Despite Sundar’s leadership, do you think that extending update support to 7 years took no innovation? The Android team has been doing major system reworks to make this practical. The Tensor team has been working to do the same on the hardware side. Samsung is likely reusing firmware and software from that work given that the hardware is shares a lot of Samsung IPs. Prior to these developments Samsung was not interested in providing anywhere close to this length of support.
Android is in the best place it’s ever been since its release. It’s on more things than ever and we have the kind of update support we used to only dream about in 2008. And we have devices with unlockable and rekockable bootloaders. 🤯
You’re describing the standard neoliberal argument for free trade. It kinda makes sense on the surface, if you don’t consider its externalities such as its impacts on labor and domestic aggregate demand. Luckily you don’t have to guess what their effects are as you can see many of them in the US today. For example the rise of Trump and the desire to do away with the remains of the American democracy. Walking down that path to its end likely won’t result in maximum EVs in people’s hands.
Context: my ebike has 19mm nuts on the rear axle (and 15mm on the front). I have an old Proto wrench that’s a 15mm/18mm, so i’m wondering if i could replace the rear nuts with 18mm nuts instead, so i can carry around one less wrench....
That’s a 90Nm motor according to the spec sheet which is somewhat realistic for 1000W hub. Unless it’s got a torque arm, you need every bit of clamping force you can get to keep that axle from rocking or spinning out under load. This is controlled by the nut surface area and material. If there’s no torque arm, I wouldn’t fuck with it.
In order to avoid having to remove the rear wheel often, I’d buy a rear tire with really good puncture protection. I had an episode when I had to remove my rear hub several times in a month because I used Panaracer GravelKing which turned out to have really weak protection. I switched to a version with protection and I haven’t had to remove my hub due to punctures. Having to torque the nuts to 50Nm isn’t fun.
Not familiar with the bike but what could it be - square taper, ISIS? Not sure if ISIS is that old. If it’s square taper, there’s plenty of options. The lower end Shimano cranks (Alivio, Acera) used to use square taper. They probably still do.
Looked at a pic of Biopace, looks like square taper.
Exactly. Probably many more than 7. And the fact that Amazon somehow doesn’t carry any responsibility while profiting from the letter soup brands directly and indirectly is mind boggling.

Ubuntu LTS is likely the easiest to live with for a layperson. It’s got the stability, support and it’s got the biggest body of information for how to do things and solve problems as well as the most users using it who can help. Ubuntu LTS derivatives would inherit a lot of that but not all. The changes made to turn Ubuntu into Kubuntu for example invalidate any info for Ubuntu related to GNOME. And so on.
Hello, I’m relatively new to self-hosting and recently started using Unraid, which I find fantastic! I’m now considering upgrading my storage capacity by purchasing either an 8TB or 10TB hard drive.

Sure but technically non-redundant schemes also fall under the category. E.g. RAID0, multiple non-redundant ZFS vdevs, etc. Those would be reducing the performance effects of single disks.
Their search can become better than DDG tomorrow just like it used to be a few years ago. All they need to do is rollback the enshitification patches. It’s not a matter of R&D, it’s a matter of the ad boss becoming the boss of search and optimizing it for ad revenue.
