It contacts Appleā€™s servers to ā€œauthenticateā€ the repair, then ā€œpairsā€ the new part to your system so it works as expected.

Mmmm.. DRM for your replacement parts for over $1,200 devices that you already paid for. That's what this society needs.

Do companies know that it's just a fucking HTTP client? You compete with curl smh

Am I wrong to think that if you are REALLY crippled by the "slow speed" of node, you just shouldn't be using JS from the beginning?

I'm Korean and I'm really curious where did you get this story. In 2021 turnover rate of teachers is South Korea was less than 3%(only for reasons other than retirement).

"Night run", which I'm assuming you're talking about ģ•¼ė°˜ė„ģ£¼, was just unheardof to me at least. I have never, ever heard about that happening. So I got curious and dug more and found out that a lot of non-Korean (mostly English language) teachers run away.

The article is about Korean teachers so I don't think that applies here but yeah. Work environment generally is shit here. But schools and teachers in general are quite well funded and all. It's just that there is absolutely no safety guard to the teachers in regards to abusive parents and extra-shitty kids. Plus obvious overworking that, to be honest, teachers are very much far from being the worst, not that it's objectively fine.

AI consumption of news content makes the news more accessible.

That is one of the stupidest thing I have ever heard on Lemmy

In South Korea, you cannot marry your great grandma's cousin's grandkids.

I live in South Korea and I get really frustrated how so many people(lefties) try to make a big deal out of this to shit on Japan.

Please fucking stop smoking first before you try to talk shit about this. You sound like a complete idiot when you drink and smoke and worry about how filtered water that is probably safer than the seawater now. You're literally paying to suck on carcinogens and radioactive shit.

You're just political about this. Not scientific.

Cannot recommend Obsidian enough. Just plain Markdown, but infinite times more powerful. I use it for just that and it's been damn perfect.

Newpipe is pretty much rock solid. It's subjectively better than the Vanced

Something of that size is nice to have calendar versioning.

A completely isolated, sound-proof, distractions-free study room.

Sorry not answering your quetion but that sounds like a complete nightmare to me.

I search way, way more than 300/month. I'm also not paying $10/month AND give my search history to a company that I made transaction with.

PhotoDNA is very proprietary...

I hope it has Marsnet and be fully decentralized.

Oh wow I'm shocked

I only use Torrent with Transmission because that's what is sitting in my server.

It'll be like throwing an egg at a boulder to break one

I try my best to use FOSS apps whenever I can. If I can't, it either gets its internet access blocked completely or it goes into Shelter (Except with some very few exceptions I just find not as uncomfortable).

Even I can block internet access, I wouldn't touch Google Authenticator with a mile long pole. That's just two words don't belong to each other.

That's very cute ngl

Windows 11 I hate

So much stupid shit day by day

WSL mitigates.

Can it run Need 4 speed?

zsh is so much nicer to work with

Seems like they're thinking about RCS support. My experiences with RCS has been pure piece of hot horseshit.

It's been decades since we got Email. I think we can do better.

Nope. That's about same last name. This is still very much a thing.

Yeah that's why I switched from VSCode to nano!

You can also freeze them. It won't taste good but it'll last for good long.

Huh. More you know.

How is that even possible? What kind of hosting company runs in a way that they would lose all the data with ransomware?

Fennec has been amazing for me for quite a time now but it is a bit frustrating to use FF only when you're using android. That's only because Google sucks ass but this will somewhat be a remedy.
