@freemo even if others pay for it, it still cost money.
We don’t have free healthcare in Canada, people pay for it.
This thing is really dumb
You might be high, but you will never be "I just smoked a whole brontosaurus to my head" high.
LOL good old senile #Biden at it again.

Android Mobile OS Snooping By Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei and Realme Handsets
"We find that even when minimally configured and the handset is idle these vendor-customized Android variants transmit substantial amounts of information to the OS developer and also to third-parties (Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Facebook etc) that have pre-installed system apps. While occasional communication with OS servers is to be
expected, the observed data transmission goes well beyond this and raises a number of privacy concerns. There is no opt out from this data collection."

I once joined a facebook group where the stated purpose is to come up with the worst insults people could think of and throw them at each other for fun. They explicitly stated there were no rules and nothing was out of bounds.
After less than a week I was banned from the group for offending people. This is some Jedi level shit posting I got going here, dont fuck with me.
My most convoluted #electronics measurement setup: I wanted to see what happens at the exact moment of an AC power loss. One needs a good trigger signal to catch that 8-millisecond glitch when the offline UPS (test subject) transfers to battery (or a deep memory scope which I don't have).
I had a remote-controlled AC outlet, on the remote control there is a power LED that blinks, so I had an idea... I cracked opened the remote, soldered two wires across the power LED, and fed this signal to the External Trigger input of the oscilloscope, then I just pressed OFF. It worked.
I tend to keep a lot of reminders about system/network maintance I need to do. Things that are every few weeks or months like updating the system or renewing certs.
Sometimes I find that there is a bit of a mental hurdle to do a task when it comes in. Even though its not much it can feel daunting when you dont remember the exact steps and need to pull up a how-to again or remember where you stored your notes, if you even have any.
So what im doing now is when i create a reminder I actually copy and paste the step-by step instructions from the documentation into the comments itself. So when the reminder comes in I literally just copy and paste them into a terminal, hit enter, and im done.
I also add the links to the documentation and my personal notes in the reminder itself. That way if something doesnt go as planed I dont need to start digging around for the complete instructions, its all right there for me.
This has cut down my procrastination significantly. Instead of waiting a day or two and maybe forgetting to do the task at all I now have it over and done with after like 5 minutes max from seeing the alert.
