I love technology news but not the hype

The new Android virtualization (AVF) is a powerful tool to close the gap between the digital divide. Equip a mid-range Android smartphone with ChromeOS or Linux vm and boom, the people in the developing countries have a PC in their pocket. Google's proof-of-concept makes sense.

@FabrizioRomano If he doesn't have fun, he would fail to win any, I guess.

@RpsAgainstTrump He should get the Nobel Price for media skills for creating headlines for the media everyday. But nothing else.

@PenPizzaReport This is great. The intel can smuggle trackers and listening devices through pizza boxes

Hi @Logitech I have a suggestion for the the Keys-To-Go 2 cover. Please turn it into a foldable one like the iPad smart folio case, so it can be a smartphone and tablet holder at the same time. Thanks.

BTW magic happened. Short after I sent the Twitt above, ebay issued a refund. Thanks.

[Sirus Laia @sslaia]

I tried to get rid of my Amazon addiction and used @eBay_UK Immediately had bad experience. I mistakenly placed an order for iPad Pro case, while I had iPad Mini. It says too late, although I cancelled it immediately after placing the order. This would be seamless on Amazon.

@williamnhutton I doubt any of this would change the mind of anti lock-down and anti vaxxers. They aren't guided by hard data, but by conspiracy theories about government taking opportunity to control people, about predatory big pharm making profits out vaccine, etc.

@JDJ_901 That was exactly my thought when the outcome of the election was clear. Well done to them. They must have been prepared for the rude awakening...

@itsfoss My top criteria are it should simply work on my machine and it looks beautiful. Ubuntu is the only one that simply works on my PC. And it's the beautiful. Ubuntu's font rendering is even smoother than Windows.

@Wikimedia Congratulation. Behind those 100.000 articles are volunteers, who loves culture and knowledge and dedicated endless hours of their time to preserve their culture and knowledge. 👏

[Sirus Laia @sslaia]

@tonyannett But at that time there were no AI robots that can write better targeted messages.

[Sirus Laia @sslaia]

@itsfoss I have been distro hopping a few times. My only wish is a distro as fast and as beautiful as the ChromeOS. Until that happens I'll stay with Ubuntu.

“You don’t see women building skyscrapers”

Well done America!

In more than 1,000 phone calls billionaires tax was mentioned only once and Gaza only 6 times.

Interesting insight into the voters mind as told by a phone bank volunteer.

@rpollittsj They have lost their prophetic function.

Since 2020, @wikimediaid has facilitated access to knowledge for Wikimedia contributors in Indonesia through a book grant program. From 2023 to 2024, we recorded 107 grantees who participated in creating and developing 771 Wikipedia articles. Read more: https://t.co/XXOOVASqhV

"The Aigostar and Xiaomi fryers then both sent people's personal data to servers in China and the Xiaomi app connected to trackers from Facebook and TikTok."

Hmmm...

@lenovo_UKI In Legion Tab Lenovo has created a powerful but affordable device. A Chromebook version of it would turn it into a productivity machine, when connecting to an external monitor, keyboard and mouse, while it still stays as a poweful Android gaming machine 🙏

@FabrizioRomano The loss must have been so deep, that he's still thinking of it while talking about the flood.

[Sirus Laia @sslaia]

@atrupar One word from a non-American:

America, please Don't Make America Laughable Again!

Until 4 years ago America was a laughing stock in the world (at least here in Europe where I live). Not anymore. So the decision is yours whether you want us to laugh at you again.

[Sirus Laia @sslaia]

@itsfoss This kind of software is based on trust. Probably it's the best to get rid of contributors you don't trust. Is better safe than late
