This is a learned response. Once bitten, twice shy.

These days it's more likely a Facebook post that hurt their govt's fee-fees or a torrent of a shitty TV show

I recycle ewaste, and so I have boxes and boxes of old hard drives. My proc is single pass dban and then a 10mm hole drilled through the case and onto the platters.

This is for normal business eol hardware that I get from offices and warehouses, nothing sketchy.

If the client wants evidence of destruction before leaving premises, I skip DBAN and just drill the platters with a cordless drill.

As much as I hate to say it, law enforcement are people too. Not good people, but people.

Nobody should have to do a job that injured them, physically or mentally.

Same reason that shit on TV is five easy payments of 29.95.

I'm willing g to spend $29. I'll even spend $29 five times. But not $150.

What gender are you when you're sleeping alone in bed with nobody to warn you that you just slept through your alarm and are about to be catastrophically late for work?

Not being a pedo is so woke

 

Uninstalled within seconds. I'm trialling Hyperion launcher now, which seems pretty crisp.

I played the shit out of this game for a year or so before it just completely died. I came across a post about it earlier today that reminded me how great it was. I miss it a lot. Relatively slow moving, strategic, 3D space arena teamed CTF, I made some great friends playing that game.

 
 

Armor 27T Pro has great hardware and pretty amazing battery life, if you can deal with the absurd weight of the device. However, the software operating system and system apps have made the phone unusable for me in just a few months.

After months of trying to get this Ulefone Armor 27T pro working properly, it has some major drawbacks that have made me switch to a different phone.

I use Signal, Textra, Whatsapp, Telegram, Instagram and Gaia GPS regularly, and these all have issues.

For Textra, if the app hasn't been started lately, text message simply do not arrive at the phone. They end up in a black hole somewhere. Open textra and look at it, and send a text to it, and it works fine. Close textra for a few hours, and send a text, it never arrives, even after reopening the app.

Likewise with Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram, Instagram, after sitting idle for a few hours, you can send a message to them, and there will be no notification. Only after you check the app will it poll for undelivered messages and then notify you.

With Gaia GPS, It'll work fine for 20 minutes of a trail run, then stop working. When I reopen Gaia GPS to check or to finish my run, it will have continued to count the time taken, but the GPS will have stopped working, and the mapline will instantly teleport from where it stopped working to where I am now.

Now, I have spent months on forums, youtube videos, and discussing it with app publishers, but no amount of editing battery optimization settings, enabling or disabling apps in duraspeed, or just all-out disabling a raft of system apps, (Including com.pri.screenoff.killer) has resolved these issues Here are the list of bloatware and pest apps that I've disabled or uninstalled:

Uninstalled:

There are a few other annoying things about the software, but they would be ok if I wasn't losing basic app functionality, and especially text messages disappearing into the aether.

I've bought an alternative phone, and I'll probably keep the Ulefone and use it only for its thermal camera, endoscope and microscope, maybe as a hammer too, but its not usable in daily life.

At this point, despite the hardware being pretty impressive, and the price being reasonable, I must strongly recommend against buying a Ulefone device.
