Pretty much everything they did was good

Perhaps try something like these instructions to access the phone's filesystem using adb. https://askai.glarity.app/search/How-can-I-access-the-file-system-of-an-Android-device-using-ADB The problem then is to try to figure out where it's...

All you need to see is, that there is no direct connection between the battery, or the charger and USB. So, USB does not know, what state the battery is. That's done over the fuel gauge and the motherboards power management IC which state...

From the klingon rules of coding: "Maybe this is a good day to die, I say we ship it!"

We all know such places, don't we? I just ordered some of the coffee mugs, leaving them in the office kitchen and waiting for feedback... Edit: Missing (c): Shit & Sticks Solutions: (c) by Moris Snake

I always loved this song a lot, from time to time it comes in my mind

It does. I am not aware of any normal fonts that do that

Obligatory Nutshell: See here. Last second again.

Ok so no user checkbox somewhere. I remember reading about the security implications of downloading fonts back in the day but I don't recall anything. I'm sure I have a doc somewhere about it.

Firefox has gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled; uBlock Origin has a checkbox: And button on extension icon (needed to click More once):

You can, but some sites refuse to load if you block remote fonts. Just for testing, block fonts.google.com and watch how many sites refuse to load.

That would be stupid on their part. How does one block it in the browser?

Disabling it in the past broke too many button icons on various sites (even 2 I host :p)

Im with you.

I wish I understood any of that!

Can that be blocked? I don't recall.

I give up

freethread You can do that but people will still complain. Also it's an extra download and if the font supplier isn't available there's that problem.

The irony here is that this is a screen from an old ASUS R517SA which is Intel based (N3700) and the Amiga emulator will not show the old classic background that says "Intel Outside" no matter how I try to make it ...... Thanks to Zare for Amiga...

I suggest to load them directly in the CSS of the website page so people stop to complain. Google has tons of fonts to link, for example 'Google Sans': <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com"><link rel="preconnect"...

As I show in #43, the forum developer or FreeBSD admin put their order of preferences of font display. This order is in the CSS supplied with the HTML. The first one that the system has is the first one that will be displayed except in your case...

Charging is done by an electronic circuit that controls and adjusts voltage, current and terminates the charging, when the battery is full. Those circuits are part of any charger (not to be confused with power supply units, even if in many cases...

I didn't encrypt it consciously, just leaving the defaults.

Google says 4-core ARM Cortex-A35 while Amlogic is the entire SoC brand. So the chipset that surrounds the CPU rules out FreeBSD by specific undocumented architecture outside the processor? What are the demands of a kernel running on this...

Web browsers should be requesting generic names (monospace, serif, sans-serif) which will allow the OS to decide and keep things consistent. Some poor quality sites will specify 90s Windows fonts, in which case just make sure the Microsoft...

A browser will use whatever system font is installed if nothing else is available or if the site selects a font that isn't available on the system. I forgot what this forum selects. iirc, it was one of four including Helvetica. I'll look. "Segoe...

It would still be great to know which pkg contained the font needed for the forum. I don't know what kind of size we are talking here. For all I know it is just single fonts worth kilobytes.

Uh? Not everybody who starts Firefox has KDE up. I wonder what the Chromium situation is. They probably drag their own fonts around?

There are charge-only USB cables that you can buy (and that are sometimes included in device sales). You can also buy cables with a switch that always charge but let data through only when you use the switch. That's a security feature in case you...

No. The suggestion is to install the font in question as a dependency of Firedfox.

That only works if it isn't encrypted. Do you know whether disk encryption was turned on?

Other images; cd1, (mini)-memstick, bootonly, don't contain packages. You can pick packages to install at some point in the installer, but as far as I know those come from the default repositories ('quarterly' on -RELEASE and 'latest' on -STABLE...

SirDice is probably referring to the internal wiring of the cable. A typical USB cable has 4 wires: 1 power, 1 ground and 2 data. Some rare ones only have data wires. Some only have positive and ground wires; they only charge and can't transfer...

How could I determine if FreeBSD could be installed on some device? It currently uses Android but am unsure of the actual processor. How would I find out? Is there an app I could get from the Play Store which would tell me? There is no 'About...

I always use the system fonts because then I know 80 characters on a line is 80 characters. Other fonts may be wider and overflow.

All math, at its core, boils down to adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. In fact, even multiplying and dividing is just shortcut adding and subtracting.

80% of those fonts are unusable. At least for the web I wouldn't use them. Some are pretty good but they've been known for a long time and gotten from the original source.

Yeah, but there are always people that will complain that they need "easy way to install desktop". Look at the Arch linux for example. Its user base has grown significantly since they included installer. Then you have people that used that...

In conclusion to this thread, what seem to be the available options to me are to recover via ADB, or solder out the flash storage and try to connect it somewhere and read it. Given that on bootup, you can only the volume and power buttons to do...

Linux distros are going into that direction and they are almost there. For example, Installing Linux Mint is easier than installing Windows 11 which is insane. Its all about ego stroking. And its not happening in linux world only. Just look at...

Indeed. If only there were multiple operating systems available for people to choose from that would suit their abilities. Oh wait.... ;) I do find it quite funny that so many beginners and students immediately gravitate straight to ArchLinux...
