That’s irrelevant.

The article is talking about ultra high purity quartz.

Top exporters of hamburger have nothing to do with the market for A5 Wagyu.

General Motors Quits Sharing Driving Behavior With Data Brokers After Backlash (www.nytimes.com)

The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that...

It has zero purpose as currency support, but makes great sense for money laundering. Whose wallet do you think those bitcoins will end up in?

They propped up a dictator, so they don’t deserve credit for forgiving the debt inherited by the victims.

They should pay Somalia reparations for supporting Barre’s oppression.

If you think a centralized organization governed by legalism is opaque, just wait until you see a thousand islands of anarchy.

I use Lutron Caseta which has a local hub and no cloud control. It’s the same company and I didn’t get that notice.

Wonder what’s different about the Decora switches?

If it needs someone’s cloud servers to function, you don’t really own it.

I got burned by MyQ garage doors and JuiceBox EV chargers doing a rug pull on their cloud platform.

Never buying another piece of smart home gear that doesn’t give full local control.

They only put solder where some models need connections. Your cheaper model is missing some part.

Soldering the whole board would make it defective.

I recently installed Jellyscrub via plugin and it spent a long time building BIF files. Any chance those will be seamlessly picked up by the new version if I upgrade via Docker container?

In older scams, these people are called the “touts” and earn a commission for every rube they bring in.

Recommendation for children's photos sharing

I had a child and both of our parents were in another country so wanted to keep them updated with photos and videos but refused to use social media. I have been using Back Then which, to be fair, has worked pretty well. I pay a subscription and can give access to anybody I want through their email. They then have to download an...

A bot which goes around putting the tag on every post in !foo seems like it causes more spam than discovery.

There might be value in bot-assisted tagging, but tagging its own community isn’t it.

How do I get paid as an imagination activist?

We sure get a lot of “both sides bad” around here.

Hard not to be suspicious of their motives.

What is your preferred method for backing up several TB of data?

What storage software could I run to have an archive of my personal files (a couple TB of photos) that doesn't require I keep a full local copy of all the data? I like the idea of a simple and focused tool like Syncthing, but they seem to be angling towards replication....

Are we talking personal offsite backup, or a commercial cloud service?

For cloud backups I like BackBlaze but I’ve never tried to use it as a general cloud storage drive.

deegeese ,
@deegeese@sopuli.xyz avatar

that doesn't require I keep a full local copy of all the data

So you want a local self hosted backup, but also not a full copy? So like backup only recently changed files?

deegeese ,
@deegeese@sopuli.xyz avatar

I think you just described using a NAS as primary storage.

deegeese ,
@deegeese@sopuli.xyz avatar

It’s basically a RAID + File shares like SMB.

Loads of DIY options, but I use a Synology so I don’t need to mess with anything.

Never heard of that extension. Neat idea, but seems open to abuse by bad actors on both sides.

Wish they said more about vetting reports.

Facebook does not deserve a special exemption from laws to protect children.

He’s trying to have all the ad revenue and none of the responsibility.

How can I use this technology to DL shows from my Netflix and Prime subscriptions so I can watch them offline?

There’s a bunch of shows on Amazon I’d love to “buy” if it means I could actually keep it.

That’s a weird way of bragging about understaffing leading to overwork, but I guess it explains why they can’t kick those quality issues.

Short sellers provide benefit to society by finding and shaming doomed businesses so they fail faster and don’t suck up as many resources.

They also have a proud history of uncovering outright fraud.

In business, the people complaining loudest about short sellers are emperors with no clothes.

Is It Worth The Time? XKCD 1205 updated for open source and shared tools. (lemmy.world)

People often ask why I contribute to open source projects or otherwise work on building automated tooling. They see me spending hours to automate a task or fix a bug that take seconds to do or avoid manually, in a way that the original XKCD comic says won't pay off. The disconnect seems to be that the comic and those people only...

I guess you’re OK with putting a damper on entry level positions if it protects workers who already have a job.
