If you are on stock software on EOL device you are not getting os updates either.

Also a bunch of recent vulns were in SoC specific stuff - outside os.

No security fixes once the device reaches end of life. For pixel 4a end of security updates was 10 months ago. That mostly is a problem with malicious apps - there were some privilege escalation bugs in those 10 months - but sometimes you get a banger that can get exploited by simply loading a page or opening an image.

Something more like this https://a.co/d/0bgPCSvQ - it should use half the power, it’s way smaller, 2x SATA if you want 2 drives. I haven’t checked if this specific one is 12V, but there are dozens in the same form factor and with similar specs.

There are a lot of atom or mobile i3/i5 powered mini PCs that actually are powered with a 12v brick, in fact most of the industrial ones are. Small form factor, passive cooling, can play media for you and usually comes with 4x 1/2.5gbit Ethernet, so it can double as a router/switch. Usually 10-15w power draw.

Go to AliExpress and simply search for minipc and make sure it has a SATA connector for your hard drive.

It is an issue in Poland. Close to 30% of the population is at Sunday mass and even if priests were perfectly neutral (and they very much aren’t) simply people deciding “I’m already out, I might as well vote” does make an impact on the outcome. Every time liberals and socialists score an election win is after electorate mobilization that counters that.

BTW I agree that voting should happen on a statutory holiday, but it shouldn’t be one associated with a majority religion.

It skews the results towards christian-backed candidates - Sunday mass gets people out of their houses, clergy reminds them to vote and at least hints who they should vote for and they do on their way home.

I hate mosquitos enough to be willing to roll the dice on this one

• populism
• social media
• using religion for control and power
• mosquitoes
• unchecked corporate greed

Quick Google search confirms this: adaptive charging only works if alarm if 5am or later and charging starts at 10pm or later

Weird. My pixel 6a slow charges through the night at 0.5A

If you charge overnight set an alarm - most phones will automatically slow down charging to the safest rate that will get it to 100% before alarm

We talk briefly 2-3 times a year, see each other even less frequently, despite it being less than a two hour drive. Neither side is looking to change that despite us growing up together in a happy family and there being no reason for us to avoid each other. It could be that we all don’t value social interactions very highly in general.

I’ve put an ocean between myself and the US.

Budget (about 200 euro):

• Mikrotik hex s router
• TP-Link eap610 access point
• Unmanaged trendnet switch

Better(400-500 euro):

• Fanless minipc running pfsense - like this https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005515731536.html
• TP-Link eap653 access point
• mikrotik CRS310-8G+2S+IN switch

TP-Link omada line is basically a bunch of ubiquity clones at much lower price
