Yeah, network tetris. Played that a ton, too!

Noob question, how's the lag? Playing games like Sekiro for example locally on my desktop, I can't even use a shitty controller as it comes with high latency. I imagine a solution with a game hosted in a remote server would even suffer more than just a laggy controller.

while Germany revokes their nonprofit status

For unknown reasons, and those tax authorities are pretty well know for revoking it wrongly.

Problem is, nothing prevents anyone from removing the plus part before sanding the mail. Isn't it a standard at basically any email provider?

Looks like another Have I Been Pwned, at least at a glance they're looking for email addresses, and given that you have your email with them if you're using this service they kinda do have it already

Huh. You'd think they need a reliable power supply. Is that what the money is for?

Corkyskog ,

Depends what level of "building". I have seen land bought, stripped, foundation prep work started, then all the sudden the plug is pulled.

The marketing fluff doesn't, but they actually did increase upload speeds. Mine went from 10 to 20 up. And here is the DSL reports forum thread from when this round started.

Also, they are testing larger increases. I could get 100 up today, if I had a supported modem.

So, check your actual plan and modem to see what you have now.

None that article, but check my other reply and check your plan. You may be pleased, I was.

Symfonium is great, it supports a bunch of sources and works really well. Absolutely worth supporting the dev (check his ko-fi too)!

LittleZaZa1 ,

I am very picky with my music player apps,b but symfonium is crazy good. And still get new features. Give it a try :)

Solar and battery storage to make up 81% of new U.S. electric-generating capacity in 2024

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61424

@technology

pedalmore ,

Capacity and generation are two different things. Grid operators have capacity markets that ensure peak load can be met, and incude generations assets, demand response, energy efficiency, etc. Batteries absolutely coumt as capacity so long as they are managed to do so.

wmassingham ,

The headline seems to mean 81% of generation and storage capacity. When the article talks about battery storage, it only says storage, not generation.

Well, it turns out Telenor is selling that exact model here. Maybe check your phone provider?

How are they unrepairable yourself? Are there not people online selling boards for them? Most of the time all you have to do is replace the power board or image board or one of the others if a TV dies. $100 and you gotta new TV. Is that not a thing for Vizio TVs?

comador ,
@comador@lemmy.world avatar

As per iFixit and other sites like tvserviceparts, it depends on the Vizio model. Mainstream models you can often replace the screen and even power input board, others you simply cannot without sourcing their brand though.

Example repairable model: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/VIZIO+TV+Screen+Replacement/120241

Vizio makes it 100% impossible to acquire a replacement of: buttons, bezels, control boards and input boards for intellectual property rights reasons.

In short, unlike other brands, they make it far less easy to repair either by IP restriction or by over usage of glues.

It would be nice if those fines could be used to support free software development for alternatives

wewbull ,

IIRC it wasn't the signal protocol, just the encryption methods that were shared with WhatsApp. I don't think federation was ever on the cards.
