And the car?

That car went on to become KITT.

I don't really watch Christian movies.

The last thing I saw him in was that home alone, but with a dog instead of a kid. "Alone for Christmas". I can't really recommend that, either.

Currently on a CMF phone 1.

Best phone is a tie between Nokia E70 or the HTC Dream. Suitable form factors and physical keyboards <3

I'm driving a 2007 which I guess I'll move on from in a couple of years. I loathe the day when my only options are cars that get OTA updates.

Everything smart has shown their true colours about altering the deal. My TV didn't use to have ads on the home screen. Now it's 80% of it.

It's not just about the frequency. It's about the modulation. You need new/additional radio hardware. Constantly being on another band eats more battery, too.

But as we've seen in busy areas, there's just not enough bandwidth with many nodes on LoRa. It'd get congested real fast if it were built-in to mainstream phones.

Using the hardware that's there, something like briar let's you get your messages routed through whichever means. Bluetooth mesh, internet or tor.

That's harsh coming from a second-generation immigrant who keeps marrying immigrants.

I wanted to name my daughter Zelda. Mrs Pano vetoed it.

The Z makes it sound sexy. Also Moxy got shot down.

The contributor above works at Baikal Electronics, which are a defense supplier in/for Russia, and therefore sanctioned.

The Linux Foundation is based in the US and have to bide by those sanctions.

All my troubles seemed so far away?

I'll keep that secret from her 😅

Three years ago, I bought my wife a laptop with Windows 10 to replace her 10yo windows 7 machine.

It had hardware issues out of the box, and went in on two repairs. It works fine now, AFAIK.

But, she still doesn't trust it, and she doesn't think that she can move her Adobe CS6 license over to it..

I even bought her the affinity suite.

I'm starting to think she'll never move on from Windows 7.

I think the major browsers stopped supporting it sometime during the last year, so my best hope is that some included certificates will eventually make her favourite websites stop working. That has to force her over to something more recent.. right?

I use arch, btw.
