Personally, I said fuck the grid and built my own solar power without it. I have separate grid power too.

Nope, I have a lot better things to do than look at a tiny handheld screen.

I don’t have any of those devices, but I have observed the test I described showing the voice recognition being performed.

Ask Siri if she knows who you are. Let another person ask Siri anything. Then ask Siri if it’s doing voice recognition to identify your voice.

There are a lot of companies already doing voice recognition on our audio data, but you don’t hear much about it.

It seems like China is putting a lot of efforts into becoming environmentally cleaner in the last few years though. I’m hoping that they’ve finally realized that pollution is bad.

Well here we are, with all the signs of everything going as badly as possible fully present. Goddamn evil robot sentries guarding the fascist dictator-wannabe’s personal luxury habitat. At least down there, if one of those things malfunctions and hurts somebody it would have to be one of the worst people around.

This is certainly not the future I dreamed of as a child and young man.

Maybe what they are trying to say is that most everyday folks don’t use those terms in any normal conversation. I’ve never used those terms myself and haven’t heard them in any conversation I can recall outside of the Internet.

Your first comment was right: no phone

So Teams calls of 1-4 people can send traffic direct peer-to-peer if they’re on the same LAN right?
Do all calls of 5+ users stay centrally hosted on the cloud? These are the kinds of things that MS should document and make easily available for IT and firewall admins. Finding info on Teams ports wasn’t easy in my experience.

I see cash businesses all the time that can operate without power or Internet. Festival / market vendors, food trucks, etc. It’s not hard to count money, give change, write down a receipt if needed.

That would be no problem, unless your electricity is unreliable and you don’t have a UPS. I rarely use the power button on any of my PCs or Macs, except the one old PC that can’t do S3 sleep anymore (crashes on wake).

Are y’all not using sleep mode? Also the Apple M-cpus are extremely power efficient so leaving it on without sleep mode is a perfectly fine option too.

Just like a Raspberry Pi needs a dongle for a power button, except the Mini has one already.

Yeah the Max Headroom show covered this topic back in 1987

A Faraday cage is supposed to be grounded, so aluminum foil isn’t the same thing. Maybe you could turn the phone off, wrap it in foil, and then place it upon a conductive metal surface that is grounded, such as a 240v kitchen appliance

What else would you suggest to do about it?

Not if the app is coded properly to not include message content in the push notification. Signal uses google notifications only as a wakeup event to poll the (not google) server for the new message.

Google push notifications are available on GrapheneOS - just have to install Google Play Services. Their sandboxed version of google’s junk is nice because you can fully restrict permissions to it unlike stock Android.

Yeah a commentary video with a creator of a movie or show is real content related to the other content, not the same as a random person’s “look at me” video
