Just had a very weird conversation with someone discussing an open source voice assistant, I asked about its privacy and they blocked me. This isn't very reassuring.

Be really careful with voice assistants. As far as I know, all of them rely on sending your data to the manufacturer's server.

Open source alone won't protect you. Open source tells you what the software does, but if it does bad stuff you need to act on that information to protect yourself.

Look at the fuse (F7 label) in the centre of this photo.

It is the cause of many T440p thinkpads having dead backlights. When a backlight fails, it can surge, blowing this 0402, 32V 3A fuse.

It carries 20V DC to the backlight. Replace it and replace the LCD. Let there be light!

This is getting ridiculous—Their journalism is truthful, that's the problem! One of the few blogs that actually do, you know, JOURNALISM. Look at Consortiums pedigree for gawds sake. :facepalm:

"Indian foreign minister reminded Europeans that their problems are not the problems of the whole world.

▪️ “It is time for Europe to abandon the attitude: “My problems are the problems of the whole world, and the problems of the whole world are not my problems. If you are in trouble, then you are in trouble, and if I am in trouble, then we are in trouble,” the Foreign Minister also said."
