Not a very accurate method, but any discerning reader should get into Nabokov right away from:

Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth.

If you're up for the classics, you could try ‘Robinson Crusoe’. Its language is rather antiquated, and apparently there are multiple long passages of musings on religion (which I must've forgotten), but at least for a month afterwards I was thinking of getting a period survival game with base building — except I wasn't playing desktop games at the time, which saved me.

Regarding tech, you'd do well with all the cyberpunk classics: William Gibson's ‘Neuromancer’ and sequels, Neal Stephenson starting with ‘Snow Crash’, everything by Cory Doctorow (usually freely accessible). Stephenson and Doctorow in particular are well-informed on actual tech and adjacent topics, and their novels and stories are often grounded in real stuff.

Greatly recommend this approach:

  • install Evil right away for humanly motion keys

  • perhaps install Org-mode if you're still shopping around for the perfect notes app

  • spend a few months crafting your own configuration

  • backup your whole configuration, install Doom Emacs instead, port extra stuff from your conf on top of Doom

  • finally enjoy proper quality of life in Emacs

The fucker is still touring apparently. At least, Youtube shows me event dates and links to Ticketmaster.

As for the song, for me it has a strong whiff of Pink Floyd's 'TDSotM'.

From Apple's side, this situation is indistinguishable from the phone having been stolen.

P.S. Although maybe there's a way to learn to what account a part is locked, and write to them 'hey bro, could you please unlock this phone you threw away'. Then again, the repair shop also can't know that the phone wasn't stolen.

I'm legitimately intrigued as to who implements cyberpunk first: Sovereign Chaebol of Samsung or the United States of FAANG.

Samsung probably already has more political power than actual Sovereign Military Order of Malta, which holds diplomatic relations with 115 states. And, of course, more than less important microstates, too.

Ask the previous owner to remove the locking, same way as they would need to if you bought the device to use it. What's the problem?

Again, says right there they should just remove the device from ‘Find my’, which disables Activation Lock, the very same feature that prevents theft for reselling the device for regular use.

Instead of using Repair Assistant to unlock the part, you can remove Activation Lock using Find My.
