So how long is it going to be before people figure out how to get the 'sim' out, load it into a cheap Android phone and then sell it to a Chinese guy who sells the iPhone on at triple profit?
That looks very nice. I note it runs off a PSU so you have to carry a wall wart around, probably doubling the size and weight. Then again, "5V DC-in @ 3A 5.5/2.1mm jack" sounds pretty modest so maybe the PSU would be small... looking that up... 200g x 10cm2. Nice that they include a range of plug adapters for travel.
Seems it can do it all... and better than my 2gb fixed RAM tablet which is too slow. Could be a more expensive replacement for me.
Seeing as I'm next door to Schenzen in HK I wonder if I could get it a little bit cheaper... though that sort of thing rarely works out... the last thing I ordered from the UK...
Although AirBNB itself is a dark star centralised monopoly it has been a godsend for hosts surviving in places like Spain who risk a lot to use it.
Likewise, as a guest there are some cities where I can get a room for a price which means I can actually afford to go there. I have also stayed had unique experiences through it I never would have had before AirBNB.
What the p2p economy needs is leadership from government to assist in competition, such as requirements on API's to allow competitors to search and present each others results.
Fair play. Not an easy mission but... There's plenty of scope for disruption!
I for one am pretty lacking in what I look for in a phone.
The market is not serving me in the following areas: - user replaceable batteries and generally making a land rover phone future proof - branded dependability with the likes of cyanogenmod that allows me to choose hardware freely - headphone jack - privacy capable hardware on which hackers can build solutions upon - yet despite being accessible, you can still use stuff like (but not similar to) android pay and knox. For example, a knox like system that is resettable with a counter, not a efuse - something for grandma -something for blind people. In particular, a phone without a screen. Could be tactile - extended warranty, quality spares, accessible and honest spares market
A lot of this stuff is undercutting vendors by raising quality and what you get. Some scope for that. Might only need to hit a few special sell buttons and already it's a niche safe zone in the market
I just did some tests. It's: - appears to be a Chromium based fork. Settings menu is almost the same - lighter on RAM and CPU than chrome with an adblocker. Tends to be a bit quicker on an ageing setup - Chinese owned so probably has to comply with Chinese state requests so if you're trying to keep your data footprint to Google that could be a fail but it's hard to really know huh? - crashes a lot. Crashed once just posting this. Crashed on a scripting benchmark - not particularly efficient on screen real estate with the right hand side box visual tabs
Not a solution for my ageing computer. Still struggling on with Firefox.
I think this can quickly go defeatist if you try to be completely watertight.
Trying only to maintain some privacy enough to get cheaper flight tickets, less spam and less echo chamber circle jerking might be more reasonable than trying to beat the NSA.
I really think there ought to be a turn-key solution with all of the low impact stuff already enabled.
For example: - cookies and cross site data (i.e. tracking pixels) to be permitted cross site only if approved... but always approved if on the same domain. Wipe pixels periodically - cycle VPN access reliably and always within the same country - locally run DNSCRYPT
The hassle in privacy IMHO is that the tech is too varied in what it can do. The usability isn't there. i.e Noscript is useful but it's hassle to use. The thing is, it should be hassle to use in a very secure way, but there should be more moderate ways to use it which is less work.
The utility is for people leaking really every day stuff like "He's not her child" or some such rubbish. They probably don't expect to get anything important out of it. But if they do then they probably have the ability to compromise the anonimity in exchange for a kickback from other powerful interests, or just for their own sake.
There's a wide range of types of leaks. I'll probably be used first for NHS stuff in the UK (overworked nurse killed my grandfather, this kind of thing)
It doesn't seem wise to try to construct such a thing without people on side.
Its too easy to protest non violently after construction with mobile phone signals and halogen lights.
I lived in La palma for a while in Europe. People here are happy to have mobile internet service and mobile reception cut mid call to improve observation. You need that level of support.
If you can get support then you have to build on another territory. I know the USA has other territories similar. I would like to be able to quote where. AFAIK what stops this is that observatories also serve military purposes and that is something that limits where they can put these things. If this aspect was more honest though the hiding behind 'betterment of humankind' wouldn't work so well.
Slightly offtopic: I find the domes really beautiful. Its the curve. If only our cities were freer from the tyranny of straight lines a bit more we might all be a lot happier and productive
I agree. I always think the opposite when a spy opens mouth:D Possibly the fight has moved the playing field. Somebody, somewhere has no eyes. Old people have worn out fingerprints. Because of this there's a way round it. And, of course the battle just moves to compromising the databases.
In a few years time we might find out more. Shame not to know now bit with spooks you just got to get used to curbing your curiousity all the time.

I'd pay for curation of search results that blocks/advises the likes of pInterest, paywalls etc
I used to take the HDD out. Been a while since I've done that. Not sure if you can get laptops with removeable hard drives anymore...
How to lose an election: Try to profit from a stabbing.
Doesn't this kind of thing backfire these days? How many times can you flog a dead horse?
I can't be bothered with this.
Which places are lowering the bar to encourage business and won't respond to the terrorists no matter what?
That looks very nice.

Thanks. This could be my next upgrade
good to know :-)
That's what I do. Carry an extra keyboard, extra mouse, extra screen and laptop stand for the ergonomics.
I don't use the built in keyboard, touchpad and battery much.
...and impossible to google for...
"Segmentation is natural in a oligarchy"
That's great to hear. Can you tell me more?
No sarcasm intended. I want to know more.
The qui bono on this pushes me more towards this kind of thing as a more realistic threat:

What's the most time efficient pathway into work for someone not interested in programming? Something that actually works even if it's a crap job.
A testing qualification of some sort?
Cisco style sysadmin style small modules that will get you *something*.
Or just a MCSE?
^ and combine all this with the usual self study.

I don't mind you driving by my front door with a quiet, clean electric car.
A diesel semi, that's another matter.
I couldn't see if they tried ionic metals such as silver and copper. Or ozone.

If I want to buy this... Or the battery tech from a tesla 400mile range car...
And out it in a DIY bike build....
What do I search for to find it for sale without getting a fake

which device to create your own path to record the route the mail took... and potentially compare to the record this produces?
lot of mail gone missing lately... just about ontopic...?
I post real world experience from 3 countries and get rated as troll?!

Very simple.
If you want to have a visa approved you have to pay a minimum wage.
That's all that needs to be done.
I agree. I always think the opposite when a spy opens mouth :D
