For the #walking trip from #DulvertonToTarrSteps, I planned it using and #OrdnanceSurveyMap or #OSMap. I prefer using these tried-and-trusted methods for #hiking since they are less prone to #TechonolgyFailures and it forces you to consider what you will encounter, rather than always be looking at your #mobile.

Anybody out there know how to root really old #Android tablets in the year 2025 CE? I have a Dell Venue 3730 that is running KitKat (4.4.2) and that's the most modern thing it can run. I've been searching around the net for options and so much of it either (a) requires Windows (which I don't have) or (b) has died because of link rot, or (c) doesn't go back as far as Android 4.

I want to point this thing at a #homeassistant dashboard and make it like a remote console. But I can't get kiosk mode on something so old without rooting it (I think).

Also, the HTML that comes natively out of Lovelace is way too complex for #Chrome 32.0, which is what I have on the tablet. It just displays the HA logo and I never see more.

So I will need a simpler, possibly not websocket-based way, to load dashboards on HA, as well.

Any #mobile or #homeautomation folks have good pointers on how to do this?

Poor Kirk and Spock.

Courts say the feds can't grep the entire phone system. Which will stop them from doing so for exactly zero minutes.

Back to #Wayland and input methods.

What's your favorite input method?

Cause for me it was the one on old #Nokia phones. I could type with my hands in my pockets! Handy in winter.

Of Spain’s many exceptional towns and cities, Madrid is the most tragically ordinary.
In any other country, Madrid would be a must-see city. But in Spain, it’s just a meh one.

I enjoyed reading all of them. It is great that the development can be followed in such a transparant way.

I could do with some advice.

I changed my mobile network provider. Ported my existing number. It works except the number the eSim came with shows up instead of my ported number when I make calls and send texts. I did i network reset and restarted the phone, but that did not fix the problem.

Any ideas or suggestions? Galaxy s23 phone. Thanks.

Digital Journey Passes to replace check-in and boarding passes

Pilot programs are already underway. In Finland’s early trial, 91 percent of participants reported that the DTC system was easy to use. However, the pilot also encountered technical issues such as inconsistent camera recognition and network glitches, underscoring the need for robust infrastructure and further testing ahead of full deployment.

To address privacy concerns, ICAO has pledged that biometric data collected during airport verification will be automatically erased within 15 seconds of use. This privacy-by-design approach aligns with emerging biometric security standards and reflects a broader shift toward anonymized, consent-based identity systems, such as TECH5’s patented privacy-preserving multi-biometric platform.

ICAO Launches Digital Travel Pass to Replace Boarding Cards and Check-ins – ID Tech

When, we are well past if, this happens, this will be a huge change to travel. However, I want to call out that even today, the number of travelers with a phone, while likely at its highest is still short of 100%. This might suggest that we are shifting away from the check-in and boarding pass format as the default to the digital journey pass as the default.

Or this might be yet another wind to the sails of smartphone-ifying the rest of the world that’s not there yet. Either way, the changes that are natural for a world where there’s a 1:1 mapping between an individual and a networked computing device is here.
