Oh boy, you haven’t met some Dell Optiplexes.

That shit, for whatever reason, can’t boot from internal DVD drive. I tried with 2 of them. Both had functional drives, I tried disabling secure boot, enabling legacy boot and some other settings which seemed related, but nothing worked. Then for shits and giggles I tried a USB DVD drive and that worked just fine.

I mean, they have a hole in the middle, so if I stack them they let stuff pass.

Meanwhile me with a CD book that has 17 bootable DVDs and CDs plus a separate DVD+RW for more random, less permanent crap and a portable USB DVD drive (the drive is sourced from e-waste and fails to write both DVD+/-RW and CD-RW at 4x, only 2.4x and 10x respectively work).

I like spinny media.

I mean, I also have a Ventoy disk, but I haven’t used it for a looooong time because it’s no fun, but discs are.
I just need a bigger backpack. The WRT54GL is taking up quite some space too.

Much cooler than ventoy, no?

I often see people reply in other languages, even under English posts (usually in German over here).

It will be opt-in, right?

Sounds like an excuse to get some AI training data. Or just data to be sold to random carefully selected partners.

Yes.

The fuck? (Edit: Although, does it have a map?)

Hmm…

AliExpress has no right to be that large, neither Opera. No reason to store that much cache. (Edit: cache and cookies are only around 500MB total. Hmmm…) Also, I set F-Droid to keep cached apps for 1 hour, what the hell is this?

I kind of forgot to manage my storage, as I usually do until I have like 5GB left…

Data will always adapt to storage size.

I wondered how the hell it managed to fool LIDAR, well…

The stunt was meant to demonstrate the shortcomings of relying entirely on cameras — rather than the LIDAR and radar systems used by brands and autonomous vehicle makers other than Tesla.

They even have Android app. I mean, a server app.
Anyway, they still seem to paywall some things.

It still helps with localization on websites so that I get better results (for me).

But also, my ISP’s IPs have such awesome reputation that in certain places I get less Captchas on Mullvad. For example on Google in incognito or reset browser.

Plus it still helps privacy-wise. ISP doesn’t know what I connect to, destination doesn’t know my (ISP’s) IP.

The only thing I don’t use VPN for is, ironically, torrents. The only stuff I torrent is legal, and it’s faster this way.

Downvote this to demonstrate. You can also enable upvote % in user settings.

Based on previous post, OP is 24.

Fuck it, this is Lemmy, let me cite the sources.

Your title is missing s in news.

I did nothing. After using either the default 200MB or the 80MB I pay for it’s supposed to be throttled, but that kinda just… doesn’t happen. I activated a 2nd SIM of those yesterday, same thing. The most I used in a month was some 28GB (out of 80MB), getting me as much as 150Mbps in cities covered by LTE-A from Telekom (this SIM can connect to Telekom, Orange and O2).

Though I just went back to my previous carrier and keep this as a backup. The second SIM I put into a USB modem. May come in handy if I finally decide to try Tailscale.

Searching around, I found someone with the same “issue” for a different provider on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContract/comments/ntul3w/unlimited_data_sim_for_only_45year/

Also a one that was meant to have 64kbps unlimited, but it just… wasn’t throttled. But based on one comment they fixed it later which I assume will happen here too. Almost 4 months so far though.

But perhaps they just don’t care that much. Based on ToS I can be charged extra €1.30/GB (excl. VAT) since I use permanent roaming, and perhaps I will as it is defined as >50% of usage in EU roaming for the past 4 months. Maybe they just rely on that to kick in…? Also the data warning states “…may be probably temporarily restricted.”, which is just so oddly phrased.

But most likely scenario, someone just fucked up the config.

I found yet another such fuck up here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/c6ilbp/bought_the_new_15gb_international_data_pass_didnt/

Dude used up 24GB out of 15GB high-speed data pass.

It can happen both ways though. My current carrier accidentally (I hope) set the limit to half the one stated in ToS. This was reversed already. I assume it was an accident, because they plainly stated the incorrect limit in SMS as well.

Honestly, please do. Don’t try to deduce it from UA or worse yet, aspect ratio. The results are predictable this way. Or maybe have 3 subdomains, m.example.org for mobile, d.example.org for desktop, example.org for auto.

Leopards? Faces?

The workaround may be using guns as dildos, which would probably be more obtainable in Texas anyway.

I am just reading this on my laptop, sitting on a bed in shrimp-like shape with laptop (a ThinkPad of course) on top of egg carton (called Eggsbox 360 based on The Two Ronnies skit) which is on top of a pillow while listening to music from a CD being played on an e-waste sourced 5.25" DVD drive attached via SATA to USB that can only reliably load CDs (perhaps because the USB provided power is less than half max spec of 2A) and accessing the internet via USB cellular modem using cheap IoT SIM that has broken (not applied) throttling (instead of 64/32kbps).
