Jesus, known for lifting up crosses

Pretty sure Samsung does it to appease carriers since they sell unlocked snapdragon variants elsewhere

Lojcs ,

I'm annoyed at the words being abbreviated despite the buttons being large enough

Lojcs ,

Pretty sure this is not true. That's how apple's fingerprint scanners work. On android the fingerprint data is stored either in the tpm or a part of the storage encrypted by it.

Lojcs ,

I just corrected that, can't I without disagreeing?

Lojcs , (edited )

It doesn't send a yes/no signal it sends the fingerprint to be compared to the stored one

Do torrent clients actually check the hash? I've had borked downloads that qbittorrent showed as complete but had to be redownloaded upon a recheck before.

Last time I got domino's a single pizza was the same price as the 3 pizza menu (excluding upcharges). Maybe that's what's going on

MSI click bios has been downgraded after RMA?

Hey y'all, i recently had to rma my gs76 stealth after a hardware thing but when i got it back, my VR wouldnt work, i traced that to probably being a bios setting that got reset when the battery was removed, however, when i went into the MSI clickbios, it looked way different and i don't even have the setting im looking for...

Lojcs ,

Partial orders can also have maximums

And then put it into an os that sloppily compresses its wallpapers before displaying them

After using Linux for a while all the window animations of windows start to look jarring too

Lojcs , (edited )

Why would they call the open version 'openllama'? Isn't llama that ai model?

Edit: Thanks for the downvotes people, I'm sorry for not knowing a meme in a language that's not my native from before I was born

Lojcs , (edited )

Because it has 'llm' in it? Makes way more sense than a music player formerly known as Winamp

Edit: it seems the company that owns it rebranded itself to llama last year. Still think it's a stupid choice since nobody knows their name and everybody knows Winamp. 'freeamp' would be the logical choice

Lojcs ,

One of the biggest advantages of using Linux over windows is the lack of those endless seo sites while troubleshooting.

Lojcs ,

Everything is still far superior than plasma search and I can't imagine that gnome/other DEs get close to it neither. Fsearch is close but it needs to do a complete resacn every time you use it instead of scanning in the background like everything

Lojcs ,

Just because the government defined it that way 60 years ago when software updates weren't even a thing doesn't mean it makes sense to call a user-applicable fix a recall. It's literally in the name. Is it being re-called back to the manufacturer or not

Lojcs , (edited )

Yes, and as I said it is inaccurate. Legalese can be updated to better match the meaning of the word. Why is that such an unacceptable concept?

Edit: I'm really worked up about this. Seriously, why is changing the term that unimaginable to you people?

Lojcs ,

Where is the car being recalled to? I get that that's the word that stuck for 'critical fix' or whatever but if you don't need to bring it back that's not a recall. Call it something else.

they are installing a fix provided by the company

So the user is applying the fix? What else do you expect that to mean?

Lojcs ,

Wtf are talking about?

I'm talking about this specific word that means bringing the thing back from where it went in every context but cars.

Lojcs ,

Why cause confusion over calling software updates different things based solely on who installs it and/or how it’s installed?

Because they're different things? For the user it doesn't matter if they're both same legally, in one case they need to bring their car somewhere, in the other one they don't. If anything it's confusing to call them both a recall.

Lojcs ,

The only thing that is different in this entire process is how the remedy is applied.

And that's the thing that matters to the person who owns the car. Currently when a user sees that word they don't know what they need to do to fix it. You can have some other name encompassing both (like 'critical fix'), but if you keep recall for when that fix isn't user applicable, (and furthermore have specific names for the fixes themselves if they're user applicable) people would immediately understand

Lots of people here are disagreeing with me but I'm yet to see an argument about why that shouldn't be the case other than that it currently isn't. But even that's an argument for why changing the term would be difficult, not for why calling every fix 'recall' makes sense.

Lojcs ,

I'm sorry for wanting things to mean what they mean

Lojcs ,

If it's being done remotely it is not recalled, that's my entire point.

Most of my bother comes from how people are reacting with kneejerk appeals to the status quo instead of actually responding to what I (and others) wrote, think of me what you will

Lojcs ,

Aren't intels laptop chips a different architecture

Lojcs ,

Am I weird for not reading the question and thinking this was about a cool single drop of blood needle gizmo

Lojcs ,

Fuckers patented the concept of a user interface device sending / receiving multiple streams of data at once?? Rgb keyboard/mouses, headphones with buttons on them.. so many things fall under that category.

It's incredible how broad the patent is. It's not about an implementation, as far as I can tell it doesn't even need to transmit the input it receives. By a stretch any display, multi channel audio setup or even the power button of a computer with a light on it would qualify.

Do they just let people write whatever they want on patents??

Lojcs , (edited )

Isn't that how fdroid worked for a long time?

Edit: although it doesn't make sense to me for play store to do the same without the source code available

Edit 2:

The reason is that they forced new apps AND apps for Android TV to use App Bundles
https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle
This type of release cannot be installed as it but can be used to generate the apk files. In order to do so, the Play Store has to sign on the fly.

Not buying it. They could let the dev sign evey combination before uploading. They'll be caching them anyways

Lojcs ,

The equivalent of a 20-30 character random password with numbers and characters is a 7-11 word passphrase. Seeing how passphrase generators default to 4-5 words (equivalent to 11-14 characters) what you did isn't so bad

That website doesn't even display the text in chromium based browsers for me

Apple to allow iOS app downloads direct from websites in the EU (with restrictions), in compliance with the Digital Markets Act (www.pcmag.com)

Developers interested in distributing iOS apps on their websites also have to cross a high bar. This includes being registered or incorporated in the EU, being a member of “good standing in the Apple Developer Program for two continuous years or more,” and having an app that received “more than one million first annual...

Lojcs ,

So they want developers to pay for the privilege of paying for their app's download hosting?

I really hope someone in the EU is getting as pissed at this as I am.

Lojcs OP ,

There are other empty spots without solder on them tho

Lojcs OP ,

Sorry. I just cropped from the picture asus had on their website

Lojcs OP , (edited )

No I mean there are other marked spots with connections coming to them that are empty but devoid of solder. If they were coating everything in one go those would be coated too, no?

Edit: nvm

Lojcs OP ,

That's not the problem, there are other 'missing' components on the board too but since there's no solder in their place they're not alarming. The problem is that this particular spot looks like there was supposed to be something on there

Lojcs OP ,

Hm didn't realize the ground could be a seperate connector that other chips don't need. Ig that explains that

Lojcs ,

Even if it's not more secure it's extra effort nevertheless. But as you said even without that it still removes an entire vector of attack

Lojcs ,

How would they even detect that? Blacklist common alias providers?

Lojcs ,

Wouldn't that ban self hosted email period?

Lojcs ,

I thought they'd use the same code as windows to interface the card and the issue was with exposing that in a linux-compatible way?

Lojcs ,

You need to set some environment variable I think, and the app needs look for and obey it. Search ozone
