If Prometheus stole fire to give to humans. Why was he in trouble? Because could not Zeus lightning strikes on earth create fire? Kind of seems like punishing a person for doing what you do. in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Prometheus gave the humans the ability to make use of fire, while Zeus only gave the humans a lightning strike which wouldn't be usable.

Why even have a box at this point? Just put the phone in the mail by itself, it's durable right?

Pirate IPTV Arrests in Sweden Should Include Users, Rightsholders Tell Govt. in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Hopefully the government realizes that the loss of profit from piracy is usually zero, because the people downloading usually won't even buy the game

My wife has an iPhone. I have a Samsung S23. Why do videos she texts me look like super low res shit?? Can iPhones not text videos? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Apple doesn't do RCS. This should be changing soon, but for now you should be using another messaging app, because everything you send is unencrypted and shittier quality

Not a bad idea, especially considering how it's so easy to stream fights, it might as well be free.

Ok this is pretty cool, I just don't know if I would trust it yet. I was actually thinking about the concept a bit ago, that I really don't know what I'm taking if my doctor prescribes something to me... I do really like the concept, though.

I know I can spoof my useragent, it's just ridiculous that such a massive app doesn't support an equally massive browser.

Older intel mac won't power on at all (self.mac)
submitted 5 months ago by potentiallynotfelix to c/mac@lemmy.ml

I've got a pretty old macbook pro, I would assume it's intel. I'd installed refind and debian on it then just left it for a while. No damage that I know of, but I did move houses. Now, I plug it in and the power cord shows green, and the battery indicator shows blinking fully bars. I have tried all the keyboard things to reset, but no luck. Is this thing fucked, or are there any possible solutions? Thanks for the help guys!

Help me find info about a specific CMF watch issue (self.nothing)
submitted 5 months ago by potentiallynotfelix to c/nothing
2 comments fedilink

So I distinctly recall reading a reddit thread where someone woke up with someone else's photo on their cmf watch's custom watch face. I remember a few other people saying they had the same issue, and that's about it. I have tried pretty exhaustively to find that thread, or even any information about the issue, but I just can't seem to find anything. Does anybody remember this, or have any more info? Thanks a lot!

Just Cause 4 only runs well with Lutris (self.linux_gaming)
submitted 5 months ago by potentiallynotfelix to c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml
6 comments fedilink

As the title says, I want to play the Epic Games version of Just Cause 4. I have got the same version of wine as the version Lutris uses - wine-ge-8.26 - and I've copied the wine prefix to get the same files exactly. I run Just Cause 4, and on Lutris is runs at an easy 60fps on High, but from the CLI it runs at about 20fps on Low. Anyone have an idea for why this happens?
