I enjoy hiking and bake at home, both maybe cause dust like matter to destroy a very expensive device.

A foldable costs more than my laptop and tablet combined. While being less resilient and less capable.

I’m not going to pay premium for a device that will break if it get exposed to dust.

I will pay premium for durability, fixability, modularity and for gnu/Linux that mobile device that can interface with android apps that society forces me to use.

After the shit they pulled with the Nokia 9 PureView, how can someone bet money on their crap?

It is being done remotely, no need for USB.

You should sandbox your phone and assume the government may know everything that goes in it.

Pegasus and the like already shown it can be entered with no click zero days.

Where did I say they shouldn’t?

My message comes within a context.

Improvements in storage allow for longer transportation. This is but one example.

There are many other improvements, from more efficient water usage to reducing the need for other costly interventions.

Some may be possible to allow richer agriculture in poorer areas, reducing the need for distribution.

Pegasus, and probably other tools, can infect phones through ads. Google’s ads network is a weapon.

Your comment is unrelated what-so-ever to what I wrote.

Ten percent of humans suffer from hunger. This is much bigger than just Gaza.

I’m not rich, I chose to earn less money and live a lower quality apartment.

We don’t have many years to work on solutions. You may never have enough for you and yours.

Green revolution?

The newest solution I know of is using optimization algorithms to vastly reduce the cost of experiments on vegetables storage. They not only showed how to optimize storage, they also showed how to store certain types cheaply for 4 times long.

One of the issues is food distribution, and that will help there.

Oh wow, people are talking about it.

In the real world, not enough techies are willing to work on solving problems related food shortages (for example), while people are starving to death.

This protest achieved nothing so far.

If you want to actually make a difference, leave Google, go do bioinformatics (am biased here), exact agriculture or any other shit that actually solves real problem.

All I see in those rallies a bunch of people that work at Google to maximize their earnings that are mad when Google does the same.

I don’t get the comment here, they didn’t ‘express their opinion’ about Israel. They behaved like a bunch of lunatics within Google’s offices. If you want to protest Google’s actions send a signed letter of resignation stating the reason, send it to the press and form a union of techies that won’t work for companies that work with Israel recursively.

On a side note, I like how none of them mind building mass surveillance tools, pushing ads, Google-China relations, etc… But Israel’s genocide is trending, so they jump on that. What a bunch of shallow fucks.

I’m not a brain-rotted manager, I know how to buy a desk and arrange a work station.

You can easily load PDFs into kobo readers, at-least into mine. However, most PDFs will be unreadable. To reads PDFs properly on a e-reader you need a screen that is at-least as big as their render size. Meaning, that if the PDF was built for A4, your experience will be, in most cases, lacking on any screen smaller than A4.

I have no experience using such big eink and can’t comment on their quality.

Bought a math book from them, they refunded it with no questions, after I read a lot of it, because some of the equations were unreadable.

Three laptops ago it mostly worked with FOSS solutions around the driver. Nvidia mostly killed them, and intreduced their own unstable solution. As far as I care, if they won’t fix it before my hardware dies, the next laptop will have a GPU by another manufacture.
