I would imagine that any new issues are due to the soldering, but I can’t say for sure. (unless the button is on the removable back)

these GPS units are still quite good, as constant tracking on a smartphone consumes quite a bit of power, while these devices can run on few AA batteries for 15-30 hours.

it’s probably the corrosion, which needs to be neutralized first. Even then it’s possible that the metal in the port had been “eaten”.

Get it to boot, go into settings and change USB or “interface” mode to Garmin spanner, it won’t autoboot into USB mode but will ask you if you want USB mode when you turn it on.

On some garmins those batteries are rechargable, though I don’t know when they recharge. Either in USB mode or when you use external power though USB (if it supports it, either by using a garmin car GPS cable or clicking no at the USB screen when you change mode to garmin spanner). The battery is used for clock, perhaps the GPS almanac too but I’m not so sure about the latter.

Also, you should test your USB port, it’s probably dirty or broken and that’s why GPS thinks something is plugged in. Try measuring resistance between USB data pins.

edit - you can try neutralizing the corrosion too

well there are no coffee shops in the middle of the ocean…

well yeah, but how many people actually go around such measures?

well yeah, it’s way simpler. you just block the entire website that hosts copyrighted traffic.

you can’t end to end encrypt the traffic destination or else no one will know where to route said traffic. this isn’t tor.

they can just bury your channel and never promote it if you don’t accept, right?

Isn’t the whole point that china wants to implement it themselves so they would know if it’s secure (i.e. has no western backdoors and has chinese backdoors)?

Doesn’t seem there is anything that they can do lol

Normal stand-by drain is less than 1% per hour, for a new device or a phone from 2015. Something is very wrong for it to drain 35% overnight.

they have a deal with authorities only to re-transmit their AM broadcast. No AM, no FM. Prevents demise of AM broadcasts.

Cheat software developers are already releasing cheats that operate at this level. If Riot wants to combat them, it has to do so at the kernel level.

and what is their endgame? “Developers are releasing cheats that emualate a mouse. Therefore Riot needs to use a camera to record your hand”?

Lots of other companies are already using similar software to prevent cheating.

If everybody is jumping off a roof, so should Riot?

“This isn’t giving us any surveillance capability we didn’t already have.” Claiming that if they wanted to steal data, their example being a secret recipe, then they could already do so in user mode.

Isn’t the whole point of anti-cheat to survey the computer? If you aren’t getting anything new, then why even use a kernel-level anticheat?

No i can’t. There is no powerful processor for word and spreadsheet on Linux libre office is just a shadow of what MS office native software can do…

Libreoffice is way easier to use than the 40 year baggage ridden MS office with its convoluted menus that get worse with each update. I finished university with libreoffice and there were nothing it couldn’t do.

No I can’t finding an executable and adding it to startup is HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY easy than to use which , where , locate , find commands

no clue what were you trying to say here

No I can’t cause ripping entire dvd with one go is easy as click and done . I don’t have to “remux” or encode or whatever I just want a dvd to be copied in folder and that’s it.

You literally are able to and you can even use the same windows software that is considered the best for disc ripping - makeMKV. It has native Linux version and does one click ripping.

No I can’t cause Linux is HARD for simpleton like me . It’s not useful for simple tasks listed above without touching command line

It’s not any harder or simpler, it’s just you already are familiar with Windows.

Usually you use the car provided by the examining institution anyways

Too bad it’s not applicable to defective-by-design appliances like the PlayStation 5.

So it’s even better than before?

Hasn’t this been a standard practice for decades? An absolute nothingburger.
