Kind of funny. Windows mail is actually the only Microsoft app I actually kind of like. At least design wise. I like how friendly and kind of mobile UI-ish it looks.

Oh, okay. I was not aware there were specific phone cases made for using underwater, although that's still not something I would ever wish to participate in. Case or not.

Absolutely no way would I ever submerge my phone underwater on purpose. No matter whether it said it was waterproof or not. That would be just an absolute no-no for me.

I heard a libertarian viewpoint that seems to make sense to me, and that's that the police would be required to carry liability insurance. So if they were horrible fucking people, then they would get quickly priced out of the market with their insurance rates and have to find another job of where they weren't hurting people.

Exactly. Then the states would have the freedom to enforce the rules they wanted to within their borders. And people would have the ability to choose what rules they wanted to live under.

To be fair, the big reason for being against the cops is qualified immunity. Even though not many cases require qualified immunity, the fact that it exists at all is a serious problem. If the police do something wrong, they should be able to be sued in court and let a jury hear both sides of the argument. I don't think all individuals who are police are bad people, but they work for the government have no duty to serve and enforce laws passed down by goons.

I had a screen issue with mine after a while where the bottom right hand corner of the screen was trying to separate from the body a little bit and there was like this green line that showed up in the middle of my display. It was annoying as hell. Also, that was before I started only letting my battery charge up to 80% and so my battery was pretty well shot by the time that occurred as well.

I agree. I was thinking of 18 hours myself because 12 seems a little bit too short. But 24 or above seems far too long.

Not particularly, no. Although I do use Odyssey, because there are at least some channels that were on YouTube that I watch from there, such as Scott Manley, talking about rockets. And I think undecided or something like that is on there as well.

Oh, well I likely would not be running a repeater, at least not right away. I would probably be sticking with just the handheld device.

Use Monero and give the US the middle finger.

 

In order to boost Haveno adoption, We propose the following:

  • RETO lowers its trade fees to 0%

in return:

  • RETO receives the equivalent of X per year or Y per month with the first 4 months paid up-front, subsequent payments on a monthly basis.

  • Once monthly RETO volume exceeds 1M fiat and sustains it for 3 months in a row, RETO reintroduces a fee and pays back any fees above X until the total amount paid back is equal to the total amount previously received.

Example:

If RETO earns Z in a month, it pays back Z-Y.

Should volume suddenly be drastically higher than expected, we will not reimburse RETO for “lost” trade fees and assume we have reached our goal in boosting Haveno adoption.

This agreement is initially going to last until 2025-12-31 with the first payment dated back to 2024- 11-01 under the condition that the 0% trade fee goes into effect with the release of Haveno v1.0.13.

 

So recently I've been seeing the trend where Android OEMs such as Google, Samsung, etc. have been extending their software release times up to like five, six, and seven years after device release. Clearly, phone hardware has gotten to the point where it can support software for that long, and computers have been in that stage for a very long time. From what I can tell, the only OEM that does this currently might be Fairphone.

Edit: The battery is the thing that goes the fastest so manufacturers could just offer new batteries and that would solve a lot of the problem.

 

I mean, your smartphone already knows how to talk on 600 megahertz, 700 megahertz, 800 megahertz, 1.7 gigahertz, 1.9 gigahertz, 2.1 gigahertz, 2.4 gigahertz, 3 gigahertz, 5 gigahertz, 6 gigahertz, etc. I see absolutely no reason it would be unable to talk on 915 megahertz.

 

I have been an amateur radio operator for quite a long time and am starting to look into meshtastic and the Lilygo T-Deck. However, their site asks me which version I would want. The 915 megahertz, the 860 megahertz, or the 433 megahertz. As an amateur radio person, the 433 MHz would be the lowest frequency and therefore should be the longest range, but is that the most popular model? Would I be missing out on nodes if I were to use 433 MHz instead of 860 or 915?

 

Why use HTTP over SOCKS5? SOCKS seems much more common.

 

I just finished this incredibly interesting book and will leave the description from my book service below.

"Worst Case Scenario" by T J Newman

"#1 internationally bestselling author T.J. Newman is back with Worst Case Scenario. When a pilot suffers a heart attack at 35,000 feet, a commercial airliner filled with passengers crashes into a nuclear power plant in the small town of Waketa, Minnesota, which becomes ground zero for a catastrophic national crisis with global implications. The International Nuclear Event Scale tracks nuclear disasters. It has seven levels. Level 7 is a Major Accident, with only two on record: Fukushima and Chernobyl. There has never been a Level 8. Until now. In this heart-stopping thriller, ordinary people--power plant employees, firefighters, teachers, families, neighbors, and friends-- are thrust into an extraordinary situation as they face the ultimate test of their lives. It will take the combined courage, ingenuity, and determination of a brave few to save not only their community and loved ones, but the fate of humanity at large."
