Decline in insect populations

It’s using the “change my mind” meme template

100% with VPN services you’re shifting the trust, not removing the trust. And sorry, I just meant that as a general comment, I didn’t think you were implying that the UP phone’s implementation was inherently secure.

Why not just use GrapheneOS? The only unique feature this phone has is the physical battery kill switch.

Because writing them by hand would take too long

This will all come out during discovery in the copyright trials after the second coming

Muslims believe that Jesus didn’t die, instead he was raised alive to heaven by God. So technically from that perspective his teachings would still be covered by copyright which is life of author plus n years depending on your location. So is it unethical to seed a torrent of bible according to Islam?

What are you lighting on fire? Why are you burning it? What’s the problem you’re trying to solve?

I think there is a lot of misdirected frustration. The technology isn’t the issue, the way it’s been implemented is the issue. There are some useful use cases for AI.

That’s a stretch

How do you have the SAS drive connected to your Mint 22 box (what exact adapter/controller)? Is it going through a real SAS HBA (LSI/Broadcom-style, IT/HBA mode), or through a RAID controller / USB-SAS bridge / “virtual” adapter?

Reason I’m asking: there are basically two connection paths:

• True HBA/passthrough: Linux gets direct SCSI access (you’ll see a /dev/sgX for the disk) and you can usually low-level reformat it back to 512-byte logical blocks (e.g., from 520/528).
• RAID/USB/translation layer: the controller hides or emulates the SCSI commands, so tools like sg_format often can’t issue the low-level format needed to switch the sector size. That might be why the disk is visible in the disks app but not in gparted.

Given the screen shots I believe it’s the later. Can someone smarter than me confirm?

USB enclosures for SAS drives are available

I’m confident this is recoverable. Can you throw the failing drive into a USB enclosure? It might be easier to reformat the drive in the OS you’re most familiar with.

And don’t feel bad about breaking things, that’s the best way to learn! I’ve been breaking things long before ChatGPT came along.

Awww man, I thought that was corn :(

What would be really cool is if also started streaming both cameras and the microphone. And changed your background image to be pro Trump.

The missile probably has better range too

GrapheneOS has a secret pin feature that wipes the phone when entered. So if someone takes your phone and demands your pin you can destroy the contents of the phone. GrapheneOS works on Pixel phones, given they are an activist, I wonder if this is what happened 🤔

I agree, I choose the option that gives me the best experience. That is normally an unofficial option. For instance, I want to choose the tv shows accessible for my daughter. I want her to have access to tv shows from all over the world. There is no official service that offers that.

Was the movie Daylight (1996)?
