Unlike an expensive phone, where the initial purchase may have been made with the expectation to still get a couple hundred after a few years, I see no connection whatsoever between your buying second hand fast fashion and the first buyer’s purchase decision. They would have bought it regardless of whether it would become trash or second hand.

In short: no.

Because the article is terribly low on actual information, below is the spec for 5G network locations services. In short, the network can ask devices to assist in locating them. Without the users consent or knowledge.

My best guess is that apple will reduce in accuracy or outright remove those features. Unless the user dials an emergency number of course.

Also, the devices named are the first ones with apples own modem, so it can be assumed that Qualcomm did not give Apple sufficient access to their modems to do this.

ADP is good. Use the iCloud foto upload. In the settings of the fotos app enable unlimited mobile data. In the mobile network settings enable „more data over 5G“. After recording if possible go to the fotos app and tell it to continue syncing if it stops because you are on battery or not on wifi, which it still sometimes does despite the settings. Before someone takes your phone click the side button five times. That disables faceid and makes it harder to unlock with spy tools.

Also in the Face ID settings:

Disable masks

Enable require attention (if the phone still accepts faceid and someone holds it to your face to unlock it, close your eyes and keep them closed. Don’t squint.)

Enable „erase data“ (after 10 attempts. Makes it practically impossible to bruteforce the phone).

That’s a great question!

I am not a bot, but a real human person:

• I am composed of flesh, blood, and a vague sense of purpose.
• I am capable of independent thought (often at 2am).
• For reasons science has yet to fully explain, I require regular social interaction.

If you’re seeking conversation, I can suggest a few topics. Or, if preferred, you may upload your current emotional state for review.

You could be in the right to shoot an unlawful attacker. Although you will also likely get shot yourself that way.

I wash them on saturdays, usually each week but sometimes every other week. The ones for showering get dried quickly after use on the upstairs handrail (bathroom is kinda small). The hand towels have a small heated holder in the bathroom, so they don’t get a chance to ripen as well. Face towels after each use.

Replacement only if they get thin or holey. And then they become cleaning rags.

That was an interesting read - and indeed a citation. Thank you.

However, there are one serious and one minor flaw in their arguments:

That the collection point for the money is constrained to be in Nigeria doesn’t seem a plausible reason either. If the scam goes well, and the user is willing to send money, a collection point outside of Nigeria is surely not a problem if the amount is large enough.

That is simply an unproven assumption, and a wrong one at that. And it leads me to doubt the depth of that persons knowledge of Nigerian scams.

While scammers from Nigeria do have methods to collect money that victims have sent to another country (through accomplices or unwitting mules), those come with additional costs and risks. And that is usually not worth it in the initial stages of the scam, when the amount is not „large enough“, usually a few hundred, maybe thousand dollars. Only when the victim is „committed“ by sending a small amount do they usually increase their demands, and then it is of course worth it to produce eg a bank account or even offer a meeting in the west.

As a side note: there has been a bit of a shift in Nigerian scamming over the last few years. Scammers seem to move from the „traditional“ advance fee fraud over to romance scamming, which they often do under a „western“ false identity, and for which they prefer gift cards and bitcoin as payment. It would be interesting to see if that is more than correlation.

Only when potential victims respond does the labor-intensive and costly effort of following up by email (and sometimes phone) begin.

While this is not entirely false, it is inaccurate. Scammers usually have at least the first few emails prepared, so the first few replies (in which they explain a bit more) are nothing more than copy and paste - not exactly „costly effort“. Quite often those first emails also include small tasks for the victim, like sending their passport scan, filling in forms or actively contacting someone else by email, which is an actual filter.

So you see, it’s a bit more complex than that meme „they are preselecting stupid people“.

I would like there to be a law that mandates a „fuck off“ button in general. Not just „yes, please steal my data now“ or „maybe later“.

Whatever you do, do look at a few different options. Some refurbished computers can have huge price differences between sellers.

Luckily part of our body is the brain and some brains are very good at finding solutions to our body’s problems. Break the cycle by getting a decongestant spray, ibuprofen and a neti pot.

I am still looking for a tool that would capture live streams on YouTube and can automatically resume when connection problems occur. yt-dlp handles the streams well, except it often needs to be restarted for longer running streams, which requires constant attention. Does this „fire and forget“ yt-dlp or does it keep watch over it?

Given the problems SLI and crossfire had with more than one gpu, but in the same system, I doubt even valve would be able to combine different devices in a very meaningful way. The best I can imagine would be a pc rendering a game which is streamed to a steam deck, which in turn throws all its resources on FSR-like upscaling. Or, in case of a VR device that it handles interframe generation and reprojection locally on a stream rendered by a different device.

Of course I would like to be proven wrong.

Funny how I never once criticized, or even mentioned, IPv6s complexity, yet that is the aspect you chose to so valiantly defend. Quite telling, isn’t it?

You are right, but I wish ipv6 was less shitty of a replacement.

Way of the road
