That's a cool feature. Do you run Android? How did you set this up?
Didn't know that NT5 source is available for the public. Why Microsoft does not ban/delete it on GitHub?

Your monitor model, screen settings, .. play a significant role in here. Try it on different screens to get different results.
I think it is the kind of right place to ask: Is it possible to encrypt the system disc after Linux was installed or so I have to reinstall Linux for that purpose?
Easier said than done. You have to maintain two phones then (updates, keeping charged). You don't want to carry two phones around. Also you have to have two SIM cards/telephone numbers which costs money.

Great idea! How to make sure that the users data stays private without the cloud knowing where the user is surfing. And I wonder how to monetise it? Subscription?

Re:I tracked Amazon's Prime Day prices. We've been played on Friday October 10, 2025 @07:34AM (#45537697)
That's the reason I don't have scruples to scam Amazon by saying that I haven't received the package when the deliverer just throw it in the first stock of the apartment building without giving notice.
Yes.

What do you mean by "safest"? How is pinging 1.0.0.1 safer that yahoo.com? With pinging 1.1 you exclude DNS from your chain, but is that safer anyhow?
Could you tell what these uncensored LLMs are?
That's right, but why make rooting almost Impossible? Why they are fighting rooting at all? They could make rooting easier, for example in the hidden developer menu.

Fun fact: Because of compound words it's possible in German to create words with triple consonants like "Sauerstoffflasche".

"Tomcat" is male in German, not female: Der Kater.

"Wife" is female in German, not neutral: Die Ehefrau. "Weib" is old language and rude to use these days.

Is it possible to take 180° 3d videos with it?
Notepad++ has a "sticky note" mode (F12 key): it removes all borders from the window, only the text box itself being left.

Some years ago I used to copy reddit threads in Notepd++ and move the window on top of Visual Studios output window tonread reddit half on the day.
