Have you ever bough an external hardrive only to take the disk out of it?

Hiya, so am looking to buy more storage and while browsing am seeing some external harddisks, such as Western Digital My Book and Seagate Expansion Desktop for cheaper than the internal harddisks themselves. Have seen this one video from KTZ Systems where he bought up multiple of these external ones just to open them up and use...

oysters?

laughterlaughter ,

It's totally inhumane but also no living thing was harmed, so - all good.

laughterlaughter ,

Ozone!

laughterlaughter ,

Don't feel bad. I love it! Thanks for finding it and sharing it.

laughterlaughter ,

There is, though.

laughterlaughter ,

I'm trying to parse your sentence. Can you use punctuation?

laughterlaughter ,

Thank you!

The "ate" tripped me up.

laughterlaughter ,

This one is my favorite!

laughterlaughter ,

Thank you!

laughterlaughter ,

This was funny, but ugh - I hate when U.S. politics creeps into my tech discussions.

laughterlaughter ,

I didn't downvote you, but I think you're assuming waaaay too much about OP's life circumstances. For al we know, he's an Argentinian teenage girl with an allowance, or a Vietnamese retired fisherman with no life savings.

laughterlaughter ,

That one is easy: do not get a new Honda.

laughterlaughter ,

I don't have to imagine, because I refuse to buy such type of car.

laughterlaughter ,

Good troll.

laughterlaughter ,

Fuck social signaling.

laughterlaughter ,

its* own switch.

laughterlaughter ,

Let's start our own company!

laughterlaughter ,

I'm almost convinced that Kagi comments on Lemmy are spam. Please prove me wrong:

Has anyone here tried Kagi because of a recommendation from here and, well, actually found it better than the rest?

laughterlaughter ,

Thank you for your insight. Much better than the usual, "oh yeah, Kagi is good. All praise Kagi!"

Your account makes it sound very appealing, so I'll check Kagi out more closely.

laughterlaughter ,

I did lol, why the hell would I recommend it otherwise?

Not directly saying that you're doing this, but c'mon, you know the answer. Why would anyone recommend a paid product?

There is a free trial and you can check out if it’s worth it for you btw

Nice! I didn't know there was a trial. Good to know.

You can also filter out the quora and other shitty websites results, which is nice

Oh, now we're talking!! That's very cool.

Windows 7 club here.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

laughterlaughter ,

"You need these updates!!!!! But they're only available with Ubuntu Pro."

So.....

laughterlaughter ,

In other words, you hide your head in the sand, like many Windows users.

laughterlaughter ,

In that case, you're contradicting yourself, because the Ubuntu "promotions" require a money exchange.

laughterlaughter ,

No, it isn't.

laughterlaughter ,

Except that it's not stupid bullshit. It's like saying "just suck it up and accept the fact that your TV will serve you ads and track you."

laughterlaughter ,

Unfortunately, yes.

X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in domain names, breaking legit URLs (mashable.com)

On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of "Twitter.com" to "X.com" automatically....

laughterlaughter ,

Interesting reasoning, but I prefer mine. I will keep calling it Twitter if only because its CEO fumes when it's being called Twitter. And I'm okay with that.

laughterlaughter ,

I hate Musk and I hate Twitter. But your comment doesn't make sense. It would be cheaper to keep the old domain name.

laughterlaughter , (edited )

Why are they your friends, then?

Edit: I should have added more context. I'm not saying you shouldn't be friends with Twitter users. I was referring to this:

They have no core values or integrity whatsoever.

I wouldn't want to be friends with someone with "no integrity whatsoever."

laughterlaughter ,

How about trademarking Alphabet?

laughterlaughter ,

The first one is X11.

laughterlaughter ,

Oh, I don't have work friends. I only have coworkers. I used to have work friends, but they rarely were there for me when I got laid off twice.

laughterlaughter ,

Oh, hehe. I get it now. "friends."

laughterlaughter ,

No, that's not what I meant, though I've updated my original comment to add more context.

OP wrote:

They have no core values or integrity whatsoever.

Well, fuck that. Don't be "friends" with people like that.

"Permission is Hereby Granted" -- MIT License text becomes viral “sad girl” piano ballad generated by AI (arstechnica.com)

On Wednesday, prompt engineer Riley Goodside tweeted an AI-generated song created with the prompt "sad girl with piano performs the text of the MIT License," and it began to circulate widely in the AI community online.

laughterlaughter ,

You're welcome!

laughterlaughter ,

No, sharing passkeys across services is way too risky. One service gets compromised, someone gets your passkey, and then they have access to all of your services. It's the same principle with regular passwords.

laughterlaughter , (edited )

Thanks. I'm still learning about this "new" technology (which already is, what, eight years?)

laughterlaughter ,

its* tool for election integrity.

Fate?

Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works (gizmodo.com)

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

laughterlaughter ,

There's people who still believe in astrology. So, yes.

laughterlaughter ,

What's NC? Got a link?

Edit: Ah, NextCloud, I'm assuming...

laughterlaughter ,

I don't understand. How does this bring you peace? Can you pay groceries with monero?

I've used Firefox mobile for a while now and I've had zero issues. The attack surface may be "much more," but that doesn't mean that it's completely open to hackers.

Plus let's be real: Gecko-based browsers are, what, 1% of the browser market? Guess which browser is the most targeted by malicious actors? Not the one having 1% of the market, that's for sure.

laughterlaughter ,

No, I use Firefox because it's an excellent browser. It doesn't fit GrapheneOS's security requirements, but then, I'm not too concerned, because it's quite secure regardless. Even to the point in which it's more annoying than Chrome for certain things (like HTST.) You're trying to paint Firefox as "easy to exploit" when that's not true. Easier doesn't mean easy. The Kremlin might be easier to sneak into than the Pentagon. But that doesn't mean it's easy. Hell, Tor uses it to build its Tor browser. They could very well use Chromium for that.

guess how much Linux has of a market share?

You're probably referring to desktop Linux. Linux is used in billions of devices all over the world, and it reigns in the server space. So, no. Not "in the single digits" usage.

laughterlaughter ,

Like, literal garbage? The one sitting in my kitchen bin?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!

laughterlaughter ,

Which is okay. I learn new things every day. I just find funny the fact that the other commenter is so fixated on the idea of "it can't be real because I never heard of it."

laughterlaughter ,

CD enthusiasts are people who…like the quality of a digital format but want to still…collect things? Dislike convenience? I’m not sure.

CDs provide quality but little else. They’re fussy, they require a physical collection, they’re easily damaged, they skip, etc. etc.

The funny thing here is that vinyls have everything you're complaining about CDs, but worse.

I can see CDs going the vinyl route in terms of enthusiasm in a couple of decades.
