The sad thing is that there is a huge amount that could be done for global warming with some basic legislation around contrails. Clouds that high in the atmosphere are quite bad in terms of greenhouse effect. By avoiding flying through areas that they’d be generated there’s a surprisingly large environmental benefit for minimal cost. A good explainer: https://youtu.be/QoOVqQ5sa08

These attacks are more around the encryption and all require a fully malicious server. It sounds like Bitwarden is taking these seriously and personally I’d still strongly prefer it to any closed source solution where there could be many more unknown but undiscovered security concerns.
Using a local solution is always most secure, but imo you should first ask yourself if you trust your own security practices and whether you have sufficient hardware redundancy to be actually better. I managed to lose the private key to some Bitcoin about a decade ago due to trying to be clever with encryption and local redundant copies.
Further, with the prevalence of 2FA even if their server was somehow fully compromised as long as you use a different authenticator app than Bitwarden you’re not at major risk anyways. With how poorly the average person manages their password security this hurdle alone is likely enough to stop all but attacks targeted specifically at you as an individual.
On Android Newpipe has the best UI in my opinion.
18hr of battery with the display off is a killer, and even if you could get an m.2 modem working in it m.2 modems tend to be far less efficient than the ones integrated to cell phone hardware. At least if my experience with Quectel and Sierra m.2 modems is representative of other brands.
Indeed it’s misleading wording but credit where credit is due, this is far better than turning them all into e-waste. It’s not like anyone bought these with the assumption they would have any sort of official API someday, especially after seeing how Sonos handled their similar situation…
Full Windows 8.1 thanks to Intel’s x86 tablet push at the time.
Windows RT never made it to any other devices besides the Surface RT iirc and was pretty much an immediate failure.
They made so many terrible Windows 8.1 tablets which they had to support. I used one of these with an atom z3735f and 2GB of RAM as my only Windows computer for a long time, and Windows 8.1 was completely smooth on it despite the anemic hardware. Some even cheaper tablets and mini PCs released with 1GB RAM and 16GB emmc yet somehow also were also able to run Windows 8.1 okay.
This is almost certainly US Mobile. They have some really interesting plans at surprisingly reasonable prices. But ultimately if you just want the cheapest cell service then they’re not the carrier for you.
All web browsers are nearly unusable with 4gb of RAM lately. Even with desktop Linux I usually have nearly my full 8gb used. With 8gb AND Windows it’s only a matter of time before these computers become unusable…
Company computers often come with pre-installed spyware which is notoriously RAM hungry. My company laptop immediately after boot uses nearly a full 16gb before you open any programs. Luckily our IT department realizes this and only allows us to purchase machines with 32GB and up. They’re probably not happy with the current prices, but being a F500 company they can afford it…
The unfortunate part for DIY PC is that the RAM is likely all buffered ECC. And used flash is sketchy in my experience, even if you buy SLC where the whole point is supposed to be that it is more durable.
I operate my hard drives totally external to my old PC’s case with a 3D printed holder keeping them together (with a little space between each drive for ventilation). It’s a little ugly, but it lives in a closet so I don’t really care how it looks. More importantly with my old Neatgear NAS I didn’t realize just how much speed I was missing out on. I guess with a modern Synology unit with a SSD cache you’ll likely get similar performance, but it’s so convenient to be able to run Docker containers and VMs on the same machine.
I fully agree it’s worth waiting for the thrill of the deal.
The Chia crash was great. A local dude I found on Facebook marketplace bought a whole array worth of drives and never got around to even opening the packages for them.
I scored a great local deal on a PC last week, but unfortunately the only weak point of it is the 16GB of DDR5. So I guess for a while I’ll just be chilling with equal amounts of GPU and system memory. Luckily I’m not a gamer and rarely limited by the system memory.
I think a bubble pop may be closer than people think. Several F500 company CEOs are at least calling it a bubble now, but admittedly still 100% on board the AI hype train.
As someone who picks a window seat specifically for the view I agree the airline websites need to make this clearer but it’s super common to allow for air ducts in the plane. If you check the seat map on Aerolopa this is easily avoided (except when there’s an aircraft swap). Avoid SeatGuru, it’s often very outdated and even when correct for seats the window positions are incorrect.
I doubt they could get away with banning plex due to its integrated ad-supported streaming service which there are likely a few users of. But for jellyfin that same argument wouldn’t work. At least initially I suspect no self-hosted content would be blocked, as there are plenty of apps/viruses out there openly created solely for the purpose of piracy. Jellyfin isn’t the same as these as it doesn’t include links to any servers nor methods to download pirated content, even on the server side. Also it’s nowhere near as widely used as other services so it may just slip under the radar.
Not the case for me, I’ll typically spend a solid week or two tweaking things after I initially set it up to get all the hardware working perfectly, then never touch the configuration again even as things slowly start breaking with updates.
I also always call him Dear Leader. We can’t normalize these behaviors from a president, and using the “Dear Leader” title makes it unambiguously clear that his selfish actions are not presidential.
Lyft been doing this since last year too. In Chicago our group of 5 was told to have our two men seated in the back row because the driver wasn’t comfortable with men. We were confused but the driver knew the ride was requested by a woman in our group and therefore assumed the whole group for the Lyft XL would be women I guess?
