who cares about Windows mobile

This isn't about a Netflix app on Windows Mobile. It's about Windows, the desktop OS app.

No, it actually isn't. TRIM doesn't erase data.

Trim marks blocks for deletion. It doesn't delete anything.

Without Nixon opening up trade relations with China when he did, China is probably still a largely agrarian nation today. They certainly wouldn't have industrialized as quickly as they did. The US did that, for better or worse.

Not sure if that version supports them, but there's a FLAC plugin for Winamp.

SaltySalamander , 3 days ago

Maybe I would try an Android version

Have at it. It's been there for as long as I've owned an Android phone.

100%, but they cost the card companies a hell of a lot more to produce. Ergo, plastic.

The !electronics community would be a better fit for this post IMO

Seeing as how it's a dead community, no, it really wouldn't be a better fit.

Proton doesn't provide IMAP/SMTP access for free accounts, so you won't be able to encrypt emails locally

Umm, you absolutely can. Use gpg, encrypt the txt, copy the encrypted text into the email. EZPZ.

It's basic common sense. I understand that some people simply don't have any.

More like telling people what they can't reproduce. A pretty important distinction.

No, it'll just lock out the common man running an LLM in a homelab completely from it. No biggie I guess.

Get a free tool.

Bitch incessantly about said free tool.

News flash, the tool wasn't made for you.

Under the hood, the engine is the exact same engine that powers Chrome. They didn't fork it, it's Chromium.

SaltySalamander , 20 days ago

Chromium isn't proprietary, it's open source.

They didn't say it couldn't be done, just that it isn't the default way it sets itself up and requires more work.

Without the rest of Google, Youtube doesn't exist, because it doesn't make any money and it costs a shitload of money to run.

Google's actual businesses aren't Android, or Chrome, or Youtube (not including Youtube TV). They're AdSense, Google Cloud, their hardware division, the Play Store, the aforementioned Youtube TV, etc. Those are the things that make Google money, and really the only things you could realistically split off from Google and expect to still exist in a year or two.

At that point is where mine and your opinion diverge. In what sustainable business does one sell more of anything than they can maintain responsibility over?

What they're talking about is the mobile provider overselling service. Because they know that for the vast majority of the time, everyone isn't going to be demanding huge amounts of bandwidth all at the same time. Cable/GPON fiber ISPs do the same thing.

The fact that Meta is doing this makes me suspicious. Here in Canada, they booted off news organizations

You can blame Canada for this, not Meta. Canadian news orgs tried to extort them, Meta said no thanks, as is their right.

Privateinternetaccess.com's VPN servers log nothing, and run their entire systems in RAM. If you want a VPN that's truly private, use them. They can't sell your data, because they retain nothing to sell.

It's always funny to see someone who thinks they know how it works but in reality has no clue whatsoever how it works.
