Pocket watch. Isn’t that the intended purpose of the small pocket?

If you use an online service to upload which towers you see, and get an approximate location as a response, then yes, it could be just ad bad from a privacy perspective. What these open databases allow is the possibility to download the whole tower database to your device, and then do the lookups locally.

That’s strange. I had a T480s (now replaced with a T14), and it always worked with whichever dock I tried. I have the Lenovo Thunderbolt 3 dock, which obviously works, I also have an HP Omen GA1 with an Nvidia 1080Ti inside, and a Dell dock at work, but I don’t have the exact model. Anyway, all 3 of them work fine on the T480s. Check the security settings to make sure the dock is getting granted access. Thunderbolt allows the connected device access to all of the computer’s RAM, so make sure you only use thunderbolt peripherials you trust. The Omen GA1 is also basically a real pcie slot for your laptop. I’ve used it with GPUs, 10 Gbps network cards, SAS controllers… always worked fine, just like a Pcie slot on a desktop.

To add a little more confusion, there are two words in Catalan for it. The map says “Pistatxo”, which is not wrong, but the synonym I and many people around me use is “festuc”, which coincidentally starts with F, so there goes your political border theory… or not!

The system in the USA is built this way. There are countries in the world where police officers act professionally and can be trusted.

We don’t want a lawless, free for all place without any law enforcement, we deserve a proper force, trained to behave in a professional manner, and monitored to do so.

You could describe the deep reform needed as “abolish and then build from the ground”, but that’s a matter of how to reach the goal, rather than a change in the goal itself’.

I’m running exactly that, with zero issues. I also have a secondary profile with Google Services Framework on it for the 2 apps I use that absolutely require it. It works great. Seriously, I’m never going back to a stock Android phone after this.

That’s what they are! I have a box full of leftover parts from years of home repairs, and I frequently store caps of opposite genders screwed together like this.

Nice work! Repairing these old things always gives you that warm feeling, because this part would otherwise be impossible to replace.
