I haven't seen a 2.5mm jack on a phone in a long time. I still have a 2.5 to 3.5mm adapter that I used to listen to music on my flip phone in 2006 though.

There are some sites out there that won't work. ESC Configurator won't work in Firefox because it needs web serial to program an ESC connected over a serial port. That's the only site I use that I have to run in chrome. I'm sure there are more out there, but they are not very common.

cmnybo ,

Do you really want countries like North Korea, Iran and China having access to software that would certainly be used for missile guidance?

cmnybo ,

It takes a long time to get a nuclear plant up and running. While it would be great to replace coal plants with nuclear, it wouldn't help with all of the power being wasted on AI right now.

cmnybo ,

You also get regular updates with open source firmware. Many of the ISP provided routers will never see an update.

cmnybo ,

This will probably just make peer to peer messaging apps more popular.

cmnybo ,

If you are worried about that, then don't look behind the panel on any computers with a wire wrapped backplane.

cmnybo ,

The problem is the average person is not going to know how to properly secure whatever they are hosting.

cmnybo ,

They should require it to be disclosed for any ads.

cmnybo ,

If you use Firefox, you can transfer tabs between your phone and computer.

cmnybo ,

Apple hardware is overpriced and they go out of their way to make it unrepairable.

cmnybo ,

The quality of Google search results has been rapidly declining over the last few years. It's not really even worth using anymore.

cmnybo ,

And of course those expensive chargers will become bricks when the company goes out of business or just decides to stop supporting them.

cmnybo ,

They can reduce the price as much as they want, but I still won't pay for it until they get rid of the DRM.

cmnybo ,

I prefer OSM since I can use the maps offline. Google maps is useless out in the middle of nowhere without any cell service.

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services (www.theguardian.com)

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

This is worse than a streaming service dropping a show. They are removing the ability to play digital files that people purchased.

Microsoft is testing Game Pass ads on the Windows 11 Settings homepage (www.ghacks.net)

Microsoft's announcement: "We are introducing a new Game Pass recommendation card on the Settings homepage. The Game Pass recommendation card on Settings Homepage will be shown to you if you actively play games on your PC. As a reminder – the Settings homepage will be shown only on the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 and...

cmnybo ,

You can install any Linux distro other than Ubuntu if you don't want ads in your operating system.

cmnybo ,

When the memory is shared with the GPU, bandwidth becomes much more important. A desktop will just use a dedicated GPU if it needs the performance.

cmnybo ,

I don't care if it's a human or a bot trying to sell me something because my ad blocker will make sure I don't even see it.

cmnybo ,

Batteries degrade with age too. It would probably have to be cycled 10 times a day to get that many cycles.

cmnybo ,

It's very easy to setup a Hurricane Electric tunnel and you get an entire /48 for free. The only downside is that it doesn't work over CGNAT.

It looks like IPv6rs is using WireGuard, so it can work even with CGNAT. I didn't see any mention of what size allocation they hand out though.

cmnybo ,

Whoever buys it will most likely just part it out and sell it on ebay.

cmnybo ,

At that price, the hardware will be ancient and you will spend more on electricity in a year than you spent on the server.

cmnybo ,

I've been using snapshots for a couple of years. So far I've only had to restore a snapshot once, but it and it worked fine. The snapshots are created almost instantly and they don't use much disk space unless a lot of stuff has been changed.

FCC Imposes Nearly $200 Million in Fines on US Wireless Carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon) for Illegal Location Data Sharing (neuters.de)

The carriers sold "real-time location information to data aggregators, allowing this highly sensitive data to wind up in the hands of bail-bond companies, bounty hunters, and other shady actors," FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement....

cmnybo ,

OK, now give them a fine that will actually hurt.

cmnybo ,

I'm surprised that the Pi can even run Stable Diffusion.

