Is calling voLTE audio working yet? I have the OP6T and have postmarketos edge installed but last time I updated it a few weeks ago voLTE still wasn’t working with audio in the calls. My last hold out to start using it as a daily driver.
I think if you reframe the action, it’ll make more sense why people are upset about this.
The way you see it: Some idiots created a new law, this guy was just compying with an unenforceable law, and its unenforceable, so why are people even bothering to get upset. They’re not even using hardware assetation to force this yet. He was just doing his job to follow the law to get this software deployed.
If you reframe it to this, I think it’ll make more sense:
Some idiots created a new unenforceable law. Did anyone from the government specifically reach out to this software team and demand they add this field? Did the software in any way get blocked from being deployed? Its unenforceable, why even bother voluntarily adding features no one wants, for an unenforceable law? They’re not even using hardware assetation yet to force this. Why make the lives easier for people who want to ruin things, by voluntarily adding these features without even being demanded to?
My workflow now has my machine connected to my displays 24/7, but years ago I had a workflow where I would take my work machine home with me and bring it back in the morning and connect it to a dock. I got so fed up with all the windows piling into the ‘main’ monitor and not remembering their locations, that I wrote a script using some tool I can’t remember now, that i’d set to a shortcut key, and it would throw the currently in focus window to the opposite monitor. Made it really fast to get to my working state where I wanted stuff. It wouldn’t work today because it was exploiting features of the X window system, so I doubt it would work in Wayland.
Huh, I feel better about my recent Latitude 5450 purchase then, damn. I didn’t realize we were soldering on WiFi chips now too. (In addition to ram soldering thats been going on for a while now)
I’m not defending how this was written, but they were clearly reinforcing how the person was unidentifiable from the students point of view.
“They didn’t know he was with the police? How??”
“Well he was unidentifiable.”
“What??”
“He was in plain cloths, how would anyone in the public, who doesn’t already know what the person looks like, identify him as part of the police?? Also why would a member of the police put a child in a choke hold, in addition to not identifying themselves??”
“Oh. Yeah, I guess you’re right”
Ah Tesla… I too attempt to accomplish tasks by being a leader and going completely insane.
Yup, my thoughts on this subject exactly and its so frustrating watching both tech people and non-tech people alike, adopt it in the guise of better battery life. The tech people should know better, but they either aren’t “hardware people” so they don’t know, or they do know, and don’t care.
Yup.
Its coming to light in modern times, that they realized they could grab land and money by accusing vulnerable people, and then just taking their land when they couldn’t defend themselves against a confession under torture.
There’s this weird phenomenon that people tend to think those in the past were less intelligent than now, when really it was history being spun a certain way. For example: the witch burning thing, most people accusing witches, etc didn’t actually believe that shit. Its coming to light in modern times, that they realized they could grab land and money by accusing vulnerable people, and then just taking their land when they couldn’t defend themselves against a confession under torture.
Keep in mind all the advancements and progress humans have made in mathemathics and sciences over the last few thousand years. Those people weren’t stupid, if they were doing stupid things, its probably because they were evil (like burning witches for their own financial gain)
Well old Patel showed up to I’m assuming ‘encourage’ them to go, so they’re probably all afraid for their families at this point.
– edit —
Oorrr they’re pieces of shit, apparently.
If you go this route and its a semi permanent solution, would probably be better to get a ip camera or something instead of a smart phone, that way you don’t have to worry about the phone battery going bad from being plugged in 24/7.
I messed around with compiz in the early 2000’s to get the rotating cube desktop, windows that burned themselves up with fire when you closed them, etc, etc… And I remember how much work it was to maintain all that stuff and keep it working after updates.
Eventually I stopped caring about things that were kinda neat but didn’t really add much actual functionality, and as I’ve gotten older, I’ve also just stopped caring about tweaking things visually to make it pretty and showcase a desktop or windows, that aren’t really visible unless you have 0 windows open.
As I’ve gotten older my DE and window manager, etc are just a tool to let me use my computer, whether for fun or work, but at the end of the day, I care much more about using my computer than I do endlessly tweaking things.
All that to say: I’m happy that people have the choice to have different DE’s and window managers, and endlessly tweak things, they come up with some cool desktops and interesting UX designs, but for me it’s just a tool at the end of the day.
Well, to be fair, the only people who seem to not think the world is in peril, are still on X… So they’re the audience who need to hear shit like this.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
or whatever the fuck he usually signs his stupid posts with.
Can you explain a bit about how you set up the phone numbers? Are those normal mobile numbers that people can text/call, etc? So you just need a data plan for mobile device?
Well, sadly that just makes you a bad parent. Congrats.
I mean… I’m not sure what you thought we’ve been doing, all this time together, but the kids are going to be devastated.
It depends on what kind of devices you’re using.
It’s my understanding that SIM cards in phones are just to tie an account and identity to your phone, for purposes of enforcing people to be paying customers for the phone/data services, and tracking your usage based on what level service you’re paying for and what you should receive (5GB of data monthly, unlimited texts, etc)
But if your phone doesn’t have a SIM card in it, its still connecting to cell towers for purposes of emergency dialing, and the phone itself can continue to be tracked by cell carriers based on what physical cell towers its connecting to, as you travel around. The cell phone modem itself can control and connect to networks independently of what the OS running on the phone tell it to do, its a self contained black box.
If you have something like a desktop or laptop, both Intel and AMD have “management engines” embedded in the CPU’s themselves that can take control of the device for purposes of shutting down, wiping, etc a company machine that has sensitive information or access on it, and has been reported stolen, not returned by an ex employee, etc. These management engines have direct access to the network stack and can phone home whenever a network connections is present, either from a WiFi network, physical Ethernet cable, or 4G/5G WWAN card.

If you have a device that is basically air gapped, no WiFi, no cellphone chip, no bluetooth, etc, than it’s still possible to exfiltrate information off the device, but the software running on the device would have to be programming to be searching for methods to do that. Your average device, unless it’s running malicious software, probably won’t be doing that.
