I mean, that won’t really work. It dampens the signal, not eliminates it, and in order to block communications, you need a net width small enough to block 1/4 wavelength which is 5cm/4, so <1 cm holes with a material thick enough for the damping.
That would be a net that weighs like 20kg lol and it would essentially be a solid cage at that point
Not to mention that it would have to fully encompass them.
Better to just use a signal jammer like they do for drones.
I would suggest first doing the basics first before diving in and trying to run cracked games. I had trouble and had to go through multiple troubleshooting steps to get DODI repacks working on windows even. the difference is there are a ton of resources of people spending hours and hours fixing broken cracked games on windows (dodi Hogwarts legacy has like 100+ threads on reddit with fixes) where Linux just isn’t popular enough yet to have a big community find fixes for your cracked games for you already and the fixes from windows often don’t work.
First try browsers, steam games, streamimg, and light use while dual booting, you can still keep windows for the games that don’t work on Linux.
It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Just take it one step at a time. You are trying to reduce tracking. That is going to be 90% internet browsing, so if you already switch to Linux for that, you are much of the way there.
Palantir
They have unique digital fingerprints for everyone already pretty much, but they are not linked to official government IDs so there is still uncertainty I think over identification.
This makes everyone’s digital fingerprint linked on a government ID. Voila, now every person in America is known by Palantir and the government at all times (more or less). Great for genocide and targeting your political opponents and voters to set up sham elections.
It also tries to stop poors who don’t have drivers licenses in America from organizing as they can’t verify.
Now with Flock surveiling most of the US: Jaywalking or littering and a Democrat or worse, leftist? You are a criminal and intelligible to vote. Incoming trump 75+% win for an illegal 3rd term or Vance.
Thiel famously said “what if there was a way, through technology, to achieve your political goals without having to beg and plead to convince people who will never agree with you anyway”
Convenient that Israel has bought up a huge portion of VPNs just recently and has one of the largest spying and influence networks in the world.
How do you know that when literally every single interview with a magat who has had their face eaten and gone bankrupt has said “I would vote for home again”?
It is always great to warn people against bad European companies too. We have plenty of people and companies who are as bad or worse than in the US.
Nestle is objectively one of if not the worst companies in the world apparently devoted to almost exclusively doing evil. Spotify is also terrible, Unilever had done some bad shit apparently, our many of our auto companies are also not good, etc… Many of our companies would literally kill to get American labor laws here and have spent billions Union busting and lobbying/bribing against workers.
Yeah, I am no fan of proton and they have lied before (no log VPN logs magically finding logs for authorities and then later removing the no-log claim).
But this is literally just proton being legally compelled to hand over data the user willingly gave (not being harvested or de-encrypted). A nothing story.
Which is still all due to investors not looking longer than 2 years since all of the crashing companies except Northvolt are startups. Lithium prices will always rise again at a much much higher rate than sodium.
Sodium was always better for grid storage due to temperature charging and discharging and still plenty cheaper than Lithium Iron Phosphate that it is a replacement for.
Yeah no email provider providers everything that you need I have found 😅
I believe the other sync options like decsync are made for syncing without a server per se.
I have a maybe-conspiracy theory.
Israel, or Israeli citizens who were former IDF, have recently bought up a huge portion VPN companies (see outdated relationship with eachother here)
Now, conveniently as it happens, now age verification on porn sites (one of the top VPN drivers) is occurring all over the globe, in a lot of countries lobbied/bribed heavily by Israeli entities.
It is well documented that Israel has one of the largest and influential spy networks and they also have their hands in almost every mass surveillance company in the world (including having a “director of Zionist interests” at Facebook)
I think this is a big push to get everyone onto VPNs that they own to essentially route all internet traffic through a place where they can log and track all of it as they would benefit massively both financially and politically from that move.
Tasks.org is great.
It can be synced via Davx5, caldav, etesync, decsync. Also via Microsoft to-do and google if you want to try it out without having to re-input everything before you commit.
Edit: sorry, didn’t see the web client thing. It doesn’t have that. However, you can sync to a computer email client like Thunderbird or evolution and use it there.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
If you have a google account because it contains email history but it sits dormant, logged out, not using google products for years, then it isn’t supporting them with data.
