  • AI labels to be compulsory on authentic-looking content under EU rules

    Jump

  • I have a feeling that this will backfire. There will obviously still be a lot of unlabeled AI content made in/by foreign nations and local models, and since AI content is supposed to be labeled, people will be less cautious and more easily fooled by it.

  • Building an Open-Source Robot Vacuum — Meet OOMWOO

    Jump

  • I don't see that as a problem. A vacuum cleaner isn't critical infrastructure and shouldn't be connected to the internet, so no security concerns. Worst case scenario it ruins your carpet. Majority of the work here will be done on hardware side it seems.

  • Why protect the children from rape gangs and stabbings when you can protect them from youtube and tiktok instead.

  • Probably a way to lower initial cost for new customers. $400 or however much it is, is a hefty ask before you even tried the service.

  • Question: What are some alternatives to a Raspberry Pi good for a small home server?

    Jump

  • If you dont need an sbc or something arm based mini pcs/thin clients/laptops work well. I run redlib, yamtrack and a monero node on hp t630 w/ 16GB ram (bought before the rampocalypse for ~ $60) and a torrent seedbox/streaming nas on wyse 3040 (~$10). Here's a great website about thin clients https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/hware/hardware.shtml

  • All new laptops must have USB-C to be sold in the European Union(EU)

    Jump

  • So the shape of the plug is the same for all devices regardless of the spec... doesn't it just make things more confusing for non techies? I can already see people saying their new laptop is broken because their 5v 0.67A power brick won't charge it, or buying a USB-c charger just to find out it doesn't work. A lot of aftermarket chargers claim to support up to 120W etc. Except they mean 120W is a sum of all ports for a 6 port charger so really it's only 20W. For techies it can get annoying too if you like to play with hardware. You can just feed appropriate voltage DC over those barrel connectors, for example from a car battery with a buck converter or AA/18650 in series and it will work while usb-c charging needs to be negotiated.

  • European Union finds PornHub, Stripchat, XNXX and XVideos in breach of the Digital Services Act for allowing minors to access their services

  • That's why we need decentralized infrastructure like a meshnet or personal/community satellite network. Reticulum based networks are imo the best candidates for that, right now and in the foreseeable future.

  • https://vpn.simplifiedprivacy.com/ has a $1/month sub and you can pair it with their https://hydraveil.net/ tool for compartmentalization. Some of their servers are run by known members of the monero community like trusted vendors or market admins. You can also get shared/resold accounts for big vpn companies on https://xmrbazaar.com/ (for example 2 years of PIA for $15 from a trusted vendor https://xmrbazaar.com/listing/xEM5/) or rent a DMCA ignored VPS with monero and set up your own VPN for $7-12/year, you won't exactly hide in the crowd that way but it's better than nothing and should thwart ISP related annoyances.

  • I'm not trying to give unsolicited advice but you can get a VPN subscription for 1$/month and put it on your router to get your whole house covered. Seems like a small price to pay for extra privacy and less ISP related headaches. ProtonVPN offers an unlimited bandwidth free tier too.

  • Replacing broken displays will cost them less than paying someone to swap labels by hand, and if it does become even mildly annoying to them you will be caught and have the book thrown at you. If you are gonna break the law you might as well do something more productive than generating tax write offs.
