It really whips the llama's ass

Regardless of OS, I'd like to see actual user numbers with stats like this because a percentage oversimplifies the landscape.

Have people moved away from (uninstalled) Windows 11 or have people just bought computers with a different OS/older version of Windows on it. To me, these tell a different tale.

Aegis does automatic backups. I guess you didn't turn it on?

The penguin is dead 😂

I spelled your username wrong. I thought the q was a g. 😂

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?

lemmyingly ,

I don't seem to have an issue with swiping on my keyboard either except for names and abbreviations/capitalisations but then all phone keyboards struggle with that except for T9 and blackberries. I think it's a small price to pay for such fast and effortlessly swiping for 99.9% of the time.

Modern Logitech mice are the same. The cheap Chinese Omron switches in the same mouse look like they're from different factories.

I have two G604 mice that I bought within a couple of months of each other and one of them started double clicking. So I did a button switch just like you but with Kailh reds. Each mouse had old looking Omron switches.

Open it in a browser that's not your main browser and clear your cookies afterwards. Or have a browser that automatically removes all cookies on exit.

I hate those types of cookie consent forms because they feel like a dark pattern wanting to make it as excruciating as possible just so you give in and click accept all.

I had one around 2012-2013 and it failed on me. I had issues with it throughout its life but I didn't realise it was the drive until I upgraded to a Samsung.

lemmyingly ,

I had a friend who had a SanDisk and it also failed. I also think SanDisk thumb drives suck.

I've seen many Kingston drives at work fail, which I think is interesting because their thumb drives are some of the best. Actual USB 3 speeds and built well.

lemmyingly ,

I have a friend who's in the computer repair business. He uses PNY drives because out of the hundreds he's installed, he's yet to see one come back with a faulty drive, unlike some of the other brands he's tried like Kingston. He gets the base size and base speed drives as his customers tend not to use a lot of data.

I wonder how they manage to bypass the geo-location blocks? I would if they frequently rotate their IP Addresses with fresh ones.

All communities have echo chambers, including those of Lemmy.

Steven management?

Edit: I was joking around. Since Seagal sounds very similar to seagull.

lemmyingly ,

Surprised the title didn't say, "Apple slammed for ear pods that are designed to die".

Gluing components together so it's not easy/impossible to repair is different to 'designing to die'. In my opinion designed to die suggests the ear pods will die prematurely due to intentional design decisions. Gluing components together just means that when the ear pods die, then they cannot be brought back to life and you have to replace them.

Do you take pictures with GPS tags on?

Hiya, so quickly wondering wether you have enabled this or not. Obviously it's not great for privacy, but it also seems very nice to have for image cloud solutions, so that images can be sorted based on location. Are there any good solutions for this? I'd like have it enabled, but also afraid of sharing images with sensitive...

lemmyingly ,

A lot of platforms strip out the meta data. All social media platforms and all messengers I've tried strip out the meta data. There might be some that don't?

Does the meta get stripped locally or on their servers though? I suspect locally.

I wish he didn't ramble as much as he does. Most of his videos could be a quarter of the length.

How much battery do you think this consumes? I've always thought an always on VPN set up but never tried it as I assumed it would drain the battery too quickly.

lemmyingly ,

Can you customise it down to the domain?

lemmyingly ,

Nice. I use Mullvad DNS for the same purpose.

They seem to have many different endpoints depending on what you want to block, which is customizable only down to the type of content. Ads, trackers, malware, adult content, gambling, social media.

If I understand it properly, they have 64 different endpoints for their DNS. But I'm not sure if all of these are publicly facing or if you have to be connected via their VPN service for all of them to be accessible.

When I searched for a cheap VPS I settled on IONOS's XS package (this 1€/month). It's one of the cheapest out there. Bonus is that it's a company we all recognise and can reasonably trust. And there are no weird gimmicks either; it's just straight forward.

One thing missing from this XS package compared to their other packages from IONOS is that there is no resource monitor on their web panel, which can be useful if you don't want to set up your own.

    WizFile does a good job at it too. It works differently though; WizFile just looks at your partition table of the selected drive/directory. It's super fast in all aspects but it's only a single drive/directory at a time. I think Everything is slow to index everything but is super fast when searching and works across multiple drives/directories

    WizFile is made by the same people who make WizTree and is essentially the same program, but instead of visually showing you the disk, it allows you to search.

    I'm impressed at the balanced conversations in this submission. People who are both for and against Windows and Linux. As I remember, it felt like everyone was heavily biased towards Linux and hated everything about Windows 6 months ago.

    lemmyingly ,

    Windows 10 does the exact same thing these days. I have no idea of the frequency on Windows 10 but I've seen it.

    lemmyingly ,

    I have in this past month or so on my computer. I saw it on a friend's computer 2-3 months ago too.

    lemmyingly ,

    It's all speculation at the moment.

    lemmyingly ,

    Not a single mention in the article about whether Bluetooth is turned on or off.

