Terrible, but think to all the innocent Palestinian children that lost 100% of their weight when Israel intentionally bombed hospitals and civilian homes

And let me guess, in order to get the "free" service you are forced to link a valid credit card and it will automatically renew without warning

you need to use fat32 if you want normal people to access the files

Otherwise, they will get the "You need to format the disk in drive D: before using it. Do you want to format it?" dialog, they blindly click "yes", then they will mumble to themselves "weird, he left behind a massive collection of blank drives..."

Tape isn't readable by normal people even if they found it tomorrow with a drive already configured to be used.

In 50 years good luck finding a working drive compatible with LTO4 when LTO32 is out (it's backwards compatible only with previous gen).

Unless you write on the box "here there are the keys for 100k bitcoins" they'll just trash the tape

I Just checked their website, in my European country Tesla is doing a 4000€ promotion on all cars delivered before April, probably they need the line going up for continuing scamming the shareholders (stock is at 100x actual value)

Right, it's not a genocide, they're simply killing everyone that is living in a specific region. In fact, between the dead there aren't exclusively Palestinians, but also some aid workers, volunteers from western countries and sometimes even their own kidnapped citizens. So it is not strictly a dictionary definition of genocide, rather a "mass murdering of the population".

In fact, I don't see why they're paying billions to Google to place AI on weapons when the algorithms seems to be like "hospital = target" and "if it moves = target"

That's "useful" when you can effectively only use it for Baidu, rednote, TikTok (the local version that's isolated from the rest of the world) and WeChat

I learned that I can't rely on someone else's recipes: in my case it was abandoned/badly configured unraid apps. I now exclusively use a docker compose yml where i control and tag specific versions. I intentionally stay behind 2 versions on nextcloud (stable = alpha; oldstable = beta), and for databases i stay on the LTS. Then i import the calendar from endoflife.date in my calendar app to see if i have to move the target up a bit.

Every once in a while i go there and i update manually everything

4x is way far compared to 100x

the only case where hdds have a 100x ratio, is where apple scams their customers offering a 256gb upgrade for $200: it means $800 per terabyte (this price was a scam even 15 years ago), and a $500 18tb HDD is 100x "apple platinum grade ssd"

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

100x ? Did you sleep for 15 years?

A 2tb SATA SSD has a comparable price to a 4tb SATA SSD.

If it wasn't for the Al bubble the prices would be even lower

yes, they say (weirdly only in italian and not in any other language) that the departure board can be accessed via their chatbot on whatsapp

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 30 points 4 days ago (11 children)
 

ads instead of useful info

It rotates and after some minutes shows the departure times. But if you're in hurry you want the time immediately, not after a while

 

Even if the ducks killed weren't from a protected species, anyone in Italy is required to have a hunting permit, even on private lands. This permit is almost impossible to get for a foreigner because it's an exam with a lot of extremely specific questions in Italian

 

There's a new snapshot button in the web ui but then... how to access them? And with snapshot it looks like "differential save state" and not full backup, right?

I was unable to find any kind of documentation on this

 

While in the past doing a reprint of a book, movie or game was expensive and wasn't worth if something wasn't popular, now selling something on a digital store has only a small initial cost (writing descriptions and graphics) and after that there's nothing more. So why publishers are giving up on free money?

I thought to those delisting reasons:

  1. Artificial scarcity. The publisher wants to artificially drive more sales by saying that's a limited time sale. For example that collection that included sm64. super Mario Galaxy and super Mario sunshine on switch. The greedy publisher essentially said "you only have 6 months to get this game, act now" and people immediately acted like "wow, better pay $60 for this collection of 3 old games, otherwise they'll be gone forever!” otherwise they would have been like "uhm, i liked super Mario sunshine but $60 for a 20 years old game? I'll think about that"

  2. Rights issues. For books the translation rights are often granted for a limited time; same for music in games; or if it's using a certain third party intellectual property. Publisher might decide that the cost for renewing the license is too high compared to projected sales, while the copyright owner instead still wants an unrealistic amount of money in a lump sum instead of just royalties. Example is Capcom DuckTales remastered, delisted because Disney is Disney.

