It is possible to get a real cell number from a big name carrier and then port the number to VoIP company to use VoIP service with an original cell number.

Switch phone service to VoIP, cancel cell service, all tracking capabilities is gone.

I know the SIM gets some information when the phine is turned on. I have never had data service on phone before, and I gave up cell service entirely awhile ago, so I was wonding how the iPhone could stay connected for service that has never existed or been used on phone.

Does that also work for people who never had data service and is a wi-fi only phone for calling, no cell/mobile service?

For longtevity, I would suggest an X870 board for future CPU release options, 9800x3D for gaming, and 32GB RAM. If you ever decide to go up to a 16 core CPU you should take out the 32GB for 64GB. Don't add an additional 32GB, there's a difference in performance between 4 8GB and 2 32GB.

The GPU is whatever you want because it only takes 10 minutes to replace with a new one.

There's not a noticible difference in performance for 9000 if a person already owns a 7000. There is a technical case to be made for buying 9800x3D, and it's not because it's new or faster. But sure, buy a 7800x3D and then buy a 10800x3D.

I don't know if tariffs, or an import tax, will be universal on everything, or only for certain products to encourage American manufacturing. Is there 4080 Supers easily for sale? I know the 4090 went end of life, maybe a month ago, from nVidia to clear out stock. I'm planning to buy a 50 series and then go to a higher resolution.

Buy an X870 board for future CPU options, buy whichever 9000 processor that you settle you, after CES buy a 50 series from nVidia, they'll have GDDR7 and could be slightly thinner, set your fan curve in UEFI and GPU software, look at a Dark Rock Pro 5 for CPU, and you can get it pretty silent.

Any email service that works with K-9/Thunderbird and OpenKeychain.

It connects to proprietary services which makes it not an option. The same situation for Tuta Mail. We can talk after they publish their server source code. Proton is also not an option for the same reasons.

NetBSD does work for toasters, coffee machines, and fridges, absolutely!

[–] Mettled@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

I question the claim about Apple Darwin using NetBSD since Mac is based on a 10+ year very old version of FreeBSD, and Playsttion 4 and 5 uses FreeBSD. Sony aubmits code to FreeBSD to get it supported for Playstation.
