  • I don’t think you can since it’s an encrypted file system, deletions are more permanent.

    As others have said, always duplicate data elsewhere.

    My phone continuously syncs important data to my computer at home using Syncthing-Fork (on Android), SyncTrayzor (Windows) and Syncthing (Linux).

    My photos show up at home in seconds, regardless of where I am, so long as I have a connection.

    My data at home has it’s own backup process, so my phone data is included in that.








  • Wow, Jellyfin on the Tizen store is huge.

    I’ve been running it on my Samsung - getting it installed (“side loaded”, uggh, hate that term) isn’t for the faint-hearted. Hell, I had to document it with photos of the TV to ensure I could do it again.

    Not that I like installing apps from Samsung’s app store, I really don’t want to use any of the smart features on the TV, it was just the easiest oath forward at the moment.







  • You can’t pay to not lose your license, that’s not how it works at all.

    You should go sit in criminal court for a day.

    The reality is many jurisdictions just don’t enforce such things very well - there are many cases around the country of people getting their 3rd, 4th, 5th DUI and not losing their license or worse as the law is defined.

    And those are often as not, not “rich people”.

    Frankly judges see so much worse crime in their courts constantly that I think they’re hesistant to jail someone who is a mostly functional member of society compared to 90% of everyone else coming through their court.

    Then there’s also the plea-bargaining process: prosecuting attorneys are directed to plea-bargain pretty much all cases to expedite the case load - courts are largely overwhelmed. I’ve seen guys in chains accused of multiple violent assault felonies (like assaulted multiple people in one go) plea bargain down to a fucking misdemeanor.

    Again, go sit in criminal court for a day and you’ll see what I mean - it’s eye opening.



  • But it would be offset by the massive and recurring income from installing and maintaining the devices by a third party.

    Let’s see who the companies providing these services are owned by.

    Like when ticket cameras in vans became a thing 25 years ago: 80% of the “ticket” went to the camera van company. I say “ticket” because in many US jurisdictions only a police officer can issue a ticket, so these were unenforceable as tickets.

    States had to update their laws to add “civil fees” as a thing just for such cameras.


  • It does way more than that.

    I have it write scripts in 30 seconds that would take me 2 days to write and verify.

    I can quickly parse through what it writes (takes me about a minute) to verify it hasn’t done anything wonky, then test it in a VM I use for testing my own scripts.

    It does this because the question I ask is very clear and explicit: exact script language/version, exact input, exact output, how the script should flow, what commenting should look like. It takes me about 1 minute to write a good question like this.

    I’ve setup Projects in it with specific rules so I don’t have to state those rules every time - I have one for each scripting language. I’ve saved that definition so when I update the rules I have a local definition for reuse or share with my peers.

    For informational searches I have it provide source links automatically - I have a lot of general knowledge so whenever it produces something that doesn’t sit right I will steelman the information. It’s surprising what it can come up with this way.

    My friends say “you like to argue with it” - well sometimes arguing is necessary.

    Haha, downvoters. What a joke.
