Drones trespassing in my property

Idk if anyone had a similar problem before, but I live in EU by the countryside, at first there were only a few but now it happens more and more often to see drones passing over my house, I am sure they are civilian drones because law enforcement has no reason to use them since the area is quiet (and honestly I doubt they would...

ben_dover,

there’s a software package floating around to hijack drones and remote control them yourself. it might be time to test the drone’s security capabilities

ben_dover,

I’ve tried both CalyxOS and GrapheneOS, since I’ve had a Pixel already. I don’t consider one “better” than the other.

Calyx is based on LineageOS, so you get a wider range of devices and functionality. It uses microG, which works great as long you don’t use any apps with IAP.

GrapheneOS’ play service sandbox can handle the case though, so I went with that, not being able to live without MacroDroid pro. Plus I like they got rid of Google location services altogether, and functionality-wise I’m not missing anything either.

Other people will have other priorities or preferences when it comes to their devices. Use whatever tickles your pickle.

Any suggestions for cheap but decent laptops for coding?

I’m currently learning how to code (currently Python, then maybe JavaScript), but I’m not always around my desktop, and learning on my phone is not always an option (also, it can be quite cumbersome at times). Therefore, I’m looking into purchasing a laptop just for learning how to code and stuff....

ben_dover,

steam deck is NOT a proper replacement for a work desktop, ymmv

ben_dover,

“Altered carbon” had a similar logic

ben_dover,

fuck you Amelia

ben_dover,

what’s a good alternative if one’s using GMaps mainly for travelling instead of navigation (i.e. looking up nearby restaurants and getting reviews, public transport, attractions and their opening hours, etc.)?

ben_dover,

what if you’re autistic?

ben_dover,

your ability to speak Italian would be impaired but you could still get a small phone that can be used with one hand

ben_dover,

sunshine/moonlight works for me, even though steam link crashes after 10s

“I thought I had muted the Zoom video” - that’s the thing, muting is for mics 😂

ben_dover,

that’s the thing - put tech in stuff where it makes sense. no one needs an Internet connected toothbrush or a smart fridge, they’re just useless gadgets

ben_dover,

I’ve had worse dates

ben_dover,

Do people really talk like this?

ben_dover,

Americans will come up with some ridiculous unit for it, like 3 1/16 * 10^24 inches per lunar cycle

ben_dover,

Isn’t warp just light speed? I was under the impression that warp 1 is the speed of light, and eg warp 7 being 7x the speed of light

ben_dover,

the gorilla isn’t wrong

ben_dover,

how long is a piece of string…

ben_dover,

ben_dover,

moar jpeg!!
