At least physics will never get patched. The spark device with zinc spheres will always do that thing.

FCC: And get you arrested

Half of the field is viable thanks to a single algorithm: FFT

It could have been a top Lemmy app if open sourced…

Electoral college does that

Yes, I know about phreakers but what I mean is, phone numbers differ by length. Did the exchange wait until no more tones/clicks in a while or is there a variable length acheved by, say, making all area codes start with 0?

I studied electronics and GSM was a big part of the telecommunications subject. I visited the HQ of a mobile provider, was shown around and met the cartel boss (in hindsight, I wonder how much a Luigi moment would have affected the triopoly). I also visited a museum of technology and used an early touch-click model still connected to the network (pre-DTMF so not touch-tone, and no buffer so you had to wait for the simulated dial to stop clicking).

But still, I don’t know the basics of wired phones cuz I’ve never really used them. How does voice travel both ways on a single twisted pair? How can Inspector Clouseau the telephone engineer in The Pink Panther (1978) hear a conversation from other phones in the house? How does the exchange know I’ve dialed the last digit? Can I use voice services on rotary phones, and what if I need to press * or #? All these would be obvious to 1980s kids…

No. Port forwarding, with or without a VPN, helps connectivity – you’ll be able to accept incoming connections.

Without a VPN, peers can see your IP address with or without port forwarding.

They can produce an unlimited number of CGI challenges and know what is correct. Collecting the AI training data from users only makes sense for classifying images from the real world. Even then, Google’s reCaptcha checks if you’re consistent with other users so you’re unlikely to pass with a random answer.

Also, what’s up with the tasks in the taskbar?

It’s now believed that he altered the data, since they fit the 1:3 ratios way too well for populations where each has a ¼ probability. Still, very good work considering he might not have heard of the scientific method.

Also, they were considered “lewd”. And now we know that the genetics of rats is way too complex for him to spot any patterns.

He also attempted to study bees but they were nasty, and he didn’t know that they mate while flying, rendering his breeding attempts fruitless.

Custom ROM also

There’s Bluetooth and USB (with Ghirehtet over ADB or external wireless/Ethernet card) that you can use to make a Wi-Fi internet hotspot without mobile data. Also, you could NOT connect to the internet and use LAN-based apps (KDE Connect, network printers) without extra hardware in a pinch, or just broadcast an SSID in a public space for fun.

You are correct but not with a backslash but %29.

Sure but they are atmospheric phenomena because they need gas to happen.

All but purple, blue, black and cyan seem to be real-color. I have some doubts about brown too.

Surprisingly many seem to be in real color: white, pink, red, orange, maybe brown, probably green, and yellow. (The well-known Neptune image is false color; Hubble deep-field is IR but that is redshifted so IDK, may be “real” color too.) Too bad white, pink and red are Earth’s atmospheric phenomena, of which only the aurora is really space-related, and green is just a satellite photo. Still, within NASA’s scope I guess.

On Slavic layouts, the right Alt key (AltGr) lets us type symbols like [, ], {, }, &, @, #, ×, ÷, €, đ since 0-9 is for diacritical letters by default and numbers with Shift. Still, Czech Windows users mostly use Alt codes, which is a point of friction when switching to Linux. But there, I’m happy with how I can customize the AltGr and the new AltGr+Shift layers with curly quotes, em dash, nbsp, hair space, arrows, middle dot, pi (π), pretty pi (𝛑), mu, Omega etc. My Compose key is RCtrl.
