But with our new system we can make up 10x as many fake frames to cram between your real ones, giving you 2500 FPS! Isn't that awesome???

Not really. Theoretically you can use Google Maps as a compass, but otherwise no. Per the article:

Shockingly, Google is yet to build its own native compass or level tool app for Android. Most third-party phone makers have taken matters into their own hands, but modern Pixel phones still don't provide a user-facing app for accessing coordinates, altitude, magnetism, and other useful metrics. Thankfully, Compass has you covered.

I think SD card failure rates are way overblown if you're buying from reputable manufacturers (Sandisk, Samsung). I'm sure they do occasionally fail, but I've never experienced one.

You're right, for really intensive tasks the costs can climb, but I see people asking for ideas for what to do with a junk laptop and the top suggestion is always something like pi-hole or a bookmark manager that could run on a potato.

Like with most things in life, it depends.

Can't sound transfer through the casing even if it's not vibrating air in the process?

The way Tuta and Proton have set up E2EE is not compatible with Thunderbird.

Proton offers a "bridge" service that does local decryption for email clients like TB but it's an extra step and has to be running 24/7.

Laptop performance when closed is quite variable, but depending on where you live, each 10W of idle consumption 24/7/365 could cost you somewhere around $20/yr (assumes @$0.20/kWh, YMMV). This isn't overwhelming on it's own, but it is "cost difference between a junked laptop and a Raspberry Pi" kinda money.

$0.99 for a clean & ad-free app? Sounds like the kind of thing I'd be happy to pay for if I used a compass like ever.

Should be FMAGA

Unpaid Linux ambassadors? Isn't that just Lemmy?

Yeah but it's a lot harder to paint climate activists as the bad guys when you say things like "they souped our glass and powdered our rocks", so better to just lie, right?

I find it hard to imagine wanting to have kids just so your dictator has more meat to feed into his meat grinder. Perhaps the only good news is Putin hopefully doesn't have 18 more years in him, so the kids won't have to deal with him directly, but who knows who will sit in the throne next...
