Unfortunately, it’s not a useful one. While we know approximately where it is, we don’t know how deep the gravity well is. That gravity well slows the passage of time, just like the earth does. Without an exact mass, and mass density, we can’t calculate the correction factor.

It’s not too bad. Relativity says that no frame of reference is special.

• On earth, a second looks like a second, but a second on the moon looks too quick.

• On the moon, the second looks like a second, but a second on earth looks too slow.

Both are actually correct. The simplest solution is to declare 1 to be the base reference. In this case, the earth second. Any lunar colonies will just have to accept that their second is slightly longer than they think it should be.

If it helps, the difference is tiny. A second is 6.5x10^-10 seconds longer. This works out to 56 microseconds per 24 hours. It won’t affect much for a long time. About the only thing affected would be a lunar GPS.

An encryption scheme is only as strong as its weakest link. In academic terms, only the algorithm really matters. In the real world however, implementation is as important.

The human element is an element that has to be considered. Rubber hose cryptanalysis is a tongue and cheek way of acknowledging that. It also matters since some algorithms are better at assisting here. E.g. 1 time key Vs passwords.

The purpose is to access the data. This is a bypass attack, rather than a mathematical one. It helps to remember that encryption is rarely used in the abstract. It is used as part of real world security.

There are actually methods to defend against it. The most effective is a “duress key”. This is the key you give up under duress. It will decrypt an alternative version of the file/drive, as well as potentially triggering additional safeguards. The key point is the attacker won’t know if they have the real files, and there is nothing of interest, or dummy ones.

The upload is likely more of an issue. I was stuck with an annoying ASDL setup for a while. Download wasn’t bad, but upload was extremely low. It also had no form of traffic shaping. As soon as one of our phones decided to back up our photos, the TCP return packets started getting lagged out. Basically webpages wouldn’t load/timeout while anything was trying to upload.

Long pings are annoying. Insufficient upload can break a lot of ‘modern’ websites.

You can, but there’s enough plastic to make it non-trivial, particularly if you don’t want to risk destroying the cap.

They definitely mess with your muscle memory, both when opening it, and drinking from it.

The slowness we can deal with, it’s the 16Gb storage that’s the killer.

I’m familiar with android and it’s ecosystem, as is my daughter. I’ve a personal dislike of apple, so would rather not have to deal with their systems.

As for her current tablet, it’s still working remarkably well. Unfortunately, 16Gb of storage is extremely limiting, when it comes to installing modern apps. I don’t think LineageOS will help much with a lack of physical memory, and modern software bloat.

My daughter is currently 4, the steam deck is far too advanced for her to use reliably, and far too easy to damage. As it stands her current tablet is in a thick foam case, that makes it almost indestructible to normal damage. It’s also old enough that I wouldn’t be too upset if she decided to try and colour in on it, using Sharpies or snapped it in 2.

I’m also limiting to android because that’s what I’m most familiar with, and so is she. I’ve no interest in learning the apple ecosystem, with it’s lock in effect.

She is currently learning to read, so I need to stay ahead of her regarding cyber security and information access. Unfortunately the current tablet is so restricted on memory that I can’t install any parental control apps. I had to strip the cache from most of the less used apps, just to free up enough space to install a battery health monitoring app (accubattery).

My hope is the next tablet will do until she’s old enough to have a phone herself. At the same time, I’d rather not throw huge amounts of money at it. It’s still a tablet for a preteen, and so could get broken very easily.

That does look like a promising option. It’s one I hadn’t run across too.

6" screen is likely too small. Her current 10" seems to be the right balance for us. I also suspect a 5 year old design will soon have the same issues we currently have. Ditto for the 32Gb internal storage.

Appreciate the idea though. Thanks.

I have a steam deck, along with a steam controller, and a steam link.

The steam is definitely not a good replacement tablet for a young child.

I’ve heard quite a lot of issues with the Fire.

I’m also trying to keep my daughter as ad free as possible, for as long as possible. The Fire seems antithetical to that as it’s possible to be.

That looks like a good option. Thanks!

I had completely missed that one.

The current tablet is as fast I as I can make it. I’ve also disabled, and uninstalled all I can, to free up space. 16Gb doesn’t go far, when most streaming services don’t allow installing or buffering to an SD card.

It’s also not had a security update since 2020.

Depending on the target, vaccines can allow the immune system to eliminate it before it can start multiplying significantly. For things like measles etc, this effect is strong enough to provide effective immunity. Whether vaccines can stop infections depends a lot on how you define infection. They won’t magically stop the virus being able to enter your body. They can stop them from establishing themselves and stop you becoming infectious to others.

Unfortunately, the coronavirus family viruses are particularly slippery. Even our primary immunity from infection is often short lived. COVID is ridiculously good at both hiding from the immune system, and spreading to new hosts. The vaccine provides significant protection, but isn’t effective enough to provide complete immunity.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of COVID, the vaccines aren’t fully effective at stopping infection. The virus is just too effective, and our immune system doesn’t maintain the response required.

What they do is give the immune system a massive headstart. This vastly reduces the peak viral load. This both reduces the chances of it being dangerous, as well as reducing how infectious you are.bit doesn’t always stop you getting reinfected however.

The tests are actually impressively accurate. They have a VERY low false positive, when used correctly. They aren’t as good with false negatives, they can miss minor infections, that don’t expose enough virus and so can show negative, even when infected.

A positive test however, definitely (or as close as no difference) means you’re infected, even if you don’t feel any symptoms.

It used to be most used esp8266 or esp8285 modules. Unfortunately, tuya have created a pin compatible module that explicitly can’t be replaced easily. They’ve pushed it hard with their ecosystem, so it’s all over the place.

There are still a lot of esp based devices about, but you need to be careful of anything with a tie in to tuya.

They do now do a hardware option, though I’ve not used it. In one of my setups, it just uses the native ethernet, as well as a usb adapter. The software doesn’t have any issues with this.
