Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line
They actually have a great product, and they're canceling it? The new ones were kind of expensive already, but every app supported it and it was very nice

After 16 years, Ecobee is shutting down support for the original smart thermostat
AA much hate this might be getting, they're offering discounts on a new product, and 16 years is a hell of a lifetime. Imagine having to support software written in c99 maybe even c89, with some homebrew UI full of bugs.

There could be a legally binding contract stating that any deletion request must be forwarded to all parties it was send to, and that upon receiving such a request the data must be deleted. I do not think this would be unreasonable to ask to servers, especially as this deletion receipt could be fully automated.

Is Mark Zuckerberg Actually TRYING to Destroy Meta?
Reply in thread
Facebook/meta was very early in the "AI" space. They built lots of tools and models being widely used right now. Just look at their popular github repos, faiss, SAM, vision transformers, visual embeddings, core ML libraries, all very essential components of many ML systems.
Saying facebook "just" dove into AI is wrong, facebook has been there from the early days along with Google (and probably some more) in building the very foundations these stupid LLMs "thrive" on

New Plasma 6 Default Icon Theme Looks
Reply in thread
Gtk 3->4 made a lot of internal changes, and at least some were related to making wayland work. Wayland "worked" in gtk3, however it was very much an afterthought, and half the toolkit was useless under wayland. Other changes are usually required for changes related to rendering, gtk4 had vulcan rendering which may require some breaking changes. Another thing is just general breaking changes that are good, sometimes you realise some decision was bad, and a new major release is just a way to make these.
From the end users perspective nothing much changes, it maybe looks a bit different, but not much besides that. But a vulcan renderer and being fully wayland compatible are major improvements that also improve the user experience, even if you don't notice directly.

Thats not how economics works, if the cost of a product goes up one way or another, the price goes up, one way or another

Phones which battery doesn't get swollen?
You can use wireless ADB, or try to set the battery limit to 80% and only set charging to only start below 30%. Wireless ADB settings can be found in the developer options. battery options don't always include the option to require battery level to drop below X% before charging starts again, and if it is, it is usually branded as battery saver feature or smth like that.

I don't think it will ever come to a lawsuit, nobody would ever want that. Under the GDPR you must be able to delete content, and the server must communicate this to all federated servers. So in effect, there is already a legally binding agreement between all servers that this deletion request must be honored (for people physically in the eu), it's just not.
lemmy servers are already breaking the GDPR if they don't follow forwarded deletion requests from people in the eu. This would just effectively be an extension of this to data from all people.
