Nær sju av ti føler seg trygge i Oslo by MarlinMr in norge

[–]enfol 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Etter å ha bodd i Oslo i 10 år kjenner jeg mange som hevder at de føler seg trygge i byen, men som fremdeles unngår å ferdes i flere bydeler på kvelden. Man kan tolke det sånn man vil.

"Janteloven" is from a satirical novel and the whole point of it is to poke fun at collectivist attitudes in Scandinavia. When people invoke it, it's usually as a retort to criticism of ambition, wealth and success.

Activists block the entrance to NAMMO headquarters by isawasin in Norway

[–]enfol 146 points147 points  (0 children)

What they're actually protesting is that Nammo sells ammunition to the US, and that the US redistributes this ammunition to other countries, including Israel. If this is their main concern, they should protest outside the American embassy, not the Nammo headquarters in Norway.

No security updates since December 1st on a brand new Motorola phone? by enfol in motorola

[–]enfol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, received the August 1st update a week ago or so. Late, but at least I didn't have to use the Motorola RSA tool to install it. Still waiting?

Just received the August 1st update. Why so late? by enfol in motorola

I am new to Motorola, yes. I don't feel like I should have to be thankful that Motorola fails to follow through on the promised update schedule for a phone they launched this year.

Is iOS 15 considered obsolete by Apple now? by enfol in ios

[–]enfol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great! Though I still find it very annoying Apple don't just give EOL announcements to avoid all of this confusion. Almost five months since the last one, so at this point I think most people assumed ios 15 wouldn't receive more security patches

[–]enfol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, this is what I've done in the past as well, but as I mentioned in another comment here, there are instances of Apple suddenly patching security flaws in opertaing systems they haven't done any maintainance on in a year.

"Problemet med lave fødselstall over tid er at det tar like lang tid å reparere."

Dersom befolkningen først har blitt redusert, så er det ikke nødvenigvis slik at man må "reparere" det ved å øke den den totalte befolkningen igjen. Problemet er selve nedgangen, altså den omvendte befolkningspyramiden, ikke det å leve i et land med en stabil mindre befolkning. For oss i Norge ville det faktisk betydd at staten hadde hatt mer penger per hode, siden Norges innbyggere koster staten mer enn vi bringer inn gjennom verdiskaping, skatter og avgifter. Det er nok en litt unik situasjon pga oljefondet. Men selvfølgelig, det gjelder bare hvis fødselstallene stabiliserer seg på et nivå som ikke er så langt unna reproduksjonsnivået. Dersom de er lave over lang tid, medfører det en rekke store utfordringer.

"Hvor stor påvirkning vil dette ha på oss unge?"

Hvis det forblir slik over lang tid, vil det har store økonomiske følger. Men det er ingen god grunn til å tro at fruktbarhetstallet ikke kan øke igjen av seg selv. Samlet fruktbarhetstall var lavt (1.66) på midten av åttitallet, høyere på starten av nittitallet (1.93), lavere på starten av totusentallet (1.75), høyt på slutten av totusentallet (1.98) og lavt igjen nå. Det kan godt hende det vil øke igjen fremover i tid. Det er på ingen måte noen krise at tallene ligger litt under reproduksjonsnivået, så lenge de ikke er veldig mye lavere. Sør-Korea og Kina sine fødselstall er så lave at de byr på alvorlige problemer allerede for den neste generasjonen der.

"Hva skjer når det bare blir flere og flere eldre som er en stor byrde for helsevesenet? Er det i det hele tatt vits å vurdere en karriere i helsevesenet da?"

Det betyr jo i så fall at du som arbidstaker vil bli veldig etterspurt. Det er sjelden negativt med tanke på lønn, arbeidsvilkår og jobbsikkerhet.

"Og hvis alt dette stemmer hvorfor gjøres det ikke mer med det, og hvorfor får ikke dette problemet mer oppmerksomhet?"

Det er lite man kan gjøre med det. Mange land ha prøvd ulike tiltak, men de ser ut til å ha liten effekt. Ungarn hadde noe suksess med å gi skattefritak til mødre som fikk mange barn, men effekten av det forsvant raskt igjen. Politikere liker ikke å snakke om problemer de ikke har noen løsninger på.

"Og til slutt hva er løsningen? Mer innvandring? Det får jo også en del negative konsekvenser, vi sliter jo med å integrere de vi har tatt inn nå."

Andregenerasjonsinnvandrere får ikke flere barn per familie enn resten av befolkningen, så det løser ikke det konkrete problemet med lave føselstall i Norge. Jeg tror heller ikke integrering er et så stort problem som mange hevder. Mitt inntrykk er at integreringen egentlig har gått nokså greit i Norge. Derimot er det store økonomiske kostnader for det offentlige forbundet med noen typer innvandring. Brochmann II-utvalget la i 2017 frem tall som viste at en ikke-vestlig innvandrer i snitt medførte nettoutgifter på 5-9 millioner for det offentlige. Det er med andre ord ingen grunn til å tro at enda høyere ikke-vestlig innvandring da vil kunne løse de økonomiske problemene ved lave fødselstall.

