Do you replace the power banks to keep them charged to 70%? Maybe also add some ham radios and walkie talkies to the stash.

I mean if you get it in a mail and then use a qr code reader you should be able to skip the decode step if the qr code contents were included directly as a link. If the code does not contain a link, then using a qr code reader won’t help I think, and there will be no way to forward it to the correct banking app.

Look if you can directly share the image with your banking app.

Or see if the qr code scanner in your banking app can open a local image file.

They can’t even be bothered to add the link to the mail?

I bet they just copy/pasted the default filter as per company policy. No punishment needed, works just as intended.

Generally true, but I had cases where I got multiple captcha without vpn, and not even a single one with VPN enabled…

That would require mining operations to be cheaper than the higher chinese export prices. I do not know if that is possible with labour costs, environmental requirements, permits and other obligations.

With their slow print speed, those cheaper tank inkjets are maybe usable for mostly paperless offices, or a home user that likes to print more often. You’d have to print at least one or two color pages per month to keep the jets clean.

There are some inkjet options that do not follow that pricing model. The printers with an ink tank (epson ecotank, canon megatank, …) with ink for 3000 pages start at about $150, but are probably slower than the laser.

This bootkit is not unkillable yet. If the diagram is correct, then it installs itself on the EFI partition and not the EFI Firmware.

Someone has to pay for that work. Either volunteers are donating their time, corporations “donate” work of their employees or hire it out because use of the project generates profits for them and they recognize not everyone can be a parasite (The FOSS model)

The other alternative is users paying directly.

If you want to use a closed source os, then pay for updates or you will be monetized on other ways. (In the case of MS that would be ads or the OS is just an incidental product used to drive sales of software or cloud computing)

A subscription for continued support seems fair. (If there are no ads).

I know. I meant switch back to signal if signal added official support.

This is the way. I might be open to switch back if they [signal] added [official] support for unified push, though

Meanwhile Australia is going to fore carriers to disconnect customers with devices that are not guaranteed to support emergency calling over volte. As there are still unsolved problems with detecting that, the providers fall back to only allowing devices they provided themselves.

And that is why I pay for my own domain. The service can change, but my domain is eternal (or near enough for my purposes)

I wonder how fast a turnaround would really be. Can all the checks be run on the launchpad and how likely are repairs that cannot be done there?

The VPN is really not much more than white labelled mullvad + the browser extension with separate VPN servers per container.

The AI will be called GLaDOS

… Spin … Spin … Spin …

… Remember that you turned off your VPN

… Turn it on

… CF: OK, only humans use VPN, no need to show the challenge

Which is only available for a limited set of devices, does not have root, locks the bootloader again and is probably professional enough to get banks to approve their signing key. For those reasons it is nor a viable solution for everyone.
