It's probably for power reasons, the nrf series are really great on power consumption.

Yeah, if you look at a flagship nRF52840 board like the Xiao Seed, it ships with an integrated lithium charge controller, and just 5 μA power draw in deep sleep. If you are building any small battery-operated device, it's a no-brainer

I had to choose between an ESP-based and nRF-based MCU for my MeshCore node, the power consumption between the two made it obvious the nRF one was the way to go for a solar-powered repeater.

I use syncthing from my server to android. Seamless and configurable how I want it.

I still don't like the way apps try to hide the filesystem in android but at least I can use a file browser to access the file system directly.

Thank you for confirming my thoughts about Apple.

Unfortunately the incentive of current mobile OSs is to funnel everything towards rent-seeking.

The cloud was a mistake.

You're talking about UK laws rather than UK police.

>For what reason? It just makes no sense to me.

They probably got some new garbage software where because of modern terrible programming practices, the requirements are very high.

Thus they need to replace the "old" hardware.

I use termux to ssh and RealVNC to connect to a remote vnc session, all over a wireguard VPN.

Also Syncthing to automatically sync files between the phone and my home server. I download podcasts and audiobooks into a folder on the server and they're automatically on my phone ready to play.

Immich to connect to my self-hosted media. And ntfy to get notifications from my home stuff.

Tasker to automatically activate my wifi hotspot for the car's Android headunit when it sees the car's bluetooth.

I have another tasker job to take the 2-factor authentication numbers from SMS and forward them to ntfy, so I don't even have to look at the phone, I get a popup on my PC with the 2-factor code.

And the best of all, Firefox with uBlock Origin add-on and Revanced Apps. Because ads are cancer.

And I still have a headphone socket.

Can all that be done on iOS?

All the kids will be safe now they're logging into porn sites as Pete Hegseth.

Only after they've had their mandatory scrotum inspection and testosterone check to join the military at age 18.

You guy don't have to show cock and balls to the military commission? It's a standard practice in post-Communist countries, including NATO ones.

There's a guy in the US military intake processing facility (MEPS) whose job is, among other things, to inspect your bunghole

But more serious and non joking answer, the new thing from the "department of war" is testosterone level lab exams for existing servicemembers.

so... for military grade identification systems instead of face photo with id document next to it, you make banghole photo with id document next to it?

It's all good and fine until a scan of your combined face ID / bunghole ID is for sale on a russian based internet crime forum.

In the olden days, the doc would hold your nuts and tell you to turn your head and cough. This was to detect if you had a hernia (which was a medical exception).

The bunghole inspection was to see if you were the receptive partner in anal intercourse because being a gay man was a criminal offense.

Allegedly, lesbianism was never outlawed because Queen Victoria was so offended by the idea of it that she prohibited the legislation from even being heard in Parliament.

How do you even conclude from inspecting a butthole that it is "a receptive one"? Every man was one butthole inspection away from being a criminal?

I mean if a poo can get out, something of its size can also go in, and quality toilet paper was not that available at all historically.

Lots of workplaces allow reasonable personal use.

The problem from IT security point of view is what is "reasonable" and how it impacts internal systems if the laptop gets used as attack vector.

Is there any list of what kind of batteries are supported?

I couldn't find it on a short inspection.

Why would where the app comes from make a difference to their automated scanners?
