why does my Daylight Computer take > 16 hours to charge?

when I checked on it a little later the estimate went from 16 hours to 4. so maybe disregard
uhoh, they got you onto the daylight spy machine
i'm joking of course
well not really. I was one of the first people to raise concerns about their very sketchy privacy policy.
I am very careful about what I look at and enter into that thing.
What the fuck @npub1a00w...9q3h ? Are you out of your minds? If you're going to "collect my reading activity and personal notes", at least end-to-end encrypt them and don't harvest them for targeted advertising.
There is absolutely no way I'll be continuing to use you "Reader" software in this context, and you can be sure that if you release a custom OS that has this level of privacy invasion I will not be using it. If that means I can't use the hardware either, then so be it.
This is coming from someone who said the hardware is completely revolutionary and life-changing.

wow, that's a lot of tracking in one device. i do use google alot and they seem to know me better than i know myself, so I'm not one to judge. it's useful at a point. i do like the product idea
i use brave browser and mostly brave search... i tried kagi for a while but to be honest their search wasn't as good
this fiasco with daylight computer co has been comical to watch, they were all over nostr for a while and suddenly vanished, and then all these questions came up
literally cannot trust hardware manufacturers, at all, at all... you at least have some control when you buy desktop hardware but laptops, not so much, and tablets and mobile phones are friggin cattle tags... and as a bonus, they are underpowered, over priced, and to upgrade them it's a whole unit... right now i could more than double the capability of my desktop just by spending about 900 and get 50% more cpu cores, SSD read/write speed and memory bandwidth, double the cache, and zero obligation to running an OS on it that actively provides your data to whoever paid them to put that spy shit in them
it's not for nothing my phone only comes with me if i'm traveling more than an hour, i just don't even need it, it's nice to be outside in the world away from the internet and just being around people and culture
if you stay in one place for a while you don't need no stinking navigation, and when you are visiting places, you only need it when you need to venture into the unknown, once you know it, you don't need it.
if more places accepted lightning though, that would be a different story, i'd bring my phone and leave my bank card at home, in fact i'd cancel the bank account if my local supermarket and bar both accepted lightning, because that's the only two places i spend my money often, the convenience of being able to only sell my bitcoin immediately to a payment card is why i still stick with it, i keep my sats as sats, and only spend at the last mile.
I have a separate, no-data SIM in a non-smartphone that I take with me sometimes.
calls and text only. your whole mindset changes when that's all that's in your pocket. It's kind of shocking
good idea, i need to do this.
I use Tello. $10/month. a little steep but feeds worth it those days.
there are also the privacy SIM things that I haven't tried yet
i have this tiny thumb-sized phone that i could use for that but nobody ever calls me anyway haha... no point in paying for a second sim when i can just not take it with me.
it will be a happy day when insecure sms based auth dies altogether, i tend to try and avoid it, even TOTP is more secure
maybe some day the normies will finally learn that proprietary software can be hacked, and that's the secret reason they make it secret.
hopefully. what's the tiny phone? sounds cool.
also I didn't realize who you were until I saw the end of your pubkey. that's such a great trick - I wish I had done that. too late now
ah, it's never too late but it does take time to move to a new identity, in the sense of keeping your followers... i should really make a binary release for my vanity key miner, it's pretty fast, can get a 5 letter key - start, end, or anywhere in the key in about 15-60 minutes, or so, depending on your hardware
when i made the miner in the first place it took days to generate it with the slow signature library i was using, i basically made a pact with myself that i would stay off nostr until i had this new key... was a funny time... october 2023...
oh, the tiny phone... was just some silly thing i found on amazon... it has an old school white OLED display of like 10x2 characters lol, the buttons are really small but it's usable, and so small it could even be a key fob.
if I could get a really good vanity key I might take the follower hit. if they really like me they'll come along, and if not then I don't need em

if you are running any recent linux this binary should be the ticket. you can see here an example of it generating a key:
i used the btcd btcec secp256k1 library before, and it took like 3 days... now as you can see, a key with merely 5 letters potentially not even a minute on hardware like mine (which you can see in the image also what it is)

in case you can't see that image
seeing how fast this thing is i personally would advise minimum 8 character human readable last-letters in the code, and expect to wait 3+ days for it to generate
it's a strong protection against impersonators, has been used by Tor websites for quite some time also, i recall bohemia market at least had the word bohemia in their onion URLs for this reason
There is also a gpu miner
