I ended up using a vertical monitor + Zotero for note taking (allows you to highlight text and write comments). My ereader is small enough to be convenient but too small to read papers well. My tablet, I hate writing on screens and it’s also too small
You could get creative with a premium account “A” where you can designate another person/account “B”(can be free account) with emergency access after a waiting period.
When B requests access it’ll send an email where A can approve/deny access immediately; or if you’re completely locked out, B will be granted access after the waiting period that you can set passes.
B can either be another person you trust, or it could just be a written backup that can be locked somewhere safe but not accessed on a daily basis.
If you want, after designation you can cancel premium and the emergency access will still be active, you just cannot add/edit who has access.
On windows, if you check the properties of the file, there’s a button to remove metadata.
On iPhone, if you go into your photos and drag a photo up, you can click “adjust” and remove or edit the location and time/date (it will still have camera data).
I did a test upload of an image I knew had location data and it appeared to be stripped when I viewed the post. That being said I’d like a definitive answer and I do agree with everyone saying, the only way to know for sure is to do it yourself.
Hottest was just under 54° (128.6°F) in Kuwait. I went for a run just to say I was the only person to go for a run in the hottest day in human history so far.
I think it got down to -29 (-20) in Albany NY one year but I’m looking for colder experiences soon.
The main reason to do it is when the manufacturer no longer releases security updates for the phone. Given the security history and the typical corporate attitude of caring little for the customer, I want to minimize the risk posed by not having a very out of date operating system.
Some manufacturers drop support after a few years. It’s usually less frequent than every year but if you were worried about spyware or someone getting all those weird pictures you have saved to your camera roll it could make sense to upgrade for peace of mind.
Wtf? Its a ridiculous BS situation that support is dropped so fast, but if you do anything remotely sensitive on your phone you should absolutely use a device receiving security support.
except even “short” support is two years, major companies like Samsung, Apple, and Google give 4+ years. The “gotta upgrade every year for security” is an excuse, not a reason.
Honestly just switch to a manufacturer that provides security updates for longer periods of time. My iPhone 5S, released nearly 10 years ago and is still getting them. Fairphone is another great example.
Instances running 18.2 should be fine, and as far as I understand it (with no dev qualifications to speak of, fwiw), these exploits only affected the local instance - they weren’t permeating through other instances viewing the exploits through Activitypub. That’s all to say, as long as your instance is running 18.2 or higher (the 18.2-rc’s should have in progress patches, as well), I believe you should be fine.
Every year no… Every two maybe, most stop receiving updates after the 2 years, except for some brands and maybe top models…
Nowadays it’s slightly better as usually there is a couple more years of security updates but that’s it.
Of course if there is scene and you can get some custom ROM like lineage or similar it is slightly better… But honestly most phones nowadays are locked down.
