  • Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.

    Jump

  • Fakespot has always felt inaccurate to me. Once every 6 months or so I gave it a go to see if any of the updates have improved it but it never felt like it did to me.

    Furthermore, I don't see the point in Fakespot since Amazon bends over backwards to accept returns for any reason.

  • Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android

  • The only issue with projects like LineageOS is that the camera usually sucks because the full fat camera driver isn't released to the public, it's only the basic driver. The camera can still take photos but all of the features you've become accustomed to are not there. This was my experience and what the LineageOS team said during the Samsung S5-S8 days.

  • Killed it, as in they were awesome and won, or as in unalived. The quote by itself could mean either.

  • Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issues

    Jump

  • I pulled some data off some old Samsung 1TB SSDs that werent powered for 3-4 years without an issue either. I guess they were SLC based on what others are saying.

    I guess it's a your mileage may vary situation depending on the exact drive you purchase and probably other factors too.

  • TIL you can ask Google to blur your house out on Google Maps

  • Let's not forget anyone can fly light weight quadcopters and planes with cameras on them within the boundaries of private property. Most aviation authorities around the world are in control of air space, and that air space in most countries starts a micron above the ground. And therefore it's perfectly legal for anyone to fly something within the boundaries of your property. Now you could get into trouble for being a peeping Tom, aggravation, etc depending on the circumstance. But nothing can be done if someone was to do a quick fly over.

    In my opinion blurring out street view only protects you against the 'script kiddies' of the stalking/spying world.

    One thing about blurring in street view. Once it's done, it cannot be undone. So I'd have consideration for others before going ahead with making a request.

    Corporate sponsored social media.

  • My submission history looks the same, but I'm not posting about anything political.

    I've given up on Reddit. I only lurk on it these days and that's only when Lemmy feels a little stale.

  • How Three Alleged Tesla Vandals Got Caught

    Jump

  • Burn the Tesla with the phone, gotcha

  • I believe that the "Nicole" images being sent to Threadiverse users may be intending to deanonymize accounts

    Jump

  • It could be reasonably innocent. Eg. A student doing a study Lemmy and wants to see where the user base is roughly located. Since Lemmy has many privacy focused people on the platform, I doubt they would get many responses on a survey.

  • Why Lemmy is so superior to Reddit: No Karma, Just Value Content

    Jump

  • I call that negative karma. Low karma is 0-200. 200 because that is a limit that at least some subs would use to limit new accounts from posting.

  • Why Lemmy is so superior to Reddit: No Karma, Just Value Content

    Jump

  • I'd argue that low karma accounts tend to be new people or lurkers.

  • What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday!

    Jump

  • Search for trash guides and servarr. Both have websites that are detailed in how to set up all of the arrs apps in what ever fashion you want. I think both have Discord servers too.

  • AI search engines give incorrect answers at an alarming 60% rate, study says

    Jump

  • To me it seems the title is misleading as the research is very narrowly scoped. They provided news excerts to the LLMs and asked for the title, the author, the publication date, and the URL. Is this something people do? I would be interested if they used some real world examples.

  • What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread

    Jump

  • Could you set a 'password' on the uploads? So the server will only accept and start the upload if the password is present. The password is a passphrase to make it easy to type in.

  • China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds

    Jump

  • You and I have completely different views and experiences on this, as I don't agree with your statement at all; which is why I think you've misunderstood.

  • China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds

    Jump

  • RIP. I guess you live in the back end of no where.

  • China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds

    Jump

  • I think you've misread my comment or there is some misunderstanding.

    Just in case, it's a misread, my speed is 40 Mega bit per second - not 40 mega byte per second.

    I have to choose what I want to do and do those things with consideration, otherwise things like streaming will buffer a lot.

    If you thought I said 40MBps, then I'd agree, as i imagine the difference between 320Mbps and 1Gbps won't be noticed unless you're timing large downloads.

  • China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds

    Jump

  • I have a 40Mbps down, 5Mbps up connection for $30. Consider yourself as real lucky.

  • How do you keep up?

    Jump

  • Depends on your stance on risk since WatchTower has to run as privileged

  • Googling Is for Old People. That’s a Problem for Google.
