Pixel 6 is the minimum that can load up GrapheneOS. Those are like $130 on eBay.

Pixel 8/9 does have some CPU features that help separate memory, which can be useful for keeping apps from creeping on memory they shouldn't.

This is the sort of nuts and bolts of protesting that Americans are learning the hard and fast way.

Since you're posting this all over the thread, I'll also have to repeat the information that gyro/accelerometers are not capable of doing that. Small measurement errors stack up and throw it completely off.

Gyro/accelerometer data isn't accurate enough to do that. Small errors in the data add up and will quickly drift away from the actual location. You can use it for video game controllers, but not tracking over large distances. Edit: there's a reason the best VR tracking often uses external methods, not controllers alone.

But most phones have GPS and that's where the real problem is.

It's an odd one, because it only applies to new developments. As far as anyone knows, Ukraine doesn't have any rare earths worth mining, and doesn't have a lot else new to mine, either. However, that's based on old geological surveys. They might well have something, but it's all speculation.

They're a vacation where everything is taken care of for you. Find a spot, read a book, get all the drinks you want. Need food? Walk over to the chosen food place. Even with thousands of people on board, you can generally find a quiet spot with drinks.

There's all-inclusive resorts, yes, and I've found they're generally more expensive than cruises. If you make your resort hotel float, it's cheaper. I don't know why.

I'd only go anymore if it's a trip that would show things you generally can't see other ways, such as the coast of Alaska or Norway, or going through the Panama Canal. Caribbean cruises are an absolute waste.

"If it's stupid but works, it wasn't stupid" doesn't apply to safety or security.

It works like Mr. Burns' immune system. Everyone is trying to listen in on Trump, but they step on each others toes and cancel out.

Star Fleet Intelligence also operates on this principle.

they repeat what i said, did you read them? previously ai model training was entirely based on simply buying more chips as fast and as hard as possible, deepseek changed that

Yes, and it says exactly what I claimed. DeepSeek is an improvement, but not to the level initially reported. Not even close.

Youtube uses a fuck ton of power but is an incredibly efficient video delivery service

What a colossally stupid thing to say. We're not looking at starting up new nuclear reactors to run YouTube.

Or Putin dies of natural causes. Which isn't too farfetched. Then the oligarchs find themselves a Deng Xiaoping-like figure who says "ok, all that was bad, let's do something else".

Probably, Russia will have to face the facts that they can't build their own fighter jets, bombers, tanks, or fighting ships larger than a destroyer anymore. Not on the scale they need. Even if you assume some of the designs they're putting out are good (a big assumption), they can't possibly build them at scale. China is sitting right over there with the factories for those things. Xi Jinping will be happy to take their check, but will make sure it clears first.
