I remember doing work experience at school in the computer lab. Thought I was gonna learn fun stuff on the servers, ended up cleaning gunk from the rollers if every mouse in the entire school (And cleaning every PC out, and flashing entire labs one by one with updates OS...)

And from my reading, helps secure against a situation where an police officer (AKA attacker in the US apparently..) coerces you to unlock the phone (or perhaps even just takes it off you in a locked, but active state), and stores it in a faraday bag with a charger. They do that to keep it 'alive' so their experts can break in - a dead-mans reboot can help circumvent even that (as it will just reboot and restore itself to an encrypted rest state, which is much harder to attack)

Yeah, seems like its a move to follow apple after custom ROMS offering it as a security feature (Im on GrapheneOS and had it set for a while)

Thanks for the clarification, I forgot that (somehow)

After a reboot all the data is encrypted and needs a pin/~~fingerprint~~ to unlock. So if it's stolen (or feds get it) a planned reboot resets it to a highly secure state that is much more difficult to hack into than when it's just locked from timeout. Edit: removed fingerprint, corrected below.

I have a plan at $job that will reduce our CO2 emissions a year by ~330 tonnes.

Almost makes you wonder why bother sometimes

Very exhausting, especially when your stupid brain makes you roleplay possible future conversations with people in your head all day. Difficult to focus and so exhausting

Ongoing case here in Australia with a lady accused of murdering her ex and ex-inlaws. Invites them to lunch of beef Wellington and death cap mushrooms.

3 died fairly awful deaths in the following days/weeks, 1 survived after intensive care.

Accused of trying to murder the ex 4 prior times too.

The "Mushroom lady" case absolutely captivated us for weeks

I run ollama and auto1111 on my desktop when it's powers on. Using open-webui in my homelab always on, and also connected to openrouter. This way I can always use openwebui with openrouter models and it's pretty cheap per query and a little more private that using a big tech chatbot. And if I want local, I turn on the desktop and have local lamma and stab diff.

I also get bugger all benefit out of it., it's a cute toy.
