My motherboard which is only a few years old (2ish?) has serial port pin outs.

Much better
At that age cpu it’s almost certainly a hard drive not ssd.
My guess is 1-2 days. 4gb RAM is going to thrash like hell
Thank you
What is the difference between type 1 & 2 please ?
Simless phones can make emergency calls because the towers are configured to accept a request for an emergency call to any device that handshakes sufficiently (in Europe and most of Asia anyway, I assume also true of USA because it does work).
The phone is able to contact the nearest tower and initiate a call because it scans for the nearest towers in the boot process in order to go to the next step (check sim details and connect to configured provider). In the process of determining available towers it provides the IMEI to each of them.
If you live in a country where you have to provide ID to buy a handset then this definitely isn’t anonymous, but even if you are in a country that doesnt, all the manufacturers track where every IMEI is shipped, and sku numbers on POS will easily allow determination of exactly when the device was sold. Even if you paid cash there will be CCTV footage of the purchase.
TL;DR this will work mostly until you make a mistake against corporate tracking but will absolutely not protect you from three-letter-acronyms and law enforcement.
Consider your threat model carefully before relying on it
It’s not unreasonable to be ignorant. Particularly about technology which most don’t understand
Lol. Yeah that was my reaction to the headline as well. “You did what ?”
Https://1ft.io also seems to work and by the branding seems unrelated to 12ft
While lvxferre’s instructions are the ideal, there’s a simpler option
Download the mullvad.deb file.
Doubleclick on it from your file manager and it should automatically instsll
Every time you start mullvad it will check if the version is current and prompt you (with a link to click on) to upgrade if it’s not.
Note that works on mint, should work on ubuntu unless they’ve disabled dpkg
You may wish to investigate Bedrock linux, it allows you to Frankenstein 2 (or more) distros together. I’m sure there’s a way you could have your KDE neon kernel plus BMC while having everything else Arch
Nope not locked. I have always on vpn (random countries) anti fingerprinting and DDG happily allows the search localisation to my actual or a different country
Doesnt this mean that you’re by default agreeing to the cookies though ? I’ve tested not responding to the pop up on several websites and they all write cookies if you don’t respond
So just like android ?
Naah there’s a nostalgia kick from a slackware install you don’t get from linux from scratch
From the article (did you read it ?)
"Many car manufacturers are selling car owners’ data to advertisers as a revenue boosting tactic, according to earlier reporting by Recorded Future News. "
So yeah at least some of them collecting it are then selling it
Clearly states in article owners can’t delete data collected
If “here” is the US, then yeah you do. There are insurers in UK, US and I believe most of western Europe who offer “discounted” insurance in return for fitting a tracking, logging device to the car.
Most common reason is running out of disk space. Boot from USB and have a check as to whether the update filled up the disk
