My Kobo is Linux but not Android.

This page says the Boox bootloader is unlocked but the kernel source is missing: https://gist.github.com/fardjad/97baf36de97d1c4ae3953b3d359bb918

Boox uses Android.

If you partnered with them as a sponsor and they took your commission money and paid you using some of the money that you would have otherwise gotten anyway, you’d probably be angry.

Not all notifications are short sentences. The most likely counter example is e-mails.

Does this mean I won’t need to go to a dealership, play games to get a fair price, have the dealer’s branding permanently affixed to my car, and be constantly hounded by the dealership to buy more things from them?

But if it means the car is going to come with mandatory Alexa I’m out.

Encryption when it protects you from China: “Encryption is your friend”
Encryption when it protects your constitutional rights: “What are you hiding?”

It violated their policies? What are they going to do? Give the LLM a written warning? Put it on an improvement plan? The LLM doesn’t understand or care about company policies.

Birthrates are low in many countries and it’s unknown how much of South Korea’s low birthrate is related to 4B.

It may or may not be a concern to you, but if you are hosting it from your home then people will be able to determine your IP and rough physical location.

If you’re on American cable internet and expecting a lot of traffic, your upload speed may become a problem.

TI is overrated. Play Store has the HP calculator emulators Droid48 and Emu48, but they’re unfortunately not on F-Droid.

The American education system has failed you. I’m assuming by “a progressive candidate” in this case you mean a third party, but in a first-past-the-post voting system, voting third-party is a protest vote. At best, people voting third-party shows that voters don’t have confidence in the major parties, but at worst it helps your least preferred of the two major parties win the election because you’re not begrudgingly voting for the candidate you hate less. A third-party president is an unimaginable upset.

But if you’re not living in a swing state nobody cares how you vote for president anyway. Hopefully you got a good option for Congress in the primaries. That’s the only thing I had any chance of influencing at a federal level for this election cycle. I’m not in a swing state and in the final election I only got one option for senate and all one candidate could say was that they weren’t the other candidate.

Neither of the candidates for election.

There used to be a respectable web 3.0 but now we just have web3 crypto grifters.

The other problem is that the mouse does not click properly. Apple is still stubbornly refusing to put a second physical button in their mice. For almost 20 years they’ve been selling mice that can emulate right clicking by using a touch surface, but it seems like you still need to hold the mouse funny to avoid accidentally doing the wrong click because your other finger is resting on the other side of the mouse when clicking. At least they got rid of the little ball that likes to scroll horizontally while you’re scrolling vertically and gets clogged easily.

Samsung “Advanced Intelligence” has a “Process data only on device” setting:

For added privacy, process data for advanced intelligence features on your device instead of online. Online processing of data provides the best results and is required for some advanced intelligence features.

Other AI features provided by Google or other apps may not honor it.

Android 4 was the reunification of Android 2 for phones and Android 3 for tablets. I think it coincided with the launch of the original Nexus 7 and Google Assistant, and I think I was installing third-party Android 4 builds on one of the first US phones with 4G LTE.

The author misses the irony of leaving Twitter, a for-profit, centralized, social network for Bluesky, a different, for-profit, centralized social network. Hopefully it’s different this time.

Untracker lets you copy links on Android without tracking parameters, but it’s so annoying in YouTube. I have to click the share button to get the fake YouTube share menu and then swipe past preferred options that I never use to reach the “more” option that reveals the real share menu and then select Untracker to see the link and then it gives me the option to copy (for sharing) or share (which also gives the option to copy). Often going through this process causes YouTube to stop playing.

This turns out to be a bad thing. Enough people are uninformed or don’t care about their privacy that over time an option that doesn’t sell customer data loses customers and becomes more expensive and gets cancelled.

You need to factor in other economic factors. How much is this in terms of median salary? How much is this in terms of child care costs? Currency conversion is based on how much the currency is worth in the other country.
