Gentoo for the last 20+ years. Slackware before that.

Ran something or other off dual floppy drives at some point in the ancient times... A boot diskette and a root diskette.

I have a Samsung 4K HDR 120hz TV and can't really tell any difference between it and my ancient non-smart Phillips LCD TV that it replaced.

I have an Xbox series x with 4k hdr enabled and everything still just looks "normal" to me.

120hz is slightly noticeable compared to 60 in games that support it, but not a huge deal. 99%+ of what i do on my TV isn't 4K, HDR, or 120hz, so it's not extremely valuable. From "couch distance" anything above 720p is unnoticeable anyway.

I also have a windows 11 laptop with 4k HDR screen and disabled HDR in settings because the colors were all horrible looking with it on. Honestly I run it in 1080 instead of 4k because it uses less battery, performs better, and many programs don't work correctly at 4K, and i can't tell the difference anyway. Tiny pixels are still tiny.

I realize this whole comment may come off as old man "get off my lawn" fist-shaking. I'm not trying to downplay other people's experiences who seem to be genuinely impressed by these features, and maybe I'm just "holding it wrong", but for me, personally, I regret spending extra for the whole 4K HDR thing.

Ironically, Microsoft has retired the "Microsoft Office" name.

When they say it's "just a few bad apples" they always completely miss the point.

One bad apple can spoil the barrel.

Short answer is genocide of native people combined with racism against Black people.

Mixed-race marriage, neighborhoods and schools were illegal in the US, in some way or another, for over 300 years. The US Supreme Court did not rule it unconstitutional until 1967.

The US state of Alabama did not officially remove their laws against mixed-race marriage until year 2000.

I'm using the EasySSHFS package from F-Droid. Similar to mounting on Linux, you must create a folder as the mount point. For example, on my phone I first manually made the folder called /storage/self/primary/mnt in a local root terminal in connectbot (create a connection, protocol local, type in "su" to become root, grant access when prompted, then type "mkdir /storage/self/primary/mnt" to create the directory)

In the EasySSHFS new connection setup, i put that path in the seventh field on the form. In the sixth field is the path on the remote server that you wish to mount, for example /home/khorak

In the other fields give the username and password (or key file)

The last field contains the mount options, I did not need to change them but you can if needed.

EasySSHFS needs to be allowed root access.

Once you mount, the folder created previously at /storage/self/primary/mnt will contain the contents of the remote server. In my case, using this path makes it appear like it is on the sdcard in android. I can watch videos using VLC or listen to mp3 songs etc as if they are local on my phone.

Rooted yes, custom rom no (pixel 7). But on previous phones, custom rom once the manufacturers stops providing updates. Using Magisk, all my banking, Netflix, McDonald's, etc still works because I have it hidden from those apps. Root apps I use are things like adaway, wireguard module (not using android vpn), sshfs, 3c toolbox, tasker. And generally having root shell access to do whatever I want to do.

Not spoofed, but a random MAC.

It seems to be affecting people who have multiple users at up on their device (this includes work profile, which runs as another user)

I'm on the January play system update but don't use work profiles or multiple users and have been okay, so far... Fingers crossed

Android retains emergency alerts for the lifetime of the phone, even after they've been viewed/dismissed. They can be seen in the settings app under emergency alert history.

Steam has a year in review thing, just log into the steam store and you should see it.
