The OS shouldn’t take that much storage regardless of whether its immutable. If you’re talking about containerized software, then it will depend on what programs you plan to run.

All of her talk lately makes me wonder of she is trying to line up a ‘save the republican party’ presidential bid.

Totally fair. So I guess make the judgment based on the lesser of two evils there.

That may not be the best advice. It might get you charged with destroying evidence. If you have graphene and its locked down, then your best bet is probably just to hope you and your device are out before they can pull anything from it.

I am no expert on lineage, so take this all with a grain of salt. You being fully updated on lineage doesn’t necessarily mean you have all security updates. The OS maintainers will take time to implement fixes after vulnerabilities are reported, and there may be a delay even if google has patched core android. Manufacturers have that same issue however, so this isn’t unique to Lineage.

The bootloader being unlocked will always be a weak point, and last I looked into it most phones don’t allow for the bootloader to be locked after unlocking.

Having your software and firmware up to date is always going to be a good idea. And if you’re expecting to go somewhere that you might be detained (protests/demonstrations) then it might be a good idea to just not bring the phone at all. Physical access to a device offers significantly more options for pulling data from the device.

If you’re comparing stock OS vs Lineage, the password length doesn’t really matter. The issue would be vulnerabilities introduced by having an unlocked bootloader, or security updates that haven’t been applied to Lineage OS.

Also its hard to answer what ‘police’ can do because that varies widely depending on which LE you’re dealing with. Basically any data can be retrieved given enough time and resources. So the this all depends on what your threat landscape looks like.

I’m surprised it has that much impact. I try to avoid wine when I can, but when I have used it I haven’t generally noticed it slowing anything down.

Totally fair. I generally try to avoid it when I can. And it’s pretty rare that I can’t find a native Linux alternative that works for me.

You should be able to use Notepad++ with Wine.

We aren’t at the point of pitched battles. People are calling for resistance.

And of we do end up at all out war with the government, the military will likely shatter and be considerably less effective than the military that couldn’t defeat the Taliban.

And do you think this would be a popular war? Fairly certain it would be less popular than any war the US ever fought including the US civil war. That at least had a purpose a reasonable number of people supported.

Even an organized and well trained militia are pretty much useless against a modern military.

Just going to ignore all the times modern militaries have lost to insurgent groups?

Haha that was absolutely my first thought

I don’t think I’d call that a knife

Bing Bong?

This isn’t really about the comic, but I’ve always thought it was super weird that the first thing people do at alcoholics anonymous is introduce themselves and give their name. That’s kind of the opposite of anonymity.

Multiple European nations have already sent members of their militaries to Greenland. Its not a large defense force, but it sends a very clear message that an attack on Greenland is an attack on Europe.

While the US has massive military power, they can’t stand in isolation. So the more support Europe shows, the less likely is leadership is to risk an attack that would likely jeopardize military treaties, trade agreements, and so much more.

The whole Greenland gambit is pretty reliant on the Danes caving and handing it over, and it’s pretty clear they have no interest in doing that.

Lots of files over that size. And something like 40 TB of storage haha. Like 80% full.

I remember when the family computer was upgraded to a 1 GB HDD. We kept wondering what could ever fill that much space. Now I have multiple TB of storage.

In addition to union/strike busting, US policing originated with slave catchers.

I’m aware of what tactile feedback is. The audible click is generally a byproduct of the mechanism that creates the tactile click. I don’t know that I’ve ever used a keyboard or mouse that has a satisfying clicky feel without some noise accompanying it. You can definitely do things to make them quieter though.
