

Sounds like it wasn’t a choice so much as one of the biggest CDNs in the world giving a free hand out to a project it relies on itself.

Anyways a lot of companies use Akamai, I don’t think its odd.

Hehe that is funny, sadly I think the US is Apples biggest market, so they probably wouldn’t want to let go and give up any marketshare.

US usually is the most important market for most (international) companies I believe.

underpowered trash

I hate to say it, but it’s actually quite powerful trash that they produce.

Yeah, the numbers are different everywhere, but mosquitoes cause at least 50% of that million.

you are in luck we have the answer: https://youtu.be/aIIBBj6KR-Y

Maybe it’ll be fun enough that we’ll simply forget to explore it’s depths YAY

fun fact: animals, exluding humans, kill about 1 MILLION of us humans a year, most of which are not sea animals.
