You don't need plaintext csv dump as backup. Keep it encrypted on your $MEDIA. You keep multiple Yubis for access. Nothing secure is unencrypted anywhere. Keep them separate trusted locations.

When exactly was f not a scam?

This is a do-dad, because to increase seatbelt efficiency including a lot of impact types that 3 point seatbelt can't help with regardless of IOT, tensioners or subscriptions, it would be 10 times easier with simple, manually adjustable 6 piont seatbelt. But no, nobody would buy safety, marketing caters only for convenience, contrary to unnecessary complexity.

robots.txt is as laughable as putting a sticker on your door - Pleaze do not entery!

being so willing to accept cookies when visiting websites ... Have you tried "not accepting" the cookies? You have to clik literally hundreds of times no, no, no, for example on the ones saying "legitimate interest". Legitimate my bum! It is exceptionally cumbersome half of places and little cumbersome on minority of places to opt out. I have seen only a couple of times when the opt out was as easy as opt in.

But Kim Yong Un said that Internet for northkoreans should be throttled. Who cares what one of dictators said? It does not matter, as their ultimate motive is to keep the chair. They ly and kill. Not just "enemies", their own too. And on massive scale. Such do not deserve publicity, it is free work for them.

Asking desperate people before taking passports and smuggling them to lawless countries would kill the slave industry. Nobody wants that.

Exactly. Receiving end denies the messages with ampersand, so the XML gets discarded. That is either the developer on the sending side can't create proper XML with ampersand or the receiving sides developer is too scared and don't know how to decode it. Maybe both. Maybe they use bad XML libraries, maybe it has to be encoded in hex or ampersands XML notation has to be decoded twice as this over 15 years old Stackowerflow says https://stackoverflow.com/ques.... Maybe XML should not be used at all due to such conversion issues. Coders have found solutions for that, not a rocket science. Protecting the recipient, LOL! Protecting Apple from looking mediocre.

So if you waste money doing pointless work it is fringe. But add AI to that and you are bonified man at once? They just need to include blockchain and NFTs for it to become the most important research in the world. Forget about medicine or energy, this must be the most nobelized field. Now, everyone bow down for the new God!

Not sure which paralel universe you fell out of. Last 10 years of installing Linux has been exactly this - next, next, next, done. Perfect. Last time I was forcefully pressed to install Windows some year BCE, it was a nightmare to configure registry, add obscure programs just to make it look okayish.

Variation changes, there is no map even 10 times worse than GPs, not 50 times better. There is magnetic noise everywhere. This proprietary blah blah is also laughable. They have serendipidously invented a device, made applied science before theoretically anyone has proven it possible. And for a good measure put AI in as well. Lacking just cryptochain powered antigravity fudge. Swindlers just trying to fish on gullible people with money.

No browser. But yes SMS. Who uses SMS in 2025? And pay 600 for that? Same nonfunctionality could be got for 20 times less money. They have replaced otherwise unescapable Google, Facebook, Microsoft ecosystem with their own choices of allowed apps. That is stupid. How about my choices? Why can't I have just a phone, where I choose what software will be on? So I can use it for my needs, which would not include anything social media or big providers forced.

In theory yes. Not so smooth in practice. I have had UEFI not keeping saved settings, unable to understand GPT USB without another MBR USB, need to remove a bunch of forbidden keys without any info which was the culprit, clumzy setting locations like multiple seemingly unrelated places, weird hiding methods etc.

Try replacing Windows with Linux on a bunch of laptops of last 15 years and tell the chucklefucks, how many of those went smoothly. The road to their goal is not just bumpy, it is slow and damaging their car. Nevertheless, they creep closer and closer to their goal. They have achieved a level of PITA for alternative OS setup on a lot of devices.

Who pushed everyone to UEFI Secureboot? Wasn't it by chance Microsoft? Who said right then, that would have a lot of issues? Everyone else and their grandmother. Now they have some balls to say something about opensource being at fault, when the concepts of it are. Concepts from themselves.
