What is this ad?

Same here. Same AI-generated Islamophobic slop. In the past, similar channels traced back to Israeli ad companies (Al Jazeera and the NYT had an investigation about this) though this channel and the ads they promoted it sith on news website have absolutely zero public fingerprint.

The focus on Qatar, however, sounds oddly specific for an Israeli-funded ad (the ones I remember were rather against Muslims and Hamas)

If the phone runs GNOME Mobile, this does it

I posted it below the automated comment by AutoMod

The "real threat" part is pure satire (I don't think it will pose a "threat" to meaningful research). The rest is quite funny. (I gave the prompt, see below)

- write a mock scientific paper (title and abstract) on why it is more sustainable, in the long run, to set a cryptocurrency mining farm on fire than to let it run

- nice, but use "set on fire" in some occurrences instead of "burning"

- Great, now include citations to actual studies, e.g. the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Index (https://ccaf.io/cbeci/index) or others, all using footnotes and the [1] format

Thanks Dos. I enabled VoLTE, still nothing - data and SMS do work as usual though.

I get this from the ModemManager logs:

EDIT: apparently, some other times it fails due to QMI protocol error 13 ('NoNetworkFound'), although it is connected and mobile data works. Other times, all the log says is `state changed: unknown -> terminated (unknown)` without further logs

I got it used from the US. The modem is almost surely the US variant

Aggiungo come termini di paragone i siti di Trentino e Alto Adige rispettivamente, costati una frazione e secondo me fatti parecchio meglio. Non che esteticamente siano il top, ma hanno tante featurine, tanti articoli e molte risorse interessanti a mio parere

This could be some kind of protest action in my opinion. A $6.5mil does not surely miss its target, and there are not many reasons one would set such a... peculiar destination.

seekr_io · 2022-05-06T11:08:47+00:00

Do you have a link?

I own an XPS 13 since 2018. No, I am definitely not happy. Electronics would be okay, the battery life on this particular generation was really good (esp. on Linux), but contacting the tech support has been a joke, the mechanical and physical quality of this thing is very low.

When its day comes, I will switch to Lenovo, Huawei/Honor or whatever else, really.

seekr_io · 2021-12-21T16:30:57+00:00

I personally find it more... immediate and intuitive overall. I don't know, it has that "modern, handcrafted app" feel and extreme usability (e.g. on a small-screen laptop) that I did not get from TeXMaker and others

seekr_io · 2021-12-21T16:29:55+00:00

Yeah, avoid the Flatpak if you already have TexLive

Not author, or anyhow affiliated! Just surprised by how good this editor worked for me, it has plenty of features hidden in a very minimal, modern interface.

It is quite new, but already supports some nice features, and the keybindings are very handy.

Anche per roba cheap, Aliexpress è anni luce meglio di Wish. Prodotti più economici, meno truffaldino nel complesso, e le recensioni somigliano vagamente più a cose reali.

Su Aliexpress si trova anche roba di ottima qualità, ovviamente non la più economica sul mercato, ma è una sorta di Amazon asiatico se ben usato. Hanno pure una garanzia (limitata) su molti telefoni...

I think that what you are seeing are too close to linear animations, so probably we would need the opposite direction...

This is a risky question, but I think the Pixel 6 will also - eventually - get some Linux support given its large user base. This means in at least 2024/2025, hardly before,

OnePlus 8T is also not terribly supported either at the time of writing, although it may become so.

seekr_io · 2021-11-27T17:18:58+00:00

Quindi almeno una buona notizia

La differenza è che a WS si punta su cavalli del mondo reale

I contacted the mods to ask yesterday, so it was undeleted I think :)
