So … just so we understand, the radio is physically connected to a running power supply but the radio itself is switched off when the noise occurs?

Wow, smash bugs, be in the running for prizes, including a skateboard … might give that a pass.

This is exactly how we put up amateur radio antennas.

Some things to consider:

• how is it powered
• how do you get it down
• how do you stop it from killing someone on the ground when it eventually comes down
• how will foliage growth affect the range
• squirrels and birds will likely take an interest
• waterproofing

Why not gesture navigation?

I’ve never gotten my head around it, but if the vanishing buttons annoy me enough, I might have to make the change.

Lineage os?

Unfortunately, my phone is not on the supported hardware list.

In Western Australia we have a bunch of bushfire and emergency resources. Here’s a few of them.

• https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/hazard-information/bushfire/prepare
• https://www.emergency.wa.gov.au/
• https://walga.asn.au/policy-and-advocacy/our-policy-areas/emergency-management/resources

in addition, various local governments, cities, suburbs etc. have their own published plan and consultation process.

Volunteer Firefighters augment the Fire brigade, mostly outside the metropolitan area of Perth.

There’s fire hazard reduction burns during winter, coordinated by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.

I discovered a Nokia X20 part of the Android One program, that has native Android on it. I loved it so much, I bought a second one, even though my first is still going strong.

Two issues, no more OS updates. I’m stuck on Android 14, and there’s a weird bug with the navigation buttons vanishing from time to time.

Not a recommendation as such, more that there are phones that run unadulterated Android.

We bought exactly one Samsung Android device, that attempted to force us to use Samsung tools for:

• app store
• email
• contacts
• calendar
• internet browsing
• calculator
• chromecast

I’m pretty sure that there were more.

We won’t ever buy a Samsung Android device again.

there isn’t a big privacy issue as compared to the benefit in the health and safety and property of others.

So, now we’re measuring invasion of privacy based on “the health and safety and property of others”?

I strongly disagree with your assertion that “there isn’t a big privacy issue” here. From the top of my head:

1. Did the rental company advise the customer before they got into the car?
2. What other details were recorded?
3. What is the process to erase the data?
4. Who has access to it under which circumstances?
5. How long is it retained?

Marketing.

I’ve never been to a ski resort, but Levi Ski Resort is all Audi ads:

Puppeteer and Chrome were my go-to, but that was before AI bots started hammering sites, and Cloudflare and others started offering blocking processes to stop them.

I’d be surprised if the service you’re currently using will be effective for much longer.

As for text comparison, lynx -dump will give you the text and diff will show you the changes, but as you mentioned, that won’t show you the graphics and banners, unless the site actually uses accessible content.

It’s a big list. Very pretty.

Which of those entries can actually be trusted? I’m asking because so far I’ve seen no evidence in any Android development of a chain of trust.

How do you know for example that these ROMs aren’t riddled with spyware, exploits or info-stealers?

Yum … Unsupervised Text Extruders are now digesting the Excrement from their Assumed Intelligence overlord’s competitors.

Can’t wait to smell the results …

Writing software is about problem solving skills which improve with practice. Often the process involves breaking down a problem into smaller pieces and breaking each of those down, until you know how to “solve” each problem.

Writing down each “solution” and stringing them together is then the actual “programming” part of this activity … which brings with it a whole new layer of “problems” to “solve”.

It’s as much art as it is accounting and the more you do it, the better you get at it.

We just rewatched The Dish and drank a glass to both Sam Neill and Tom Long.

The last time we watched, it was projected onto a bedsheet hanging off the back of my delivery van at Aileron Roadhouse in the middle of Australia surrounded by optical telescopes, a 2m “portable” broadband vSat dish, with the Sungroper solar car team during the 2003 World Solar Challenge … vying for the Yahoo! most remote internet cafe … we lost out to Mount Everest 😁

… and replace them with a whole new class of bugs.

You need to go to see a doctor now! Likely you’ll get a referral to a neurologist. Do not fuck around with this.

And if you think that migration to Rust will magically remove all bugs and vulnerabilities, you haven’t been writing software for very long.
