  • The right-to-repair movement is growing as wins stack up

    Jump

  • I know this is a little OT, but I repaired a dead Karcher pressure washer this weekend... a little effort and I'm much more likely to purchase / recommend them in the future.

    If the manufacturer's grip is too tight, I'm going elsewhere - and I'll be more loyal to them

  • Just to add to this, the price doesn't highlight the Total Cost of Ownership well...

    My Fairphone 3+ has been getting updates for years and I also bought a replacement battery (at the same time I bought the phone) to ensure that it lasts for many more years to come.

    And I'm SIM-Only, so not paying longterm to a phone company

    Cost/Lifetime is probably lower than a mainstream phone (I'll actually do the calculation one day)

  • I've only been in a Tesla with an Uber driver, so not paid attention to it... but no indicator or wiper control?

    Jeez.

    I've had a couple of cars with automatic wipers and they're not that great... Having no controls would do my head in

  • AFAIK there's no way to format an underline in markdown.

    Anyone know of a workaround?

  • Yeah, I'll +1 Vivaldi - great tool with (mostly) useful features

    Not sure how it will do with the Chrome / Chromium v3 addon API thingie - just not looked into that at all. Hope it's not relevant

  • Microsoft announces quantum computing breakthrough with new Majorana 1 chip

    Jump

  • Not sure what to make of this, they've got the potential to put a million qubits on a chip, but there's only 8...

    And others have had quantum computers for a while now... so... 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • Audiologists raise concern over headphone use in young people

    Jump

  • Similar story here, Bose QC whilst the house next door was (basically) being demolished... I just found the headphones ate batteries faster.

    I sometimes find I'm just working with the headphones on and whatever I was listening to had stopped ages ago.

    by blocking everyday sounds such as cars beeping, there is a possibility the brain can "forget" to filter out the noise.

    Also growing up in the quiet countryside, I can say that you do not “forget” to hear sounds like cars... it's definitely the everyday background noise that's the problem.

  • Fingerprinting: Critics say Google rules put profits over privacy.

    Jump

  • It all works fine for me with ad/ tracking blockers, browser based blockers, noscript, ublock origin, etc, even geoip blocking for anything inbound

    I guess I use different sites...

  • Fingerprinting: Critics say Google rules put profits over privacy.

    Jump

  • Yep, totally agree - it's just getting awareness up.

    When I start explaining this to friends & family they give me the same blank look that I gave them when they talk about nutrition & exercise...

  • What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread

    Jump

  • Presuming you can put OpenWRT on it, it'll be fine as a single box

    IMHO, I just prefer having it all as separates and then fix / change / upgrade parts as I go - but I soon run out of places to hide them

  • What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread

    Jump

  • Is the ISP supplied box also your wifi?

    If not, IMHO I'd use the ISP equipment as a pass-through modem (if possible on that model?) and have a separate OpenWRT / pfSense firewall do all the heavy lifting for DHCP, DNS, ad blocking, etc

    Depends if you'd then need another WAP, of course

  • Meta confirms ‘Project Waterworth,’ a global subsea cable project spanning 50,000 kilometers

    Jump

  • There are already multiple cases of Russian trawlers breaking cables¸ gas pipelines, etc.

  • Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps

    Jump

  • Thanks, I was following this thread and wanted to say the same thing

    I've kept updating shops that change, new houses, parking, etc... it's great. I even used it on vacation (when the SO wasn't looking)

    My global rank is #1554 and ~#130ish in my local country, but #12 in another country I barely visit, so it shows where more people should complain less support more.

    But, I have GBs of 320k MP3s... is it worth converting to Ogg ?
