You don’t have to spoof everything. If you setup a wireguard server on your router then, then VPN into that then you’ll be on the actual network and Netflix cannot tell the difference.

Netflix has come out and said they don’t use GPS. I cannot authoritatively say they don’t traceroute or use other signals, but the wireguard tunnel works so you can only assume they do not.

I strongly disagree with this comment. I’ll answer your numbered points from the original post one by one with my perspective:

1. Development would happen completely in the open, since its community driven
2. A community android fork wouldn’t directly solve the issue of manufacturer locked bootloaders, but neither would Linux mobile
3. I originally messed up on this bullet point, but this is the correction - the play integrity API would be unusable on both community driven Android and Linux mobile
4. Developer verification will not apply to devices running an OS that isn’t Google certified, which a community maintained android fork would not be

Do you disagree with any of these? Would love to hear your thoughts

Can you help me understand why Linux phones are the answer rather than a community maintained android fork?

Android is already fully featured and has a solid ecosystem so it’s usable now, not in 5-10 years with less of a need for adjustment for the people who want to switch.

Basically, why take several steps backwards and start from scratch?

Yes it works. It really is that simple!

A decent camera only vision system should still be able to detect the wall. I was actually shocked at the fact that Tesla failed this test so egregiously.

If you use two side by side cameras you can determine distance to a feature by calculating the offset in position of the feature between the two camera images. I had always assumed this was how Tesla planned to achieve camera only FSD, but that would make too much sense.

Even if they wanted to avoid any redundant hardware and only go with one camera for each direction, there is still a chance they could’ve avoided this kind of issue if they used structure through motion, but that’s much harder to do if the objects could be moving.

Reminds me of the beginning of the pandemic when he tried to dismiss the initial uptick in covid cases as a migrant worker problem.

When the state responsible for the genocide is reliant on our military aid its disingenuous to refer to it as a “genocide on the other side of the planet”

I would also say it could be manslaughter if the stress from the retaliation from whistleblowing caused him to kill himself

I’ve thought about it. It’s a lot harder to pull off when rent is $1500 a month.

Good point. I guess that depends on a quality over quantity promise, which I guess would also fit op’s idea.

That would make business side incentives more aligned with the user side, but I could never see anything with a high barrier of entry accumulating enough users to actually be usable.

Maybe its free at first and as it grows in size and activity the cost goes up? That feels kinda sketchy

I see this more as a tool for people who notice reduced battery life and want to do something about it. Currently they essentially need to guess if the battery is the issue and get it replaced to find out.

If you notice your battery life shortening, the health check can either confirm that you will see improvement with a new battery, or it will tell you your battery is okay, and reduced life is due to software changes or increased usage.

Yes, the stock market did so much better under Trump. There are many many reasons underlying the performance of the market under each of them.

For example most of the time trump was president was pre pandemic, but Biden was president through most of the pandemic. Trump was also president during the pandemic stimulus and enhanced unemployment payments, then Biden was president when all of that spending materialized into inflation which spooked the markets, and then caused interest rates to rise, prompting the tech layoffs
