Pandas are not known to be the brightest animals. But a bored one may have a well rested mind so who knows.

So where do you go for tech advice, niche hobbies and obscure activities?
Solar only works during the day. During night you need batteries which are not renewable. Mining lithium trashes ecosystems and we probably have enough for like 50 more years at this rate, cobalt is extracted through slave labour. And we’ve seen how well recycling works for other materials which are less complex. So all these renewables aren’t all that green in every aspect. Unless we solve the energy storage problem it isn’t as simple as putting up more panels.
No different than the Amazon Echo devices, Google Assisstant hardware and other such devices being sold at a loss just to squeeze all that juicy data.
And people willingly put these spyware always on mic devices in their homes.
We need more awareness on privacy…
Hey, it"s not bad if it’s the US doing it… freedom for everyone
EternalBlue says hi
When you put out photos of yourself on the internet you should expect anyone to find them and do whatever they want to them. If you aren’t expecting that, then you aren’t educated enough on how internet works and that’s what we should be working on. Social media is really bad for privacy and many people are not aware of it.
Now if someone took a picture of you and then edited it without your consent, that is a different action and it’s a lot more serious offense.
Either way, deepfakes are just an evolution of something that already existed before and isn’t going away anytime soon.
Exactly. At the end of the day, naming is not that relevant as long as it conveys the message of what the app does. It only gets confusing when you have a bunch of apps doing the same thing
What about the back of your tv? Or friend’s PC? Or library computer? Or phone charger? Or… Any other Universal device using the Universal Serial Bus…
You may learn YOUR devices, but you may also have to interact with other devices at times and USB didn’t make it easy in the past.
Now, type C is a thing and it helps with plugging it in right the first time, but that one has the HUGE issue with allowing any protocol since USB 1.0 and everyrhing else is optional. So even though you can plug a type C monitor into a type C microphone, nothing will happen, so it’s not stupid proof anymore.
Not talking about my ports. Also ports can be installed the wrong way by the manufacturer. I had a pc case that the front usb ports upside down. But again, usb ports can be installed vertically, in which case it won’t matter if you know which is up or down your usb plug, because now it’s left or right
That may help in the case of a properly installed usb port, but what if the port is upside down? Or what if it’s a vertical port? Is upside left or right?
What about DLCs? And micro-transactions? And lack of optimisations? Base games these days are more like beta versions of what used to be provided in the past… It kinda feels like shrinkflation, price is the same but you get a lot less, both in quality and quantity.
Kinda pricey when you look at what competition offers in that same range
Not sure if you know, but there is an app called gadgetbridge, open source that can interface with many wearable devices including pebble. I use it with an amazfit bip and it works very well. You should give it a try.
It was the last <6" flagship smartphone. Not sure what to replace my s10e with. The battery is failing and I didn’t get any security updates in a year. I could unlock the bootloader and put a custom rom on, but that blows the e-fuse in the SoC so bye-bye decent camera and possibly mobile banking too
Meh, I was actually planning on getting a zenfone, but the limited software updates kinda put me off
They also fail the jerry rig durability test. They are very bulky too.
You can connect to them though. Peers that have their ports open can allow seeders to connect to them
You came here asking if a vpn config is outrageous. And it may be for you, but it’s also probably the only option for that specific provider as they can’t get their own client onto the locked down apple store.
You can continue using your devices, but don’t expect people to give you solutions left and right as you are not using an open “ecosystem”, so sometimes there is no (easy) solution. All people did was suggesting a better approach that will give you a lot less headaches and you took it personally…
I umderstand your reasoning and I sure hope the fediverse will succeed. I doubt the normies will come over any time soon, but that is not really a bad thing. What is bad tho, is the fragmentation of data over so many instances, duplicate communities not knowing about each other and the censorship some instances apply. I don’t even know how some of these will get fixed or if they will ever, as they are core part of a decentralized architecture. I miss infinity tho, eternity for lemmy worked for a while but it’s no longer maintained :(
