Do you operate a webserver on them with software service(s)?

I would consider WRT management self hosting, personally. Pi-hole also, but you aren’t running paperless-ngx, pihole, or HomeAssistant on your lightbulb/Shelby switch.

I just got a fairphone 6. Removable battery!

It kind of does though because they aren’t destroying the environment, depriving people of water and electricity, and directly contributing to fascism to make their game.

(If the comment is in good faith then we all know they aren’t using a local AI model run on solar panels for the work)

Smart watch:

ZsWatch. They are developing the PPG sensor and I have used their PPG sensor hub driver for my own smart watch project. The guy heading it up is super knowledgable.

Healthy Pi Move this one seems interesting but maybe less open.

Also with GadgerBridge, you can have complete local control of many smart watches like Amazfit (Helio strap is my choice there for accuracy and whoop alternative. Bip3 is also very accurate) and a lot of Garmins and xiaomi.

Why do you say privacy and zero data retention? Has there been any proof of this? What we have learned from the last few years of investigations is companies lie and lie and lie through their teeth about anything regarding privacy.

Corporations are allowed to do whatever they want, whenever they want. There might be a few tiny consequences 10-20 years later that shaves a couple months of profit down, but that is just the cost of business and massive profits for the rest of the time.

Hope this helps!

Also, here in Belgium, vegan Gouda is literally cheaper per kilo than actual, cheap Gouda.

If you watch the video, (oh boy was it long but informative) it likely is still spying on you rampantly and using neighbors as hotspot points to send the data.

Unlink smaetphones, they are plugged in so they can just run speech to text (and the TVs that the op had could hear 20m away in other rooms with the mic array) forever. If you sell the TV or something and it ever connects to the internet again, it will likely dump all of that plaintext data corresponding to your physical location.

Well… No. And opamp output is fully different than an opamp input. They aren’t reversible.

The electronics would have to be specially designed to be a transceiver instead of just a speaker output (I mean, they definitely can do it, it just is more work and more cost)

It would be 10x cheaper just to put a microphone in it.

Isn’t the point that Ian sounds like it should start with an E, where Isle sounds like it should start with an I?

Hey hey hey,

They stand up against unions

They stand up against cheap, green energy

They stand up against human rights

They stand up against good working conditions

They stand up against good and affordable medical care

They stand up against required paid sick leave and maternity leave

They stand up against regulations to not poison people or exploit people quite so much

They stand up against anything that might slightly hurt short term profits.

They pump tens or hundreds of billions at the government to “stand up to them”. Just always, without exception, to pommel the working class and long term into the ground and sacrifice the long term for short term superficial gains.

If I do that, the seasoning comes right off lol. Even using one of those green scrubbers (but the blue, non-scratch) makes that happen.

Fairphone 6 also has USB2.0 sadly. Cost cutting…

Fairphone has PMOS support (6 is getting there very quickly)

Fairphone has calyxOS support (now that calyx is resumed, they will likely support the 6)

Does the gigaset have any of that, or just stock android with barely any updates even?

But have you thought of the bribary blood money lobbying donations that our MEPs are going to get??? What a great tradeoff!!!

I cook a lot (not a chef by any means but just a hobby home cook).

Heat masks a lot of flavor. I always think that if the food that I make tastes bad cold, it was shit food to begin with and the heat just hid it.

Texture is another thing, but my food goal is that my meals taste as good cold as they do hot.

Do you have any concrete examples of this being enforced in practice?

All I see:

• our data still gets collected
• our phones, TVs, wiretap “assistants” still spy on us and upload all of our information to personal datasets that companies can access
• “deleting your data” as per GDPR is just a database flag/row that says the data says it is deleted
• EU just authorized any and all companies to spy on your communications 24/7, 365 days a year
• freedom of speech/expression doesn’t exist here any more than in America, maybe less

Our right to privacy (freedom right pillar) is literally daily being violeted 1000 times over and the most I have ever seen happen is a slap on the wrist 0.01% of yearly revenue fine that didn’t change anything. Companies can fuck you over all they like unless you have a 10million € army of lawyers…

Also how is it going in Germany with the Palestine protester that had been locked in solitary confinement (known torture) for 23 hours per day for the past almost year after a show trial kangaroo court where they wouldn’t allow even any independent record of the trial inside (violation of both dignity and justice pillars)

There is precious little enforcement of many rights, so we absolutely cannot take them for granted and have to fight for them on every front.

Hopefully since the EU high density desktop/server RAM industry is pretty much nonexistent (as far as I know), they won’t tax it to hell.

China RAM vs US RAM, they are both not EU “allies” now so there should be little reason.

Oh oh oh I can do this one.

6 USB-C port failures in my 1.75 years with the phone.

Fuck HMD Global (then Nokia brand) and their absolute trash USB ports.

Claude directly has over 1100000 lines of direct code contribution. It has pretty much the same amount of code committed directly as the creator has.

His entire coding history before Claude consisted of changing readmes or searching and replacing project name text or modifying a dead link to his own link.

Suddenly in 4 months, without ever producing actual code before, he becomes a very competent coder enough to tackle mCAD, a notoriously difficult coding task that takes many many years with teams to make meaningful progress on?

That is vibe coding.

And his co-contributer “gianlucafiore” is exactly the same story. Has literally only made issues until LLM coding got released and then late 2025 (December) switched to making commits that he badly copied from an LLM such that some of the commits are literally one full line (as direct in-file working of the LLM wasn’t as accessible then)

That is vibe coding.

So the top 3 contributes are

1. An LLM
2. Someone that only has committed any code via an LLM
3. Someone who has only made issues before beginning with an LLM and submits clearly generated code

There is likely no human-made code in the entire project besides changing a couple links.
