We did it Patrick! We saved bikini bottom slowed inflation!

Personally I'm hoping for a John Oliver + Onion collab with the Infowars studio

Thank goodness it's in HDR

Apparently it's not very hard to negate the system prompt...

I imagine they're one of those people who just have piles of trash in their car sliding around the floor and probably dashboard too.

Our ISP sends 3 strike letters :(

I hope they get wrecked and the company gets imploded

I've even experienced this in the 3D printing community, where I design a highly parametric model and put lots of effort into making all of the major dimensions and qualities parameterized and dynamically adjustable, with lots of bounds checking and value clamping, with all the parameters at the top of my scad file with comments explaining what each variable does.

And then someone comes along to remix my model, says I don't want to install openscad, and just scales the entire output stl to change the dimensions, squashing all the features of the model in the process (instead of having the size gracefully adjust with all the features moving around to account), and leaving anybody starting from their work with a hard to remix mesh with no parameters.

I can't be bothered to figure out which streaming service it's on. Also my *arr stack is fully automated and shared with ~15 people so the cost per person is very low considering my nas and nuc use ~100W combined, that's $12/mo for 15 people based on my local electric rate. I would gladly put my plex/jellyfin server in the closet and pay for a subscription if I could pay $12/mo to legally watch any show / movie on however many screens I want from wherever I want. But until then, my arrstack is both cheaper for the features and more convenient in content availability.

As a comparison, to subscribe to every major streaming service would be upwards of $90 per month.

I'm not a cook but just a general fan of commercial / industrial products (always getting jealous of the stuff I see in my engineer friends machine shops at work, materials science labs, etc), and one of my favorite sites to get ideas for when it comes to household / kitchen stuff is the webstaurant store. I don't necessarily even buy much stuff because some of the items can only be bought by the case, but it's fun to browse and if I see something I like I can check if it's available anywhere else. I have bought a commercial style tall recycling bin and some generic 5 gallon bag in box soda syrups since you could just buy 1 of those, which save a lot of money if you carbonate at home compared to buying soda at the grocery store.

Anyway they have a surface sanitizer section so you might get some ideas on what to get by browsing there. Again some are by the case but at least a few you can buy a single spray bottle or a single gallon: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/35535/surface-sanitizing-and-disinfecting-chemicals.html

And of course be sure to read all the directions and warnings since they might be used differently than you would at home, or have different requirements.

My parents bought into Wyndham but luckily were able to get out of it by contacting the AG (attorney general), I think of our home state - iirc they got conned into it when visiting vegas.

Lmao that greentext was literally me before I finally set up arrstack. One of the best investments of my time, it has definitely paid off over many years of just having things automatically download.

Transparent aluminum is so weird, a piece of it was once passed around our office. It felt heavier and colder than I expected, which I guess is probably because it's much denser than most types of glass (I think it's only comparable to optical glass so it would be close to holding a high quality glass lens) and it looks like the thermal conductivity is way higher.

It feels like the rollout of client modules and APs/routers was better synchronized this time. Back with wifi 6 I ordered the Intel modules within a week of them being available on AliExpress and then waited for what felt like months for APs to be available (it looks like unifi's wifi 6 ap finally came out in November 2021 based on when I bought it). Unifi's U7 pro dropped a few days ago so I nabbed one as soon as I saw the email and that arrived today so that's already set up, and the wifi 7 modules have already been out for a bit, i just didn't order them since I was anticipating a wait for APs. So now I just gotta wait a bit for shipping and I'll have all my laptops upgraded too.

I don't think it's completely true to say it's not accurate in any way. You can still get a rough estimate based on the proportion of likes to dislikes coming from people with the extension installed, then extrapolate that out based on the public number of likes provided by YouTube.

Of course it's not going to be anything more than a ballpark number, but being able to tell the difference between "almost nobody is disliking this" and "like half of viewers are disliking this" is super useful information. If nothing else it serves as a third party keeping a dislike count for users who installed the extension. They're not claiming to access the real YouTube data, so I think it's unnecessarily dismissive of what it does to call it bullshit.

Probably because he already did an nft collection apparently, according to the article.

Edit: of course the below only applies to chrome and possibly chrome derivatives - FF is keeping MV2

It'll make it a lot more likely that YouTube ads will get through because MV3 limits the block list size to a fraction of the size normally used by uBO and also disallows external/live updates to the block list, instead forcing the rules to be baked into the extension. Meaning an update to the blocking rules could take a week of extension review time to go through. I heard that the YouTube ad blocking rules can update multiple times a day so this would easily allow Google to update their ad code before approving updates to ad blockers, allowing them to always stay ahead.

