Don’t forget the current supreme court motto though: “rules for thee but not for me”. Only massive and rich corporations will be allowed around copyright rules, but you and I and indie and open source will be held to the letter of the law.

Copium.

Steamdeck made many times more Linux users than Windows ever did.

Plex has started to enshittify as well. I switched to jellyfin because Plex had features behind pay walls and kept going “oops I accidentally changed your settings so you have to look at the plex home screen with ads for our streaming service”.

Caltrian is not California High Speed Rail

No shot 4 SSDs will be the same price as a HDD of the same capacity yet. HDD is still the king of GB/$.

If I’m wrong… Can you send me some links? I could use some cheap 8TB SSDs.

The horrible AI slop looks so bad if you look at it for longer than a second. Do better yall.

1. Coil stoves get red hot by resistive heating of nichrome, reaching 700-900C, near or above the melting point of most common alloys of aluminum.
2. Even cheap coil stoves should have a thermal fuse that shuts off the coil if it gets too hot but it could have been disabled or otherwise not prevented heating the aluminum to over 500C

This could be really useful for someone who doesn’t even realize that there are trains some places, but I think in cases where the train is so much better than flying they should put it at the top:

Bandcamp seems decent but it’s got a small and niche catalog.

Even more so, yes. I will be mostly fine in California even if Trump is elected, in all likelihood. The worst things about Trump’s presidency were not felt here but seen in other states.

Obviously Trump is a huge threat to federalism in general and democracy at the federal level, but they can only do so much to the states and cities.

Where would you rather live under a trump presidency? Los Angeles or Orlando? Seattle or Nashville? Philadelphia or Little Rock? Even Austin, a very blue city, is prevented from doing a lot of good by the state of Texas.

Good news if you are a resident of California, Vermont, or North Dakota:

My “Personalized Shopping” setting was unchecked.

Another reminder that your state and local elections matter more than the federal to your daily lives.

I’ve got a brick for EU/UK/USA/AUS plugs with 3 type a and 1 type c and an international multiplug ac/ac pass through.

One of the concerns I would have with custom ROMs for TVs is that I think a lot of the image processing magic that makes the image look good on these high end displays is done in some proprietary method that the custom ROM wouldn’t be able to use. Either in software or in hardware.

The magic of the high end TVs isn’t actually in the panel itself as much as in the driving of the panel.

My Mazda has the same controls and I’ve never really felt like they’re hard to find. The button layout makes a lot of sense and the large center wheel is easy to find so you can use it as a reference point to find the other buttons easily (I pretty much just use the home and music buttons and that volume knob).

The trump AI was way to succinct and didn’t get distracted constantly cutting himself off every 10 words.

There’s no need to make these things Big Tech, so if that’s why you are opposed to it, reconsider what you are actually opposed to. This could be implemented in a FOSS way or an open standard.

So you not trust HTTPS because you’d have to trust big tech? Microsoft and Google and others sign the certificates you use to trust that your are sending your password to your bank and not a phisher. Like how any browser can see and validate certificates, any camera could have a validation or certificate system in place to prove that the data is straight from an unmodified validated camera sensor.

Other laptops don’t have this problem.

You can’t be serious. It’s 2024, and my laptop from 10 years ago needs 125% scaling at least. Get real.

He’s already owned it for nearly two years. I’d definitely take the over on that bet. I just don’t see what Twitter could possibly do that they haven’t done already to kill it?

Probably is there too but good luck getting anyone to fine them for it

I get why ISP provided routers and some brands of mesh router would collect and sell data but what is it about “mesh” that is particularly bad here? I have a cheap TP Link router that is apparently mesh compatible but it seems like a traditional router in all the other way. Should I be concerned?
