Please drop one on my face so I can retire from my job.

Why did you try to reencrypt your drive? Thats not typically a resolution for not being able to boot into your system.

Sorry. Im not sure what would make it a good or bad port. Im not familiar with what the differences would be.

It was originally released on N64 and the Switch Online N64 mode seems fine. It feels like the original game.

Honestly, its probably a good thing they canceled it. They were going to butcher that perfect game.

But also FYI, Perfect Dark is available on Nintendo Switch Online as a Nintendo 64 +17 Mature title, along with Turok and Turok 2

I believe the Pixel 9a is also available. You might snag that one instead of an 8a just to give yourself another year of support.

Yes, each eSIM has its own unique IMEI. Some phones have multiple eSIMs, so they could technically have multiple carriers/phone numbers assigned to it.

Radio is referring to the proprietary piece of hardware that is in every cell phone that handles the physical portion of transmitting radio waves for wireless connectivity. This piece of hardware generally handles LTE/5G, wifi, and bluetooth.

Your IMEI is the identifier that is burned into that hardware, which uniquely lets the carriers determine if your device can authenticate on their networks.

You can turn off the radio by disabling your cellular network or turning on airplane mode on your phone. You will temporarily lose access to your cellular network until you turn it back on.

Newer devices don’t require SIM cards to connect. They have eSIM cards that can be used. You still need one or the other to connect to a cellular network.

My state provides judicial performance reports for each and every judge per judicial body. They are based on surveys responses from attorneys, peer judges/justices, jurors, witnesses, etc. They score legal ability, integrity, communication skills, judicial temperament, administrative performance, settlement performance, etc. The scores are Superior, Very Good, Satisfactory, Poor, or Unacceptable. It gets pretty in-depth. They also provide judge biographies and history.

We also look at who their supporters are, and check for headlines theyve made, as well as social media posts.

We usually have a big voting party with some cordial friends and go through the performance reports together on our mail in ballots.

Forgive me. Just trying to understand. How does the kernel flag NEO_DISABLE_MITIGATIONS have any affect on the CPU? Seems to be targeted towards OpenCL and Level Zero, which are APIs to access GPU hardware directly.

The kernel mitigations would be for the CPU, not the GPU.

Depends on how you use your system if you have multiple users. CPU mitigations wont protect GPU workloads, and vice versa. If your CPU was mitigating GPU workloads, that would probably be a massive performance loss.

This is fine for single user systems. If your system allows more than 1 users, this is probably not something you want to do.

I changed my mkinitcpio hook from the busybox initencrypt to systemd init sd-encrypt to help with this, as it presents a different way to unlock a LUKS partition. Be sure to read the notes about sd-vconsole if you use this hook. Your mileage may vary since im not sure which OS you’re on.

Wonder how well this works with unified kernel images, secure boot, tpm, cpu microcode, and disk encryption.

1. Signal
2. SimpleX

I can think of some commercial audio processors that can help with that, but they are super pricey.

I can’t think of a linux application that has this capability. If there is something out there that offers AEC (acoustic echo cancellation) on linux with two mic inputs, id also be interested.

One way to help with this as far as inexpensive hardware is to make sure you’re using cardioid dynamic microphones, and not omnidirectional condenser microphones. Cardioid dynamic mics generally pick up audio directionally, like from the “front”. You have to be right up on the mic in order to have it record any type of audio. They generally wont pick up environmental sound from anything more than a few feet away. You can just point them away from noise you don’t want to pick up.

So we don’t have perfect privacy?

It doesn’t move at all. If your hardware is compromised, then it doesn’t matter what apps or software you run, right? Its not under your control.

So which phone has libre baseband firmware?
