  • TIL that one company owns Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid, Match.com and at least 40 more dating sites/apps

  • From my tests, it is full of fake bot account, bugs (my account simply vanished, twice, without reason), and moderation is basically nonexistent.

    None of my 30+ interactions was with a genuine human, all of them were crypto scams, or similar scams.

    It comes from a good idea, but god it is badly done.

  • 2027 RAM Capacity Has Reportedly Been Sold out

    Jump

  • That not how that shit is done.

    The BIOS just take care of the basics, but Windows do have an API allowing the BIOS to ask for the installation of additional drivers. That process was abused (and continue to be) by multiple hardware vendors to install spywares or adwares.Linux doesn't have that API, and just ignore such requests.

  • What a beauty!

  • Basically, yes. But test is costly, and won't be of any help other than telling me "You're a Chimera, Harry".Sure, Chimeras are more likely to get some diseases , like autoimmune one (because the immune system suddenly realizing your left kidney isn't exactly yours 😅), and depression (dunno why 😅).

    So for now I'll just deal with my naturally multicolored body hair (dark brown, some very blond patches, and some ginger bits), and move on.Now that I think about it... I'm a human calico 😆

  • Exactly. But entirely fused into one being. It happens in all species, including humans.

    I may be one, but never bothered to test for. Could also be a slight vitiligo. Dunno.

  • Generative AI Is an Engineering Disaster. A shockingly inefficient trillion-dollar project.

  • Foes it works on scanned image PDF?

  • When does upgrading you PC become a "new" PC?

    Jump

  • But you probably had to disconnect about everything, so in a way, they all became simple parts, in a way. Then, once your new mobo is connect, it becomes a new whole, a new PC.

  • When does upgrading you PC become a "new" PC?

    Jump

  • Usually I consider my PC a new PC once I change the motherboard. Everything being connected to it, if I change it, it means all my parts go back to being parts, then part of a new whole.

  • You paid me, a long-time Linux user, to use Windows 11 exclusively for a month: here’s how it went

    Jump

  • Aurora Linux (immutable KDE with auto update) on the Desktop, Fedora KDE on the laptop.

  • Made my father switch to Linux about a year ago, so far he loves it. He has the tech knowledge of an oyster, but so far it worked.

    Sure I had some convincing to do at first, but once he realized KDE is basically Windows well done without pesky ads, he was sold.

    I still have to do some work from time to time (usually through Rustdesk), but globally it works well.

    I have to admit my way of doing this was a bit underhanded (steps bellow), but it worked.

    1. Move his docs outside of the computer to a NAS. Like that no risk of loosing files. He believed for a long time files were bound to the OS (despire using OpenOffice and Libreoffice for decades), so he through that .odt made on Windows wouldn't be compatible with LibreOffice on Linux.
    2. Once W10 support had ended, didn't told him about the extension (I'm a sneaky bastard), and offered to dual boot Linux.
    3. Fumble the dualboot (oops, my bad, guess you have to use Linux for the time being, I don't have enough time to reinstall Windows 10). Who knows, maybe intentionally 😆
    4. Let him marinate about two weeks, forcing him to try Linux, helping him through Rustdesk when needed
    5. When I came back, he asked me if I could install Linux on his laptop. This time I did not fumble the dual boot, but still let Linux be the default boot option

    Fast forward almost a year, he didn't boot Windows for at least 6 months, and is pretty happy how snappy Linux is (despite how weak is computer is, he has an Athlon 3000G, paid like fifty bucks years ago, new, with 4GB of RAM, recently upgraded to 8GB with old stock I had around).

  • Hard to tell.

  • Scammers Sell Seeds for Exotic AI-Generated Flowers That Don’t Exist

    Jump

  • I test products for a major online retailer, the amount of AI generated images is too damn high! Some of these producs are so bad I just give them away once the retention period (when you cannot sell or give them) is up. But sometimes you get some pretty good surprises (like those electric insect bite healer devices, that works surprising well).

  • You might as well take a bike, that's the distance I do twice a day with my trusty electrified LPP. With a good motor you won't even feel the distance (I personally use a 85 Nm Virvolt motor).

  • Singer over here. Mine was my Grandma's and probably is at least 30 years old.

  • TIL out of all gemstones, diamonds are the most common

    Jump

  • Not exactly.

    Saphirs are Corundum of any colors exept red, because red Corundum are rubies.

    So yeah, almost all Zelda games rubies are in fact saphirs.

    Emeralds are Beryls, like aquamarines.

  • Email ownership, I give up.

    Jump

  • There is a local relay that allows to basically use ProtonMail with whatever client you want to. It's a bit more work, for sure, but it allows to use their encryption without having to install any addon on your client.

  • ProtonMail, maybe Tuta Mail.

  • Engineer turns disposable vape pen into a working web server

    Jump

  • Disposable vapes are already forbidden, at least in France, idk if it is union wide.

    But yeah, those things make no sense. The only thing with a battery that should be disposable would be fire alarm. Not because of the battery, but because the main sensor has a 10 years lifespan due to its natural deterioration.
