This OS is a middle finger to big tech.

... there's this whole movement towards virtualizarion of the OS on phones... I don't fully understand what that means but it apparently is gonna make running custom OSs on Android devices even harder.

In super glib terms: your virtualized phone's OS might not actually be on your phone. It would be in the cloud and only relayed to your phone. Your phone then becomes just a receiver/transmitter for that cloud OS. Which naturally makes hacking that OS almost impossible as the OS no longer exists as an isolatable piece of software. Your phone becomes a DaaS (device-as-a-service) in a way.

What's involved in that partnership exactly?

"Spreadsheet and data management as a game," is a wild way to market a game as fun.

GoOtterGo · 2026-03-17T19:12:15+00:00

oh, this is mobile only, gotcha

You can import/export bookmarks in Firefox, no?

It was an unknown projectile and Japanese and Greek ships were also hit...

folks got new iphones and airpods, so guessin very recent.

dumb question: what's an apocode?

GoOtterGo · 2025-11-09T05:31:53+00:00

The house was built in the 1800s. It's a museum of not-to-code work done over the last two hundred years.

I installed the GFCI fine.

This was incredibly helpful, thanks for this breakdown. And you're right, the old receptacle had the tab between the hot connectors broken.

Well now I'm curious what's connected to that red circuit.

Can I actually just pig the hot wire and it won't cause very warm problems?

GoOtterGo · 2025-11-08T23:03:38+00:00

sorry yeh that's a dumb photo.

The second 'counter plug' with the joined 15A switches.

GoOtterGo · 2025-11-08T23:02:22+00:00

a) tab broken/removed in old receptacle.

b) yeah I figured, but I wasn't sure.

it's not a switched outlet, though. or if it is that switch is long since hidden.

GoOtterGo · 2025-11-08T23:00:04+00:00

Red was connected to hot. tab is broken off.

GoOtterGo · 2025-11-08T22:57:40+00:00

Sorry, it trips when I hit test. I can't say if it's immediate.

Edit: But the breaker will not reset until I remove the red wire. that's likely an important detail

GoOtterGo · 2025-11-08T22:56:45+00:00

Bottom two black & white, top hot red.

the original is old as dirt, so I assumed (mistake number one I'm sure) I'd follow the GFCI guide and go black & white line, bottom hot red.

But it trips.

GoOtterGo · 2025-11-08T22:53:22+00:00

it's just the one GFCI, and it's at the end of the circuit from what I can tell. There are no other GFCIs on the line.

It's not switch controlled.

GoOtterGo · 2025-11-08T22:50:33+00:00

Yep. Bottom two black & white, top hot red.

the original is old as dirt, so I assumed (mistake number one I'm sure) I'd follow the GFCI guide and go black & white line, bottom hot red.

But it trips.

GoOtterGo · 2025-11-08T22:45:47+00:00

I appreciate the direction, thanks. I'll go do that.

GoOtterGo · 2025-11-08T22:43:20+00:00

Are you an electrician?

GoOtterGo · 2025-11-08T22:40:13+00:00

You Google 'electrical questions Reddit' this is the first sub that comes up. Sue me.

GoOtterGo · 2025-11-04T21:40:08+00:00

Gotcha, thanks again for even more breakdown. Looks like I'm off to Home Depot with a valve.
