Does this count:

Many malls in Toronto have this. And as others have said, airports. Pearson International included.

Can still use the "Shift + F10 and type OOBE/BYPASSNRO" option. A non-online method is still necessary for corporate environments that use Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) or other tools to image computers in bulk.

I gotta hand it to Samsung that they outline all the open source licences they use, at least in their Galaxy smartphone products:

Alone. Phone's unplugged. Ignoring calls even though no one does.

Yes, it is turned on by default. You can opt-out if you'd like. Here's a pretty good article that covers it all: https://www.howtogeek.com/725842/what-is-apples-find-my-network/

Samsung SmartTags "Find" network is opt-in, which stagnated the growth of their network.

Tile's network is naturally opt-in as it requires us to install the app, and therefore has the lowest coverage from my understanding.

I recall seeing the following approximate numbers:

  • Apple: 1,000,000,000
  • Samsung: 300,000,000
  • Tile: 35,000,000

Battery and data usage are negligible.

That's how it's expected to work, yes. As does Samsung SmartTags, and Tiles. These tracking devices (that we purchase and opt-in for) are a net positive in most cases. How else would we expect them to work if not for Bluetooth beacons (and UWB)?

I can't speak for Sidebery, but Firefox's own Multi-Account Containers extension indispensable. Give it a try (maybe without Sidebery enabled in case it causes conflicts) and you'll notice how much it helps with managing multiple Azure accounts and other general browsing isolation. Particularly useful is the "always open this website in this container" feature.

Possibly. I reinstalled Jerboa already. Is lemmy.ml still overloaded? I keep getting "network error" when doing certain things like posting or upvoting. Sometimes even from just scrolling.
