Graduated with an engineering degree just before the teens and have always had multiple round interviews :/

Quick question, you said air intake at the front bottom. Is that what the black oval at the bottom of your render is? Or is the black bar USB ports?

Oh snap, I found the user manual and it has a much better image

I know it’s super low resolution, but the Acer B300 desktop I found on their website in the Wayback Machine looks really close to your render.

I can’t seem to find any other images of it though.

Not an answer but another idea for jogging your memory. I don’t know what PC magazines were popular in Germany, uhh well ever, but it’s not too hard to find archived copies of popular magazines here in the US from that time.

Here is a random copy of PC Magazine from some month in 2006.I didn’t see any PCs that matched your rendering, but there was an Acer Aspire that I had completely forgotten about.

Your second point is specifically the reason I don’t pay for Premium. I would actually really like to but unless there is some kind of guarantee they won’t be double dipping, I’m not going to.

That’s nice. I wish a security token was also an option, but it doesn’t appear they have any intention of implementing that. I don’t like the idea of using biometrics for anything specifically because of law enforcement and how there I can be compelled to provide biometric data. A security dongle is almost the same, but with the “advantage” that a little bit of security through obscurity can be implemented since they not only have to know a token is required, but also which one.

Technically that’s also a disadvantage in that a security token can be lost vs biometric, but that’s the risk profile I would personally prefer.

It would be nice if there was a way to use 2FA to unlock a phone. Using a password in combination with biometric or NFC token. That would also allow for the use of an emergency pin as well.

Not that I don’t think Bezos is a complete piece of shit, but he is no longer the CEO of Amazon.

Anyway, fuck Jeffrey Bezos.

I could be completely wrong as it’s outside of my areas of competency, but my understanding is that the functionality was harder to achieve because of some technical reason due in part to Google/Alphabet fuckery. So another day ending in “y”.

Unattended updates for everyone, 1.19 is here https://f-droid.org/2024/02/01/twif.html

Yeah, fuck that guy.

Technically he isn’t the CEO anymore. Doesn’t mean he isn’t still a cunt.

For whatever it’s worth I have been using a Fairphone 5 in the US for over a year on T-Mobile.

Indeed. I usually use 7-zip’s built in tool to do it when I need to.

Why doesn’t she have to ask me out? That doesn’t seem very equitable.

You are allowed to record content like a broadcast though, which makes me wonder if that means that ripping is illegal, but piping it through a capture card isn’t?

Technically I’m half right and half wrong (I think). It’s not illegal to backup media that one owns, but it is illegal to break DRM/copy protection which is required to rip most physical media these days.

Suffice to say the legality of it is a cluster fuck, but the morality, in my opinion, is pretty clear. Fuck the corpos.

But it is legal in the country he lives in as well as the country YouTube is headquartered in.

You don’t sound like a very pleasant person to try and have a constructive conversation with.
