I think I’ve seen these in LA.

Always wondered whats the use case. If I see these in the parking lot, no deals inside are pulling me there enough to stop by.

Could you maybe resfresh my memory a bit and share a few previous signal hacks? Thanks

I have a p8p as well and am a sucker for contactless pay.

I have a samsung android watch which costs like $50 second hand to get around the wallet not working on graphene.

I dont really care anymore about gathered metadata that much. I was more black and white earlier, but nowadays I just try to minimize the cloudification instead of being completely against it.

I choose my battles, and being against google wallet isnt really worth some effort from my side.

Some time ago, I had a sales call with tailscale for a business as a consultant.

If enterprise features are needes, theyre 2x more costly per user than a few other sase providers.

While I love wg and been using that for a long time, I have hard time believing they’ll get clients with posted prices. There was some wiggle room, but still.

Personally I’ll use tailscale at home as a backup connection as long as its good.

I’ve been running same ubuntu 18.04->20.04->22.04->24.04 virtual machine for matrix with synapse since 2019.

I’ve run it virtualized on multiple different thin clients, and in fact still do, on a t640. I’ve given 8gb ram and a few cores for it.

On slower cpus, such as the ones the thin clients I used before t640, loading a large room could take some time.

Good luck. I switched over some months ago after using samsungs since the S2.

It takes some getting used to, but I dont think there’s gonna be ant bigger showstoppers in 2026.

What I miss from samsung is the gallery (and ocr) and some smaller inconviences. Oh and dex. Android’s baked in desktop isnt really up to dex on any scale

I use my cheap samsung watch to pay. I have it paired on my gOS

Mobilepay works as does my banking apps.

I still use googol wallet to pay, but i do that on my $50 android watch

How the holding of the power btn works? I tried it just now and it just brought the menu for doing the lockdown/reboot/shutdown (i.e. advanced boot menu or something).

I think it would be better to just hold the button down in out of the view and it would go into lockdown mode…?

Got any other mirror available perhaps? Archive.ps gives infinite captcha and requires apparently disabling dns over tls to access.

Edit: original src worked in reader mode. Good read

I have that virtualized, times three. Two to have a failover, and third one with different settings for my kids (cloudflare’s family dns)

Thats what I did for 10 years.

To get my wife or parents or kids to use these often hacky and clunkier UIs was pain. I eased up and decided not to care. All iot shit are now in their own vlan with only :443 outboud allowed and I have integrated them to hassio. If my wife wants to use those million different cloud apps, I install those for her.

Decided just not to care.