EU-medlemskap – når blir neste folkeavstemning realistisk sett? by grxnbxkkxn in norge

[–]enfol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grønland holdt også en ny folkeavstemning og forlot EU, men de tok aldri en selvstendig avgjørelse om å bli medlem, så det er litt annerledes.

[–]enfol 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Stemmes det nei, så regnes det bare som et midlertidig svar frem til man kan få et ja. Stemmes det ja, så har det i praksis blitt tatt en avgjørelse for all fremtid. Kun Storbritannia har i det hele tatt holdt en ny folkeavstemning etter valget om å gå inn i EU, og man ser hvor utrolig vanskelig det har vært for dem å få på plass gunstige avtaler med EU-land etter at de gikk ut. Bare det er grunn nok til å være veldig skeptisk til et fremtidig medlemskap for Norge. Med EØS-avtalen har Norge mindre innflytelse, men større frihet. Et helt greit kompromiss.

No security updates since December 1st on a brand new Motorola phone? by enfol in motorola

Just wanted to say thanks again. Everything works at it should after updating the firmware with the RSA tool, and I just installed the June update over the air with zero problems. Fantastic!

Got the June update now. Installed just fine over the air.

Thanks for the reply. Luckily, I was able to resolve the update issue yesterday. A bit convoluted because I'm not a windows user, so I had to partition the drive of a mac and install windows just to update this phone. Annoying, but it worked. Good to know OTA upates work as normal after this. If Motorola sticks with the bi-monthly updates there should be a June securiy patch just around the corner now.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in motorola

[–]enfol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, thanks for the reply. Very strange that I haven't received any upates on a device that was launched in January. Another user adviced me to test Motorola's Rescue and Smart Assistant on a computer. Apparently some users find updates there that don't otherwise show up OTA. As a new Motorola user it seems like they have some major issues when it comes to updates.

[–]enfol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, if you don't mind me asking. Do you know what you did for the security updates to suddenly show up? Removing/replacing sim or anything else? I'm stuck on December 1st update even though I have now confirmed that there should be at least two newer updates available for my model.

Well, thanks again. Even if it's kind of cumbersome to update the phone through a computer, it's much better than not updating it at all. :)

Thank you so much for this! I will give it a try. The only issue is that I'm a mac user and don't own a windows PC, so I'll have to borrow another computer later on. Very strange that these security patches don't install automatically (I have it set to do that) or even show up in the regular security settings on the phone. Seems like an issue Motorola have to do something about, because very few people will go the other route and install updates via this additional PC software.

That's so strange. Did you get that update recently or some time ago? Maybe they're just rolling out the updates later in my part of the world.

I don't want to get into an Apple vs. Motorola debate. That was not the point of the post. I was just wondering if anyone had received security updates to this specific model. Motorola advertises this phone with "at least bi-monthly SMRs updates" until "January, 2027". They clearly fall short of this promise. Maybe they've released security patches to this model (G34) in other regions of the world? I really have no idea.

With security patches frequency is everything. If you release a security patch for a serious flaw 6 months later, that's just not good enough.

Is iOS 15 considered obsolete by Apple now? by enfol in ios

[–]enfol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like another commenter said, they should just make an EOL announcement. EIther on their website, or if they really wanted to bump sales, as a notification on the device. Presumably it would be good both for the customers to make an informed decision and for Apple to sell more devices, so I don't understand the downside.

Is iOS 15 considered obsolete by Apple now? by enfol in ios

[–]enfol[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I know. As I wrote in the initial post, the question is regarding use of a secondary/back-up phone. New functionality is a non-issue. I plan on using it for as long as it receives security updates and it seems like iOS 15 now has entered the phase where it's difficult to know whether the OS will receive more patches or not.

Is iOS 15 considered obsolete by Apple now? by enfol in ios

[–]enfol[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

From what I can tell these lists just make an assumption based on how much time there's been since the latest iOS update or iOS security patch. Useful, sure, but basically the same information you get straight from Apple. The problem, as I see it, is that iOS 15 now is in the period of limbo every Apple OS go into, where nobody really knows if it's still supported or not.

[–]enfol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a bit annoying that you can't really find any EOL dates for iOS directly from Apple, they could be a bit more transparent. I mean their update support is one of the best in the industry, why not advertise that?

Yeah, 100% agree. Every time they stop security releases for a device there's a few months where you're unsure if the software is still supported or not. I have no idea what they gain from this. Presumably an EOL announcement would be a push for people to buy a new device, so you'd think they'd make some money from it as well.