So it might not outright break it, but some rules will have to be left off so it seems like it'll be a dice roll if you get an ad where the blocking rule had to be left off to fit Google's block list limit or the rule you have is stale because it took a couple weeks for the extension update to be approved on the extension store.

The feature of MV3 that enables these changes is that in MV3, the extension is handing over the complete blocklist to chrome, which does the blocking and gets to put limits on the blocklist. In MV2, the extension is given a direct hook to do the blocking itself, so it can have an unlimited block list size and can source the blocklist from anywhere. Think of it kind of like the difference between letting a graduation speaker speak off the cuff vs the school reviewing the speech beforehand and having their finger on the mic switch in case you wander off script. So the new system technically can be more secure and performant because the blocklist is reviewed as part of the extension and because poorly written blocker code can't slow you down (only Google's optimized logic is allowed to run) but it only works if they don't impose limits lower than what effective ad blockers need (ie updating frequently like daily and allowing a large blocklist). Plus uBo is written really well for resource usage so it's getting crippled even though it's a shining example of an effective ad blocker.

Plus there are even more limitations like certain types of advanced rules that all I understand is just needed for certain sites that are tricky., but those rules aren't supported in MV3. The uBo GitHub wiki has some information about this: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ)#filtering-capabilities-which-cant-be-ported-to-mv3

What do you mean no? Everything I said is true - I'm just describing my firsthand impression. Nowhere did I say transparent aluminum is a type of glass? I was just describing why it feels heavier and colder than you would expect since it looks like glass, of which most are less dense and less thermally conductive compared to transparent aluminum, which is not glass but makes sense to compare to in order to convey what handling a piece feels like.

I'm gonna rcm my switch now and copy my animal crossing island to my PC to be emulated. Shoulda done that a long time ago to have a backup that I actually own instead of having to pay Nintendo to keep my save data backed up. I see no reason to play any more Nintendo games on my switch, much less purchase any more when I have my steam deck.

Bro the article headline even says balcony railings. We're talking single solar panel + plug in micro inverter type setups. That's like $200 if you shop around.

And not sure if you're aware, but after the "usable age" the system produces at like 80% capacity, so unless you disconnected from the grid and really really need that last 20%, you don't need to change a thing and can keep using it way past the warranty period. Or you can add a couple extra panels. Why replace the whole thing lol.

Then what stops anyone from just never getting a membership?

I think that text is from melroy, so according to him. From seeing his interactions in the kbin issue tracker I get somewhat of an egotistical impression of him, because he would often take an issue that has just been opened and not triaged or discussed what the best fix is, and he would open a PR with how he thinks it should be fixed, and it sounds like his frustration is that his hasty PRs weren't getting merged quickly because people wanted to come to a consensus.

Maybe I'm just reading into it but it felt like he just wanted his name on something and it wasn't happening with kbin.

Edit: I want to add that I don't mean to shit on him as a dev or as a person - it's possible that I've only seen a one-sided view of his interactions as a busy contributor who just wants to whittle down the issue list as fast as possible and that he's got good intentions, and regardless he seems like a very capable dev. It's just that based on my perusing of issues and discussions I've come across, it doesn't seem fun to work with him to contribute, and if I were to treat the contributors list as a scoreboard and had the goal of having my name on as many commits as possible, I think it would be hard to tell us apart. I was just going to keep my thoughts about this to myself but I've seen some other people comment similar things in other threads about mbin so maybe it's worth sharing my skepticism about mbin. Take from it what you will.

If you mean the "passkeys" that are becoming popular as a "password replacement", it's basically speaking a public private keypair. What makes it more secure is that, under normal conditions (aside from backing up the passkey), the private "secret" part of the keypair never leaves the app or device it's stored on. It's only used temporarily to sign messages and prove that you have the secret key, unlike a password which needs to be sent securely to a server to validate.

You could in theory store a backup on a USB drive but since passkeys are new, it highly depends on the password manager you use to store the passkey. Since passkeys are more complex than something you can memorize/type, it has to be stored in a password manager of some sort to be useful, so you would need to check that password manager allows backing up passkeys. There is currently work being done to standardize the formats/protocols to transfer passkeys so it seems this is very much up in the air. For example, I use BitWarden which stores passkeys, but it seems like I can only add or delete passkeys to an entry, not export them and apparently they get exported with the passwords when the vault is exported. BitWarden also syncs your vault to every logged in device though so you could see that as a form of backup. Going one step further, even though BitWarden doesn't have a passkey export/backup feature yet (in addition to Bitwarden's vault export), the self-hosted server also stores all your passwords including passkeys in regular files which also can be backed up (this is how I back up my VaultWarden instance) - although it would probably be hard to use that backup in any other way besides restoring it onto a BitWarden server instance.

