Just because your microwave oven is not currently emitting 50 Watts per square metre doesn’t mean that others are not.

Just because it’s not doing so today, doesn’t mean that it won’t next week, month or year.

The platform is owned by Google. By using YouTube in any way, watching, liking, subscribing, commenting, searching, clicking, all of it, you’re “using Google”.

So, the answer is that you cannot use YouTube and not use Google.

If Google is broken up, that might change, but I’m not sure if that will ever happen, what form that might take or if it would ever happen at all.

No.

A microwave oven emitting no more than 50 Watts per square metre is considered safe.

This is significantly more than the radiation from a Wi-Fi network.

Your network will unlikely be operational anywhere within its range whilst a microwave oven is operating.

“Samples of all models of microwaves are tested for leakage before sale as prescribed in Australian Standard 60335.2.25:2011 clause 3. The standard says leakage at any point 50 mm or more should not exceed 50 W/m2, a level which is internationally recognised as safe.”

In other words, microwave ovens can leak, be compliant and safe and still overwhelm a Wi-FI network running at 0.1 Watts.

😂

I see that your voice to text system is working … sort of.

I’m guessing that you meant 5 GHz Wi-Fi.

In Australia there’s not much in the way of that around, if any. So far all I’ve seen is cheap 2.4 GHz IoT out of China.

Nope, still happening today :)

Wow.

If you get that wrong, right to left, it gets deleted.

I’d love to do that but the vast majority of IoT devices are 2.4 GHz only.

Yup.

In the new version, how do you edit the name, since long-click no longer works, and do you have any tokens that are for “Amazon Web Services”, which is uneditable and takes up most of the label space.

No it’s not.

It’s a rising star with climate change deniers who wave it around as a “viable” “new” energy source that competes with the, in their opinion unviable solar and wind energy alternative which are already running and generating power at a fraction of the cost associated with building nuclear power plants.

How many more Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Sellafied and Fukushima will it take for people to get it through their thick skulls that running a nuclear plant on Earth is not reasonable?

Sellafield happened in 1957 and they’re still cleaning up the site and aren’t expecting to finish this century, and that’s if they don’t run out of money.

Chernobyl is in the middle of the war between Russia and Ukraine and continues to be threatened by idiots with small dicks and big guns.

Nuclear power is not a viable option.

It goes well beyond bother.

In my opinion, the biggest issue is that software with a GPL licence is not permitted to be distributed without making the source code available, which Red Hat restricted to only paying customers, and in doing so added a licence restriction which is not permitted by the GPL.

They are now profiting off the work of every developer who ever contributed to the software they’re selling and none of those people are getting paid.

Well, mine was updated overnight by my benevolent overlords and it’s still only showing the partial editable text and now you can’t even edit it any more.

Not sure if it’s faster and still no access to the seed code, since not everyone uses a QR code.

Enshitification has well and truly set in.

That’s a big question, but I don’t trust Red Hat after the stunts they’ve pulled over the years. Here’s a taste.

Does it still take forever to launch if you have more than a screen full of tokens?

Does it still only show four characters of the editable component of the name?

Does it still refuse to show the secret as text if you load a QR code?

I’m still a “native” pendant and use Docker to bridge the gap.

I use Debian for anything that matters. The release cadence means that stuff just works and keeps working. You cannot beat the documentation and I’ve been using it for 25 years.

I’m not touching anything Redhat / Fedora with a barge pole.

Not sure what the attraction to Mint is.

Never used OpenSUSE.
