What about more extreme cases, say Castaway (movie) type situation. Stranded on an island in middle of nowhere.

But conveniently, one of the packages has a functional 2m battery powered radio and a Yagi too. There’s no one you can make contact with, except… the ISS.
What if the ISS was the only station you could contact?
“Hello International Space Station, I am stranded on an island after a plane crash. Can you help?”

Free Starlink during disasters for everyone, but for surveilence child protection and anti-terrorism you must accept X as a Certificate Authority.

I asked a lecturer some question, I think it was what happens when bit shifting signed integers.
He asked an LLM and read the answer.
Similarly he asked an LLM how to determine memory size allocated by malloc. It said that it was not possible, and that was the answer. But a 2009 answer from stack overflow begged to differ.
At least he actually tried it out when I told him.

But at this point I even had my father send me an LLM written slop that was clearly bullshit (made up information about non-existent internal system at our college), which he probably didn’t even read as he copied everything including “AI answers may be inaccurate.”

Here you go then:

For quick graphical management I use FX File Explorer because it keeps the timestamps when moving files.

For something more I use… Termux. I like to sort things based on timestamps as well, but often I like to set some custom modification time, or copy modification time of a file being replaced (e.g. replacing old 128kbps MP3 for FLAC), and I don’t know of any other way than touch.
Similarly I don’t know what else to use for syncing directories other than rsync.
Plus, I can run SSH in Termux, that means Rsync-ing between PC and my phone is pretty easy.
And it also means I can mount the phone over SSHFS (granted KDE Connect already takes care of this).
I can also use GPG for encryption and decryption of files.
And Vim works fine for me for text editing too.
And now since I already have that, say I want to access some files on any computer. It probably has a browser, and Termux has NGINX, coupled with FancyIndex it gets pretty nice for file access. I like the Material theme.

Now, a bit of a disclaimer: BE CAREFUL WHAT ADDRESSES THE PHONE IS LISTENING ON
I set them manually rather than the typical default of all interfaces. Unfortunately, Android seems to have no firewall. I can easily reach things on my phone connected to mobile data thanks to IPv6. This may or may not be desired. Oh, and NAT isn’t for security either, so don’t think you’re safe because you only use IPv4. Perhaps devices behind same NAT aren’t isolated.

Edit: Example of the WebUI with Material theme (sorted by date because I was able to set the file timestamps):

Found the raccoon.

I have similar issue with Google.
At some point I used to use Google Photos backups. I wanted to delete the backed up files, but there’s no way to do that. It would also delete them from the devices.
And I guess it checks them based on hash, because even in the main view it always figures out where the files are currently stored, if on device, even after I moved them elsewhere. Otherwise these other images only show up in their respective folders, not the main view.

I guess CRTs were fine. I used to play a lot with that. If it’s looking funny, use degauss and watch the magic.

I feel like my body wants to stay up for 30 hours followed by 14 hours of sleep.
I need a different planet.

That’s what the fan is for. I leave a strategic gap between bed and blanket to allow for airflow. Works especially well when turned against wall, then I breathe through the gap between bed and the wall.

I can’t sleep with my head uncovered.

Dihydrogen monoxide isn’t a good name for water, especially in this context. Hydroxic acid or hydrogen hydroxide make much more sense. Water only splits into O2 and H2 under electrolysis, not due to acid/base chemistry. You have to be actively adding electrons. In solution, it dissociates into ion states as protons H+ and hydroxide OH-.

Now I don’t know whether you’re making a joke about a thick bush or a fursuit.

But maybe don’t pick the first cheapest thing.
I got some 2-in-1 shampoo+ shower gel that was cheap. Just the first one.

I used it and WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT. Super uncomfortable, cold, impossible to wash off.

“With menthol”
Why would you do that?

Last inch of mine look like a 5 year old toothbrush with Y shaped ends.
I don’t have a better description for that.

“I can finally buy that second-hand 16GB DDR4”
“Oh.”

I keep checking every day. It’s still going up. Hell, people are bidding on damaged RAM stick that’s missing SMD components.

Might be just gathering choices.

Depends.
I am in uni, so a bit different, but there’s many sites that allow access to articles, studies, books, etc. to us based on source IP. And I guess it could be hard to route only those, especially if some of them decide to use Cloudflare or similar.

Another option is doing so for easier monitoring of work devices that people will always try to use for things they’re not supposed to.

I used to do absolutely everything on my phone, until I got a ThinkPad.

But yeah, I went from a terrible HP that had SMR HDD and a TN panel where I constantly had to move my head depending on what I wanted to read because it had no contrast to 2-in-1 ThinkPad with pretty nice touchscreen IPS and NVMe SSD that I can charge with the same power bank and wall adapter I use for my phone.

I am not really joking with that screen. When I wanted to do something beyond text, I’d either connect it to TV, or use a HDMI USB capture card connected to my phone.

Perhaps some do. Reddit has or at least had an onion address.
But last I checked, they were blocking Tor IP addresses… even on their onion address. Someone out there had to be smoking something.
