You don’t need bandwidth to switch streaming services and import your old playlists though. For example a streaming service like Tidal tags all AI music and does not monetize AI generated music.
And if you weant the music straight on your phone, something like Opus 128 kbps is already considered high quality (we have come a long way since mp3). Let’s say your cousin has 20 000 songs. That’s about 60 GB in that form, which fits on most mid grade/flagship phones.
It’s not super hard to leave Spotify if you are willing to invest some effort.
Use Exportify (free service) to download his playlists from Spotify as csv files. Or use something like Soundizz (paid) to directly convert between platforms.
You can parse the csv files and use something like Soulseek to create an offline library. Compress to aac or opus so you can take thousands of songs with you on your phone, or use your own casting service on a raspberry pi.
ZIP encryption can be pretty strong, as long as you use aes-256 and not zipcrypt. AES256 had been supported for ZIP files since 2003, just not in the built-in Windows zip handling.
We are talking about legislative texts. These are the kind of texts that are interpreted in court. They don’t specify details because they need to be universally applicable.
Let’s interpret it like most would. A $50 replacement battery for a smartphone costing hundreds of dollars to replace does not deter repair and therefore is probably in line with the directive. A $50 dollar replacement battery for a $40 dumbphone does deter repair and such a scheme would therefore be illegal.
Absolutely not enough. The EU should increase the legal warranty period instead. Standard warranty should go from 2 years to 4 years. That will increase warranty cost for manufacturers, forcing them to make higher quality products.
Long, but not longest. Fairphone is longer.
According to the directive, software may not be used to block lawful repairs. But yes, they don’t have to give away their intellectual property either.
This is also mentioned in the directive, and directives are legislative texts. The price may not be set so high as to deter repair.
That’s capitalism, always have to expand to stay succesful. China produces what the rest of the world demands.
WinUI framework was first released in 2011.
It is a native Windows-only UI framework commonly used with languages such as C++.
Worth mentioning that this export restriction was only enforced because of continuous pressure from the US.
Only if the hardware is recognized by MS and registered to be associated with your software. The software is signed so it can be traced back to you.
Indeed, that will be hard. However, it seems to be necessary to have a depression (and perhaps even a civil war?) to reduce the power of the Epstein class and change the mindset of the American people. As a non-American, I see Trump more as a symptom. The real problem seems to be the American political system in general, and the morality of the people.
With this government, America has tried to be above everyone else and acquired power and wealth in a completely immoral way. Perhaps it can be understood that the rest of world doesn’t care if the US burns down at this point, even if it brings economical losses. It’s karma.
What’s the source? VPN is used by almost all large corporations on an international scale.
It’s more related to the term “Full Self Driving”. It implies that the car is it’s own driver and therefore, that you are a passenger. A driver needs to always have control, even if some passenger messes with the pedals because he fell asleep.
They do mention it is undecided yet and an esp32 is an option. For me that would be ideal but I can also imagine some devs just want some kind of linux where they can run python scripts on.
Not everything is a competition. If people want to support WinRAR after the developer maintained it for more than 30 years and helped out millions of people, that’s just fine.
This, I think the price is decent. Most dumbphones are low cost but you notice it - terrible buttons, slow camera, lackluster audio. On top of that they have no coolness factor. This is a phone that ticks all boxes and is privacy friendly. On top of that, it is from a company I like to support.
Nice input for their AI generative models…
Stone or concrete walls are normal in many countries.
You can indeed use a hammer drill to drill holes. You can buy them for as little as 30 dollars these days. And you can use an angle grinder to make cutouts for cables/tubes, and apply plaster afterwards.
Many houses in the colder regions already have cavity walls with insulation in between the walls regardless of the building method, so I don’t think this method is very wasteful in amount of material.
However, I agree that 3D printing houses had various downsides, such as the weird surface, inflexibility to modify/expand/repair after the initial build and potentiality worse insulation characteristics. I am more of a believer in prefabricated houses, where building houses becomes an industry instead of a project.
