More than just the cellular radio.

I think this was built into the SOC itself, or the GPS module, but it runs 100% independently of your OS, even on custom firmware.
I got into CloudWorkers with the hopes it is some sort of legit cause I am in deep crap.

I wouldn’t hold your breath.
Also low level, $20 an hour, remote really is asking for a LOT. Can you not work in person, or do you just don’t want to work in person? $20 an hour is reasonable in person, $20 an hour remote isn’t.
Words will do nothing, that’s how Trump was elected.
Actions are what’s needed. Get out there.
If you’ve got a thunderbolt port on your laptop and a thunderbolt dock on your laptop then there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work.
I’m not familiar with thunderbolt on linux, but on windows you plug it in and it just works™️ and shows up as if it was inside your machine. Your DE on linux might automatically do it, but if you’re command line only you’ll probably have to run a command first.
Social media in general was also a lot smaller back then too.
Until the iPhone got popular you had to use a computer to access it. And back then we didn’t really trust sleep mode very much so you had to wait 2 minutes for windows to boot when you wanted to go on the net. VS right now I’m standing in from of my clothes not getting ready for work for 45 seconds.
That’s how most things are in tech. Why reinvent the wheel when someone’s already made it?
I personally love trying to break into any device running android and install our companies web crawler onto it. I almost got it working on my DJI drone remote. Sadly I don’t think I’ll be able to get into these Logitech Tap Scheduler things.
The worst laptop you can find could probably be better than even a reasonably specced VPS. Low end VPS are dire, and you can get some pretty decent laptops for almost nothing. If it’s pre 8th Gen. Intel they’re basically worthless on the used market. But they’ll still easily get the job done.
Decentrilization is both a blessing and a curse.
If there’s an issue you can make your own community with blackjack, and hookers.
But at the same time these communities never seem to get super big (minus a few) and if you’re subscribed to both there’s not a good way to deduplicate the posts. So 5 communities post the same thing (or one person posts them in 5) sometimes you see all 5 side by side.
Don’t forget safety. There’s a LOT of of sketchy ass gan (and non gan) chargers I wouldn’t even let in my house. Gan chargers being by so compact dont have enough space to safely insulate things.
Modern phone cameras are 99% software at this point. If you took one phones camera and put it onto another phone without adapting the software then the photos will look like ass.
You can’t just unplug something from device X and connect it to device Y. The connectors aren’t standardized. And even if they were they wouldn’t fit because the placement is different. In theory you could take the CPU off of one device and plant it onto another. But have fun with that BGA micro soldering. Plus the connections will be different unless you picked a phone with the exact same CPU. Ram is the only thing you could potentially upgrade. But like good luck.
You’d legitimately have an easier time making a new phone from scratch than trying to piece together 3 different phones.
If you need the money then start looking for jobs now, and quit when you’ve got something.

LLMs are really good at dumping a big ass error log on them and saying “what’s wrong” and it will find the issue, and probably point you in the right direction.
It’s a self managed QOS. If the customer knows they can only use X data they’re going to be a bit more cautious about using it. Vs if they have unlimited data then they’ll just download that 50 gig file on their phone because “fuck it why not”. The less data each individual customer uses the less infrastructure they have to build, and the faster/more consistent their existing stuff will be.
Cell tower time is a LOT more expensive than time on a fiber optic cable. Your ISP installs a few boxes to serve your neighborhood, a cell carriers tower might go 20 miles.
The size of the app doesn’t matter, it’s what the app does.
Say you managed to uninstall your only launcher. Getting a new one on there would be a pain, but is doable. But uninstalling the fucking massive DJI app? Nah that’s nothing.
I have an N100 box for my router and it’s great for singe gigabit or less. But > 1gbit and you really quickly need some serious hardware.
At work I was using a VM with 2 cores from a xeon 4215 and it struggled to get anything more than 2 gbit. As soon as I bumped it up to 4 cores I was able to get the full 4gbit speeds. If I wanted to do any traffic shaping or packet inspection speeds would tank. Also my OpenVPN speeds kinda suck on this N100 device. They’re never great, but I can definitely tell I’m getting CPU bound vs when I ran it on my server. So if you plan on running extra services don’t expect the greatest performance.
A lot of networking traffic is single core dependent so I’ve been trying to find one of those weird 5 core machines with 1 P core and 4 E cores which I think would be the perfect fit.
That doesn’t always work. Especially if Web Environment Integrity were to take hold.
Plus if something has been ignored for so long that it basically needs a full rewrite of some aspect then even if you have the skills to do it, you can’t realistically do it because it’s such a big problem.
Docker requires hardware virtualization so kinda but not really. Apparently it runs inside of a VM so that’s a no go.
Honestly I think you’re asking way too much for a VPS, or even a full blown server. If you want to run CAD software you’ll also want a remotely capable GPU and you won’t get that in a server unless you’ve explicitly put something in it. The built in GPUs in servers are like radeon 3450s that are 15 years old and are basically just video adapters and not actual “graphics processing units”. If you have your own server I’d throw a GPU in there and try running your software there. But honestly any remotely modern laptop will probably run faster than a cheap rented server.
Docker Desktop for Linux runs a Virtual Machine (VM).
Looks like you’d still need virtualization.
I actually really dislike DLSS and FSR. At least to me the upscaling is pretty noticeable (but not the end of the world), but the artifacts that it causes drive me insane. I haven’t tested Onion Ring with it. But for example FH5 I get all sorts of ghost images on my screen and they go away as soon as I turn off DLSS.
Also weirdly on my laptop I got worse performance. I’m assuming that’s because I’m 100% CPU limited and there is a bit of CPU overhead to running DLSS.
