Interesting idea. But, in your vision, what would be the main difference between this approach and actually wiping your device, install just some basic apps you need during the travel (e.g. airline's app for the boarding pass and flight info) and then restore from your cloud backup at the end of the flight? Main difference I see is that Apple/Google wouldn't have access to your data, but this only makes sense if you're not using their services to start with.

So do you give to your doctor your landline's nuber, and this is why they're surprised, or you don't even have that?

You're an hacker, detained.

Why do you say they can't do this?


For two

I reported the miscalssification, you can do it as well from the linked page.

Edit: reading some comments here seems that I was too fast, and that the story is much more complicated. Having just the Cloudflare page as a context, I assumed the news were a miscalssification. Could someone share more context on what is going on here?


> Comparing him to Nero is gross.

Just an historic curiosity: Nero setting Rome on fire is just a legend. At the time, there was a fire every other day due to wooden houses and poor to nonexistent safety. I even heard somewhere that Nero actively tried to help some people escaping from the fire by opening his residence's doors. So the comparison with Nero could still be correct, but for another reason: someone being wrongly blamed.


But, a Raspberry Pi isn't supposed to be a replacement for your desktop; it is meant as a device for experimentation.

Right. I'd like to see them do the Windows 11 upgrade on the same hardware...

Some people, myself included, are already less frustrated with Linux. Which means it is likely that other people would be less frustrated if they tried Linux. Not 100% of them, of course, but some for sure.

I have the exact same lid behavior on my HP laptop running Arch Linux.

Trust me I’d happily take a similarly specced Linux-compatible laptop over this company-mandated MacBook, alas.
