Honestly, what can you do? Most of these guys barely have time to pull the trigger without aiming before the drone is in death range. A bunch of the clips had a second drone watching from a distance, probably ready with a second charge. Maybe you get lucky once, I doubt you get lucky twice.

You could imagine solutions to an explosive fpv drone in a test range scenario. Maybe flechette/buckshot from a 40mm grenade system. A net thrown like pocket sand.

I don't see how any of these are practical in the open field, or with <5s reaction time.

EMP is basically useless here, what you could make with what you could scrounge in the field would only be useful in death range of the explosive.

Assuming you could juryrig a signal scanner and reliably figure out what they were operating the drone on, maybe you could turn a field radio in to a jammer, if you're lucky. But now you're a walking black spot, that's broadcasting its location constantly. They still only need to lose one drone to signal interference to know somewhere near there's an artillery target - and even civvy radio operators are really good at finding illegal signals by triangulation.

Eventually something will be thought of to provide some sort of counter, but I don't see how that's going to happen without extensive testing and time. Military equipment and manufacturing does not change overnight. War doctrine takes even longer to change.

It will be the final form of all emulation I do from now on.

Currently syncthing to a server manages sharing my states and saves between steamdeck, bazzite home rolled steam machine and Desktop. This would be the dream for portability, and user sharing!

Locking the bootloader (sh.itjust.works)

I've been looking through the documentation and installation guides for PostmarketOS, and I've noticed there seems to be no mention of locking the bootloader after flashing.

Is that because there's no issue with doing so, or because you can't?

I'm looking at installing on a Fairphone 5, but anyone with any device that's able to share their experience would be appreciated.

As the title asks. I have an up to date prescription, where's the best place to order from?

According to Cory Doctorow, Rupert Murdoch owned newspapers have made over 100 editorials attempting to smear Lina Khan at the FTC. A cursory google search seems to corroborate this assertion.

I'm inclined to agree that there's nothing 'election year' about these cases, and that real work is being done to claw back some measure of control from these monopolies.

The time it took you to write this would have been better spent reading the article:

Because Android isn’t technically “installed” on the Switch, but rather an external microSD card, you can switch between the default system and Lineage at any time.

Running Lineage is a big deal for those of us who have a switch laying around that no longer have a use for it.

  • It can be an android tv device replacement
  • Buy a $20 goose neck tablet mount, and now it's a way to play streamed steam games or use the android tv jellyfin client to watch/play stuff without using the main TV
  • Bedside clock/radio with loads of extra features
  • Dedicated HomeAssistant remote

Or, the basic use case - Play emulated games on a neat handheld package with a decent screen on a plane or something, without needing to carry or buy another device.

Let me introduce you to an interesting theory.

If I’m doing a grocery shop alone, I can’t be trusted not to buy some. Sometimes I bring some home. Sometimes it doesn’t make it.

Oh yeah, I like it cold too. I know I’m a monster.

No. Being valued at $39M is not a success story, it’s a mental disease.

I mean, maybe test the water supply? Odds are there’s something very wrong with it these days
