That would be super cool if that was a feature instead of a bug because anything that makes law enforcement’s job harder is worth praising and doing properly.

Because nostr and the fediverse care so much about what they think. I’m absolutely certain that every fediverse instance will immediately block any Australians under 16 years old. /s

If its not decentralized its not worth using. Get outta here

My guess is that somebody has already forked it if it’s a dependency and so somebody else will just republish it.

There is quite a large delta between 512 KVPS 3G and even rather slow 4G at say like 10 MBPS which allows you to stream 1080p video etc. Yes 10 MBPS is not super fast for downloading but it will get your tasks done within a decent time.

Apparently they use one of the faster IoT chips that’s supported for like 10 years.

I didn’t really have any reason to listen to them because I already do not buy a new phone every year and keep them for as long as I can.

This exactly, as long as your phone has at least one frequency band of the provider, then it will at least connect to their network and allow you to access data. Calling seems to be a whole different thing, though, because it requires something with IMS.

Well, 2G and 3G are being shut off in the United States as well. I believe AT&T shut down their 2G network in 2017 and shut down their 3G network here recently. And T-Mobile in the United States shut down their 3G network in 2022. And while their 2G network is still currently running, it won’t be forever. I believe Verizon is also in the process of shutting down or has already shut down 2G and 3G as well.

I actually may have this problem eventually in the United States as well, because I’m running a OnePlus Nord N200 with lineage OS, and it does not seem to be capable of voice over LTE while running lineage OS, but will work fine with voice over LTE using the stock ROM, which I refuse to use. Right now I either have to be within range of Wi-Fi or if I place a call my phone falls back to the 2G network in order to place the call and then flips back to 5G when the call ends.

Edit: on T-Mobile. I do not believe it will work on AT&T at all, and I have not tested with Verizon, so I’m not sure.

Edit 2: I think voice over LTE could be made to work properly because I’ve seen other lineage OS devices that work fine with it. So it must be something with this specific ROM.

By the way, I am not sure if it is a standard function of lineage OS, a standard function of Android 13 and above, or something with lineage OS on my specific OnePlus device. But I am able to limit my charge to 80% and it will never charge above that unless I turn it off. I bought the phone brand new and have been using that function since day one and it works extremely well.

I just haven’t really seen it brought up as a point of discussion.

That is kind of my thought. Phone technology doesn’t change drastically within two years and a car does not change drastically within two years.

Good points

Edit: Though there was the point in the early to mid-2010s where hardware was improving so rapidly that it would have been infeasible to not replace it as soon as possible.

because no one accepts monero offline.

With the XMRBazaar map this may change

I think it’s actually been around for three or four years, but I didn’t start using it until the Reddit API stuff last June (2023).

Look into Monero. You get the benefits of digital payments, but you get the privacy of cash.

Since taxation is theft, the proper thing to do is evade taxes.

Thankfully, Monero denies nobody
