The situation is more dangerous than when support for Windows 7 ended in early 2020. Even before the official date, at the end of 2019, only around 20 percent of users were still using Windows 7. Over 70 percent were already using the new Windows 10.

There is still ESET Endpoint for Linux, but that’s for business users only.
Regular ESET NOD32 for home Linux desktop users was discontinued in August 2022.

Yeah, told the genie I want to be smart. Motherfucker turned me into a car.

Sleep, wait until the end. Just keep mostly going as usual, I won’t care about anything afterwards.

Only difference, I’d donate all my money. Perhaps, I’d try to get one of those smaller loans some banks offer instantly (without giving a reason) and donate that too. Not sure if mine does that as well.

But perhaps if I wasn’t a coward and nobody knew I was going to die anyway, I’d attempt to commit suicide for statistical reasons.

Makes me think about time travel again, because in this case the event could be caused by the time travel. I mean, the traveller goes back in time to cause an event that already happened. Perhaps that’s the only reason why I was going to die.
Could it work this way?
Oh, wait, that’s how it was in Interstellar, no? If you travel to the past you can only do things that cause you to travel to the past and do the exact same things.
Huh…

I am getting off-topic.

But it seems it was given access to some sandbox and ability to run commands in it. It then copied over what it believed was itself.

scp project/model_20_09_2024.bin user@model_deployment_v2:project/model_27_09_2024.bin

And just for fun: There’s also Unihertz Tank 3 Pro which additionally has 5G and… A BUILT-IN PROJECTOR, because why not. But it’s also quite a bit more expensive. Of course, more performance for that price too.

That said, I’m a heavy phone user, and I’ve never had a phone that reliably lasts me a full day.

Same. This time I just said “fuck it”, and got a phone with huge battery. I mean, really huge. Lasts me 3 days when kept between ~ 20 - 90%. God knows what that percentage really means though.
It still shows 3.68V at “5%”, and keeps charging long past “100%”, so the way to ensure actual full charge is only with a USB tester. It also has some weird bugs with charging, so I recommend using a regular dumb 5V-only adapter or charge-only cable. In short - repeating split-second overvoltage on QC adapters, and no PC data after charging with original adapter until restart.
I don’t need to charge it during the day, so this is OK enough.

Anyway, most people would probably not want this. The battery is 22,000 mAh. Yes, really. And the phone is also 27.5 mm / 1.08 inch thick and 647g / 1.43lbs heavy. As I said, most people would probably not want this.

For comparison with your Pixel 2, it’s like 3 and a half of them stacked thick, and 4 and a half of them heavy.

Ulefone Armor 24. A cheap bug-ridden experience. However, a unique one.

Look at Samsung Galaxy XCover FieldPro: https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-introduces-galaxy-xcover-fieldpro-rugged-smartphone-thats-built-tough-field-ready/

It was basically Samsung Galaxy S9 but in a rugged body, targeted for first responders and alike. Highlight:

Powered to last the day. With a replaceable 4500mAh battery and POGO pin charging, running low on charge is never a concern. XCover FieldPro ships with an extra battery and is field replaceable, meaning staff can easily swap out batteries while at work.

MIL-STD-810G, Anti-shock, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance

You can’t really make an excuse for “waterproofing” after making device like this.

I’d really love something like this honestly. Physical navigation buttons and dock charging. Mmmmm. It makes so much sense on rugged phones.
Thanks for the higher sensitivity “glove mode”, but give me buttons as well, damn it!

Maybe once all devices just settle on PD rather than a billion different proprietary protocols for fast charging some of which even require non-standard cables (e.g.: Xiaomi TurboCharge).

Do you have an example?

The only time I can imagine someone asking someone else to smile is when taking photos.

I searched for “Femboy Putin”.

A bit unrelated, but if you have DD-WRT on WiFi router with USB, you can install Entware. There’s also a few games.

I used to play Tetris (vitetris) on my old WiFi router. I also tried to compile doom_ascii for MIPS, but I wasn’t successful and gave up. That was 5 months ago, so I basically forgot everything I tried already.
I have also tried to compile it directly on the WiFi router, but it kept crashing even when I killed all running services (including SSH and Telnet so I had to use console, at least it’s 115,200 baud) that weren’t necessary. I think 32MB of RAM was my problem.
Anyway, I doubt it would run on it anyway, but at least I tried.

List of games available (at least for MIPS): angband, cavezofphear, crawl, gnuchess, minesweep-rs, nethack, rcon, sudoku-tui, superstartrek, tty-solitaire, vitetris, zork.

Edit: Hmm, it seems at least very few Netgear switches may be supported by OpenWRT (e.g.: https://openwrt.org/toh/netgear/gs308t_1). Maybe there is potential to actually play games on that switch!

I’ll try, but I am not the smartest with lvl. 2 and 3.

Level 1: Sounding
Level 2: God
Level 3: Wrongdoing

Manufacturers are allowed to add supplementary charging standards on top of USB-C PD

Controversial opinion: I wish this wasn’t the case. So many different proprietary protocols, most of the time you’ll still need a specific adapter, and in some cases even a proprietary cable to utilize the full speed, and nowadays most devices come without the adapter.
And there’s even PPS in the PD spec allowing to request for a specific voltage rather than something in an existing list.

But I do also have some personal grievances here:

1. Mi TurboCharge - This may be something based on PD, but still being something separate. I don’t know, but I do know it requires more pins than USB-A has. 5 pins. Somewhere I read this is connected to a CC pin in the USB-C connector. But no, they did not use USB-C, they used USB-A, with an extra pin. Only shortly before the phone died I finally figured out why it wasn’t charging as fast as expected - I wasn’t using their proprietary cable.

2. My current phone’s interference (?) with Qualcomm QC 2.0 - Somehow when using a cable with non-perfect connection on QC-compatible adapters, when I move the USB-A connector, it starts triggering 12V mode until it finally shows overvoltage error and slows down to 7W. QC 2.0 is how my USB tester identifies it. This is a MediaTek-based device, so I don’t think it would support QC. The original adapter uses PD and some 11V 6A thing with unknown protocol. Perhaps that is where the problem originates, I don’t know what data it sends down. But testing with OTG adapter on the original brick it seems the protocol needs the extra pins of USB-C to work properly.

I’ve had 3 phones that supported some fast charging, so far 2 of them made it into a confusing mess. Had they all used just PD it would have been a better experience.

Maybe you would, maybe your family is, but not everyone is in your situation.

I know this is kind of an overused meme, but this does sound like something from 1984 by George Orwell.

I was raised in the nurturing embrace of the Party, studying without concern for anything in the world.

However, I betrayed my beloved Party, which had placed its trust in me, and committed acts of ingratitude against the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.
The sins I’ve committed are unforgivable, but my homeland has given me a chance for redemption, a fresh start in life.

Idea: In the future where wireless network speeds are high, the OS image just gets loaded into RAMdisk each time.
Marketing: You get the newest OS image on every boot, with all current security patches and no (3rd party) malware, as that would be wiped with each reboot. This will also allow for even higher performance than any SSD.

…yeah.
