Who tf follows news about Wifi standards? I'm sure most people don't even know what their router is capable of.

baatliwala ,

USB-C is a bitch to clean, I have had multiple devices where fast charging stopped working until I cleaned out the port or held the wire in a particular angle.

baatliwala ,

Permissive licenses have their place, a reason Godot engine for games has become appealing is MIT.

baatliwala ,

I believe that still compels you to reveal your source code if you modify Godot itself and release games with that, don't quote me on that though. There's a chance studios want to create a custom implementation for in-house use.

baatliwala ,

Wut, you create animation not software using Blender

baatliwala ,

I don't have any Apple devices so I don't understand why deleting the message from one device doesn't delete it from another. What is the point of a sync in that case?

baatliwala ,

Your phone has bigger problems if it cannot take 170mb apps, this isn't the 1990s

baatliwala ,

And your way to look at things that "all apps must be 20 mb or less otherwise they are unoptimised" is better because?

baatliwala ,

They should've stuck to v0.X versioning until it's ready. Makes no sense to up to v1 if it's still in alpha/beta

baatliwala ,

Stupid headline, it's like Tim Cook saying he's not 100% sure Apple can stop batteries in their devices from exploding. You do as much as you can to prevent it but it might happen anyway because that's just how it is.

HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware (www.tomshardware.com)

On May 26, a user on HP's support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

Damn that laptop is unhinged

I mean, if they're evaluating hand written code no sane teacher is going to go "Good God this isn't a semi colon, it's a Greek question mark!"

You and one other person probably because the mini was consistently the worst selling iPhone model

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

baatliwala ,

SwiftKey is dope

baatliwala ,

Extremely ironical that they used an AI generated pie chart in the article that couldn't even distinguish the colours between choices

That's regarded

baatliwala ,

Not OP but I've accidentally fingered another key a split second before hitting enter a few times. It's not implausible.

baatliwala ,

Your bank most likely has an app on mobile. If you have Root and Xposed you can do crazy things to that app (and your phone). You don't use an app on a PC, you use their website.

baatliwala ,

It was a great feature, would allow you to follow people with similar interests and create your own custom categorised circles.

baatliwala ,

Both will probably use this as a point in a future anti competitive case against them. "See?! We can totally be friends with each other! We're definitely not going to use power to benefit only ourselves whenever we get the fucking chance to!"

Shift + right-click will override all this BS in Firefox.

Obsidian is one of those applications I sooo want to install because everyone loves it, but to me if I'm going through the pain of selfhosting I want to go FOSS only. Argh!

AI-generated content and other unfavorable practices have put longtime staple CNET on Wikipedia's blacklisted sources (www.tomshardware.com)

In the wave of AI controversies and lawsuits, CNET has been publicly admonished since it first started posting thinly-veiled AI-generated content on its site in late 2022— a scandal that has culminated in the site being demoted from Trusted to Untrusted Sources on Wikipedia....

The politically correct term for those in the cat world is "servant" or "slave".

baatliwala ,

In very basic terms - GPL means that any modifications you make to a code base and distribute to public, you need to keep the license as GPL and open source all your modifications.

Once cloud started becoming a thing, the cloud vendors went "Well ackchyually🤓, the code changes we're making are hosted on OUR server so we're not technically distributing them to the public. So fuck you we have no obligation to make them open source".

Which is why AGPL exists so even server side code needs to be public. Since the application in question here is a backend service, it'll always be used server side and so any forks need to be open source.

baatliwala ,

I never understood the appeal of Poland ball tbh

baatliwala ,

Normally a breaking change means after you apply the change it's not easy/straightforward to rollback to the older version if you want to do that for whatever reason.

For example, a new version is released and underlying database table or structure changes. You upgrade properly, and find the new version has some bugs (or you simply don't like it). If you want to use the older version again until the newer one is fixed it's not a matter of simply point to old version.

As the database structure has fundamentally changed underneath in the new version, when you put back the old version it simply doesn't understand the new structure and might stop working. You need ways to be able to make the DB structure compatible with the older application.

If the application is stable the devs might provide ways to do this. But since this is an alpha... You're on your own.

TL;DR it means the older and newer version of the application aren't strictly compatible with each other

Barely 2 years ago I noticed that people were posting porn on Insta, and it was publicly visible just because they tagged as . I don't think this is possible now, but basically corporations are dumb and people posting disallowed content can be creative as hell.

Vsauce, the YT shorts he puts out aren't enough

FCC to declare AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal under existing law (arstechnica.com)

Robocalls with AI voices to be regulated under Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the agency says. I'm pretty sure this puts us on the timeline where we eventually get incredible, futuristic tech, but computers and robots still sound mechanical and fake.

baatliwala ,

Lmao what on earth is that

Wtf is a director of subscriptions

Forget zero people/predators, I need a guarantee for zero mosquitoes and flies

Sad thing is they don't have enough pull to make people listen.

    Perfect time for Taylor to leak a nude. No one will ever know.

    And the company you work for will no longer function, so soon you won't get paid at all and cry like a bitch. What a lovely world <3

    I thought this was about FIFA

    Funniest thing I've ever seen is the docs for Nginx do the same, no http to https redirection. I mean, you would hope that the maintainers for the biggest web server in the world would be able to manage that but somehow... No they don't.

    Why do all the new TVs expect me to have a platform AS WIDE as the fucking thing?? Fucking shit!! God awful absolutely dumb thoughtless design choice (lemmy.world)

    luckily this is just a 32; i had a 70 from the same brand with the same INSANELY FUCKING STUPID STAND DESIGN that i had to find something for....literally at the most extreme edges of the thing, what the fuck is this? this is so fucking stupid, it cannot be meaningfully cheaper than a proper design and it looks fucking dumb as...

    baatliwala ,

    How do you not do research on the dimensions of anything before buying something big like a TV?

    baatliwala ,

    I use Osmand for trails in the woods, it is decently accurate in my country and also has a ton of other features