Edit: I didn't realize passkeys were exported with the vault export, since I haven't used it and noticed that editing an entry doesn't allow you to view passkey data - only remove, updated my comment to reflect that.

Your ISP knows the Mac address of your router since it requests a public IP from them using DHCP. That's why if you contact support they usually can confirm the brand of your router by doing an oui lookup.

In theory the FBI could have collected a list of MACs and optionally used an ASN lookup on the public IP and then handed each ISP their list of MACs, which the ISP could associate back to customers to contact. It would only not work for customers who spoof their router WANs ethernet mac.

But I think just patching it is a normal and fine solution imo.

I concur about rechargeables - it doesn't seem common for devices that take AA or AAA to have a battery gauge and it would be nice to be able to check the level on my rechargeables stock so I can know if I should top them off without needing to put each of them into the charger.

Lemmy really needs pixelfed's naive bayes spam detection, it would be able to easily classify the new accounts after classifying one post as spam, then it would be 0 seconds wasted.

I'm glad the adb flag is still an option, I had to use it to install the app for my ebike wheel which is the only way to adjust the assist level / Regen brake strength. Maybe eventually I'll try rewriting the app but I just don't have time.

Then maybe you should complain about the game company that employs those developers, not valve...?

Isn't Miracast for sending video data? The thing I like about Chromecast is that the phone or remote app just tells the Chromecast where to load the media directly from, and then only sends playback control commands. That makes it a lot lighter resource wise because you don't need to proxy the stream through a device like a phone that wants to go to sleep to save battery.

This is super neat even though it's basically just running the main board plugged into peripherals - I already knew the main board was pretty small but it's still surprising seeing it sitting on a table.

Makes me wonder what you could do with a case the size of a wii. Plenty of space for cooling, a 2.5" SSD bay, and I'm sure you could fit lots of other goodies in it too.

Assuming the context is appropriate I think an acceptable way to ask is "what's your heritage" - imo the important thing is not to sound like you're assuming they're a foreigner just because their ethnicity / appearance. I think asking about someone's family story or where their family is from is also a good way to ask because it's clear you're asking about their family and not assuming that it has bearing on the person's upbringing.

It also can be really confusing when you're a mixed and natural born citizen and you have no idea if "where are you from" is just smalltalk and they want to know where you grew up or if they're assuming based on your appearance that you immigrated and assuming that the answers to "where did you grow up" and "where are your ancestors from" are 1 and the same. So personally I like when people are more specific because when asked where I'm from I'm just going to ask if they mean where I grew up or where my parents are from.

I'm not sure how you figure that I'm "so angry", I thought my reply was pretty calm. All I'm pointing out is that valve treats their own employees very well, and that if you have an issue with how developers working for other companies are treated / paid, your beef lies with those companies.

Hell valve doesn't even charge their cut on steam key sales on other storefronts even though activating the key / downloading the game still uses steam infrastructure.

If only they could include phones that are within those 7 years but already ended support. I'm still on a Pixel 5 which was released 3.5 years ago.

Luckily lineage is keeping it going strong on android 14.

They seem to just keep getting better and better. When I scratched the lens on my index due to my own carelessness they replaced the headset for free. It's been 5 years since I bought it and the controller strap broke last week and they sent me a free replacement. Any other company and I would have expected my only option to be buying a new controller.

Those might be flatpak "refreshes", which show up as "updating to the same version". As described by a flatpak maintainer, sometimes an app or runtime gets updated without changing the user-facing version number. I assume that's what you're seeing here.

For me (in the app) it only starts generating AI answers if I change the question a couple times. Presumably that's to save costs on the AI by just trying a dumb search first and resorting to AI if the user keeps searching.

I've gotten it to summarize historical events and give instructions on synethesizing aspirin.

Beyond that I also feel like the dating pool is just super small. Me and my partner have been poly for 4 years and still don't have any other consistent partners.

You could end up working for a company that develops free software so that's one way. My company develops an open source science tool and it's free for anyone to hack on, run their own copy, and use for commercial purposes, but we sell support which usually seems to involve being paid to develop certain features and fix certain bugs, as well as advise on how to keep their system running smoothly.

Prowlarr has torrentlite as one of the domain options under the rarbg indexer. I guess they use a common profile for all the rarbg clones since they use similar html structure. You just add rarbg and then switch the base URL to torrentlite in the options for it.
