Until they leak in the rain. If my feet get wet walking across wet pavement, either through the sole, because the sole and upper are separating or a hole in the side, I retire them.
The thing is it doesn't need to be produced in the city. Cities are notoriously population dense. If you take into account the energy usage of the surrounding rural areas and the land area that they have, it starts to be a tiny proportion of all of the land area of a country, rather than a city.

First they came for my email address, and I did not speak out because I had nothing to hide.
Then they came for my phone number, and I did not speak out because I had nothing to hide.
Then they came for my precise location at all times, and I did not speak out because I had nothing to hide.
Then they came for me and had evidence that I emailed a nearby business a month ago, called a nearby business last week and location data said I was nearby at the time of the crime and there was no data left to speak for me.
This is something I've been thinking about for a while. I've decided to get a Pixel with GrapheneOS as my next phone and I'm trying to decide the pros and cons of putting a SIM card in it. Convenience vs privacy, public wifi with a VPN vs using phone data, etc. ...
A SIM card only gives you cell phone service. The cellular modem on your phone still connect to towers you're still tracked by your IMEI, you can still make emergency calls, your phone is still pinging towers, you're just making things inconvenient for yourself
based on all the questions you've posted lately you desperately need to talk to a psychologist. We don't know your situation, and you need an objective 3rd party with training, experience and a legal requirement of privacy to figure your issues out. Someone you can tell everything to, who won't share it, and can pick through your perceived and actual experiences to guide towards healing.

Well, if you're only doing black and white photography, you can have dim red lights on once you've processed the film into negatives. Black and white photographic paper isn't affected by red light. Color photography is a whole different beast, and all the steps need to be done in complete darkness.
I guess the one thing said about darkrooms is, "Even when you think you've blocked all the light, there's something you missed that's gonna ruin your first roll of film."

Just because the laptop is powered down does not mean that no circuits are getting power. Wake on LAN/WLAN is a thing, and most devices without a physical power switch, (a power bitton is not a switch), mean that there is a miniature power draw listening for that signal. The manufacturer might have other bits that are still active as well, you can't be sure. If your ultra paranoid about state level actors it might be a good idea. If you're just worried about somebody swiping your credit card number or something, probably overkill.

deets? assuming youtube? desktop? mobile? app? browser? which one? shield looks like SponsorBlock? Usually just waiting a sec the UI disappears when you're not moving the mouse on mobile, usually tapping once somewhere except the center of the video. Good luck.
if i had an account decades ago (real names only era), and deleted every post (manually) and my account when a .edu wasn't going to be required anymore, and I currently use noscript + uBlock origin, apple devices with Brave, how much of this stuff do you think the company has?

Hi, I am a computer nerd. I also took a computer programming class and got the highest score in the class, but I never followed up with advanced classes. Recently, I've thought of different ideas for software I'd like to try to create. I've heard about vibe coding. I know real programmers make fun of it, but I also have heard so ...
if you know how to code, you can vibe code because you can immediately see and be confident enough to identify and not use obvious mistakes, oversights, lack of security, and missed edge cases the LLM generated.
if you don't know how to code, you can't vibe code, because you think the LLM is smarter than you and you trust it.
Imagine saying "I'm a mathematician" because you have a scientific calculator. If you don't know the difference between RAD and DEG and you just start doing calculations without understanding the unit circle, then building a bridge based on your math, you're gonna have a bad time.
The same thing was happening with my GPU so I underclocked and undervolted it to hell using msi afterburner and now instead of getting 85 C during gaming sessions it's around 70 C. my CPU fan is always loud. i think the thermal paste is gone. I'm not willing to take my computer apart because where my computer is it's really ...
If you don't feel comfortable fixing it where you are, search for a maker space. libraries in larger cities often have a maker space where you can get tools and expertise to complete these sorts of tasks. They may even be able to connect you with people willing to help for free. It's highly unlikely that you will break your computer by replacing the thermal paste on the video card just ground yourself by touching a door knob or faucet before working on the system and don't shuffle your feet on carpet in between the door knob and your workspace. That should eliminate most static shock which could cause damage to your circuits.
so this is definitely going to be the cheapest and jankiest option, but you can basically implement it instantly.
buy a digital outlet timer and schedule it to be on from 03:01 am - 02:59am. The router will lose power for 2 minutes at 3am in the cabin, but it will get rebooted every day.

Web pages are not allowed to list your extensions. They can indirectly surmise you have certain extensions based on how your requests differ from expectations. For example, if they have advertisements, but your browser never actually makes any requests to load the images, CSS, JS or HTML for the advertisements, they can deduce you have an ad-blocker. That's a datapoint they now have to ID you: "has an ad-blocker"
Now let's say they have an ad they know AdBlockPlus allows, but uBlock Origin doesn't. They see your browser doesn't load that ad. Another datapoint: "Not using AdBlockPlus".
Based on what requests go back and forth between your browser and their servers, they map out a unique fingerprint.
Now you visit another site, and lo and behold, all the same quirks are found. Tada, they now say "hm, probably the same browser," and start personalizing content. Site use an ad network, so it's the common denominator, not the sites you visit. The ad networks do the between-sites tracking.
also, VPN does diddly squat when you login to some service like google, facebook, xitter, amazon, outlook, reddit, etc. You logged in as you. They don't give a shit you're logging in from another IP. And if the sites are working with the same ad network, if you've ever logged in from your real IP even once, they they just add another datapoint about you: "Sometimes uses a VPN" and that gets tucked away in your permanent record.
nothing you do online is private. I'm not saying "give up" but it's pretty bleak and I don't see it getting better anytime soon.

There's a big ol scary warning before entering the installer and before any changes are made to your HDD/SSD, it would take a lot of mistakes in a row to somehow erase Windows by accident while using the Live USB.
