Ehhh there's a lot of knowledge on the websites, freely available, for anyone who wants to read. Sometimes it might seem conflicting though. But there's a community who's used to r…

Sure; it was one of many posts in xda for a cheapo mid-level Chinese device. I haven't gone through it too deeply to understand and optimize further, works fine as-is to me. https:…

I'd say that sending your photo to a someone online is even weirder. If you're friends based on hobbies, interests, then their appearance (assuming decent hygiene ofc) shouldn't ma…

My LineageOS setup used to do that; until I found that someone found a script that would adjust the memory allocation and OOM killer to more sensible values. I just have that run o…

I'm pretty sure that just a year or two ago, software engineers were saying that coding was only a small part of the job; the rest is meetings, dealing with requirements, design, t…

We had a world without the endless scroll just a decade ago. You don't need a totalitarian surveillance state to regain control over that, nor do you need perfect enforcement - jus…

No one's really stopping you from owning nothing and being happy.

In this case, the OS security restrictions should be questioned in the first place as excessive if a "backdoor" is necessary for normal function.

Even if I have my Yubikey passkey that's with my house keys, it's annoying to go grab it and connect every time I need to access something. Enabling it on GitHub was a mistake...

At least with an SMS 2FA, you can get the SIM card out and put it in another device. If you happen lose the SIM card, your phone operator will probably get you another with the sam…

Hopefully your e-mail is not tied to the passkey that you just lost.

Ladder-pulling at its best. It's also easier to swallow the fine once you've launched a successful product after pirating the books.

It's not a binary choice, but a spectrum. It depends on the scope and your own abilities - you can't turn a river around with a stick, but you can clean up your part of the lawn. K…

Unemployment frees us from labor too but it's not exactly good either, I'd rather avoid it.

it's fine it can run in circles all it wants, i just want a calm, stable life with purpose (no running an llm ain't it)

Well, couldn't it have been trained on the 2-second fold trick? Besides, it might require more precise or quick movements than a regular fold.

I have done a few - even if very amateurish, still learning, on the side, for saxophone covers. Budget was basically just transportation to the location. I don't count the price of…

Art isn't just the screenplay, or a prompt; it's the clash between reality and the intent (whether a location or practical set constraints), the individual skill of everyone involv…

Security vulnerabilities get too much credit. It's "think of the children" of the software world. Most updates don't fix any, most vulnerabilities won't get used in the real world …

While the users are not at fault, this culture has certainly turned me way more careful and deliberate about applying updates - if it's not broke, I usually don't; big corporations…

It already is illegal in some places, but there's a lot of legal antisocial behavior that we let go but that doesn't get talked about as much - like watching videos in public trans…

Certainly I'd like to have my expensive, fragile tech glasses while fixing a car, with all the potential debris about to fling.

Oh the power may remain, but at least finally the buses and subways will be free of the constant noise of someone blasting short form content or games who doesn't have headphones. …

The real winner of this 'attack' is Anthropic.

Not even power negotiation but a simple resistor would be too costly for them to implement.
