This works now, but good luck in 10 years time when the radio chip requires a digital signature from the host OS signed by google or apple and your current phone is deprecated by 6g or whatever.
I remember, when DVD players were required to show mandatory, non-skippable sections of video, chinese players violated the standards and international agreements and allowed skipping those sections, and they also sometimes illegally ignored regional restrictions.
I think times were different back then. Modern times are more like China selling Playstation 5’s with mod shops: to my knowledge, they currently don’t. Even if it ever becomes a thing the PS6 is only a few years away and will be even harder to break.
I mean, the actual implementation will be that CCP signs Google DragonFly Global Root CA cert, and Apple runs Google signed firmware, but those are just minor implementation details.
Mobile hotspot with a wireguard tunnel wrapping all traffic. Different RF bands (e.g. Starlink). Unauthorized private autonomous mesh networks. I don't care how hard they make it. I am never going to stop uncompromisingly exercising my right to absolute control over hardware I bought and paid for.
It sounds like you’re feeling down. Why don’t you pop a couple Xanax(tm) and shop on Amazon for a while, that always makes you feel better. Would you like me to add some Xanax(tm) to your shopping cart to help you get started?
Set an alarm on your phone for when you should take your meds. Snooze if you must, but don't turn off /accept the alarm until you take them.
Put daily meds in cheap plastic pillbox container labelled Sunday-Saturday (which you refill weekly). The box will help you notice if you skipped a day or can't remember if you took them or not today. Seeing pills not taken from past days also serves to alert you if/that your "remember-to-take-them" system is broken and you need to make conscious adjustmemts to it.
That’s an extreme example where it’s clear to the vast majority of people asking the question that they probably do not have the means to make one. I think it’s more likely that real world actions come out of the question ‘how do I approach my neighbour about their barking dogs’ at a far higher rate. Suicide is somewhere between the two, but probably closer to the latter than the former.
I didn’t get the joke but I think it could be interpreted as the poster pointing out that commit is used in other places too, so it could be interpreted in two ways legitimately and sometimes sarcasm doesn’t convey in line. I like the joke now that I see it, assuming it WAS a joke.
In theory this is nice assuming you push the opening hours back but the cost of it would be significantly more than the developer time wasted by a mile.
Binding times to timezones to geographic locations (which have different sunrise and sunset times) to opening hours to social stigmas (you wake up after 11am? Tisk tisk) is downright silly, but humans don’t like change so fixing it will never happen.
There’s no way to know for sure, since they are closed-source and closed-hardware implementations. But they are backed by billion-dollar companies that lawyers can squeeze if they cause some sort of legally cognizable injury.
