  • Why spend 50€ for Fairphone to install e/OS for you?

    Jump

  • Mostly because they spend the time developing an O/S you want. I bought my first android (fairphone 3) from them, and my next will be from whatever people spend their effords on the firmware (e/os/, iodé, etc)

    The major bummer is that Murena only support your phone if you keep the O/S version on it it was sold with. That seems somewhat nuts, but …

  • iOS 26 sync to older macOS?

    Jump

  • Good news, I feared they'd taken the opportunity to jettison some older versions. Not all the way up to 26, but I personally feared Monterey was in danger.

  • Citroen e-c3

    Jump

  • There’s USB-C. I’m a little worried about connecting my phone to a USB-C port I don’t own. Tin foil hattism, I didn’t duck any stars for that.

  • EU countries push France to accept UK and Canadian access to €150bn defence fund

    Jump

  • France has a point, in a potential UK Farage administration, we could see US, UK and neo-USSR as the new tripartite pact and EU would have helped finance its own subjugation.

  • Citroen e-c3

    Jump

  • Rented an EV (in Germany) and got the ë-C3. First time EV’ing, so I clearly don’t know what I’m talking about, but:

    • got 200-220km on a full charge (when a bit of motorway was involved
    • EVs are clearly not built for speed, but the C3 made it to 134kph indicated (specs say 135, so they’re at least close there)
    • handling was cheap-SUV-like
    • equipment sparse (like rain-sensor wipers seem to be standard on all (other) cars today)
    • hard to judge the size when parking in close quarters and the proximity sensors are (as always) overreacting (though this is probably not a long-term issue)
    • roomy in the front at least
    • sound system decent

    (For a French car, it took us a while to find the cigarette lighter (for charging purposes). Spoiler: it’s in the back)

  • Elon Musk calls for dissolution of parliament at far-right rally in London

    Jump

  • Seems like petition-time. They would never leave it, but at least they’d be forced to acknowledge publicly that they support an outspoken enemy of UK democracy.

  • Prince Harry makes surprise visit to Ukraine pledging support for thousands injured in war

  • He'll make a supportive reality TV series about their hardships?

  • Facial recognition vans to be rolled out across police forces in England

  • Oh, “strict rules”? No problem, then. Also, I’m looking to acquire a bridge, would you part with one of those?

  • Finland leads new Digital Sovereignty Index with highest number of self-hosted deployments across 60 countries | Nextcloud blog

    Jump

  • Would be interesting to see this with EU (or EEA) combined. As a starting point, largely same rules apply and intra-EU dependency is probably far preferable than depending on less friendly jurisdictions. (And short term it's far more realistic than a leap to complete autonomy.)

  • From the day Britain left the EU, this reset was inevitable. What a pointless waste of time, money and effort

    Jump

  • What would an EU presidents authority be? The point is that currently all EU laws voted on in the European Parliament and are ratified by member states (that’s a legislative problem of its own when not all member states are leaning the same political direction, as Hungary demonstrates), while the EU executive is just that: executing member states decision.

    Making the travelling circus an issue is akin to BJ’s 350mil bus. It’s a large number, but in a 400-450mil bloc, look at the context too. Did UK save it’s contribution to said circus by leaving?

    And yes, bigger administration, bigger corruption (when people are caught). The world today, sadly, doesn’t favour the small and valiant.

  • And the US after that facebook guy went to SGP prior to the IPO. It’s a little ew in my (personal) book — a cover charge to leave the bar if you still have money for more drinks, but hey …

  • The Convoluted Way Intel’s 386 Implemented Its Registers

    Jump

  • The fact that x86. Hasn’t changed its foundation much, isn’t that just a combination of hardware making up for original design shortcomings, while economy keeping better solutions at bay? (Not a chip guy, I’m likely wrong.)

  • The Convoluted Way Intel’s 386 Implemented Its Registers

    Jump

  • Never did SPARC assembly, but ISTR their registers were basically a ring of groups of registers allowing fast context switches as long as the call depth stayed shallow (fsvo shallow). When the ring was exhausted, you had to stash away in memory.

  • Parliament debated tightening the rules on political donations

    Jump

  • It was hardly a debate, seemed like they all ostensibly agreed. Now whether they agree enough to kick their collective habits or it was all posturing will be interesting to see.

    Seemed the government was unwilling to limit amounts, that’s maybe a little disappointing, but I obviously don’t know the problems involved.

  • How I Discovered My Smart TV Was Spying On Me

    Jump

  • Ouch! TIL “HEC.” Presumably the device you connect to needs to proxy that channel. My LG TV keeps saying it needs an internet connection to access any of its smart features, so I guess my Apple TV doesn’t do that (or my TV is sneakier than I’d like to believe).

    Thanks, good to know.

    Edit: seems the ethernet channell is used by ARC, which newer apple TVs supports, so that’s probably crowding out support for HEC. This also suggests HEC isn’t widely supported. I can settle down again.

  • They can even use non-streaming protocols, such as HDMI, to send data back to the manufacturer or share it with advertisers.

  • This or This? You said europe, not EU so a little off mark. Both are made in Europe which I for that particular product, I think is important.
