Similar here, bought car in 2011 and will drive it till it dies. I'm happy with an 3.5mm port.

But for those that do feel like Bluetooth etc are must have features. You can buy head units, with touch screens and Android auto and Apple CarPlay for only a few hundred dollars, and often support connecting rear cameras etc.

I think if anything I'd view it from the other direction. We had machines with hardware support for memory protection and multitasking and we got DOS. DOS was the abberation.

Microsoft was a Xenix vendor before it sold DOS.

I used to turn to custom roms to extend the life of my phone. My first smartphone didn't get an official update after I purchased it for example. The custom roms often made the phone snappier too.

These days I'm on a mid range Samsung phone released almost 4 years ago and it's still getting updates.

The Android app has done this for years too.

After connecting my (non Microsoft) email account to the Outlook Android app I noticed the login location was geolocated in the USA... I live in Australia.

Unfortunately there's no way to turn it off.

Not the previous poster. I taught an introduction to programming unit for a few semesters. The unit was almost entirely portfolio based ie all done in class or at home.

The unit had two litmus tests under exam like conditions, on paper in class. We're talking the week 10 test had complexity equal to week 5 or 6. Approximately 15-20% of the cohort failed this test, which if they were up to date with class work effectively proved they cheated. They'd be submitting course work of little 2d games then on paper be unable to "with a loop, print all the odd numbers from 1 to 20"

How do you find the thermals in the DS380?

I've got one and when I did some IO burn in testing on some new drives, the drives in the top and bottom slot became so hot I voided their warranty.

Does anyone have suggestions for an app with higher densiting on mobile? I was a Reddit Is Fun user and could see 7-8 posts on my feed at a time. Lemmy's view shows less about 4
