That’s why I thought ahead and stayed with the Pixel 5A, so that I would not get Android 15.

Doh!

The current funding level remaining is for 69 euros, 78 us dollars. Supposed to include shipping to anywhere in the world from Austria.

Clicking the link in the text works for me. Clicking the media for the post does not work for me.

If it wasn’t Facebook, I would have bought one already.

Really can’t trust their software if they flat out lie like that.

If you don’t know you don’t need to reply.

What’s the purpose of making fun of someone for asking a question to try to learn?

Yeah, it did get me to stop also a dual boot with Linux. I’m mostly Windows, so I’ve just used Linux in VMs.

What bugs has it made?

Sorry about the negativity from so many people.

You do what works for you.

Ouch!

I do get a billing error about every 2 or 3 years. Usually something like they double bill a month, or the price for just 1 month is suddenly 2x - 3x the normal price.

I’ve used them for probably 2 decades, getter in because of the $1/month for a year deal.

I think I’m on the top, or 2nd from the top, tier. Has unlimited disk space, but it’s not open access from the start. Every so many tens of GB you have to call to get the soft limit raised. They are trying to keep a bot from just filling the space up.

I use their hosted WordPress, so that they handle the upgrading.

I also have run a few wiki sites on there. Those install and run fine.

I wish I could figure out if I could install OwnCloud or such on there. I’m not great with Linux. You don’t have rights to the OS, but anything you access through a webpage or FTP you can put there. You should have access to chron jobs, but my skills aren’t there yet.

I mainly use them to host my own email domain, that I then access from gMail.

Biggest problem I’ve had with them is they will charge extra if you use a phased-out version of Python. So you have to make sure you keep anything using Python updated.

You’ll be forced to use only Windows forever.

Sorry about the rude responses from some people.

Exciting! Enjoy the upgrade!

They killed Clippy! Those bastards!

Think of all the Russian jobs spreading misinformation on Tik Tok that will be lost!

Better question: Will the world rejoice in having a social media network without Americans?

We could keep the 0 hour as the “middle” of the night and 12 being the “middle” of the day (though I’m not sure if that’s really the sun’s high spot for the day for any places).

But with fully controlled mirrors, we could make it exactly 12 hours, so we could just then switch to the 0 hour being when the sun comes up.

It’s pretty simple, actually. A village somewhere in Europe that is completely in the shade all day for part of the year has already proven it.

Mirrors.

We just need a ring of motorized mirrors around the Earth.

At hour 0, the mirrors will rotate to show sun all across the entire Earth.

At hour 12, the mirrors will rotate to put all of the Earth into night time.

That lets the entire Earth have the exact same synchronized time synchronized with the daylight.

The mirrors will block the sun from parts of the earth facing during the night.

The mirrors will constantly be rotating to keep the proper amount of sun light facing each part of Earth as the Earth rotates.

The mirrors will be solar powered.

This will fix it, right?
