The phone would probably work on Verizon, shares enough GSM bands, including a mid-range 5G band but idk if that one would work. I’d wait for someone else to give it a shot. USB 3.2 just for future proofing?
Edit: someone on the fairphone forums has their FP5 working on Verizon. The service in the US seems patchy outside of major metros from what I’ve read
The transcode performance on the apple silicon is pretty solid if you wanted to go the media server route. Or have a really expensive NAS host lol
I have a macbook for work and I like it generally, it integrates well with other *nix environments. But if you don’t use a laptop or don’t want to have the uncomfortable interruption to your hotkey muscle memory it’s a bit useless. I’d either sell it and/or find someone in my network that needs it
That’s correct
That’s correct
Archiving the original data is important. This is censorship, plain and simple. It’s more important than ever to make sure we educate our children and peers about our history instead of whitewashing everything. 10 years from now I’m really hoping these events will be seen as nationalist vitriol
Looked up this story in the local paper for a bit more context
Responding officers found Towery in his home dead from multiple stab wounds. Part of a lamp was stuck in his throat.
Unsure how this happens in a self defense situation. Imo if you were threatened and under duress you’re gonna do what you have to do, but he was 80 years old
Fearing for her life and fueled by crack cocaine, she overcame Towery and stabbed him repeatedly – 58 times according to an autopsy report. The evidence showed Holberg also beat Towery with a claw hammer multiple times. “I lost it," Holberg told jurors.
The reasoning behind the Trump-appointed judge’s dissent:
“No jury in its right mind would believe that a 23-year-old cocaine-addled prostitute ‘defended’ herself against a frail old man by (1) stabbing him 58 times, (2) bludgeoning him with various objects including a steam iron, and (3) ramming a lamp base down his throat while he was still alive,” Duncan wrote.
In the surface that’s pretty reasonable, but the issue is the planted informant being encouraged to further incriminate the defendant:
However, the majority of the judges believed prosecutors heavily relied on Kirkpatrick’s testimony – particularly her description of how Holberg enjoyed killing Towery – to secure the conviction and during the punishment phase of the trial when they asked for the death sentence.
That guy is fucking dumb
Word I can agree with that
