Yeah there is a world of difference between the microusb gen 1 and the newer AV1 enabled ones.

The old ones literally didn’t have their own OS IIRC, you could only cast to them which caused a ton of issues.

The newer ones literally run android TV

For some things.

For many things it isn’t. It is usable (I use it) but with a bunch of workarounds for anything embedded development-related since it needs specific vendor software with device access. I have had to use a variety of distrobox + app image solutions that are often a bit worse than a system that installs them as native apps.

Most “privacy guides” like that literally just shift trust from one party to another.

Banks are starting to have temporary credit card numbers themselves for a purchase. It depends if you want “privacy” or “anonymity” as it seems like the person in the video wants the second.

Nowadays there are precious few actually private or anonymous email providers themselves. Maybe Posteo or Tuta? But I don’t know their audit history with leaking metadata or handing over logs and information when asked.

Honestly I have accepted that if I have to buy online, there is always a paper trail. Buy in-store in cash when possible, use second hand websites in your area. It is better for the environment too. Anything digital will have a paper trail that can always be de-anonymized with enough effort.

All my electronics hobby stuff I have to buy online and I just do this with my normal credit card, especially since they have export controls in many distributors and if you get caught using fake credentials they will likely blanket blacklist you as someone trying to bypass export controls and use medical/consumer sensors and devices for weapons, against the companies’ restrictions.

Honestly as much as I hate google, Chromecast has been a pretty flawless jellyfin experience.

4k AV1 support (though I only have a 720p TV, so I got the full HD version), and the jellyfin client is one of the best and most updated.

In the 5 year future I want to be able to have a cheap N100 box (pis are too expensive and under powered in video, maybe the new RISCV SBUs will beef up decoding and be perfect for that a few revisions later) and then throw Plasma Bigscreen on it when it matures and have a fully FOSS streamer, but that won’t work well now.

Since 1981 the large decline began. Like 80% of bad policies and shitting on the working class in america can be traced back to the 80s… I wonder what happened then.

Kamala would just have been a party line corporate puppet like Obama 2.0. But undoubtedly 100x better than trump.

At this point it is a bit more than signals. It is very blatant.

Why would “license plate” cameras be pointed at childrens’ playgrounds https://san.com/cc/flock-camera-captured-kids-on-a-playground-a-security-failure-exposed-them-online/

Doesn’t PieLauncher already do this?

And by “tending to last longer” it is good to note that it almost always lasts 5x-10x longer, as in you only need to charge it once a month instead of every few days with medium reading, depending on backlight usage.

When I only read a few pages a day because of my schedule, my battery lasts over 6 months easily. Meanwhile my unused iPad has to be charged every week or so even if it is used 0 minutes.

Yep, me too, but my Sony xperia 5ii has a few issues like no fingerprint reader and a battery that only lasts 3/4 of a day with light use, plus no updates for the past 3 years…

Might have to go fairphone soon

I am a bit ignorant about fedora security, but doesn’t pretty much everyone run Pipewire now and not pulseaudio?

But that is the best part of user software development.

Developing [a game] is pretty much free, so if you make any money out of it at all is just a bonus.

Most physical hobbies cost money where if you make some money from it it likely won’t even start breaking even, you are often 1-10k€ in the hole before you even start selling anything.

That doesn’t mean anything.

If you “by default” don’t log, then when receiving a court order, there is nothing to hand over which is the entire point. If,magically, logs from the past 5 years when they said there were “no logs” show up, that means they were lying about no logs.

Just like they now advertise that your data is fully end to end encrypted and even they can’t see it.

If, with a court order, they are able to decrypt and hand over your data, then they were lying in the first place that they couldn’t read your data and it isn’t end to end encrypted

Court orders aren’t some magical thing that go back in time and redo history. The entire point of these heavily advertised precautions is exactly against court orders by corrupt, tyrannical governments using the law as a political or fascist blunt weapon against citizens.

The USB control is a good point because for example my Xperia 5ii defaults the port control to full data connection

Not only that, Sony will, after you disable port data transfer, will silently re-enable it after a time.

They updated the Lens app (pretty much the best scanning app available) UI and haven’t enshittified it! I call that a win! I wish I could now pin it to a specific version on the play store.

endurain might be able tot be combines with Fitotrack or Opentrack tot get an steava-like experience?

Microsoft does this is other products too.

For example, python runs inside of Excel now so you can finally make good figures with matplotlib.

But they intentionally slow code compilation so it takes around 5x as long as as spyder for the same code.

Then, your code will time out after a couple seconds of execution and you “have to buy compute tokens” in order to be able to compute it further with your own machine.

V-rising

A sort of diablo-style game where you are the bad guy vampire. Very fun, but the damn server doesn’t pause time when it is empty, so I can only spin it up when I plan to play, not have it on all the time like valheim if my friends want to jump in without me and play

They don’t even stop significantly more crime now… They simply invent new “crimes” and jerk each other off for keeping the streets safe from that minority eating their lunch or going for a walk.

Lol what kind of engineering? Because it probably isn’t mechanical, electronics, or civil because most of those programs don’t work in Linux 😂

I have dreams of KiCAD and FreeCAD becoming good enough to be used a lot in industry and kiCAD is nearly there, but missing tons of productivity and collaboration features, but altium is still pretty ubiquitous, spaghetti code garbage that it can be.

My father used opensuse all through the 2000s when they still delivered CDs, so I always saw them laying around. I tried out Linux my first year of university (mint back then) because my mediocre laptop would take an insane time to startup windows 7. Battery life was significantly worse though. Maybe a part because my father used it because of unresolved feelings after he died.
