And they are going to know the differences between my flagship loaded with creds and the base model i just bought and loaded just the travel apps? I didn't say don't bring anything, I said don't bring anything with real access.

I don't care about privacy more than I care about having my gear confiscated and it taking months to return should they decide to make me thier day.

if I was travelling abroad I would not be bringing anything that has universal access to my accounts or data (primary phone for example). I would most likely get a new device loaded only with what I needed to get things done using a new account I transferred money into. For the most part I would not expect any issues but the laws at most borders, even US international borders generally say they can clean you out of all your data and force you to log into any devices you have with you. So the 2 countries mentioned are only part of the story when it comes to privacy when travelling international.

plenty of content on my screen, I do admit Im posting less everywhere right now while hunting for a job.

its spreading quickly, like butt bacteria.

switching to a khadas vim4 myself.

should be fine, if you don't like how warm it gets a set of small heatsinks for amplifiers will run you a few bucks and takes all of 10 seconds to install.

i like both the argon and the simple heatsink setups, either work great. i did end up adding an additional heatsink to the argon, the flat case does not provide great heat exchange in an enclosed space.

you can do passive cooling as well, just all depends on how hot the location gets.

why do this to yourself?

this one changes entirely depending on if you know what the image is from or not.

as time goes on i think techs that mark human made content will be more practical.

the only reason that read as "off" is because the poster did not put any time into it, prob just a simple question in a default chat somewhere. well made systems tuned to thier use are going to be surprisingly effective.

i think it may have been. might as well, even if you put in time writing its likely to be assumed AI anyway, esp as it improves.

fired up my IRC client a few weeks ago, very quiet there but still running! what servers are worth joining these days?

also worth noting that Element is built with similar ideals to IRC but with E2EE included.

Also important to remember that IRC has some privacy issues that you may want to address before connecting as any IRC user can get your connecting IP and ISP info.
