We don’t have our current time zone because of that. We have it because a fascist dictator wanted to be on the same time zone as Hitler.

And the logical timezone is of course GMT, the one closer to Spanish solar time. It’s been proven that it’s not healthy to be in a timezone that doesn’t correspond to your solar time, unless you adapt all the schedules to follow the sun.

Transcription for those who need it:

Matthew 5:43-48 New International Version

Love for Enemies You have heard that it was said “Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

It doesn’t. It designs part of the chips that go into their phones.

Google also designs chips that go into its phones, and Microsoft has also designed chips and security co processors that have gone into PCs.

(Of course, I’d never consider a Microsoft “security co processor” secure, nor an apple or google one).

[edit] I also do not see your point of apple being better (or more virtuous) than google or microsoft for designing their own hardware, for 2 different reasons:

• Currently Microsoft and Google have immense control over the software of PCs and phones. Apple wants to have full control of both the software and the hardware, and making their own hardware is a big step towards that goal. It means they’re restricting you (the user) from using the hardware you bought for your own purpose.

• Making custom hardware does not make a company more or less virtuous. Manufacturing/designing capabilities are just spending money in the respective industry. As I mentioned before, both Google and Microsoft have designed their own chips, and they also have designed chips for their servers. I would also argue that we should stop humanizing companies. They don’t have human traits, they’re not virtuous, they’re just there to take your money and go.

Apple gets money from both their monopoly on user data and their high prices. That’s why it’s above Microsoft and Google in market cap, even though it doesn’t have nearly as much infrastructure and reach.

Disclaimer: never use Brave browser, it’s really bad. The CEO is an asshole, and they promote crypto and scams, while still showing their own ads. They also got caught sneakily adding affiliate codes to URLs. (https://www.spacebar.news/stop-using-brave-browser/)

Use firefox or any firefox derivative with ublock origin (yes, even on android)

There are many free and libre OCR programs, that have way more accuracy than an “AI”

Yes, and no. No app will display the image if it wasn’t already capable of displaying webp, period.

However, there are many places (mainly websites where you can only upload certain formats, but it can also be apps) where the underlying infrastructure supports webp, but they do a simple extension check first with a list of file extensions that doesn’t include .webp. In those cases, changing the extension to .jpg will get the image through the filter, and the underlying system will detect the format using the magic number at the beginning of the file.

The same thing can happen when your OS has no associated app to open .webp, but the app it uses for .jpg can also display .webp.

Real

Writing this on a OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite 5G. It’s not an old model, you can still buy them new from the manufacturer with years of updates. It has a 3.5mm jack.

However, 3.5mm to USB-C adapters are not passive, they’re active. They need a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) to generate audio signals from the digital data stream that comes from the USB-C.

Phones didn’t use to have very good DACs (with exceptions, of course), but they’re still normally better than whatever you get from a 3€ adapter.

Adapters are also less convenient than a headphone jack, because now you need to remember taking the adapter and the headphones with you.

Client side anti-cheat (the one installed on your PC) will never work, it’s just fundamentally impossible. They can restrict user freedom as much as they want, but the hardware still isn’t under their control.

The only reason they push for those kinds of anti-cheats is because they don’t have to pay for the extra processing of server side anti-cheat, and they also get the benefit of a backdoor into your computer that you may never fully uninstall without buying a new computer.

There’s an even smaller scale tower, also built by the same architect, and also using the same design as the WTC. It’s in Madrid, Spain.

Ask people from your country, or look online to see if torrenting is prosecuted there. If people don’t get letters from the ISP, you can just enable encryption in your torrent software and forget about it.

I’ve been torrenting without VPN for a decade (Spain), and never had any issues, not even traffic slowdowns.

Edit: You’re probably gonna see a lot of advice to always use a VPN. Most of this advice is from US users, who are not used to torrenting without VPNs. The truth is, as with everything, it really depends. I’m not a fan of generalized answers to questions, and the same advice isn’t as good for every situation. VPNs are a barrier of entry, and they also come with a slowdown. If you’re starting to torrent and VPNs are not necessary in your country, don’t be afraid to torrent without one. But of course, if you’re from the US, you’ll have to use one!

TLauncher was caught with malware

Minecraft, the game that sold the most copies in history, has a huge infrastructure of community-hosted servers, some with tens of thousands of players playing at the same time. The community has created different flavors of the server software, optimized it, added mod support and even reprogrammed parts of it.

At this point, it’s hard for me to believe how someone could say a community can’t run game servers with a straight face.

Publish schematics with every piece of hardware you make. Paradise for repair technicians and retro tech enthusiasts in a few decades.

The prohibition is not for your health, it’s because everyone else also has to breathe your smoke.

Smoke in private, not in public places, and especially not in public places where children play.
