  • PSA: Stop Using These Fire-Prone Anker Power Banks Right Now

    Jump

  • I lost my model A1263 in a box during a move. I've been looking for it over the last couple of weeks once I was notified about this, but no luck. I actually emailed Anker to ask if there's a risk of fire even in storage or not in use, and apparently it can happen even when not under any load and completely discharged.

    I don't even know if I still have it. Fingers crossed that my serial isn't one of the affected ones, but I'll keep looking and hoping that it doesn't burn my house down.

    How do we feel about Lemmy communities that ban others based on a protected characteristics e.g. gender, sexuality, etc?

  • Holy shit, this guy actually thinks that women marginalize themselves. The mental gymnastics behind that thinking are insane.

  • You can use Molly from F-Droid. They even have a full FOSS version that you can set up a self hosted notification socket for, to avoid Google Firebase.

  • I use a fake name at restaurants and fast food, and if I know something is coming via FedEx or UPS, I also use a fake name for that too. Unfortunately USPS will only deliver packages to the listed names at your address, or I would use a fake name for everything.

  • It sounds like you used crappy hall effect sticks or have defective ones, to be honest.

    Jump

  • I use hall effect on the daily and have had none of the issues you're discussing. I suppose time will tell, but I much prefer hall effect.

  • They could have easily fixed it with hall effect sticks. That is a proven and inexpensive solution, but Nintendo prefers to sell more joycons and create waste, it's that simple.

  • Google quietly released an app that lets you download and run AI models locally

    Jump

  • It's decent, with the deepseek model anyway. It's not as fast and has a lower parameter count though. You might just need to try it and see if it fits your needs or not.

  • That's fair, but I think I'd rather self host an Ollama server and connect to it with an Android client in that case. Much better performance.

  • Why would I use this over Ollama?

  • Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big tech

  • In regard to Linux users being left out in the cold.. how so? Do you think that distros are going to start enforcing attestation? I doubt that it will be a hard requirement for most, even in the next decade or two. It's an option, yes, but mandatory?

    FWIW, all of my banking apps work just fine with compatibility mode enabled on Graphene. Also, I'm not sure saying it's inevitable is the right way to go, it certainly won't make others care about their privacy and security.

    Saying “AI made it” means nothing now

  • Oh my god, not you again. Give the slop a rest. Your last (now-deleted) post said you had "no marketing", but here you are again.

  • Thousands of Asus routers are being hit with stealthy, persistent backdoors

    Jump

  • From the article:

    The only way for router users to determine whether their devices are infected is by checking the SSH settings in the configuration panel. Infected routers will show that the device can be logged into by SSH over port 53282 using a digital certificate with a truncated key of

    ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEAo41nBoVFfj4HlVMGV+YPsxMDrMlbdDZ...

    To remove the backdoor, infected users should remove the key and the port setting.

    People can also determine if they’ve been targeted if system logs indicate that they have been accessed through the IP addresses 101.99.91[.]151, 101.99.94[.]173, 79.141.163[.]179, or 111.90.146[.]237.

    How I’m building a micro-income system using GPT + Payhip

    Jump

  • It's a structured low tech kit solution that uses Legos and hammers to hit them when the data tells it to with no guidance or tutorials which makes you money when you (a solo builder) are going broke.

    What's so hard to understand about that?

  • It's clear that we don't get guidance - you don't even seem to know what your "platform" does.

  • "no marketing", meanwhile you've created an account with your platform's name? what would you call what you're doing right now then? "Sharing" doesn't count unless it's open source and free, btw. So, it's not that.

  • Try again, not using the word "kits". Why would a "solo builder" need this (which you haven't been able to coherently explain yet) when they could use real software to do so?

  • I've noticed a lot of them think that tornadoes are being sent by "DNC billionaires" to legitimize "leftist climate change". They think that solar geo engineering is the cause. Anything to not admit climate change is making severe weather more frequent and more intense.
