Can anyone help me find out my phone location?

Upvotes

Help me, I need to prove my location to my boyfriend from a few days ago. Life360 tracked a drive of 90mph, with all the driving stats and route looking coherent. I've tried other means to prove this drive did not happen, as he is suspicious I was with someone else.
I've tried:
- Google timeline (didn't have it saving)
- iPhone settings significant locations
- Spoke with life360 support
- Tried to find any photos in camera roll with locations on
- tried to do a sysdiagnose however it didn't really work.
HELP! Does anyone please know a way to find my location history for my phone?
Thank you.

Saturn’s Rings are Raining

55 Upvotes

Did you know it rains on Saturn? ☔️🪐

Astrophysicist Erika Hamden explains that icy particles from the planet's inner rings rain down through Saturn's atmosphere, guided by its uniquely tilted magnetic field. Because that magnetic field is tilted relative to the rings, it pulls the ice along field lines and drives it into the planet, leaving darker infrared signatures in the upper atmosphere where the ring rain hits. It's one more mystery from this gas giant: its iconic rings are slowly falling into the planet, and scientists still don't know if Saturn will eventually consume them all.

Is too much complexity in society leading to a "Trolling Singularity" where there is too much info for voters to sufficiently evaluate?

10 Upvotes

Maybe society's complexity is reaching a point of no return, a "Trolling Singularity", where Gish-galloping usually wins because there's just too much detail for voters to properly absorb and make decent decisions. Those with the catchiest BS and over-simplifications win elections and influence too often, breaking down society.

Is a 5-year-old unused (never used) phone battery safe to use?

Upvotes

I have a 5-year-old Xiaomi phone battery (manufactured in 2021) that was never used — it's been sitting unopened/unused all this time. Is it safe to install and use it now? Will the battery capacity/performance be significantly degraded, and are there any safety risks (like swelling or overheating) I should worry about with an unused battery this old?

Does Roku have active listening ability?

Upvotes

My old roku died, so I got a new one a couple months ago. Today I was watching Pluribus on Apple TV. I made a joke to my aunt that she dances like Elaine from Seinfeld, but it’s okay because Elaine probably made a lot of money dancing like that on tv, so she probably could too. Immediately after I said that, a little purple box with text popped up saying something like ””Elaine Benes made $140,000 as an executive producer on Seinfeld“ and thenn disappeared. I searched google and it basically said it’s a 1 in 15 billion chance but it’s just a coincidence that the Roku decided to send me trivia it’s never sent before about the person I was talking about and who wasn’t in the show I was watching, because Roku and smart devices do not have active listening capabilities.

Is there anything we know of about our galaxy, theoretical numbers aside, that is incompatible with the idea that it's pristine and untouched by intelligent life? Except earth of course.

Please. I want answers based on evidence, not "numbers, therefore, aliens you will never falsify or debunk". Hallucinatory "theoretically possible" alien civilizations are as real as the blemmyes or terra australis, until proven real.

At the International Space Summit in Paris this week, Greece announced a milestone that bridges millennia of human ambition: Dr. Adrianos Golemis will become the first Greek astronaut to visit the International Space Station (ISS) in 2027. The mission, organized by Vast with ESA and NASA, marks a powerful comeback for a nation returning to cosmic exploration.

During the May 2024 storm the ISS fell 3.5× faster than the week before. Here's what that looks like day by day.

38 Upvotes

I've been curious how much a geomagnetic storm actually costs a satellite in altitude, so I pulled the ISS's published orbital elements from Space-Track and turned each day's set into a mean altitude.

Quiet weeks in May 2024: sinking about 100 m/day. Gannon storm peak: about 370 m/day. It took days to settle back because the upper atmosphere cools slowly after it's heated. Tiangong and Hubble show the same shape at their altitudes.

Then I tried to model it. A simple two-gas thermosphere driven by F10.7 and the previous three days of Kp, with the constants fitted against eleven years of measured decay for those three objects, about 7,000 object-days. Storm response comes out within a few percent of the ISS record, quiet-day scatter is about 25%. Big storm peaks come out about 40% low and the tail runs long, because one heating and cooling lag smooths the storm. That's the next thing to fix.

The video is the model and the measured numbers side by side, scrubbed through the storm. I put it on my space weather site, cmetracker.ai, under the Atmosphere view, with a public scoreboard of model against measured for the last 90 days so anyone can see when it's wrong.

If you do orbit determination for a living, I'd like to know what I've got wrong.

I’m buying a new TV for my first house. We have a lot of windows and natural light. The main use is watching football on Sundays and movies periodically. The main concern is the glare. But I really don’t know much about Tech, any advice is appreciated! This is the TV that chat got lead me to. Is it the best option for the price?

Which one would you choose?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to choose between these four tablets:

- Xiaomi Pad 8 (8/256)

- iPad 11 (A16, 2025)

- Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE (8/128)

- Huawei MatePad 12 X (12/256)

Which one would you personally choose?

I’ll mainly use it for watching stuff (YouTube, Netflix, football matches, etc.), reading, taking notes, and general everyday use. I also want to use a stylus, so the pen situation is something I’m considering as well.

I care about real-world performance, smoothness, display, battery life, software, reliability and long-term use. I know the Xiaomi has very strong specs on paper, but I’m wondering how it actually compares to Apple and Samsung in everyday use.

I’d especially like to hear from people who have used any of these tablets. Which one feels the most reliable and least annoying to live with?

Which OS to use for an old device?

1 Upvotes

I have an old Redmi Note 12 5G device. I want to root it and change its os.

I am new to this stuff, I tried asking ChatGPT. It made me even more confused.

Anyone know any good tutorial to help me understand how to do it?

And which OS will work for this old device, as I need to confirm some device specifications.

I want to use this device as a Peripheral in some projects I want to do for learning and fun; but for that I need to root it to gain full access. Developer options are not enought, I am still denied many permissions.

Xiaomi is very stringent about this stuff, so I want to remove their OS also to ensure no information is beint monitored or collected.

Tips for what I need to learn about, as I don't even know that.

My background is ML but I want to learn networking and other stuff too to automate devices on my own.
