Still using the buds I got with my galaxy S4. They’ve outlasted 4 sets of BT buds.

LoL… Really?

1 number apart, but considerably different. Sure.

Difference between x5 and x7 maybe. To pass x6 a device must be submerged to a depth of 1m for 30 minutes.

IPx7 is for a device intended to operate permanently submerged. So not a phone.

That fact your picking the difference shows you don’t know the difference.

IP67 is just a marketing gimmick. I’d be impressed if a phone with this rating would endure 12 months submerged and still function. Who needs this anyway?

Galaxy S5 was IP67 with a headphone socket, removable battery and dedicated microSD card slot. Others have also existed. Taking like adding a headphone socket costs more than 5 cents is stupid.

I’m a Bluetooth buds convert now, but I’d still like the choice.

And medical. Suppliers if CT, MRI and X-Ray gear are notorious for wanting to sell new gear and not providing software updates to work on new operating systems.

The same reason there are 98 characters in your message.

edit… Incase you were serious… how else would you represent less than 1%?

Was thinking the exact same thing. If I were Texas I’d put it the call for cheap buses that are save enough for the trip and just take them one way. This is a shit show, the people need help but it shouldn’t fall on one state.

At this point I’m limiting what I access and where. I’m targeting a more 1990’s internet experience. I love learning and technical stuff and would miss it if I went off grid, no matter how tempting that is.

I’m actually really trying to play devils advocate… But I’m struggling.

I came to get away from the main stream socials.

I came to minimise my farmed data footprint.

I came to find other like minded people.

These principals alone are shared by quite a few I guess.

If we end up hooked up to the machine we were trying to escape from then coming here was near pointless.

Something on par with iOS for usability and security. And as virtuous as everyone claims iOS and Apple are for security they really aren’t that great. It’s clear you’ve drunk the koolaid so I won’t waste my time further.

Yeah… Or it could be the complete opposite of all that.

Android / AOSP comes in many flavours from Swiss cheese give your life away security to locked down more than any apple device could be. IOS only comes in 1 flavour.

Well how else do you think navigation works?

Of course it’s going to need data.

Google gets away with it by streaming the data.

Smaller 3rd party mapping companies don’t have the infrastructure to do that so you download map packages.

That’s how it worked before navigation devices had always on internet connections.

220mb for a city it really quite efficient, I wouldn’t be complaining.

Wooooosh

? The term Necro was invented by my generation, and ment resurrecting 6 month or so old forum post.

We’re at a week here you angry little downvote magnet.

I suggest it might be you that needs the fresh air… I’ve clearly been away for a week having my share.

You didn’t address anything I said, so my point stands un argued.

How’s this for a fact. Not everyone aware MFF is known colloquially by some to refer to gender of participants in a sexual context. Non cowardly downvote to you for being an antagonistic ass.

Hence why they have transmissions that ensure they’re in a favourable RPM range at all times.

That’s true, but also dumb at the same time.

The benefit of reduced drag applies regardless of mode of propulsion.

So really, it’s complexity for complexity sake.

Shut up and take my money.

It literally is not designed for that purpose.

Sure it can do that, and I’ll agree it is quite an efficient tool for killing… But saying it was designed for that is plain hyperbole.

The rifle in question in this thread is a civilian sporting rifle and lacks the the more rapid firing modes.

You be like one of those people “Look, is in the name, ‘Assault Rifle model 15’”.

Sweden had mandatory conscription from 1901 through to the cold war. About 85% of men were conscripted.

The situation had changed more recently to a national service system.

All those who do combat or combat related service are issued an AK 4 (Swedish production of the H&K G3) rifle, or the more modern AK 5 based on the Belgian FN FNC.

Both of these are far superior ‘killing machines’ than a semi auto AR-15. The newer AR5 will even run the same magazines as the AR15,

On completion of service the option is given to keep the rifle.

The government provides ammunition and access to training facilities so as people can remain proficient with their rifle.

More recently the keeping of ammunition at home has been banned but there is no doubt already millions of rounds in the wild. This law has preparations to be lifted rapidly if required for an emerging security crisis.

Their new national service system now provides options for logistics and medical for those that don’t want to pickup a firearm. Pretty good idea I think.

Clearly a different mentality and different state of national mental health in Sweden.
