I like computers, trains, space, radio-related everything and a bunch of other tech related stuff. User of GNU+Linux.
I am also dumb and worthless.
My laptop is ThinkPad L390y running Arch.
I own RTL-SDRv3 and RSP1 clone.

After a year there’s only something about linux-firmware requiring manual intervention.
I thought I wasn’t reading the news in correct place. Manjaro had update snapshot discussion threads, and usually there were things to fix manually. Usually just minor things.
Pine64 devices like the PinePhone still use it for serial: https://pine64.com/product/pinebook-pinephone-pinetab-serial-console/
But underneath it’s just unicast to your phone, no?
But anyway, beamed directly it may be, it’s called beamforming.
In the world of 5G, this is the act of focusing a wireless signal in a specific direction. Compared to simply sending a signal across a wide area, beamforming requires more sophisticated antenna technology.
[…] Beamforming technology, on the other hand, sends a precise and concentrated signal right to your smartphone. It is more deliberate and intentional with its delivery method.

The other Arch user body type
I connect to mine with a USB serial adapter, since my laptop doesn’t have one built-in, which I wish it did. Software-wise, I just use screen because I am lazy to use something like Minicom.
Just don’t set any low baud rate for Linux. It will wait for logs to be printed out while booting. Though perhaps you can reduce the loglevel, I haven’t tried that. I’ve tried 300 baud for fun, and that wasn’t fun. I think it was over half an hour to boot up just waiting for logs to print.
I honestly don’t remember what I did, but this lies in my /etc/default/grub and looks relevant:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=ttyS1,115200"
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT="console serial"
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm serial"
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit=1 --speed=115200"
Also it’s useful to then set width, height and terminal type. I think terminal type is in $TERM , and size is set with stty, but I am not sure. It’s been a while.
You may also need a “null modem adapter” to reverse RX and TX, but oddly enough, that actually makes it not work with my adapter, despite it also working when directly connected to a switch. Maybe it can figure out which end it’s supposed to be? Dunno.
That rare occasion where you’re actually on a console
Actually having login console on a serial port can be pretty useful if you screw up something with network on a headless PC. I wish modern computers still had that as it also works better than USB adapters.
You forgot one m.
In Slovakia we also ask about bricks in the same way.
More battery drain with anti-skip.
The tables have turned later on. The anti-skip would extend battery life. It would get enough buffer allowing the CD to spin-down and then it would spin back up when needed. This time could be even longer if playing MP3.
For example, my Panasonic SL-CT520 does 100 second “anti-skip” (at this point it’s not really just anti-skip), and with MP3 cites up to 155h of playback time. Unfortunately, the unit I have can’t play CD-RW (it is mentioned in the manual) which probably means a degraded laser.
But even with CDDA, my Sony D-EJ000 cites 16 hours with anti-skip and only 11 hours without anti-skip. Unfortunately, in this case the anti-skip also reduces audio quality slightly since it uses lossy compression, so I keep it off.
At least I think that’s what the manual is trying to say
To enjoy high quality CD sound, select “G-off”.
Let me think, when did I last use a CD player like that?
Oh, I remember. Today morning. Oh, it’s been a while.
Perhaps a problem in museum, but at least where I live any highly portable CD player like this gets called “discman” same as with portable cassette players being called “walkman”.
Reminds me of this gem: “Download now”
Download what?
Google brings up some running band with brand “Naked”.
Google probably pulled some vandalized page from Wikipedia. Like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=1274673353
External HDDs, external DVD drives, laptop cooling pads, if you were looking for examples.
Stealing some real food, destroying anti-homeless architecture, sleeping in your own car, getting an abortion, same-sex marriage.
Anyway, I doubt most people would get violent. Most people aren’t just held back by laws, but morality. People would probably just be trying all kinds of drugs mostly, racing, trespassing and breaking into places. What better time for exploring some abandoned buildings, or staff-only areas.
You’d probably find me in a train depot, probably taking pictures and trying to figure out how to get one of the engines running. If that area wasn’t guarded of course.
Alternatively, I’d probably steal a bus. Or a semi truck. Just temporarily. I don’t have a drivers license, but I want to try driving that.
Hmm, I might take a bicycle to the airport. I doubt people would risk flying, and it would probably be the emptiest area for cycling.
Possibly AI, I don’t know.
As for the fandom, I am not sure you got it right, since you mentioned “kinks”, “consent” and “porn”. It isn’t a sexual thing. Or rather about as much as you make it. Same as cosplay. But yeah, it’s still a thing in both.
Partly why Manokits and Dutch Angel Dragons are my favorite species. They’re both strictly SFW, especially Dutchies.
In short, both species have no sexual organs, but Manokits may have nippleless breasts purely for sexual dimorphism. Dutchies are more strict and straight up don’t even have genders, by default being refered to by they/them, but other pronouns are allowed.
As for how strict the community is, about this strict:
One of the most swift and severe bans you can obtain is having “not safe for work” (NSFW) adult-themed art of your Dutch Angel Dragon. The ban is [effective] immediately upon its discovery and is a complete ban from both the community and right to use the species.
The community and the creator (Ino) alike does not tolerate the existence of adult artwork of the species; whether something is considered “adult” or not is subject to Ino’s discretion. Dutch Angel Dragons by nature are a family-friendly species, and one of the required aspects of the species’ core physiology is that they do not have any digestive or reproductive organs of any type, nor can they ever manifest any type of sex-specific body features because sex and gender does not exist in the species. Anything that is intended to resemble or function as such is not permitted; regardless of the owner’s claims it is NOT a Dutch Angel Dragon if it includes any of these elements. We also strongly discourage anthropomorphic art with sexually-related dimorphism in general (eg. female breasts) but this alone is not a bannable offence, it is merely not an ideal representation of the species.
