Hi all,
silly question: can one, from a desktop or laptop, open a remote desktop on a Librem phone? Or "ssh -X" into one?
Cheers,

No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in a war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.

wouldn't getting reparation in court from China imply "enter into an agreement with another state"?

Why Fingernails On a Chalkboard Sound Painful 176
sciencehabit writes "Some sounds are excruciating. Take fingernails squeaking on a chalkboard. The noise makes many people shudder, but researchers never knew exactly why. A new study finds that there are two factors at work: the knowledge of where the sound is coming from and the unfortunate design of our ear canals. 'The offending frequencies were in the range of 2000 to 4000 Hz. Removing those made the sounds much easier to listen to. Deleting the tonal parts of the sound entirely also made listeners perceive the sound as more pleasant, whereas removing other frequencies or the noisy, scraping parts of the sound made little difference.'"

Zaks' 6502 is what started me in programming too! I checked the thread to see if anyone would mention that book. I am sure any good book will do, as long as it captures the reader's attention.

The Entourage Edge has a stylus and you can scribble on a pdf. But: saving the pdf w/ the scribbles on top results in a bitmap (!) pdf. If you are interested, the EE forums are still very lively.
Comment Entourage Edge (not too bad) (Score 1) 254
I got an Entourage (now defunct) Edge this spring, for reading and reviewing papers. It's a dual table w/ both eInk and lcd screens. In theory, it could be a great review/read tool: you read PDFs on eInk. A nice feature is that you can select a rectangle on the eInk side (e.g. a color figure) and have it shown on the lcd side. Unfortunately, zooming (important when reading two-column papers) is clunky. Annotation is clunkier still.
