Requiring a support contract to receive continuing updates of software that was very publicly approaching end of support, with published EoL dates for years now does not break any laws.

By that logic, no support contracts are legal in the EU at all, and no product would ever be sunset.

My pleasure 😁

Hi, you’re wrong. Goodwill Industries is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

They automatically unlock it once it’s paid off. They have a disclaimer that it needs to stay on the network for 60 days after it’s paid off, but I think that’s a CYA because mine was unlocked within a day of the last payment.

I just checked and I have 6 unlocked phones on my account and never requested any of them.

iPhone has had this since iOS 17, and my Samsung has had this feature for a while too. Not sure about other androids, but you probably just need to enable it.

1901, designed to lower humidity in a print shop to keep the moisture from affecting the paper. Then to textile mills and other manufacturing facilities.

I think it was installed in a residence in 1915 for the first time, then in 1931 the window unit was invented. They became available for cars in 1932, but the first factory units didn’t come out until 1939 from Packard.

If you don’t count only powered AC, passive air conditioning methods have existed as long as we’ve been building structures. There has been a big push towards these passive cooling methods again.

Apple will randomize your MAC when connecting to networks to maintain privacy. It’s a per-network setting that can be toggled off for your own private network if you want to.

There is no application. It’s a literal typewriter. It takes a key press and stamps it on the paper.

Winget is built-in, doesn’t require an elevated command prompt, and will actually update stuff installed from outside of winget if you want.

I use chocolatey for some kubernetes tools (fluxCD and helm) because they get updated a little bit faster (like a day or less) but it’s pretty much been made obsolete for my use.

That being said, if my job didn’t require me to use windows, I’d probably just use NixOS full time.

Why is port 22 open? Is this on your router as well or just the server?

This is SSH, which you should pretty much never have open (to the internet! Local is fine) MC is by default 25565. You will have every bot on the internet probing that port.

The Idaho researchers observed that reversing the intrinsic angular momentum, or “spin,” of thorium-229’s outermost neutron seemed to take 10,000 times less energy than a typical nuclear excitation. The neutron’s altered spin slightly changes both the electromagnetic and strong forces, but those changes happen to cancel each other out almost exactly. Consequently, the excited nuclear state barely differs from the ground state. Lots of nuclei have similar spin transitions, but only in thorium-229 is this cancellation so nearly perfect.

Basically, thorium-229 can be excited by conventional lasers instead of gamma rays. Instead of millions of electron volts, it takes less than 10, which means it’s more reliable and more precise.
