I miss my Samsung Alias and Alias 2. They were good times.

Okay that I’m aware of but I’ve never heard of it referred to as “bootstrapping”. Thanks for the explanation.
Firewire was good for high bandwidth devices like external hard drives and video cameras because it didn’t require the CPU to do any heavy lifting. These days USB is mature enough and CPUs are so fast that we (mostly) don’t notice any performance impact but in the Core 2 Duo days you could easily max out one of your two cores with a large file transfer over USB.
My internet being bootstrapped by ISP…
Seriously, what does “bootstrapped” mean in this context?
Edit: if you are going to downvote at least explain if you got a counter point, otherwise it seems y’all just butthurt haha
Okay.
How is this different from US ISP bootstrapping peasant grade internet?
So basically you are getting downvoted because your comment is irrelevant 'Murica bashing.
Now you know.
100,000 rides a week. Impressive.
Nah, Starlink doesn’t reset the Wi-Fi SSID for a firmware update.
They didn’t, the commenter is making things up.
Can’t you simply not connect your display to the Internet
Probably, but maybe not. I can think of three ways a Smart TV could potentially get internet access without the owners knowledge.
So while the owner could choose not to give their Smart TV a wifi connection that doesn’t mean the TV can’t get one another way.
WHO is the one guy who downvotes you???
That’s the bot that ChatGPT operates here on Lemmy.
It’s expensive AF to operate which is why Israel has been working hard on “Iron Beam”, which uses lasers instead of missiles, to supplement it and reduce the cost of operation. Iron Beam is supposed to become active in 2025.
Ukraine doesn’t have Iron Dome because of cost and scale. Israel is 22,145 square kilometers while Ukraine is 603,628 square kilometers. It probably cost 10 Billion to build an Israel sized Iron Dome so a Ukraine sized one would cost upwards of $300 Billion and operating the thing would like be a billion dollars a month for active combat.
As an aside the United States also has ground based directed energy weapons. There’s even a 50KW mobile version built on the Stryker platform called DE M-SHORAD. 100KW+ versions are supposed to be rolling out next year.
One possibility is that Russia can read the encryption. They push, or allow, people to use Telegram because it gives false confidence that messages cannot be read which encourages people to share information they otherwise wouldn’t.
That exact strategy has been employed by the Security and Intelligence services of other nations. Here’s an example from 2021 of the FBI pushing Anom.
The YouTuber asianometry did a video on 3D dram. Very cool.
It’s catty because THEIR satellites won’t be a problem when they start launching in 18 months…it’s only Starlink satellites that will have this problem.
It’s a thinly veiled attempt at slowing down T-Mo and Starlink until Verizon and AT&T are ready to compete. That’s it.
Technology Connections has a video on those.
That’s an odd statement. I had an ext4 partition mounted on a Windows 11 machine just a week ago.
I have a copy of the Alpha Centauri game about 13.6 meters from me.
I’ve already read several comments just like that over on .ml.
Serie A are a bunch of greedy cunt bags trying to re-arrange how the Internet works to try and protect their precious footy matches. Fuck 'em.
Of all the “Feature Phones” I ever had, and I had a bunch, the Alias and it’s successor the Alias II were my easily my favorites.
