I use nVidia shield TV with a dumb video projector. I haven’t bothered with a custom launcher.

Using the Internet makes you subject to TLA spying.

I use many software installation sources, including Obtainium from GitHub. I do not assign the same trust levels to each. E.g. F-Droid at least has some shallow level of review for the packages they build.

It’s a privacy hardened Fennec available from the GOS Accrescent app installation source. I only use Vanadium for sites that don’t run in it.

Tried Ironfox yet?

Starlink is 2/3rds of all satellites. They add 5-6 per day, lose one per day.

It has been sold as just an init system to people who argued it’s a Katamari Damacy. We now know who was right.

Remember when they said “relax, it’s just an init system, no biggie”? Pepperidge farm remembers.

That sure didn’t stop Russia from blanket banning VPNs.

Abstract

The escalating energy consumption of existing artificial intelligence hardware has become a serious global issue that demands immediate action. Neuromorphic computing offers promises to drastically reduce this footprint. Here, we introduce multicomponent p-type Hf(Sr,Ti)O2 thin films for energy-efficient, resistive switching–based neuromorphic devices. We demonstrate interfacial memristors with ultralow switching currents (≤~10−8 A), exceptional cycle-to-cycle and device-to-device uniformities, and retention >105 s. They reveal hundreds of ultralow conductance levels with a modulation range of >50 (without reaching any saturation) and reproducibly satisfy unsupervised learning rules. This performance originates from incorporating a self-assembled p-n heterointerface between p-type Hf(Sr,Ti)O2 and n-type TiOxNy, resulting in a fully depleted space-charge layer asymmetrically extended into Hf(Sr,Ti)O2, a large built-in potential, and extremely low saturation current density under reverse bias. Ultralow conductance modulation is controlled by tuning p-n heterointerface’s energy-barrier height through electro-ionic charge migration. This materials-engineering strategy addresses energy consumption and variability in existing memristors, opening a pathway toward energy-efficient neuromorphic computing systems.

I use the browser with a hardware TAN generator, though my bank’s app works fine on GOS.

I don’t trust my smartdevices farther than I can throw them. Hence, I run GrapheneOS.

It just works. Some banking apps won’t.

Name me an (IT) consulting company which isn’t pushing AI.

Ukraine and Russia are western countries. Narco cartels have started using fpv drones, too.

There are plenty of very safe HEs.

Plastic explosive triggered by electrodetonator is quite safe.

I have no beef with Apple but with its users, who want from Apple something which it is not selling.

The Great Chinese Firewall isn’t nearly as oppressive.

A lot of legitimate connections are affected. There is a whitelist of mostly useless services and Telegram users are being MAX-herded. There currently seems to be no VPN that works reliably, out of the box.
