At this point the only real choice of operating systems for people who want full control over their computer are Linux distributions.

I couldn’t agree more with you, and the same can be said about most consumer devices. If you want a full control over any device, you are gonna get the best experience flashing a custom firmware. But manufacturers don’t like it, they lose the telemetry data and revenue so they do their best to impede that.

AOSP is better but only if you’re a dev

AOSP is the way android phones should be sold, and to have the option to escalate privileges in a terminal, so you can actually do some work without relying on Google Play Services + a 200MB app to send a file to your laptop. The custom vendor images should be something people can opt in to get a vendor locked dumbed down experience.

Of course, not a problem.

Maybe not for sport, like this guy.

Rips Bong

Enrique Tarrio is the kind of person that used to squeeze their acne in high school, for fun.

Anytime! We should get rid of the security thru obscurity notion that prevailed with Mac and iOS.

What the fuck? Is already starting.

Did they seriously just lock up an Iranian national, in fucking Panama, for being brown and having an irregular immigration status?

Who doesn’t love a good 'ol fish hash? Extra baked.

The iOS doesn’t disable the port, if you connect to a Linux machine and see the dmesgs you’ll see the phone communicating with the host and reporting lockdown mode so your software can indicate you to unlock the device. But is still sending data about itself, and if you put the device in recovery mode and is vulnerable to a bootrom exploit the contents of the flash could theoretically be dumped without the need for a password. Without mentioning the data that could be extracted and used to profile/fingerprint such as MAC Address, SN, IMEI, ICCID of your SIM, etc…

I’m from Sinaloa (Northwest of Mexico, south of Arizona) and the food is really really different from Mexico City’s cuisine.

I’ve found that New Mexican food (from New Mexico) is really similar and uses the same ingredients. Also the vocabulary spoken in that region combines several Native American words with Spanish (words like adjectives, children or child, animals and foods names, etc) and if you go to our cousin state of Sonora that sits between Arizona and us, you’ll see plenty of Yaqui and Mayo cultural references. They even have a baseball team called The Yaquis.

The crabs in a bucket mentality.

That ED-209 scene is comedic as hell.

Head of the SS

My ssd is sda (with a sda1 boot partition and an encrypted root partition).

That’s because is a SATA SSD.

Conclusion: Gen Z/Alpha probrally wont be great at computers but there will probrally be many individuals who will be significantly more advanced at computers.

Yeah, I’m Gen Z as well and watching people use Google without knowing what to put in the search box drives me nuts, but that’s why they pay for me so…

I remember telling my dad “Computers aren’t that hard. You just need to read what is the thing saying” and most people won’t even read, let alone comprehend.

The Thinkpad also has access to a game library of (checks notes) almost every single game ever made excluding mainly AAA titles from the 2010s onward.

The same can be said of (Checks notes) a console with a Custom Firmware, plus a cheap TV brand new is around 90 dollars. The thinkpad is only good to play retro games or non demanding titles, also the experience of playing in a 14" display with laptop keyboard and a PS/2 trackpad sucks.

A brand new T490 was over 900 bucks retail depending on the specs, and a used one is still less cost effective than, let’s say, a used PS3 or PS4…

I wish there was a remind me bot :(

Yeah, they should change the book into a tiktok.
