Hi all, the private school I work at has a tonne of old windows 7/8 era desktops in a student library. The place really needs upgrades but they never seem to prioritise replacing these machines. Ive installed Linux on some older laptops of mine and was wondering if you all think it would be worth throwing a light Linux distro on...
A lot of weight on the wheel isn’t a good idea. Please don’t make up anything. A conventional motor wheel and an external battery is the most successful solution for converting a bicycle.
Rough, but it makes sense. Instead of electrifying a crappy Walmart bike, people should just spend that money on a decent road bike. Most people have no idea how fast a good mechanical bike can be.
Type C can’t spin 360°. I have a 90-degree 3.5mm jack, which doesn’t create a risk of breaking the port, so I can put my phone in my pocket in any position.
Hurts waterproofing, phone slimness and design
Check out the Sony Xperia 10. It’s the smallest phone on the market with a 3.5mm jack, micro SD slot, 5000 mAh battery, and IP68 rating.
Nothing was taken away. It’s literally just combined with another port now.
Haha, remember 2000s, when most phones were using proprietary connector for both charging and headphones output? Everyone hated that stuff.
PostmarketOS devs have made huge improvements over the past year. Now it can be used for daily driving. Some functions do not work simply due to the lack of drivers.
I mean that phones had combo port both for charging and headphones. Using adapters was annoying. And if you saying that 3.5mm is obsolete than why newest Macbooks have 3.5mm port?
Not really from a privacy concern, that’s simply a bonus, more of a reliability/convenience interest. Even if internet/mobile internet is out for some reason, being able to easily text across local network would be nice....

I always say into the microphone of my smartphone, “I know you’re listening to me.” If they are really listening to me, they will get scared. And if not, no one will know about it.
Maybe debit card would also work, but why they need this info at all? I wanted to create new issue for app, but Gitlab required card details. I had to write to the developer in Matrix.
Edit 2: to everyone suggesting an SDD: i know. Look, if this guy had enough $$$ for an SSD, he could buy a used lappy less than half the age of this one that has an ssd and 2-3x the memory....
I honestly don’t believe I will have any legal trouble because I don’t do anything like cp or worse, I just pirate media I like, not even porn. But across users of communities, or on public trackers, is IP exposure something to be concerned about?
To find out my real IP address, you need to contact a hosting provider that is registered in a country with laws that allow it not to cooperate with authorities.

Torrenting exposes your public IP. In a country where government doesn't care, does that pose a risk?
