  • But they could each setup call forwarding to each other’s exchanged phone numbers so they would receive the right phone calls.

    Edit: No, wait, hold on. That sounds like I just created an infinite loop.
    Call to A gets forwarded to B which is set to forward it to A which will forward it to B which then forwards it to A…
    I only have 2 phone numbers, so I can’t test it.




  • IDE drives? We still have some XP-era computers at school. I have upgraded them to Windows 7 now (originally I was asked to do 10, but haha), but they’re not exactly usable. They barely do 1 tab in Firefox. And I am not surprised as they start at 512MB of RAM.
    But at least we got rid of the 32-bit machines last year.

    Something I remember from elementary school is desktop PCs locked by a key. To be honest, I miss that. I really like that concept as it can stop undetermined people from turning them on. Just like Kensington lock stops them from stealing/borrowing e.g. laptops.
    Oh, yeah, and “Turbo” is… ¿slower?










  • I just lost interest. I used to play PUBG Mobile for example, but now it’s basically transitioning into Fortnite-style game instead of something more realistic. I used to play CODM, but there’s so much paywalled crap to click through that it became less fun.

    And also, they kept getting larger, and larger. I think CODM may now be taking some 30-40GB. That’s a lot for a mobile game. I’ll rather use the storage for something else.

    For example, a few days ago I installed and set up a Navidrome server on my phone in Termux. Navidrome can’t do folder-based categorizing, so I had to play around with the actual metadata to achieve what I want, but I also didn’t want to alter the original files. So now I have duplicate music which means extra 19GB. That’s still less than even just CODM. And I have more fun with stuff like this.

    If I did have the extra storage… I’d use it for Wikipedia maxi package (110GB) and install kiwix-tools in termux to serve it.
    I really wish 1TB MicroSD cards were cheaper.

    Edit: Perhaps I could just delete the 110GB of DVD ISO files that I used exactly 0 times. Or just get at least a 512GB memory card instead of current 256GB. Yeah, probably that. I hate deleting files. But this can’t go on forever…
