Flatpak is a fully open source technology. You’re thinking of Snaps.

Why?

Neutral and Ground are bonded at the first point of disconnect, which provides two paths to ground in the event a ground is lost was my point. Not that there are somehow “two Earth’s”.

Except with proper arc and ground fault protection on a circuit, which is mandatory on basically everything in North America now, you could half insert a plug and stick your tongue to it without getting a shock.

American electrical systems have bonded neutrals and grounds at the point of disconnect, so in the event of a ground fault, there are multiple layers of safety involved.

Lower voltage by using half of a split phase 240V means shocks are less deadly.

Electrical code also requires Arc and Ground fault protection on all circuits.

The biggest advantages to European electrical systems are smaller and fewer conductors, due to higher voltage, and appliances like kettles can draw more watts as a result.

Both systems have advantages and disadvantages, but saying that American Electrical systems are “the most unsafe electrical systems in the world” is bullshit. Visit India where people regularly hook up unsanctioned taps to live power lines or Central America where they put electric hot water heaters literally in the shower, conductors and all, almost always by Handyman Juan who doesn’t hook up any ground fault protection.

Lower voltage is less deadly.

Having a multi grounded approach provides multiple layers of safety for shorts.

Just to name a few.

American electrical systems are split phase 240V. If you want 240V, you just connect between both halves of the phase.

America has a lot of stupid, but the majority our electrical systems are very much NOT one of them.

Our UAV is online!

This is common in the US when you run out of paid high speed data for your cell phone plan. They throttle your speeds to 128kbps so you technically have “unlimited data at 3G speeds” but it’s basically barely usable.

Also true

I bought Plex Pass when it was $75 for the lifetime option.

I prefer Jellyfin, but sharing is harder for family members with it because I can’t get them to just log in without existing credentials (Google Account, Apple ID, etc). Trying to convince my 67 year old mother-in-law to enter a URL, username, and password into an app with a remote is like asking my child to eat broccoli.

For now, I’ll keep running dual stack with both. If Plex pulls lifetime passes, even though it’ll be a PITA, I’ll convert everyone to Jellyfin despite the pain.

Ubuntu 6.06 was my first Linux install. I still remember the pain of ndiswrapper to get Windows WiFi drivers working on Linux.

They mention their equipment is legacy and only supports Windows 10. An Airgapped VM of Windows 10 is a good option to continue supporting legacy hardware.

Not sure if you’re using a desktop or laptop (unclear if you’re doing DJ stuff for mixing privately or gigging on the road), but hardware passthrough through something like SR-IOV would make latency a non-issue.

However, I get what you’re saying. I was more thinking of the “I want to run this on a legacy operating system for as long as I can” aspect of things. Eliminating the concern of the hardware no longer supporting a more modern operating system was what I was trying to get at. Sorry if that didn’t come through.

Why not encapsulate Windows 10 in a VM? You can run it indefinitely as long as you don’t give it Internet.

So…

1. Not a Thorium reactor

2. Didn’t produce any power

So China still has a win here.

I appreciate it, but I just got a new phone because I needed a new one recently. I wish it could have been something like a Fairphone, but thems the breaks.

Unfortunately Telecomms in Australia seem to have a pissing contest on who can screw consumers more, America or Aussie companies.

For 4G. 5G is fine.

Really wish Fairphone would come to the US. I’d spend the money on it, but they only half-ass sold the last gen phone here on the US.

I don’t even understand why. They support most 4G and every mid and low band 5G in America. Even if I could just import it, I’d be happy.