They won’t delete your data anyway or your fingerprint link or tracking data if you delete your account, might as well also have access to it if needed.
Sadly it won’t work on fairphone 6 because it only has USB 2.0 and there isn’t enough bandwidth.
I am confused.
In developer options in basic android you can simply enable the feature right?
My old Sony xperia 5 ii can do that and it definitely isn’t a Sony feature…
Nope, it bypasses that and gives you many of the strava premium features by just parsing it out of the “raw” data. Most of the strava features are just statistics or hiding basic data calculated from your runs behind a paywall anyway. You can do the calculations yourself, technically.
I don’t think I have ever heard that for the a series. That if fact, I have always heard that it is just about the best price-value on the market, the downside being that it is google and no SD card slot (which is common now). They use the flagship chip in it still, right?
No. I am an Electronics engineering and believe me, I try…
Any sort of embedded size-constrained sensing where you need an AFE from maxim/analog/TI. Absolutely forget about it. Even mouser and digikey are export restricting those now. Mouser canceled an AFE and PPG sensor hub on my last order.
RS components in the UK: pretty meh selection MCUs with mostly STM and some outdated AVRs/PICs, missing a lot of key brands in different areas, decent/good for industrial stuff. Pretty much no NXP stock at all (Dutch company). Bad transceiver selection of outdated things. They only get new products like a year later. Good selection of power resistors though. Not good for opamps, but they have a decent Wurth selection of LEDs and Inductors. They are also good for connectors, e.g. they are the only European distributer with Wisblock compatible Panasonic connectors
TME Poland: high prices, better stock than RS for MCUs (EDIT: I just looked and they actually have a worse selection now), but they still only have mostly microchip PICs, only 500 ARM processors so a very limited selection. In general they have a ton of microchip and less of a selection of other things. Chances are, if you found a perfect IC that isn’t microchip, it is a 50/50 if it will be there. I have very often found chosen parts from manufacturer sites and catalogs and built out a design and check by TME and >2/3 of the parts are out of stock or non-stocked. Horrific site UX also. Finding anything is a crapshoot, so use other sites to find them and enter the MPN to check if it is available. They also have a strange selection of passives if I remember right. Like a lot of pieces from different lines, but missing most of the values in the specific manufacturer line.
Farnell: they don’t sell to people without a VAT number in mainland Europe because of some stupid “people were asking too much support” bullshit excuse years ago. They have the best selection of the 3, they actually have nRF MCUs and a decent selection of interfaces, opamps, and ICs like fuel guages. IIRC their inductor selection is worse than others. You can order from UK farnell in the EU I believe. Owned by an american company. They are the only ones with sparkfun/adafruit board of the major distributers IIRC and only a small selection.
Sinuss.nl “alternative” to farnell apparently. Literally 3-4x the price of almost everything. A dirt cheap stm32C011F6U6 that is 0.80€ on all other shops is 3.50€ there without shipping included and the only time I have ordered from them, they messed it up. Stay away!!!
Also, the fucking STM webshop from the European company doesn’t have a warehouse in Europe or east Asia and ships from damn Texas. Getting a sample of a cheap part is like 50€
If I am being honest, we have a TON of electronics and IC intellectual property in Europe, but the manufacturing and distribution of those designs is disgraceful and almost all goes through the US first.
If you are looking for modules and not PCB design: Tinytronics.nl, opencircuit.nl, and kiwi-electronics are the best
I bet you any amount of money that if you did a survey 20 years ago, you would get 90-95% saying that it is a wild conspiracy theory and isn’t true.
Sadly, I think this is opening many many Americans’ eyes.
Wasn’t the last thinkphone from 2024?
Would be nice, but the last think phone had mediatek instead of Qualcomm so I don’t know if that will be the case (mediatek seems a lot harder to make custom ROMs for and there aren’t too many).
But modeled after the first think phone would be awesome. USB 3.1, wireless charging, decent camera for its time, but no SD card slot or headphone jack…
SUSE released a set of completely open source sans serif font for targeted at os-level fonts. It is a pretty good font and I started using it on many of my systems.
