because sometimes you need to investiagte an issue that happens only on the production machines, and you can't/shouldn't setup debugging on those.

Personally, I still prefer Android Auto (i.e. phone projected onto car screen) to Android Automotive (Android built into the car infotainment system). My phone gets way more updates than my car, and it's cheaper to buy a new phone once it stops getting updates.

I have the same sentiment towards smart TVs vs plain old "dumb" TVs + a streamer.

I miss Google Now... just swipe, and all the relevant information is there. No need to prompt it, no need to wait for a response, and no audio noise to get the information I need.

It was perfect for my needs.

I've already heard conspiracy theories about "the US government shutting down the internet" because someone misinterpreted this test.

I haven't done it myself, but I've seen videos - you'll need to de-solder the existing port (or whatever is left of it) and solder on a new one.

You use a keyboard and a peinter? weak! I throw magnets over the memory chips and use a multi-meter. /l334

One minor flaw in their reasoning: Johny Srouji is Arab (but evidently passes as white).

With my limited knowledge of cryptography, this is how I understand it:

The distinction to make is that the user's password is not the encryption key - it only gives access to the key. So even if the user has the same password on a new device, there would be no way to decrypt the data without the original key.

In order to maintain full privacy, data has to be encrypted on device before sending it through any server (whether to another participant in a chat, or for backup). This means that the encryption key has to be on device.

If that key was copied over to a location not controlled by the user (e.g. Telegram server), then that location would have access to the key and can decrypt any data encrypted by that key. In the same vein, if a user loses their phone then that encryption key must be lost, so encrypted data cannot be decrypted on a new phone.

Which means that the only way that Telegram can provide the chats on a new phone (when the user has no access to the old phone) is if they have access to the encryption key and can provide it to the new phone.

A Nokia 3100 ... it was the first phone I bought, and I kept it through college and beyond.

The thing was a beast :-)

128x128 pixel screen, with 12-bit RGB. No WiFi, no Bluetooth. Had some web access with WAP (no not that! "Wireless Access Protocol"). It did have a camera module though /rofl

And best of all, the battery lasted a week!

Hyperion is the first book in a 4-book series: Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, The Rise of Endymion.

If I recall correctly, the first two were supposed to be one book, but were split to two because the publisher wanted more money or something to that effect. So finishing the first book leaves you effectively hanging with a lot of unresolved threads.

By itself, Hyperion seems like a collection of loosely related stories in the same universe. But the rest of the books in the series answer a lot (if not all, read it a long time ago) of the question and threads in the first book.

I can't go into much detail without [mildly] spoiling the series, so I'll just say this: the story is told by different speakers, but it all ties in pretty well.

I've been happy with the Simple Tab Groups extension, but built-in support would be welcome, since it would have better access than an extension.

A bit more about the history and current state of Iqrit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iqrit

Israel and the IDF won't allow people to return to their lands there since 1948, and now they're using it to cry foul.

You may not find a use for it, and neither do I in my workflow. But think about accessibility - it might enable some users to perform tasks the find physically difficult using just their voice.

Or, you can go get a beer or a [slice of] pizza, and call out to vscode from across the room to build your app or start a server or something.

Magnetic connectors work well in this case, and you won't need that tape. But if you move your keyboard around a lot they might be a slightly worse solution than yours ;-)

Some tab grouping extensions use it to hide tabs that are not in the currently displayed group.
