Fuck Sony overpriced crap. I’m still salty with their v2 update that damaged the battery.

Just another unimportant potatophone.
Where’s the console.log('here')
? That would be the equivalent of a “you are here” on a map.
Surprise, surprise. Every update is a nag with “jump in”, “this is cool”, “you’re missing out”… And then it’s “play by my rules or GTFO”.
Their greed is my fuel. Arrrrr
My bootloader didn’t fail. I modified my fstab without setting nofail
nor noauto
, took the laptop on the road, rebooted, and learned the hard way. ib4 RTFM.
Sorry, you might have misunderstood my point. The long processing time is “fine” if it happens at all. The issue I’m trying to bring up is that in most cases these acts end without real consequences or punishment, so any greedy newcomer repeats it.
Example of what I’d like to happen: Euro Parking contract will not be renewed, and the company will be banned for 10 years to have any contracts with TfL or any other agency.
Set precedent by law, not just a slap in the wrist, so they think twice instead of writing it off as a business expense.
OK, we have all the details, wrong doers, and corrupts. When can we expect them to be held legally accountable?
I vouch for Syncthing as well. I enabled storing in my own remote hosting provider marking it as untrusted, so my files are encrypted there.
Kindly pick up your marketing attempt and take it back to reddit.
I’m not sure if you’re referring to just the functionality of being able to pay by tapping the phone, but there’s Google Pay, which does exactly that and is mostly accepted wherever apple’s solution is accepted. It works in any Android phone with NFC.
The reason they put this kind of limits is to protect the income (of coming?) companies. Nobody wants pesky people growing their own stuff, but spending taxable money. Even nicer “for everybody” if the initial money comes from lobbying companies paying for the law to be favorable to them.
The app is called Fennec F-Droid and is maintained by Mozilla. Just clarifying so it can be found.

There is no reason a camera cannot be on all the time… Why couldn’t it?
Sensor wear, mechanical parts (if any), heat, etc. Essentially wear and tear. Just like nothing lasts forever, using it in a way that it’s not intended/tested/quality assured, may reduce its lifespan.
Basically: “is the device intended to be on and recording 24/7?”
Glad to know. 2-3 years is a good lifetime, especially when compared against keeping the phone unused and stored in a drawer.
The camera is on all the time
That’s what I meant: I don’t know (as in I have zero clue) the camera is designed to operate that way. Is a naive assumption on my side and I’d be glad to learn this is not the case.
PIR sensor
No, I didn’t expect a sensor, that’s what I tried to say: the hardware is not there, so (on my mind) a constant image analysis/monitoring would be necessary in order to perceive movement and start recording, as in writing video to storage.
I’m not aware of software to achieve this, but I assume it wouldn’t be possible to activate the camera based on motion detection, as the phones do not have hardware for this. Sure, it could be possible to have the camera working 24/7 and only record when there’s movement in front of it (e.g. watching for pixel changes in the image being captured) but I doubt these cameras can sustain that kind of uninterrupted use, meaning at some point they will just fail. Just my thoughts, as I find the idea interesting but would love to have that same kind of solution.
The best way to start is reading the documentation of the project. For example, the docs of i3 (a tiling window manager) are pretty good.
You could do a live USB of Manjaro i3 to test it before installing, that specific disto even comes with basic instructions on how to use i3 written in the default wallpaper. Then start hacking away the config file, and when comfortable, replace the i3 status bar with polybar, which also has great docs and lots of examples.
Trial and error is a good way to learn, and in a live USB you don’t have risks*, except losing everything after rebooting, in which case you could try to run the OS in VirtualBox.
Luke Smith in YT has some pretty good videos explaining stuff.
*as long as you don’t do something very silly, like mounting your drive and formatting/repartitioning it, or trying to install the distro where your actual OS lives.