  3. Not worth their time. Those sales need to be reported to governments to pay taxes and for a few sales, small publishers might prefer to close business rather to pay all the accounting overhead. Who's going to buy Microsoft Encarta 99?

  4. Controversial content: there are many instances of something that was funny decades ago but now is unacceptable. Publisher doesn't want to be associated with that anymore

  5. Compatibility issues. That game relied on a specific Windows XP quirk, assumed to always run as admin, writing their saves on system32, and doesn't work on anything newer. The code has been lost and they fired all the devs two weeks after the launch, so they're unable to patch it.

In all those cases (maybe except 5), the publisher and the copyright owners decided together to give up their product, so it should be legally allowed to pirate those products.

If I want to read a book that has been pulled from digital stores and is out of print, the only way to do is:

  1. Piracy (publisher gets $0 from me)
  2. Library (publisher gets $0 from me)
  3. Buying it from an ebay scalper that has a "near mint" edition for $100 (publisher gets $0 from me)

And say that I really want to play super Mario sunshine. Now the only way is to buy it used, even if they ported it to their latest game console and it would literally cost them nothing to continue selling it. But if I buy it used, Nintendo gets the exact same amount of money that they would if I downloaded it with an "illegal" torrent.

In short: they don't want the money for their IP? Then people that want to enjoy that IP should be legally allowed to get it for free

I have one code for this https://www.gog.com/en/game/duck_paradox

someone has better reflex than mine and wants to play this?

 

In my (European) country now we can have a digital copy of the driving license on the phone. It specifically says that it's valid to be presented to law enforcement officers during a check.

I saw amazed in the beginning. They went from limited beta testing to full scale nationwide launch in just two months. Unbelievable. And I even thought "wow this is so convenient I won't need to take the wallet with me anymore". I installed the government app and signed up with my government id and I got my digital driving license.

Then yesterday I got stopped by a random roadblock check and police asked me my id card. I was eager to immediately try the new app and show them the digital version, but then because music was playing via Bluetooth and I didn't want to pause it, i just gave the real one.

They took it and went back to their patrol for a full five minutes while they were doing background checks on me.

That means if I used the digital version, they would had unlimited access to all my digital life. Photos, emails, chats, from decades ago.

What are you are going to do, you expect that they just scan the qr code on the window, but they take the phone from your hand. Are you going to complain raising doubts? Or even say "wait I pin the app with a lock so you can't see the content?"

"I have nothing to hide" but surely when searching for some keywords something is going to pop-up. Maybe you did some ironic statement and now they want to know more about that.

And this is a godsend for the secret services. They no longer need to buy zero day exploits for infecting their targets, they can just cosplay as a patrol and have the victim hand the unlocked phone, for easy malware installation

Immediately uninstalled the government app, went back to traditional documents.

 

and because i'm a lazy ass i didn't read the specs but just read the search engine result.

I also assumed that because 6 years ago i bought a $50 hp envy and it had wifi, this much expensive one is also going to have it

Result: that $250 printer doesn't actually have wifi

 

There's a certain "people's republic" where they introduced a new government signature on all android apps. For "safety", as they "check" the apps for you 😉

more of this ICP scam

For now it can be bypassed after three pages of scary warnings but in the future?

Maybe it could be a big reason of why they're liking harmony os that much, you don't need to manually approve android apps if android apps are completely unsupported

 

I hate this scale, it says low battery and shuts off after just 3 months of sitting in the drawer. It infuriates me that there's still a lot of energy in the battery, I can use that in remote controls with no issues

If there's enough battery to say "low battery", then there's enough battery to show the measurements!

 

I went to install gsam battery monitor on a new phone and it looks like it has been delisted recently.

Does anyone has more info on that? It was a staple on my phones since almost a decade...

Any alternative that shows a graph with rate of charge/discharge?
