Law enforcement have tools to bypass lockscreens and access the data on the device. They use backdoors and exploits, so older phones are more vulnerable. Most exploits only work if the phone has been unlocked at some point since it was booted.

This is why law enforcement keep them powered-on, and in a faraday cage. They are in a state with a better chance of unlock, but have no signal so nobody can remotely find/lock/wipe it.

You mean "Microsoft Terminal Services Client"?

That's hilarious. I haven't been able to enable IPv6 since the August update. The machine just spins to 100% CPU across every core like a forkbomb.

It pissed me off because my home network is built IPv6-first.

If my work pushes 24H2 I'll just have to disable both :/

I'm waiting for the part that it gets used for things that are not lazy, manipulative and dishonest. Until then, I'm sitting it out like Linus.

WebP is basically the format used to store i-frames in WebM/VPx videos. Google acquired on2 technologies for this tech many years ago, and it was to stop W3C from standardising a patent encumbered codec like H.265. These were all well intentioned.

WebP / WebM has all been superceded by AV1 / AVIF anyway. It never really took off, and it's too late to start now.

Australia banned half a million active devices from their mobile networks today. It must be a new trend.

PlexAmp is an amazing bit of software for a phone. It doesn't translate well to the desktop, but it's still pretty good.

Your flacs will play lossless on wifi, and transcode to 128kbps opus on mobile. You can tweak those settings too.

Most smart TVs have a native plex app available too.

Teslas aren't exactly long-range rural cars. Correcting for mileage would only increase the crash rates.

However, being city cars, they probably have high operational hours.

The speed humps are actually worse on a softer setting. The car takes far longer to settle after a bump.

On standard suspension, the car would bounce off the bump stops at half the speed of everyone else.
