306bobby··on Hackers Got Inside a Flock Camera
To be fair if you could SLTS support by CIP (which is designed for things like this) you have 4.19 at least still maintained. 4.4 might still be too but I'd have to check
306bobby··on Show HN: Restoredrill – proves your Postgres backups restore
I don't know if it's just solely how I use them, but when I've had Gemini commit and push things, it has never added a co-author or anything. I've recently been playing with Claude and Opus 5, and it only does it maybe 75% of the time. I truly don't know why
306bobby··on Jabber/XMPP: 25 Years of Digital Independence
That's how RCS's Universal Profile is too though as far as I understand with the new encryption standards.

Id rather someone be able to reach out to me with a note the chat is insecure, rather than be unreachable at all

306bobby··on Malware infects Android-based automotive head unit firmware
Wireless AA and CarPlay use a hotspot your car emits that your phone connects to and transfers the image/inputs/audio that way
306bobby··on LineageOS Statistics
Many forks change the telemetry to their own servers so they won't show at all
306bobby··on The Supreme Court Just Lit a Fuse Under Flock's License Plate Camera Empire
I haven't spent much time personally in Cali, but the places I have had to rent a car from I've never had a rental car plated in the same state I'm driving/renting it from
306bobby··on Raspberry Pi Pico W as USB Wi-Fi Adapter
If the hardware won't accept custom firmware without signed with a private key, I'd say that's hardware limitation
306bobby··on Americans don't know how to fight AI so they're fighting data centers
Well the data centers around me certainly don't provide their own power and water, so your point seems moot
306bobby··on Show HN: I made an emergency page for my family
I get your point, but believe it or not there's more email services than just Gmail
306bobby··on Dropbox CEO Drew Houston to step down
Android literally has the Linux file system, although without root only the "home" directory is accessible. But within there is a Downloads folder, Documents folder, and all the other folders you'd expect from a home directory

With root you have access to the entire linux-style system directory

306bobby··on The quiet renovation at Bitwarden
Any reason not to go with vaultwarden? It is pretty feature-parity with normal Bitwarden, up to and including the emergency access stuff
306bobby··on Local AI needs to be the norm
Both the bubble popping and it's legitimate use cases can exist at the same time.

For example, the www bubble popped, but the Internet didn't go away

306bobby··on Ubuntu servers taken offline by "sustained, cross-border attack"
Well at least for now that page loads for me
306bobby··on Anthropic says OpenClaw-style Claude CLI usage is allowed again
This isn't really a fair comparison imo.

There hasnt been near the confusion and drama surrounding things like codex and gemini-cli. I don't think they're all on the same pedestal right now

306bobby··on Even 'uncensored' models can't say what they want
Same with Gemini

306bobby··on WSL Manager
If there was a vs code native alternative that was parity, that might not be a case. That's apples and oranges
306bobby··on I made a programming language with M&Ms
I literally write like the article on similar write ups, where do you think the AI's learned to write this way from.

I really don't get the AI vibes from the actual writing of it

306bobby··on Ask HN: Would you use a job board where every listing is verified?
Not a bad idea. Has the added benefit of giving a signal if the position/company has a turnover issue
306bobby··on Plasma Bigscreen – 10-foot interface for KDE plasma
I've had twice the issues with GNOME as I have with KDE or Cinnamon

I think it all really depends on the wants and workflows of the user

306bobby··on Plasma Bigscreen – 10-foot interface for KDE plasma
That's the problem I have with most DE talks though

People act like these issues are going to "stop the Linux migration" or otherwise, and then they give examples of things that most users will never do/isn't even possible on windows / mac

It feels like most people don't like some DE's just simply because it's not what they're used to, not because there is actually a problem with them

306bobby··on MrBeast Is Getting into Financial Services. Parents Should Pay Attention
I can't see my previous comment, but feel free to ignore it, as I misread what you were saying. Apologies!
306bobby··on MrBeast Is Getting into Financial Services. Parents Should Pay Attention
You are aware bitcoin is crypto right? You basically just said "fiat currency isnt an asset class, it's a wrapper for USD"
306bobby··on Samsung Galaxy update removes Android recovery menu tools, including sideloading
By taking the hardware keys of a compromised device and using it to emulate key master calls

See TrickyStore for more info

306bobby··on The Pentagon is making a mistake by threatening Anthropic
Sure, but the contract in place forbids these things. So the contract is literally a non-performer and cannot perform such orders in the way it is written. So, I personally struggle to see outside of taking over the supply chain how Anthropics contract forces them to do this
306bobby··on Cell Service for the Fairly Paranoid
I believe for reasons Aromatic_War stated in a top comment above: they're actually doing novel stuff with their control planes, not just using what's already there like most MVNOs
306bobby··on Half million 'Words with Spaces' missing from dictionaries
Yes, is that not the same with boiling water? It doesn't need to get "hotter" to turn to steam, it needs to exchange the energy with the environment to gasify
306bobby··on Keep Android Open
Looks like I'm staying in my custom ROM lol
306bobby··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
Swapped sonnet and opus on my last reply, oops
306bobby··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
It could be problem specific. There are certain non program things that opus seems better than sonnet at as well
306bobby··on Asahi Linux Progress Report: Linux 6.19
To be frank, TB support on Linux in general is kinda crap. I'm not surprised this might take them a while, and I'm sure it's lower priority compared to other things on the road map
