daq@lemmy.sdf.orgto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex staff leaving review on Play Store for PlexEnglish32·2 months agoIt’s relatively inexpensive and makes life much easier for people who are not tech savvy. Your position is that of an incredibly egoistic person that never had to help an older relative or dealt with an adult who doesn’t have time for random bs during an hour or so of downtime most people get in a day.
If spending hours trying to figure out which “free” streaming service had not gotten shot down today and magically has the content you want is worth less to you than a one time payment of a few bucks to plex, then you really don’t value your time.
daq@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Seattle Sets the Stage for Automatic Traffic Camera Expansion - The UrbanistEnglish83·2 months agoRed light cameras are fine as long as they work properly, but fuck the speed cams. Glad they are still illegal here.

daq@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•NVIDIA Rumored To Collaborate With DeepSeek To Develop Custom AI Chips For China; Massive Turnaround Plan For Domestic MarketsEnglish21·3 months agoSuper relevant argument that ccp allows some companies to grow before they take over. And yes, obviously nobody would do business in China if they didn’t share the profits. Hopefully nobody will ever do business again with a shithole like russia.
Except Nvidia is the third largest company in the world with a ton of existing IP that they would effectively be handing over to a country that has a history of stealing IP without any repercussions and had the resources to take advantage of that IP and make Nvidia irrelevant.
daq@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•NVIDIA Rumored To Collaborate With DeepSeek To Develop Custom AI Chips For China; Massive Turnaround Plan For Domestic MarketsEnglish42·3 months agoRight, for profit companies famously have a history of just handing themselves over to totalitarian regimes.
China has no successful companies that aren’t approved, controlled and often subsidized by the party.
daq@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•NVIDIA Rumored To Collaborate With DeepSeek To Develop Custom AI Chips For China; Massive Turnaround Plan For Domestic MarketsEnglish52·3 months agoBigger problem than tmsc is that China will just “legitimately” steal all IP and replace them with another company within a year. Moving to China is insane if you don’t plan to bend over for the party.
daq@lemmy.sdf.orgto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Dodge Chargers Now Have Pop-Up Ads at Every Stoplight... Just What Nobody Asked ForEnglish24·4 months agoAs an unfortunate owner of a Chrysler and having owned and driven a ton of other cars I can confidently say Stellantis makes the shittiest cars you can buy in US. On screen ads are just a small piece of an immense garbage island that is this shitty company.
daq@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•A new study found adaptive traffic signals powered by big data reduced peak-hour travel times by 11% in China’s 100 most congested cities – saving 31.73 million tonnes of CO₂ annually.English1·4 months agoSensors are cheap and have been around for a long time, but I’m going to guess the number one reason is the small part. Fewer cars = less traffic.
I’ve actually watched a city I visit regularly grow over about 20 years and it went from them having zero traffic to Los Angeles style traffic jams. This is despite their best efforts like making extra wide roads, using roundabouts, etc.
daq@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.English105·5 months agoSo you stopped using an iPhone too? Because Apple also renamed the gulf in their maps app.
Is Symbian still good these days?
I’m running fedora 40 with

Master pdf editor works great for me. License costs $80, but compared to Adobe prices it is basically free.
Show me a screenshot of what your display settings look like please.
I couldn’t even find a place to do it. Only config for display scaling applied or to all monitors. And it requires a restart of kde every time. So either large external screen became unusable or the small laptop screen.
I haven’t used Xorg in years. All my problems are in Wayland.
Great, now please fix per monitor scaling. 4k laptops are unusable when connected to large 4k screens. I need no scaling on large external screen and about 175% on laptop’s 16".
daq@lemmy.sdf.orgto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•*Permanently Deleted*English1·10 months agoIt did not. I think you and OP are feeling this based on anecdotal/singular experience. I can get any old movie I want and am able to download all the latest stuff very quickly using two private trackers. Been on one of them for over a decade and the other one is TL and I hardly ever use TL. 90/10 ratio.

A lot of legacy stuff that’s really expensive and time consuming to upgrade. If it ain’t broken (and protected from the internet), don’t fix it.
