Re:GrapheneOS has been ported to Android 17 on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @02:23AM (#48566510)
We Have been successfully using graphene on a pixel 4 plus, 5 plus and a 6pro. They all work. Very well. They were cheap to buy. Super easy to install graphene (remember they have a very easy stepu by step process, takes about 10 minutes) It's a good way to test and see if you like it. Truly amazing operating system. Simple and beautiful control of your apps and their behaviors.

This is very well written and presented. A lot of ideas presented to be thought about,. Especially when 'resting'.

Recommend the whole series of books! Starting with Master and Commander. The books are also available in audiobook, read by Simon Vance. An awesome series of books. Beware, when you start... There are over 20 volumes in the series, and it's hard to stop.

Very cool! Nice work.
Yes and now win 11 ltsc! It's like the difference between browsing the internet with and without unblock origin.
Don't feel bad. Even if you noticed, It is likely that during the next "security" update, one drive would be re-enabled, as the default - and possibly everything moved there.
Second ltsc -look into it once you try you will never go back. Available from various resellers nowadays. It is, what windows should be sold as.
This sounds familiar. Months after not receiving an order, UPS sent a letter from a pseudo(?) collection agency for a charge added to the order. But there was no way to pay for it - as there was a statement that only the shipper could pay, but still, the order didn't arrive - it was very confusing, the shipment disappeared in paperwork - and no one could figure it out. Customer was out the original purchase fee, producer never could reviver shipment. Complete mess.

Some of us had the honor of learning about it from WWII vets... But, to your point, everyone in Europe was busy fighting the war, and there was very little 'driving around'. So not much talk about it.

Nice summation of the tech product world And the political situation at the same time! It is amazing that small schisms on the good side, are so highly beneficial to the dark side.

Re:I didn't bring my son to a museum to look at screens on Wednesday September 10, 2025 @03:26PM (#45202446)
On the other hand, an app for your phone, or digital display placed by an artifact, it a bar code: could have as much detail as possible, with more and more in depth lessons that you can investigate depending on your own level of curiosity. (Or age.) A fantastic museum of the world - natural and human history in Ottawa, was great. But imagine, they have a diorama depicting a historical scene... Then there is a display counter in front where you can read what's going on in the diorama. Also a few selected elements from the display, shown behind that glass, but visible up close for us to admire. What is the description of a brass ring, in the display: "A brass ring."! We can see that! WTF? But we want to know: where was it found, what was it's purpose, why is this down here not something else. What era is it from? You could dig deeper: how was it made? Who made it? Where? With what technology? Brass? How did they blend the raw materials? Who wore it? Etc etc etc. A little electronic display could have that, It a link for everyone to follow - bar code for example we could scan. It could even link to a Wikipedia page, whatever. But, something! More than: "A brass ring"
Re:How to make metals from Martian dirt on Monday September 08, 2025 @03:10PM (#45172523)
I just replaced my screen background with a photo from Mars with a big granitic(?)/ granodiorite(?) Boulder, surrounded by volcanic rocks. It is an amazing quandary! Fun to look at, and think - ok, how was this made!? To simplify: the Boulder: is a white rock with black crystals, whereas all the surrounding rocks are dark grey or black(look like lava.) The Boulder is somewhat round(let's say 1 meter across +-100%), has been broken at some of the edges, and rounded at others. How was it broken? Rounded, and the fact it isn't in the Chevy place judging by the surrounding rocks, HOW, did it get there? So we are looking at various igneous processes at work here. Deep and surface. Plus, transport, by water? Ice? Liquid CO2? Unknown.

Try Suunto. Works over Bluetooth only. Great system... So far.
Try a Suunto. Very different than Garmin. (I found better battery, and menu.)
Re:Project Hyperion: Interstellar ship design competition on Thursday August 07, 2025 @12:58AM (#44820739)
This project has invoked a lot of very interesting dialogue and discussion - Very fun fit for HN. Someone mentioned Kim Stanley Robinson's book: Aurora. (There is an audiobook version.) I recommend it also... It is a bit long winded but presents a lot of detail and thinking on many of the ideas discussed in this comment section. A very fun read. A grand adventure similar to old school science fiction books. One of the brilliant concluding quotes, went something like; The earth is an interstellar spaceship too.

Re:BBC staff: we're forced to do pro-Israel PR on Monday July 07, 2025 @11:26PM (#44496711)
We are going up, slowly, in health, literacy, education - globally. But, like all progress, it is up up and down, then again up up and down. Thanks to retro grades like Putin and Trump. As to health indenture -that form of slavery is primarily in USA. Most other countries have figured it out. I agree with hope for the future though. Star Trek, not Star Wars!
Reminds me of the book Saturn Run, by John Sanford - which has a lot of effort put into the technology and radiation of heat in their space ship. Fun science fiction book.
Re:The Cultural Decline of Literary Fiction on Sunday June 22, 2025 @04:41PM (#44350112)
It could be that reality is more "exciting" than any fiction, and your mind can't handle any more.
Yup. Switch to Firefox or fennec and use ublock. Clean story. Even can use text mode.
