  • With removable batteries is that there is actually a legitimate reason for getting rid of them, in that it’s much harder to waterproof a device with a removable battery.

    I’d still like to see the option available, but I can at least understand why it’s not from a practical standpoint. The only reason carrier locks exist is to increase the cost of change for the end user, making them less likely to switch providers.


  • Its the best when you buy an LP and get a download code for the album as well.

    I listen to LPs mostly when I want music to be the primary thing im doing. There is a whole ritual involved with putting a record on. Whereas, sometimes I just want to listen to something while I’m doing dishes or driving, and then playing an MP3 over a Bluetooth speaker from my phone is just infinitely more convenient.


  • Yes, it’s possible

    You need a SIP trunk to connect to and a PBX server. I would also recommend a proxy server to obfuscate your SIP server as it will be constantly attacked.

    It doesn’t technically need its own network, but having it on its own VLAN is recommended as you will want to have some QoS policies for the UDP voice traffic otherwise your call audio will be choppy

    Domain squatting is incredibly scummy, but I have no idea how it would be possible to have any other system.

    My understanding is that domains do expire unless you pay the fee to renew for another year.

    Regarding unused domain names, how would anyone know if a particular name is being unused? Domain names are used for more things than browsable websites. You’d have to have a system that could determine if traffic is going to those names, which seems bad from a privacy standpoint and also pretty easy to script around.



  • This is not really the same thing.

    The Apple lawsuit was about running unsigned code on the iPhone, which courts deemed that Apple couldn’t use copyright as a tool to enforce its walled garden.

    Nintendo isn’t arguing about people modifying their switch to run homebrew. They’re arguing that to use Yuzu you need to provide it with a copy of the decryption keys and system firmware which must be either extracted from a Switch or distributed illegally.

    This is a much stronger case in Nintendo’s favor, than the Apple jailbreak one. Although, I suspect the Yuzu dev has a better case as it’s already legal to back up discs and ROMs as long as you dont distribute them and they’re not responsible for other people’s actions if they choose to break copyright



  • There are a few things that determine the amount of RAM your PC can handle.

    Simplest is the amount of slots on the Mobo. It’s hard to put extra RAM into a machine if there is nowhere to plug it in.

    Next is the motherboard limitation. This is mostly based on the type of RAM it takes. DDR4 has a maximum size of 64GB per DIMM and DDR5 maxes out at 512GB per DIMM

    Finally and most crucially is the CPU. CPUs have onboard memory controllers these days and they can only handle the amount of RAM that they can address. This value changes from CPU to CPU so you’ll want to check the specs for the model you have.

    If you go over the supported amount, the PC will likely just fail to POST and never boot. If it does boot it will just ignore the extra RAM and never actually use it.
