5 hours ago@whostosay I know they’re being touted as having done very much with very little, but this kind of thing should have been part of the little.

@atrielienz @ObviouslyNotBanana If you use their Search and don’t want all the AI results forced to top of results you can try using UDM14 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/google-searchs-udm14-trick-lets-you-kill-ai-search-for-good/
@howrar @dantheclamman I needed a replacement garage door remote last week. Bunnings has them locked to the shelf thing. I did bend it a fair amount but couldn’t get the thing off. Found an employee who seemed as pissed off as I was. He didn’t have a key though. So had to disappear for quite some time to find one. It’s a $60 product in a reasonable size pack. Not a $6000 item I can slip in my pocket. Another reason to shop online (I needed that item that day otherwise I would have got it online)
@CancerMancer @prof_wafflez +1 for #Amazfit I’d certainly have another quote happily. Killed my last one (totally user error).
But I’ve now realised I never use many of a smartwatch’s features so I’ve gone for one that just does notifications and step count
@random_character_a @GooberEar blonde Welsh milf any good for ya?
@deranger @theunknownmuncher the US trying to stifle Chinese progress/stop chip exports has had exactly what anyone could see. China is making leaps and bounds in all sorts of tech areas, innovating around obstacles
0·2 days ago@Zozano @FireWire400 They screwed over foreign roamers too. And turned thousands of perfectly good and compatible handsets into e-waste overnight.
Oh, and conveniently made it so that the average consumer can only really buy handsets from the networks themselves if they want to be sure of compatibility.
@ForgottenFlux I lost one of my pair of hardware keys last week. Waiting for replacement to arrive - #Bitwarden will be the first thing I register it into
@Baku My daughter (5) tried to sell some of her art on the pavement to passers-by.
Clearly a competitor to a multi-billion dollar price-fixing, colluding, un-competitive duopoly.
@Salvo Worth a read of their current def https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary/_Business/Bills/_Legislation/bd/bd2425/25bd39
But yeah, those would seem to come under "the sole purpose, or a significant purpose, of the service is to enable online social interaction between 2 or more end-users[2]the service allows end-users to link to, or interact with, some or all of the other end-users
the service allows end-users to post material on the service
such other conditions (if any) as are set out in the legislative rules."
@Lodespawn @Salvo The definition is currently loose enough to apply to iMessage. That’ll be a fun discussion with Apple’s lawyers.
I’ll likely be setting my kids and their mates up some sort of server overseas, maybe a Mastodon instance. I want them to learn to be social online, with some education and moderation.
@spiffmeister @Joker I’m interested in how they’ll handle iMessage. And if they allow iMessage, why not Signal? And so on. Gonna be some interesting lines have to be drawn.
@SquiffSquiff @some_guy They do that here to some degree. ISP’s DNS give a shitty warning about pirating if you try to visit any of the normal places for that kind of thing. Personally i just use a local DNS over HTTPS server. Which reminds me I need to see if he/she would like a donation.