    Was it an actual zip file that managed to exploit some vulnerability in the program that opened it or was it something like "filename.zip.exe" and windows hid the .exe part?

    cmnybo ,

    Nintendo has been on my shitlist for a long time. They will never see a single cent from me either.

    cmnybo ,

    What's the accuracy? About 50% AKA random chance?

    cmnybo ,

    Never connect a smart TV to the internet. Always buy them from a store with a good return policy. If it doesn't work without an internet connection, then return it.

    cmnybo ,

    Fines should be a percentage of annual revenue, not a fixed dollar amount. That way it will hurt a large company just as much as it would a small one.

    cmnybo ,

    Apple products are crap, but pretty much all wireless earbuds have the same problem. Even if the batteries are easily replaceable, the ear buds are likely to get lost since there is no cord to catch them when they fall out of your ears.

    cmnybo ,

    I certainly wouldn't want pay the power bill from leaving a bunch of these running 24/7, but would work fine if you wanted to learn cluster computing.

    You could always load them up with a bunch of classic games and get all your friends over for a LAN party.

    cmnybo ,

    My IPv4 connection uses CGNAT, so I use a VPN to access my server. I also have IPv6, so I have a couple of things directly accessible over it in case the VPN drops for some reason. I do have dynamic DNS set up, although it's not really necessary. My IPv6 prefix doesn't seem to change unless I change the DUID on my firewall.

    [Question] TV consumption SBC's

    A few years ago I turned a pine64 rock64 SBC into a kodi box, and saw immediate performance improvement over the stock Roku chip on my TCL TV when streaming from SMB. As always "better" becomes... ehhhhh I want more. I want to stick with an SBC because of power consumption on a box that I'm going to leave running 24/7. So my...

    One of those cheap Chinese mini PCs with an Intel N100 will give very good performance while drawing about 5 watts at idle.

    cmnybo ,

    You can usually find the solution to Linux problems on the forum for your distro.

    With windows problems, the answer is usually "nothing can be done unless microsoft actually decides to fix it". That's after digging through 10 or more pages of search results filled with AI generated crap.

    cmnybo ,

    That's going to get them a lot of complaints about choppy playback and high battery usage from anyone without a hardware AV1 decoder.

    They should only enable it by default if the device has a hardware AV1 decoder.

    cmnybo ,

    I just ordered a few before the price goes way up in case I ever want to build anything with them.

    Reddit Is Taking Over Google (tech.slashdot.org)

    Reddit, Quora, and other internet forums that have climbed up through the traditional set of Google links. Data analysis from Semrush, which predicts traffic based on search ranking, shows that traffic to Reddit has climbed at an impressive clip since August 2023. Semrush estimated that Reddit had over 132 million visitors in...

    cmnybo ,

    How many of those new visitors were actually human though?

    cmnybo ,

    You should always assume anything generated by AI is bullshit until you verify it.

    cmnybo ,

    An extra $100 takes you from 8GB to 64GB on a PC if you install it yourself.

    cmnybo ,

    A pihole, pfblocker, or adguard setup is helpful for additional ad blocking. Some stuff still gets through ublock and gets blocked by my firewall.

    cmnybo ,

    I haven't seen an anti adblocker popup on youtube for a couple months now, I though they gave up. It looks like the uBlock developers and block list maintainers are just doing an excellent job staying ahead of whatever youtube is doing.

    cmnybo ,

    There shouldn't be any data caps on wired connections, especially fiber.

    cmnybo ,

    If these lasers can be made to emit blue light, they could be used as a light source for portable projectors.

    cmnybo ,

    I've never had that happen on Linux. There can be issues if you install a new driver and don't reboot though.

    cmnybo ,

    It became pretty common even on higher end laptops when they switched to DDR5, but some manufacturers are starting to go back to socketed RAM.

    cmnybo ,

    Most digital voice modes fit in a 12.5kHz channel. LoRa would need 10 times that for the same bitrate. It certainly wouldn't be practical on the 70cm band, but it could be doable on 33cm if you are somewhere where there isn't a bunch of unlicensed users cluttering up the band.
