  • (I haven't really used them a lot in the heat yet) Last enclosure was ASA, but AFAIK, black ABS is OK too because black pigment absorbs most of the light/UV, preventing plastic from degrading as fast

  • For offline navigation on Linux, have you looked at osmin? It was pretty decent on a PinePhone.

    How do you handle power-off? Does Raspberry Pi just shut down? My thoughts were to use Alpine or some RAM-based OS that would not corrupt SD card or the hard drive.

    I have been messing around with building an in-car navigation from e-waste for a while now. Right now, I settled on an old smartphone with OsmAnd and wrote my own app to view the reverse camera.

  • I see Microsoft Dynamics 365 and would like to introduce you its little brother: Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The language is C/AL, offshoot of Pascal, code editor does not support multi-line selection (let alone any features like highlighting or navigation), and source code control is managed by locking files.

  • Recently, saw some survey that explicitly said 1-7 is "poor", 7-8 is "OK", and 9-10 is "great". Wild, not sure what the point of the scale is then.

    Same with book ratings. Looking at StoryGraph, the average ratings I see is somewhere between 3.5 and 4.5. While I would rate a decent book a 3.

    Born in Eastern Europe, live in the US, maybe that's why.

  • "Akshually, photo is not a file" is how iOS did it. Blew my mind when I tried to sync my files (Syncthing/Möbius) and it would not show any of the photos in file lists. Apparently it's for "security reasons".

    This was several years ago so IDK if it's the same still.

  • Google Says iPhone Adoption Of RCS Has Led Users To Share 'More Than A Billion' Messages Daily, Yet SMS/MMS Still Reign Supreme In The U.S.

    Jump

  • I run GrapheneOS and can send RCS to both Androids and iPhones mostly without issues. But then, my GrapheneOS is still the actively supported version, so I don't know what will happen in a few years.

    The only reason I have Google Messages is for RCS.

  • What feels illegal but isn't?

    Jump

  • I was always under the impression that the fraudulent intent (outside of extremly blatant cases) would be very difficult to prove in court or otherwise. If a car is used to meet clients or haul some company-related cargo, it is used for business. If a company is a real estate developer, it is expected for them to own and lease residential properties. If the owners' family members work for the company, they must collect salary. And so on.

  • What feels illegal but isn't?

  • A popular scheme I have seen is:

    Owner registered and de-facto runs an incorporated Company. Company employs Owner and pays them a small salary (down to state minimum wage even), so Owner minimizes the income tax they pay.

    The car Owner drives is owned by the Company for "business purposes", which allows the car to be operated within 50 miles of the Company (and farther with supplemental insurance). Company counts the car purchase/lease, maintenance, gas as expenses, bringing down the bottom line.

    Flights, travel, meals could be paid by the Company, as long as it's tangentially "business related".

    The house Owner lives in (or several houses for the family) is owned by the Company and is rented to Owner for very cheap, so Company pays the taxes, maintenance, etc, breaking even, or taking a loss on this house. Again, this brings down the company's bottom line.

    Somehow, purchases for a Company can be exempt from sales taxes, too.

    In the end, on paper, the Company is barely making any profit, but the Owner might be enjoying a nice car, nice house, and vacations. All for "business purposes" of course. While you pay taxes on your income and purchases like an idiot

  • Not looking for a dumbphone at the moment, but

    There’s a KaiOS jailbreaking community ... I’ve seen an XMPP client and a Matrix one too.

    This is good and opens up a path for using other messengers via bridges.

  • Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year'

    Jump

  • Right... My favorite "promise" so far was the Tesla SpaceX edition (with rocket boosters or microjets or some shit, IDK doesn't make sense) and die-hard fans defending this PR stunt as "the car that might fly".

  • A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy

  • Plus, AFAIK, Purism is one of the few companies that pays their developers to write FOSS code, which produced the Phosh UI, basic call and text apps, and mobile-friendly UI library.

  • By "nonstandard SIM" do you mean one of two common SIM sizes that are not "nano", which is preferred by current phones?

    GNSS means it's global. Which includes US GPS, as well as Europe's Galileo, Russia's GLONASS, and China's BeiDou. Wikipedia

  • I just installed Miniflux on my server as well.

    Advantages (in my opinion) are: Package is in Debian repos (safe and no compilation needed), software is a static binary (thus does not require docker and only needs postgreSQL), documentation is good.
