  • Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops

    Jump

  • I would be curious to see how often people actually upgrade their frameworks.

    For me, I've upgraded my mainboard to a newer CPU generation for better integrated graphics (old one is in a case as a home server) and I upgraded to their matte screen when they released those.

  • Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot

    Jump

  • Other people have good points, but even if you don't care at all about open source or MS, Github's reliability lately has been really bad. I think they've had 3 outages this month already? It's been disruptive at my workplace and we have concerns about how we'd deploy a fix if we had an outage at the same time (since our deploys are automated using GH Actions).

  • I will be this old man for the rest of my life

    Jump

  • They don't need to; most developers rely on Github.

  • My thousand dollar iPhone can't do math

    Jump

  • I think you missed the point of his post. His issue is that the numeric operations the phone executes to run the LLM is producing garbage. Arguably this could break all kinds of neural networks, such as voice transcription. He's not complaining that the LLMs are themselves unable to properly perform math.

  • OnePlus update blocks downgrades and custom ROMs by blowing a fuse

    Jump

  • Sadly, at least in the North American market, Google's Pixel phones are basically the last good phones you can reliably install your own ROM on.

  • I know tons of couples that use apps that let them look up each other's location.

  • People of Lemmy: would you date a single parent?

    Jump

  • Yes. I'm gay and kind of open to having children, so a partner having children (but me not being a primary parent) could be a nice balance.

  • GitHub Actions Has a Package Manager, and It Might Be the Worst

    Jump

  • R (largely and by default) relies on CRAN, and they are extremely selective about what packages they accept, including testing new package versions against downstream packages before publishing an update, etc. That largely mitigates many of the concerns of some random 10 layer deep dependency getting swapped for something malicious.

  • Yep. My friend is an indie game developer and while his studio's next release is "Windows only" (and consoles) they are testing to make sure it runs well on the Steam Deck via Proton / will be Verified.

  • Jellyfin can't go closed source as it's a fork of Emby from before it was closed source, licensed under the GPL. They don't own that code so they can't change that license, thus the whole project is GPL. In addition, Jellyfin isn't being developed by just one company (it's all volunteers), so every new contribution is also GPL licensed, owned by each contributor. The only way Jellyfin could go closed source would be to cut out the Emby backend and for every single contributor ever to agree to change the license, or have their code cut out. In short it's not happening, and if somehow it did the project would just get forked regardless for everyone to switch to (the community did it once already!).

  • Humans suddenly gain the ability to selectively delete their memories. How do you use this ability? (if at all) How do you think society would change?

    Jump
    • You'd have a lot of scams / lies where someone is accused of doing something they don't remember doing, they wouldn't know whether they did it, and third parties wouldn't be able to evaluate reactions / cross examine the accused.
    • You'd have large corporations demanding that ex-employees forget everything proprietary, even if that would prevent you from building up skills in your career.

  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • You'd be surprised what a small team at a large corporation will do if it lets them complete a project within budget. The PlayStation 3 originally allowed users to install custom operating systems. A lot of groups, even the US military, bought thousands of them because they were inexpensive computers (sold at a loss) and used them for compute projects. Sony eventually stripped out the functionality in an update, presumably because they wanted to cut out this type of buyer.

  • US Government Urges Total Ban of Our Most Popular Wi-Fi Router

    Jump

  • Yes; it's pretty trivial to flash something like OpenWRT on them as they don't restrict what you can install whatsoever.

  • US Government Urges Total Ban of Our Most Popular Wi-Fi Router

    Jump

  • You can basically do anything in OpenWRT, and if my memory is right a mesh setup is possible too. It may not be easy to setup, but it's possible.

  • Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

    Jump

  • Better though than Framework who donate to bad open source developers. Hail big corporate! /s

    (This isn't directed at you, I'm more frustrated by the people in the Framework controvery threads who somehow thing buying Apple or Dell is a more ethical choice).

  • Shower time

    Jump

  • My shower head points at the door I need to open / close, so without some finangling if I'm outside it's off.

  • Framework supporting far-right racists?

    Jump

  • Lesson learned - companies should never support open source projects because you run the risk of pissing people off.

  • I didn't hate my Windows Phone when I had one.