    Samsung has an opt in option for the Smart thing network. I guess Google will go the same route.

    Hello Veritasium enjoyer

    YouTube STEM educator. 15 million subscribers. Probably in the top 5 STEM educators on the platform.

    He released a video on the number 37 two weeks ago, with 6 million views.

    lemmyingly ,

    That's because they asked the internet for those polls. The internet thinks they're funny by picking the meme numbers. So I can understand why they chose to omit those numbers from their results.

    lemmyingly ,

    I thought I'd give you context just in case, as your question was vague. You might not have consumed YouTube and was blissfully unaware. :)

    There are only about 2000 exit nodes. I wonder how many are running on substantial hardware and internet connections.

    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....

    I'm interested in why people have hyped him up to be smart?

    I've watched a few podcasts with Elon as the guest and he comes across as average as an average person can be.

    The only thing I've seen is that he jumps at opportunities he believes will be profitable, and has leveraged what he has against partners and adversaries for his own personal gain.

    They don't block datacenters, they specifically block publicly available VPNs. It's not just Reddit that does this.

    I have a few VPSs. I can connect to them with Wireguard and browse Reddit and the other VPN blocking services without an issue.

    lemmyingly ,

    Interesting. Is it a free VPS or something? Your VPS provider most likely isn't the same company that owns the datacenter.

    My VPSs are in different parts of the world and they're in datacenters owned by different companies. My VPSs are not expensive either.

    lemmyingly ,

    Mine are about that price too. Maybe it's just luck.

    There are some free tier serverless options and such. I've never had a play as I've always feared getting a 50k bill without realising it.

    lemmyingly ,

    Do you have any reading material suggestions with usenet?

    Private trackers sound like hard work. Sounds like you pay a fee to have access to the tracker and you need to have a good upload ratio to not be kicked out.

    lemmyingly ,

    Thanks for the suggestion and the offer. Both are appreciated.

    lemmyingly ,

    It seems to be seen across all platforms.

    What I find interesting is that no one is asking about the quality of code, nor do they seem concerned about the dependencies but they do care about that one package/app/program of any size they see and don't immediately know why it's there.

    lemmyingly ,

    Hopefully you're not feeding https://globe.adsbexchange.com/

    It was an open community and then the person who ran the server sold it to a corporation for over a million dollars. I believe the community strongly dislikes the person and spun up their own website and server https://globe.airplanes.live/

    lemmyingly ,

    Adsb.fi and airplanes.live were once in the same Discord server and worked together for several months rebuilding the community when adsbexchange sold out. I believe the original plan was to create a community where no one person could sell out and rug pull all of the donated data again, but I believe the owner of adsb.fi, Samuli, decided to take his data out of the community and go solo.

    I've only heard one side of the story and so it might be biased against Samuli.

    I would join his Discord server as well but I've used all of my server slots. It's a bit ridiculous of Discord to limit the servers a person can join, especially those who pay $10 for Discord nitro.

    lemmyingly ,

    I've got nothing against the owner of adsb.fi, but the owner pulled their data out of the community and wanted to go solo... or that's the stories I've heard, which might be biased against the owner.

    lemmyingly ,

    What do people think of their hardware in general?

    I have some caddies HDD and NVMe. I think their gear is fairly mid. some aspects are quite nice but other aspects is dog water.

    lemmyingly ,

    As a comparison against Anker, the cables are thinner - almost as thin as the cheap unbranded cables. Or at least this is what my ugreen cables are like.

    lemmyingly ,

    This is what I was already comparing. Ugreen make thinner cables?

    Should I learn Docker or Podman?

    Hi, I've been thinking for a few days whether I should learn Docker or Podman. I know that Podman is more FOSS and I like it more in theory, but maybe it's better to start with docker, for which there is a lot more tutorials. On the other hand, maybe it's better to straight up learn podman when I don't know any of the two and...

    lemmyingly ,

    On the same machine I have Docker running as root and not as root. I choose which version, root-ful/root-less depending on what the container needs to do.

    I think the only advantage is that Podman runs as root-less out of the box, where with Docker you have to do a few extra steps once it's installed.

    lemmyingly ,

    I haven't experienced the missing files issue on any of the machines I use, nor have the people I know. I guess the missing files thing is when some people set up their directories in a specific unusual way.

    On a couple of machines my personal directories are in the default locations and on one machine there on a separate drive.

    lemmyingly ,

    Apparently the files were never deleted. The issue was something failed with a temp profile during the update process for some users. I don't care enough to read on it further. That's good enough in my opinion and not a reason to avoid Windows.
