The radios are the parts of your phone that communicate wirelessly. Most phones will only turn the cell radio off entirely during airplane mode, disabling mobile data does not typically turn that radio off.
Airplane mode should turn everything off (unless you re-enable things like WiFi, but that should still keep the cell radio off)
The amount of effort necessary doesn’t make it worth it usually
Ah you figured it out,
Was going to say if you’ve not got any alarms set, an application will be (ab)using the system alarm functionality to do something at a scheduled time
Seems a little odd for signal to use it for scheduled messages, but that’s what’s going on regardless
I assume this is coming at some point, tbh
I personally reckon they’re working on something YAbridge-esque to allow people to bring their VSTs to the push in standalone mode. If they can actually nail that, it’s an absolute no brainer to then release a full Linux version of the DAW and finally allow people like me to make the switch
Every time I’ve tried to run Ableton on Linux over the years (most recently about Christmas last year), it’s the VST support that lets me down. I’ve got hundreds of VSTs I’ve used in various projects over the past couple of decades and I can’t switch unless I know they all work properly—projects not loading or sounding different is unacceptable. I need to be able to open anything I’ve worked on over the years and be able to get right into the creativity without tinkering, as that is what I already have today.
Until that day, I’ve got to begrudgingly keep windows around.
You would not want to do this for latency reasons
If a dead thing would pickle, pretty much everything in the sea would end up pickled alive
If they’re spending money on something that improves their life in some way from their perspective, and aren’t prioritising that over needed expenditure, while also not making anyone else’s life worse: who am I to judge?
That said, more luxury spending should be avoided if you’re paying a lot of interest on debt. Paying interest is wasteful given you’re not really getting anything tangible for the money, but it’s not a normal expense you can just cut (usually, look for 0% balance transfer options if they’re available to you). So work on minimising that expense as a priority, in order to limit how much you ultimately waste in the long run.
At a much grander scale, there is a lot of wasteful government expenditure I could go into around subsidising the fossil fuel industry and everything connected to it at the expense of our environment, but that’s probably getting off topic

Murphy’s law is that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong eventually
It did potentially originate from an aerospace engineer talking about safe plane design, but the law as everyone knows it is the one above.
Finagle’s law is an extension of Murphy’s law by replacing “eventually” with “at the worst possible moment”
A lot of Arnie and no “hasta la vista, baby”
Baffling
I’m fairly convinced this comment was generated by an AI too.
Something off here
Glastonbury is my main, I’ve been to all but 1 (nearly 2 as I’m not going this year) since 2014
I did Shambala (the UK one) a couple of years ago which was similar but much smaller.
I’ve been to Manchester Psych Fest for several years now
Generally go to one of the London festivals most years, just did the Jamie XX day at Lido festival in victoria park the other week
Clubbing rarely nowadays, that was much more of an in-my-20s thing. Generally if I do it now it’ll be due to something like a stag do or I’m somewhere where the clubs are another level (e.g. Berlin, Ibiza).
Still go to a couple of music festivals a year though which has similarities
I grabbed the OP-1 Field off the back of their (sorta) choose your own price thing they’re doing this month.
I’ve messed around with a friend’s original OP-1 a number of times and I just find it a really creative way to get some ideas down quickly. It’s also quite different from my usual workflow, so it means I don’t fall into the same comfortable techniques.
I’m not sure if it’s worth it yet because it has not been delivered yet, but it’s a new Synthesiser I’ve wanted for a number of years.
Looking forward to the wave of creativity that usually follows when I get new gear
The latest version of Android allows you to plug your phone into a screen and use it like a desktop
If you mean to use full desktop applications on the go, they aren’t really designed to work on small touch screens. Your best bet for that kind of thing is an ultrabook or netbook style laptop, but that’s not gonna fit in most pockets.
Perhaps something in the steam deck form factor could work
there’s a lot to be known about me by knowing things about me
Mid thirties—still want to go out sometimes, also enjoy the above other times.
It shouldn’t be, no. But one of the big problems with phones currently is that the radio firmware is almost always a closed-source binary blob.
Airplane mode is probably better understood as the OS asking the radio nicely to not attempt to communicate with the outside world. The antenna is still there able to receive signals, and the radio technically doesn’t have to listen to the OS if it doesn’t want to.
It’s incredibly unlikely (researchers look for this kind of thing), so make sure your tin foil is on tight, but not impossible that a radio could store cell tower identifiers it has seen whilst on airplane mode and do something with them when it is allowed to communicate again. There’s also the possibility there’s some secret signal that can be sent to force a phone in airplane mode to respond.
Unless you’re up to some Edward Snowdon level stuff though, even if that last one exists, it’s probably not being used on you.
