It is still the same installation method, directly installing the .apk file, from way back when the term for Android usage was defined. So, kinda, but also kinda not. Also, if you do use ADB to do the install from a PC, the command is “ADB sideload filename” which will do the transfer and installation to the memory directly. Then it truly is sideloading as defined.

Android doesn’t use ROMs (Read-only Memory) any more either, because the filesystems are now writable. But Lineage etc are still called custom ROMs, because the end result hasn’t changed.

It’s not a “bullshit new term”, it’s three decades old and means transferring files locally from one device to another, instead of directly downloading or uploading from/to an external server.

The origin goes back to MP3.com and i-drive in late 90’s, but the most common sideloading people did was downloading music to their PC using services like iTunes, and transferring them to their mp3 players. As they did often with early PDA and smartphone apps, where the term for Android comes from - get the .apk on your computer, transfer it to your phone, and install it.
Sideloading.

Which would still not be perfect because “foo@bar”, “foo@[123.123.123.123]” and “💩 @[IPv6 :::1]” are all technically valid email addresses.

It looks like the only validation that doesn’t block something valid pretty much would start and end at “It has at least one @ symbol, and something on both sides”.

Artists I follow post mostly either on X or Instagram, which I don’t find to be much better of an alternative. All that have mastodon or bluesky accounts I’ve switched over, but many do not because there aren’t enough users.

But I haven’t actually tweeted anything for something over a decade now?

Ah, such nostalgia. I used a complex password until they forced monthly resets on us and I forgot mine a few times. After that, “FuckingPassword1”, “FuckingPassword2”, FuckingPassword3" etc with a mysterious post-it note on my table with a single number. Very memorable, still remember it well after a decade.

Traditionally, convection ovens have a fan at the back that pushes air over the food and around the oven, while air friers have a fan on top that draws the air through the food from the bottom. But for majority of the use cases, the results are very similar and I’m sure convection ovens that work the same way also exist.

Open any wikipedia article about “x nm process” and one of the first paragraphs will be something like this:

The term “2 nanometer”, or alternatively “20 angstrom” (a term used by Intel), has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch) of the transistors. According to the projections contained in the 2021 update of the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a “2.1 nm node range label” is expected to have a contacted gate pitch of 45 nanometers and a tightest metal pitch of 20 nanometers.[1]

It used to be that the “60nm process” was called that because the transistor gate was 60nm.

Because it isn’t? I’m comparing it to other hubless designs, stuff like this.

Top tip, buy a used enterprise laptop. You can get one hell of a deal when big companies throw their entire lineup out after a few years and flood the market. Some have a few scuffs here and there, but others are mint after sitting plugged to a dock for the last three years in a row.
Might need a new battery though, so research how easy it’s to swap and calculate that in the cost just in case.

At least it being a fully integrated hub(less) electric motor makes it a much more sensible of a solution than many other tries with all kinds of belt drives and gears and cogs and stuff.

Even the tire change is pretty simple.

Partly because doing so risks that they might decide to invest in their own production instead, and therefore not buy any electricity from you at all which would result in loss of demand, and a reduction in overall electricity cost.
Like how rising a bus ticket fare by 10% means you will lose some customers because they decide to walk instead, so your profit increase will be lower than that 10%. Raise it too much, and almost everyone walks, and you sell no tickets.

And it’s a lot harder to build your own solar or wind farm if you are a person living in an apartment building.

I haven’t, that’s the point.
If a Raspi going from $25 to $145, an increase of 5.8x is fine, and a Zero from a decade back being twice the price today, then surely when you go from $10/GB of DDR4 to new shiny modern DDR5, that increase of 5.8x is all fine too. Just buy that decade old DDR4 for double the launch price if you think it’s too expensive.
And from looking at DIMMprice, it’s still “only” around $25/GB, that’s a pure bargain right?

Obviously neither of them are fine and both situations are utterly outrageous.

I’ve kinda come to expect in the last three decades I’ve been following this stuff that hardware has the tendency to both get better and cheaper as time goes on.
Like, RAM isn’t really expensive at all right now either if you think selling an 8GB stick of DDR4 for $160 today fine, as that is also 10 year old hardware at double the launch price.

So it’s not that I expect being able to buy an old Raspi model for $25 or $5, I expect to be able to the buy a newer better one without having to pay up to six times as much.
It’s hilarious that those older models tend to be more expensive used than what they originally cost. Are we getting the housing bubble in tech hardware now too?

Pepperridge farm remembers when a Raspi was $25 and you could get a Zero for $5. I also remember it still being too expensive, so I bought a comperable OrangePi for $11 instead.

Your temperatures are too low even for the datasheet specified storage conditions of the resin (15-35C), trying to print with it that cold is simply a fools errand.

If the image is moving it gets really trivial to uncensor.

Here’s a quick three-minute video about it from Level 2 Jeff.

IIRC there’s still like 700TB of low popularity music missing, but it is only something like 0.4% of listens.
And they need a more storage overall because they have to set up datecenters around the world - doesn’t make sense to stream tens of millions of connections across the ocean. But that also gives all the backups one would need for “free”.

No no is clearly the thinnest iPhone ever, just look at it, can’t see anything wrong calling it that. So thin. Amazing, how can apple do such a marvel of engineering.

Just use Intel CPUs and you’ll understand, as they seem to invent a new incompatible socket every five minutes requiring a new mobo.

Mumbling “Hey google, turn the lights off” from bed and the entire house going dark is pretty nice though.
