We also have individual accounts. It’s not an issue if other associates can see those passwords, as they’re strictly for professional use.

Individual accounts should not be accessible by others. Especially things like email, someone can abuse that really bad. You also have to trust that everyone with access to not share the data with everyone else, because at some point their going to stay logged in somewhere. Or they will give the password to someone because its easier than signing them in all the time.

Give us back 7, with the 8.1 back end!

I use a spreadsheet on the computer. Not elegant, and not convenient, but tailored to what I want. I manually put in my income and expenses, and have a separate page for the recurring stuff.

Tip for anyone who does similar, for recurring items (budget or bills), give each month (or whatever your budget period is) it’s own column. That way if something’s price changes mid-year, or changes each month (credit cards) it doesn’t mess with the totals for the previous months. It also allows for more periodic stuff to fit in the same sheet, just put 0 for the months its not due.

Pretty much. Apps I have unrestricted are gplay services, alarm, netgaurd, phone and messages. There are a few things in the optimized section (allow background activity) such as email, android auto, and my music player. Everything else is restricted.

My last full charge was Monday morning, some point on Wednesday I charged it from around 40% to 70%, and now on Friday afternoon its at 25%. This week has also been below average usage for me, due to vacation, with total screen time 4.5 hours.

There has definitely been a drop in battery life with Android 16, but we finally got small quick actions back, so I am happy.

Mine has definitely been draining faster since the first round of android16 updates. Similar settings as you, and it will last about 3 days.

Maybe, but I feel like the numbers still wouldn’t be that high. My second guess is maybe the default wikipedia shortcut in chrome’s search brings you to the chrome wiki page as an “easter egg”?

Its been a few years since I used chrome, so I have no clue.

How is google chrome the top page view? Think google left a bot running somewhere?

The data they compiled is really cool.

If reading the chart right, the genera with the most artists is opera.

Even if they didn’t have the music files, the analysis on the metadata is insane.

Publicly admitting they are the origin of the torrents is definitely a risky an insane move. I don’t think they want Sony going after them, but also fuck Sony for locking art behind shitty contracts that forces these kind of projects to exist.

I saw/heard an interesting take from a YouTube the other day.

They argued that forks are killing Firefox. Everyone using a fork doesn’t get counted in firefox’s numbers, they don’t see all the Linux user or people turning off AI features because we turned telemetry off. They only see the telemetry of the windows users that use the AI features everyday.

On one hand fuck Firefox’s current direction and the forks are great. On the other hand, maybe we should all use Firefox for some casual stuff just to keep the numbers up??? Keep shopping and banking stuff to the privacy respecting browsers, but the random Wikipedia rabbit holes can happen in Firefox.

And most debian user disable telemetry. Their numbers probably show its all windows folk heavily using AI because its the default.

An “expert” could be anyone who convinces someone else to pay them. The “expert” is probably the one that ran it through the chatbot.

No, that’s reddit. Here we’re all just depressed as we watch all the good things fall apart.

And the fix is a firmware update not a total recall? So its either buggy overcomplicated software or the update tweaked things to reduce the power draw so you got less machine power than what you were advertised.

Which honestly for a washer machine is pretty cool they can fix that sort of issue without the hassle of replacing the big machine, but if only these kinds of major safety issues could be figured out in pre-production.

The first edit was undoing a vandalism that persisted for 5 years. Someone changed the number of floors a building had from 67, to 70.

A friendly reminder to only use Wikipedia as a summary/reference aggregate for serious research.

This is a cool tool for checking these sorts of things, run everything through the LLM to flag errors and go after them like a wack-a-mole game instead of a hidden object game.

Neither of those are 1 word. At least hyphen them to pretend they’re one word.

Could be scraping our answers to train a data set to write their latest buzzfeed article. Reddit is so full of nonsense they need to come here.

I’ve never heard of this pamphlet, but I have a feeling you didn’t read it either because now I know about it.

My desktop computer is plenty secure, but I can install whatever app I want from any source. The OS provides security tools to help protect against viruses. Even on a Mac desktop you can install apps outside the app store.

Apple and Google are pushing for their app stores to be the only option. Imagine having one store chain in the whole world.

And while the app store apps have a verification process, they’re not impenetrable. Apps slip through the system and scam apps are allowed to run rampent. What’s considered malware now has also changed, 25 years ago an app constantly “phoning home”, scanning your data, other apps and collecting data would have been considered malware.

Devices would be most secure if we didn’t run any application.

I bet the US will be your full name + the last 4 digits of your social.
