Just can’t trust anyone these days…

And Android phones are also made by Microsoft’s competitor in many fields.

To me the bigger wtf is why Apple has an App store there, but Android do not.

Gosh that was a quick year! Thanks 😁

As much I like the EU, politicians are politicians …

Who needs trust when you have a monopoly.

He’s possibly the only reoccurring black character, and yes it is very much a product of its time.

In defense of the authors the Gauls are all depicted with large bulbous noses, the Romans with Roman noses, etc; all cariceturs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caricature.

In the attached image you can see Obelix is also depicted as a “knuckle dragger” (at times). The character leading them is a Roman.

This second example shows the Vikings.

It’s an old joke updated for new technology … that’s part of what makes it clever.

It references the original joke (albeit in very small text)

The Asterix books frequently did something similar. https://cloud.wordpress.com/2022/02/17/asterix-and-the-historical-interpretation/

Pi4 with Kodi installed supports HDMI-CEC (I can use my Samsung TV remote to control media player)

A combination of GPS, or even inertial based guidance to get them to the target area and then some simple vehicle / object identification, I’d think those are possible.

It’s EU regulations, they directly mention this. I don’t know how much of a say Disney would have over Apple considering both companies already have their own streaming platforms.

Pi4 with 2TB SSD running:

• Portainer
• Calibre
• qBittorrent
• Kodi

HDMI cable straight to the living room Smart TV (which is not connected to the internet).

Other devices access media (TV shows, movies, books, comics, audiobooks) using VLC DLNA. Except for e-readers which just use the Calibre web UI.

Main router is flashed with OpenWrt and running DNS adblocker. Ethernet running to 2nd router upstairs and to main PC. Small WiFi repeater with ethernet in the basement. It’s not a huge house, but it does have old thick walls which are terrible for WiFi propogation.

Apple iMessage… LoL

If they are able to patch the printer firmware they should be able to protect the printer from exploits introduced from the network, or the print cartridge.

It seems a bit of a lame excuse for poor workmanship on their behalf.

I’ve donated in the past and, thanks to the big baby, I think I’ll make a donation again

I didn’t do great. Dalli-3 is really good and I couldn’t spot anything obvious in most of the pictures.
