That brings a whole new meaning to impostor syndrome.

I don’t think I’d want to use a platform the government is so intent on getting a backdoor access to.
That’s every platform. Telegram is just too big to push back as hard as it has.

I had Android running on my OG iPhone. Must’ve been around Android 2.1 or so.
It was not really usable. More of a curiosity.
There’s an embedded video above the headline. It’s easy to dismiss as an ad. I did, too.
Thanks for the tip!
This was a long-standing showstopper for me & Wayland. I got rid of my work computer instead, but if I get another one I’ll be sure to test this out.

Which is exactly why you’d want to run a CoW filesystem with redundancy.
I switched in 1997.
The internet was taking off, and it was built on Linux and un*ces. It was just a lot more fun.
Also, C-programming. M$ had just gotten protected memory in NT4.0, but a lot of applications just didn’t run on NT. It’d take another three years before protected memory hit mainstream with win2k. No novice programmer wants their computer to bluescreen every time they do a tiny little out of bounds error.
I worked at a niche factory some 20 years ago. We had a tape robot with 8 tapes at some 200GB each. It’d do a full backup of everyone’s home directories and mailboxes every week, and incremental backups nightly.
We’d keep the weekly backups on-site in a safe. Once a month I’d do a run to another plant one town over with a full backup.
I guess at most we’d need five tapes. If they still use it, and with modern tapes, it should scale nicely. Today’s LTO-tapes are 18TB. Driving five tapes half an hour would give a nice bandwidth of 50GB/s. The bottleneck would be the write speed to tape at 400MB/s.
Sounds like it’s localStorage. But I’d expect that to be covered by “site data” in that option.
It’s a bit like cookies, but just for one site. Some think they can avoid cookie consent banners with localStorage.
Firefox has a page on the topic.
This week it’s been Megaman II (1988).
I feel like games before that era had a lot of coin-op focus. Not much content, but hard enough that you’ll be pouring more credits into the machine. That said, I’ve been itching to play Alley Cat (1983), but I don’t have a good setup for MS-DOS games at the moment. I’ll have to see if my Miyoo mini is up for the task.
I haven’t heard of it before, but if Google bans it they must be doing something right.
I’ll check it out.
MF8 sounds familiar, but I might have had some other puzzles of that brand.
What brand of gigaminx did you have?
I can’t recall. It’s been well over ten years. I think I solved it two or three times. It was just tedious. Whatever cheap brand they had on dealextreme at the time.
Even-dimensioned cubes (4x4x4, 6x6x6, …) are harder because they introduce some parity errors. Odd-dimensioned keep their fever center piece in the right spot.
Otherwise the size just makes it more tedious. I keep up with a 4x4x4. I had a gigaminx dodecahedron that I solved a few times, but it just made my hands tired from the weight and kept popping out pieces because of their tinyness.
I’m sure it’s great and all, but the hassle of having a filesystem that’s not in the kernel is a no-starter for me. Maybe one of those fancy NAS-distros that are based on some *BSD.
Well, snapshots, too. I just consider them to be a special case of de-duplication.
I had an issue when I ran out of space during conversion between RAID profiles a few years back. I didn’t lose any data, but I couldn’t get the array to mount (and stay) read-write.
Been running BTRFS since 2010. Ext2/3/4 before that.
Using it for CoW, de-duplication, compression. My home file server has had a long-lived array of mis-matched devices. Started at 4x2TB, through 6x4TB and now 2x18+4TB. I just move up a size whenever a disk fails.
I hope to see some mid-range phones that fit in a normal hand. In the 4-5" range.
You know what they say about guys with big hands, right?
They have big gloves.
