They were talking about Nova, not Lawnchair. Nova hasn’t officially been abandoned, but they were purchased by a big data broker a few years ago, and just a few months ago Branch (Nova’s owner) laid off almost all of the Nova Launcher development team.

Nova is not dead, but the writing is on the wall.

But that’s not a burner phone, that’s an off phone.

burner goes from your house, to abortion clinic, to your office, back to your house

Hmm, must be someone else, I don’t recognize this number

Similar, but lighting system as a sleep tool. Lights start off warm white and slowly dim to amber / red, then off at the push of a button every night.

How’s about a patent that expires 5 years after its first use by a billion+ dollar company? 5 years after it is used in more than 10,000 products? 5 years after its licensing has yielded over $1M in profit? 5 years after spending over $100k on advertising? 5 years after your first major court settlement?

I think there are ways to protect individual innovators but also lessen patent abuse

It’s a poor analogy, but imagine a public IP like a hotel, there can be lots of guests (clients) at this hotel. Hotel policy is they won’t let any outsiders in unless you know the room number (port) of the person you’re trying to reach.

Imagine you and a friend are staying in separate hotels and want to give each other copies of your favorite Linux .ISOs, but neither of you knows the other’s room number - you show up at the hotel and the front desk tells you to pound sand because you don’t have their room number.

As long as one of you knows the other’s room number though, you can meet.

Torrenting without port forwarding means you can only trade your favorite .ISOs with people who have port forwarding enabled (sharing their room number to the tracker), which makes you less effective of a seeder. Enabling port forwarding allows you to share with anyone (sharing your room number with the tracker).

All of the banks I’ve used in the past utilize email or SMS for 2FA, which isn’t the must secure, but doesn’t require an app.

It looks like you’re missing the “Manage shared info” section and “Personalized Shopping” link, which yields the above toggle for me (CA, US)…

The question is, is it gone because your privacy laws make it impossible to even offer, or because your privacy laws don’t require them to care about your opinion at all?

Sure, there are risks, but if the alternatives are pony up $100k for a new exosuit, or just don’t fucking walk again, I see why repair is an enticing option.

I’ve started choosing the companies I use based much more on the experience offered when their product/service DOESN’T work, rather than when it does.

Easy to do for a cell phone or a toaster, but I can’t imagine there’s a ton of options for exosuits that correct your condition, covered by your insurance, that your doctor is familiar enough with to prescribe (for lack of a better term).

Some things are annoying to make abandonware, and some things should be criminal.

If these companies are marketing their AI as being able to provide “answers” to your questions they should be liable for any libel they produce.

If they market it as “come have our letter generator give you statistically associated collections of letters to your prompt” then I guess they’re in the clear.

The problem is these AI companies currently exist on the business model of not paying for information, and that generally includes not wanting to pay content curators.

Google is probably the only one in a position to potentially outsource by making everyone solve a “does this hand look normal to you” CAPTCHA

They can try and train AI to detect AI, but that’s also difficult.

Both true statements. The banking apps that don’t work aren’t because google wallet doesn’t work, but because they use the same trust policies that Wallet requires in order to run (which GrapheneOS cannot meet because its not a “trusted” OS, per Google)

<end of list>

Some banking apps allegedly don’t work but i have never encountered one. If your bank has a mobile accessible website, it’s basically a non-issue.

Also a good way to wear down your SD port if you remove this with any regularity.

This is fantastic! Now I know exactly which manufacturer to avoid at all costs, AND they’ve made it harder for their competition to use this shitty system. Dear Ford, please keep patenting bad ideas.
