Yeah.

There’s waaay worse things you can catch.

Because I’m not concerned that the google hardware constitutes a security risk.

It’s trivial to monitor packets a device is sending over the network, the Graphene team would absolutely be on top of this.

Yeah this is me. It’s been just perfect for many years now.

Nah. If it’s a choice between GrapheneOS on a pixel or an iPhone I’d take my chances with the pixel.

It would be pretty easy to detect if there was unexpected traffic with any google services.

You do you but IMO Graphene is your best chance in 2025.

On a phone ?

What’s the alternative?

Yeah well, it wasn’t intended to be all positive.

I migrated all my stuff (small business) to mxroute because I couldn’t justify the cost for fasmtail.

It’s the server that matters, not the domain.

If you do this it’s good to use something like mxroute as an SMTP server so deliverability is their problem.

Can I ask what client you prefer?

I dislike thunderbird and roundcube.

I was with fastmail for more than a decade.

They’re the best platform.

Their spam protection is so-so. Not as good as Gmail but better than some others.

Their pricing is egregiously expensive.

Their tech support is painfully slow for anything above chatGPT level.

Click the column header to select the column, then click and drag the selected cells to wherever you want.

Note that dragging cells in this way is the same as copy & paste, so it will not insert the column at your destination and move the existing columns along, it will leave a gap where you dragged it from and overwrite the column wherever you leave it.

My explanation is better:

There’s three doors, of which one is the winner.

First, pick a door to exclude. You have a 66% chance of correctly excluding a non-winning door.

Next, Monty excludes a non- winning door with certainty.

Finally, open the remaining door and take the prize!

This is a common argument in our house.

Hah! Me too, exactly this.

The steam condenses into vapour when it comes into contact with the ceiling, walls, and windows.

Steam is not humidity.

Ok Mr Snarky pants…

Where do you think it goes?

I’m not an expert on thermodynamics, but we do have a humidifier.

My laypersons understanding is that it works by booking water to steam and kinda hoping some of the steam is absorbed by the air to become humidity, rather than condensing to water vapour as it cools.

It tries to maximise the humidity by having this internal chamber to mix steam with air and catch condensation but of course some steam escapes.

That I’d to say, I think it’s possible for some humidifiers to produce more humidity with less water given that inefficient humidifiers produce more steam as a waste product.

It’s not so much about profiting from the situation but maximising your options.

You don’t want to cash in your 401k and buy gold, but if you have some investments then buying physical gold with 5% or 10% is not a terrible idea.

In a holocaust type situation an ounce of gold in the right palm at the right time could buy passage for an entire family.

We may not have the gold standard anymore but I can assure you that gold remains a stable store of wealth.

It’s also not going to be easier to buy.

Banks are much more reluctant to loan, jobs are harder to keep.
