@gisgeek @nixCraft Those had Atom Processors in them. It's not that it can't handle streaming. It can't stream modern quality streams.

Given the low power use, it would function rather well as a headless server.

@nixCraft One should clean it and repaste the CPU/GPU. Those thermals are important.

@freemo The maker of this horror is likely a college graduate.

@thor I've heard that it's absurdly expensive to have a vehicle over there. There's also a displacement tax so the motors are very small.

That sounds like a challenge.

@skyblond It's a shame. I also miss 3.5mm aux. Nothing is built to last anymore.

@skyblond That's the way to do it. I forgot about Knox being such a pain for anything but malware.

@skyblond I assume you have the not American version so you might be able to put a custom OS on it if you wanted.

I trust Chinese hardware as an American. I can't wait for China 2025 to kick the stagnation and incompetence out of our industry. Another technology centered race, oh it will be glorious.

@skyblond It doesn't surprise me. Smartphones have had the ability to censor text in photos in real time for over a decade. It's a sensitive topic so I won't get into it.

@skyblond I actually just got my hands on the S23 and the stock camera app is flagship quality. I got a DNG and JPEG capture with the app. I took a super slow motion video and it took multiple frames with the light on and off. We have 60hz in the US so that's 60 cycles a second. I was able to get numerous frames of each cycle.

That's the first Samsung that has been impressive in a long time. The UI is complete garbage.

@thor I thought they just stole the soul.

@thor Some Germans would say that's how you get the best flavor.

@skyblond On my OnePlus I just had to resort to using the Camera2 API with OpenCamera to get DNG captures. The stock camera app made awful quality photos. The benefit of using the Camera2 API and a DNG capture is that I get the absolute best quality captures that my cameras can handle. I'd highly recommend trying it or looking into the RAW formats if your camera app supports it.

It gives a much better quality image after it is processed. It takes up more space but the difference can be stunning.

@natharari @boingboingbot The United States has its faults but such acts are overstated and we'd still rather die than give up our liberties. Americans from both sides of our political spectrum are free to go and purchase firearms.

Putting that topic aside, we suffer similar problems. Those in government profit from our suffering. Corporations can influence our governments more than the people. The powerful and influential know how to keep their crimes from seeing the light of day. It only takes pumping news with stories delivered in the right way to bring about chaos and division. While we are busy fighting amongst each other they are free to act without public scrutiny.

Big a, little a, bouncing b. The system might have got you but it won't get me. Crass had a good point. The government knows how to cause divisions and use them to their advantage. Taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture shows that their tricks are similar. Molding public opinion to their will and getting us to do their bidding.

Looking back at the US for a moment. The public was manipulated to get an experimental jab and any opposition was dismissed as misinformation from a foreign country. It's no secret that those in power made massive profits and it became law to require the jab while we fought amongst each other. Rather recently, we finally have cases that have established that the jabs were not as safe as we were told. Some of the information that was dismissed as misinformation turned out to be true.

The best fights are the ones that one doesn't have a part in. People fought for what they thought was right and the government washed their hands. They didn't participate in the fight. Only crazy people were looking into problems with the jabs. Some batches being stronger than they should have been and other manufacturing problems were overshadowed by a scared and angry public.

They fooled us and they did it with ease. The jab isn't my argument. A litmus test was likely what was performed. They can control us without drugs and without much effort. There's a lot more going on.

@skyblond You can use a third party app to interface with the Camera2 API. This allows one to capture DNG or RAW images even if the standard photo app doesn't support this feature.

I recommend OpenCamera for this. You can also have it take a jpg image along with the DNG or RAW format. The raw formats can be converted to many different formats.

@Hoss @ProudKulak Or maybe we all punched firewalls and a person is much softer.
