My employer gives everyone in management a cell phone. At least once a quarter someone from management has to travel across the border to do site visits and the like. Most people will only carry the work phone when traveling because of CBP and TSA inspections.

This is why I switched to sceptre, they're good quality, low cost, dumb displays.

So either the EU steps up and funds them until the administration tariffs the EU until they stop.

Or we rely on the big tech companies to step up and fund them and risk pissing off the administration.

Honestly the only way I see them coming back is either up root their lives and move to the EU with a funding guarantee, or the EU just sets up their own program.

I imagine it will cause at least a one day delay in SpinRite.

I listen to SN while at work. I may take next Tuesday night off and grab a big bag of popcorn.

Yep. Well unless you want to try some new thing that's not in the repo, then it's sudo apt-get for the win.

I tried a variety of distros when I made the switch 9 or 10 years ago, Mint is by far my favorite. I've been running it continuously for at least the last 8 years.

Battle plans you use Signal, war plans your going to want Threema, Session, or SimpleX.

Yep, I've got a buddy in another country that I needed to share a group of files with, it was several gigs and we were both editing things.

We setup a syncthing connection and once we were synced it just worked. I also use it on my LAN to sync personal files, but to share with him we both just set up a folder and I just shared that one folder with him while the rest of my shares stayed private on the LAN.

Syncthing is amazing.

Not with that attitude you can't.
