Floppy seems cool. I am curious about how/why people use these types of tracking services for their media.

MC: It's not us.

Steam & Itch: It's the payment processors.

Gee, I wonder who people are going to believe.

They're basically saying the AI companies are going to keep demand elevated to the point that supply will never catch up. It's possible but with variables like public backlash, unrealistic power requirements, eventual financial and AI regulation, I would bet on a painful collapse.

Link complains about adblock.

Turns out the linux kernel dodged a massive bullet, thanks Linus.

Friendly suggestion: Substitute video's clickbait title with something more informative like "Variable pricing using AI algorithms are increasing grocery prices."

Most people aren't doing fresh installs often enough to get annoyed. There's also an understanding that Mozilla will need to do things we don't necessarily like to generate revenue and stay viable. Google isn't going to fund them forever. As long as we can turn those things off and configure firefox to our liking, we can tolerate such changes.

• "requirements are only applicable to users in China"
• "restrictions will not apply to previous versions of ColorOS" (<16)
• "unlocking the bootloader won’t void the phone’s warranty"

While not ideal, it's also not the end of the world.

"The report detailed how the user managed to leak DNS queries when disabling and enabling VPN while having “Block connections without VPN” on."

Not to diminish the severity of the issue but I can't imagine this being the factor that pushes the average person to ios over android.

"Mindfactory's sales information in repeated articles over several years, and its Ryzen 7 5800X, 5600X, and 5900X RMA rates are 0.58 percent, 0.52 percent, and 0.33 percent, respectively."

Based on some very rough estimates using mindfactory and amazon sales data, the 9800x3d is in line with or below 5000 series RMA rates.

If there was real cause for concern, the RMA rate should be much higher.

It seems like a continuation from the DDOS attacks that still happen from time to time. If I was going down the conspiracy rabbit hole, I'd think some group is trying to keep linux in the press with bad/scary news to drive away growing interest and arch seems like the easiest target atm.

I own a sony TV. The hdtvtest guy is my goto for staying updated on TV tech and sony regularly comes out as his best of the year. Yes, they're pricey but you're getting something for that premium.

This is a sad day in my books now that TCL will be able to enshittify the Sony brand.

Wild speculation: can this type of malware be used to infect Taiwan's semiconductor infrastructure and prevent the self-destruction they have in place in the event of invasion?

Operation Arctic Endurance - military exercise in Greenland organized by Denmark. From what I can find online, which is very little, Denmark sent invitations to other countries to participate. We don't know if Canada was invited. What we do know from the article:

Canada’s Foreign Minister Anita Anand is set to open an official consulate in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, in the coming weeks, and has expressed support for the island’s sovereignty in recent public statements and bilateral meetings.

Other countries know where we stand. Let's wait and see if we get invited.

I'm counting down the days until they revoke all existing lifetime passes. With this change and the recent bitwarden price increases, we're definitely in the era of being squeezed for every dime from all sides.

Like many others, I bought the lifetime plex pass when it was relatively cheap but switched to jellyfin for personal use years ago. I keep plex running for family members but that'll stop as soon as the lifetime pass goes away.

The article is from 2022. I'm guessing if it was written today, it would be about bluesky.

It's high school level drama. Competent adults will work it out.

Does it have to be on F-Droid? I use Obtainium. (app configs) Edit: I was using photon and didn't realize the post was not formatted until I checked regular lemmy and saw the mess it looked like to others.
