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

Nextcloud has a Notes app too
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?
No I let Gmail preview the attachment in the browser, without clicking the content inside
I get a lot of spam/phishing in one of my Gmail accounts for some reason. They send me PDF attachments with nude pics on them of hot ladies that ostensibly want to meet my penis and stuff. “Click here!” it says on the nude pic PDFs, with links to .ru websites and junk
I hope this gets circulated enough to reduce the ridiculous amount of investment and energy waste that the ramping-up of “AI” services has brought. All the companies have just gone way too far off the deep end with this shit that most people don’t even want.
The phone addiction thing is strangely very common now. I’ve seen many posts online about it, people complaining how life is bad and they can only stay on their phone all day.
I just don’t get it. Why would you want to stare at a tiny screen in your hand all day? I only waste time on my phone when I’m bored and can’t find something better to do.
Lots of people on the internets tend to do whataboutism around this topic whenever it comes up.
I think what it all boils down to is that TikTok is the worst example we’ve seen come up, and it is badly addicting and manipulative enough that it finally got people concerned.
When you’re one of us who never installed or browsed to TikTok, it’s quite obvious how it’s fucking up the rest of the people. It has taken smartphone addiction to a new level. People look like addicted zombies on that shit.
There’s still room in car design for bigger batteries too. Could be used in cheaper electric cars with a less optimal power to weight ratio than LiFePO batteries would yield.
Prime is not a money saver. It’s a money waster that tricks you into buying more stuff just because “the shipping is free” but you can often get free shipping without Prime or Amazon. Just wait until you need enough stuff to meet the store’s free shipping threshold to make an order.
Right, I bought that shit in 2014 I think. Haven’t played it in several years.
They finally invented the face-storage device seen in the John Woo masterpiece Face/Off
Have you read the source code for the programming for those chips? Do you know exactly how they work?
Voice recognition is highly subjective, and some of you actually trust billionaire’s companies enough to take their word that their devices will only listen for certain special words? Ridiculous.
No politics in this post, only business
No it was quite a lot more than “a marketing guy” - there were pages and pages of details about their Active Listening program on their website, investor presentations etc. They went far into detail about how much they could listen to and what they could do with all that audio data.
Here’s the Internet Archive link:

That’s a BS reason. I have 2 members of the Baby Boomer generation in my Signal contacts, they use it all the time with no problems. It’s no harder than iMessage to use. They would like it better when they see that Signal doesn’t gimp the image quality between Android and iOS phones unlike iMessage
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.
