Deepl [0] is available in English but doesn't seem well-known outside of the non-Anglophone Western European countries. It's essentially Google Translate but generally has better quality translations for the languages…
I'd go even further and recommend GrapheneOS [0] on a Pixel. It has some extra security improvements on top of AOSP and most importantly, the builds are signed and the device can be locked after you install the ROM.…
Doesn't the same argument apply to basically every security and privacy feature? "No no no. The problem isn't unencrypted network connections, it's companies and people who use them in evil ways. I would rather handle…
Sure, it can be simple. To give you a less clear example, think about writing a library that sends telemetry to some cloud service. The telemetry could be readings from a sensor attached to a microcontroller with 512K…
I watch a lot of both American-made movies and TV shows as well as a lot of Japanese anime. One thing I find curious is how different the models for time travel usually are. In American media, it seems more often than…
I disagree. I've been running a small CNC for a while now and though I've had skipped steps, they've never been the cause of a failure. When they've failed, it's been because: - I stalled the spindle and I'm trying to…
This is a really good starting place but as someone in the middle of retrofitting a commercial CNC, it's missing _a lot_ as well. My highlights while reading: - For an Aluminium frame, you could also use solid Aluminium…

Why would they pay the owner for "seizure of property"? The owner of the bird is responsible for the bird. Therefore, the owner is responsible for the bird illegally entering Australia in violation of local customs…

Any CO2 sensor (part) that gives you the ability to turn off ASC should work just fine and most of them do, you just need to trigger it. Personally, after trying out a bunch of sensors, I use the Sensirion SCD30. As for…
I've seen references to this sensor before and find it a bit concerning that there's no information about how to properly use the CO2 sensor. This sensor uses a SenseAir S8, which like most CO2 sensors, has an automatic…

No, I don't use Magisk because my phone isn't rooted. Google Pay won't work even if SafetyNet passes because it depends on Google Play Services APIs that aren't implemented as part opf MicroG. I haven't had any issues…
I'm not German so don't use it often but I installed it, ran it and had a quick look around and nothing was noticably broken. For me, Mapbox is used to display the map.
Yes, I have a bunch of Apple devices as well. I find that iOS itself and its first-party apps are fantastic from a privacy perspective, especially compared to Google. Most of the apps I mentioned using on Android have…
I've been using a custom AOSP build with MicroG for a few months now and it actually works pretty well _if your goal is to avoid Google_. What I mean by that is that if your goal is to use Android Pay, Chrome, Gmail,…
The vast majority of the things there are things that few people interested in MicroG would want. The important things (accounts, notifications, maps, SafetyNet) are there and mostly working.
