I agree - I do use passphrases in some critical cases which I don't want to store in a password manager.

However, I believe passphrases are theoretically more susceptible to sophisticated dictionary type attacks, but you can easily mitigate it by using some less-common 1337speak character replacements.

Highly recommend a password manager though - it's much easier to remember one or two complex master keyring passwords & the random generated passwords will easily satisfy any application's complexity requirements.

I bet they do.

I've learned that the best way to get printers to work universally is to buy a printer with ipp support & force a static IP / DHCP reservation. Seems to universally work with every OS I use in my home with no bloaty drivers.

I've had some pretty great experience with my Brother multifunction printer / scanner on my Ubuntu server, but never played with Arch.

Best part about Brother's scanner driver is that it literally just runs a shell script you can modify. I have it set up such that I can scan to PDF from the printer & it will programmatically drop it into my samba share, despite the fact that my printer is not expensive enough to come with the "scan to nas" feature in firmware.

I could be optimistic and say it's a Porsche engine!

That's the ticket, IMO. I start off assuming they know, then pause to ask "are you familiar with x concept?"

If they say yes and they really mean no, there's really not a lot I can do. But it seems to make people feel at ease when talking to me - I don't get called out for over explaining or infantalizing people this way.

Yes - this photo is pointing out that it's not the responsibility of that black man to be nice to you and drive you out of racism.

Would it help? Probably. But it's not that person's responsibility to prevent you from being radicalized. It's on you and on us as a collective.

You don't feel like you have to be nice or every white person that person runs into will always be seen as shitty - our non-white friends shouldn't have to bear that responsibility either.

How's this title look?

It certainly looks like packages are scheduled to go out today - that lines up with the "12th-13th" estimate google gave me for ground shipping. Maybe they delay shipping for Expedited customers, though.

I don't have a trade in, so I only have the one package (and my Google store page says it's all arriving in one package). My FedEx account updated almost exactly the same time I got my email, so I got no advanced notice either.

I suspect you'll have to wait for Google to send you the "shipped" email in order to confirm your package is actually scheduled to be shipped.

I'm not sure what I've done differently, but my under screen reader on my 6 pro is more reliable than the back reader on my pixel 3.

Obviously my one data point doesn't negate the vast swathes of people who do have issues, but for me I may not even elect to use face unlock. Seems unnecessarily insecure.

Sorry! My messaging was off - not intending this to be an LTT dish fest.

While this specs sheet does imply an unchanged sensor, both LTT's video and XDA's article linked in this comment below suggest a new (or at least updated) sensor, rather than just a lens change.

Just trying to start conversation about what seems to be still an unclear detail. Didn't mean to start a flame war!

Sorry! My messaging was off here. I'm not intending to dish on LTT here, but actually infer that the new Pixels may actually get the long-rumored Samsung GN2 camera sensor, despite recent leaks claiming otherwise.

See my comment here for corroborating evidence: https://lemmy.world/comment/4158522

In statistics, everything is based off probability / likelihood - even binary yes or no decisions. For example, you might say "this predictive algorithm must be at least 95% statistically confident of an answer, else you default to unknown or another safe answer".

What this likely means is only 26% of the answers were confident enough to say "yes" (because falsely accusing somebody of cheating is much worse than giving the benefit of the doubt) and were correct.

There is likely a large portion of answers which could have been predicted correctly if the company was willing to chance more false positives (potentially getting studings mistakenly expelled).
