The dumbphones being released now should all work on modern networks. The connection being 4G / 5G doesn’t mean the phone must have an internet browser and an app store.

Luckily software like Teams has noise cancellation, so keyboard sounds generally get filtered out.

If they take issue with you disliking Musk (since I presume that is the political belief you are talking about) then maybe they are not great company to keep.

10 Mbps up in the year of our lord 2026?..
I swear to god, I’m not convinced the US is a first-world country.

Turkey has been at it longer than the US has with Trump. I’d argue the US is doing a Turkey speedrun

They only have three models of laptop. The Framework 12, 13, and 16

Within each model they might upgrade the specs, or change some things around, but there is no break in compatibility from generation to generation. If you buy a Framework today, (assuming they don’t go bust) you will be able to buy the upgraded parts a few years down the line and slot them into your existing laptop.

I travelled to the UK back in the 2000s, and they confiscated a bottle of lens liquid I had mistakenly put in my handluggage rather than the main luggage.

From the reviews I saw the U3 really only has macros.
In my opinion the activities are necessary for it to be a full-fledged Harmony replacement.

I’d love it if they’d release a base station-less version with activity capability. I see no reason why that wouldn’t be possible (other than potentially cannibalising their own sales with a cheaper and similarly capable model)

I checked some reviews to see how they operate. It looks like the main difference is that the Sofabaton does not have “activities” where the remote keeps track of the state of a device. That is a bit of a shame, but other than that is seems like a pretty close match.

Thanks. I’ve been looking to a proper remote to carry the torch of the Logitech Harmony. This seems like a great package

I think using electronic counting (of paper ballots) can be an acceptable way to speed up how soon we get to know what the result will likely be after the polls close. But it is important that there always happens a manual count, and that that manual count should ultimately be the answer we trust.

And with voting machines there is no verifiable oversight.

You just kind of have to trust that the software that is running on the voting machine is actually correctly tallying your vote, and not doing shenanigans behind the scene. Even if the code is open source, and everyone knew how to read code, you cannot reasonably guarantee that that is the software that is running inside the black box that is a voting machine.

With paper voting you can observe the entire process from start to finish. There are no black boxes which just spit out an answer that you simply have to trust.

In the Netherlands we had switched to electronic voting in the past, but we switched back to paper after some very serious security flaws were pointed out. These days there is some discussion on whether electronic counting of paper ballots should be allowed, but at least there is still a paper trail in that case and you could hypothetically double check everything by hand.

1000/300 sounds like coax to me. That is the exact theoretical speed Ziggo could deliver if they upgraded their network to DOCSIS 3.1… But ofc upgrading is expensive, so they don’t do it.

I’m with Odido myself. That is a rebrand of the Dutch branch of T-Mobile.
Quite happy with their service generally. The mechanics had no idea what they were doing when connecting everything up, but once it was working it all worked flawlessly.
