If you have an ok phone now, there’s no need for a new one unless it’s interesting. I’d wait to see about the moto graphene phone. I’m quite happy with low end moto hardware (G series) but they will probably screw up and make the graphene phone a flagship, as someone mentioned.
Spoiler: $2100.
The Xiaomi Poco F9 Pro is supposed to cost at least 799 euros (12/256GB) in this country [Germany], while the Poco F9 Ultra (16/512GB) probably requires at least 999 euros.
Thanks and yeah, I guess maybe that’s affordable compared to some other flagships. But I thought the whole point of a flagship was to not be affordable.
Is there anything new and interesting on that site? Otherwise it starts to look like spam. Yes what’s happening with Android is terrible. We already know. Wake us up if there’s a new development. Otherwise either get ready to switch to a new OS or else to start installing apps via adb. Or maybe hope for a backlash after the switchover, but that won’t be known to happen until it’s actually observed. Continuing to gripe before the switchover is looking useless.
The installer included with Debian, was there a problem? It’s in the step where you partition the disk. It asks whether you want to encrypt.
Which projects?
Can you look at the source code in the repos and make any sense of it?
Are there open issues connected to the repo, that you think you could make some headway with?
If you have 0 experience writing code, I think contributing to an existing project isn’t a good way to start. Better to text a textbook and work through some exercises, and do a few small projects of your own, before trying to join an existing team where as a total newbie, you’ll be a burden. Note that “small project of your own” can involve forking something that exists and making your own changes or additions. That doesn’t require much attention from other people.
Then, contribute once you feel you are ready to contribute.

LUKS is generally the least obstrusive once it is running, though setting it up the first time can be confusing.
If you install Debian (or maybe other distros) from scratch, the installer offers to do it for you. Otherwise, basically,
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb xyz # make an encrypted mapping of raw disk partition
mkfs -t ext3 /dev/mapper/xyz whatever # initialize new FS on encrypted/mapped partition
mount /dev/mapper/xyz /yourfs # mount encrypted partition as a file system
rsync -a oldfs /yourfs # copy all the files from your old drive
The above is a basic strategy not something to cut and paste. Check the man pages for details, or ask here.
How to quickly integrity check all files: hmm, I’ll think about whether there is a neat trick for that, otherwise md5sum everything and compare file by file using “find”.
Yeah I wonder if they are using thermal paste with diamond particles aka diamond bog, or have a diamond interposer, or what.

we assumed that having “visual” cues was further out because AI at the time wasn’t up to the task.
For just terrain recognition, the US has had that since before there was GPS. Since the 1950s even.
Sounds like a diamond layer between the cpu and copper heatsink?
Yeah I guess they use the diamond layer instead of thermal paste.
I first thought of the old timey text formatter called Scribe, but now I think you mean something else. Can you explain?
This doesn’t make any sense. They say the subway platforms are too hot during the summer, which is true. Everything in NYC is too hot during the summer, including the platforms.
Then they say that during the winter, they want to transfer heat from the subway platforms to buildings that can use the heat. How is that supposed to help with the platform temperature during the summer? It’s not especially hot in the subway during the winter either. So there’s no need to move the heat out.
Unfortunately besides chips, another huge input to this AI crap is electric power, which is coming mostly from expanding fossil fuel consumption and thus increasing planetary heating. Economists’ intersecting curves are of no help with that.
You can get a Unihertz phone with 23800 mah…
What do you want to do with the HDD’s? I have a bunch of crap saved on mine, but nowhere near 12TB. Also I rent some drive space (Hetzner Storage Box) for server backups. That adds up over time but you don’t have to spend a big chunk all at once, and HDD prices might eventually drop again.
Feel lucky that you want HDD rather than SSD. SSD prices have tripled or quadrupled while HDD has not even doubled, per the graph someone posted.

What? Lol no. And a site like that probably shouldn’t have signatures. Something like Bernstein authenticators would be way preferable.
