Trump says a 25% tariff 'must be paid by Apple' on iPhones not made in the U.S.
Wait a second. I thought China paid the tariffs...

How to export 2FA from Authy into another service such as Bitwarden?
I just went through that. Authy no longer allows you to export 2FA. That firmly solidified my decision to leave their service.
I had to go to each website that had 2FA, go in and disable 2FA, and then add it again using my 2FA app.

Just bought 5 of these for my pie nas
They are probably 256gb drives that show up in the OS as 4tb. When you start writing files over the actual capacity of the drive , it will just start overwriting the initial files that you put on there.
Good thing Amazon has a good return policy

Chromecast with Google TV is now serving full-screen, auto-playing Chicken Tender Wrap ads
Download another launcher, set it as default home, and forget about google's excessive ads. Depending on your model, you may need to run an ADB command. You may need to get a remote remapper app to remap the home button to open the launcher
I am using this one for my android tv https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.projengmenu
And flauncher for my chromecast https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.efesser.flauncher

Update about lemm.ee infrastructure & upcoming cakeday
Thank you for everything you do. I appreciate the visibility into the technical aspects of the instance. That's what makes Lemmy unique. It's built for users by users. I'm glad I picked this instance back when this all started. Keep up the good work!

The Dreamcast version of Ep1 Racer has better graphics, cutscenes, and hacks to get 60fps. Redream works on Linux

looking for my next thinkpad
The t480 was the last thinkpad with a useable CPU and a rich feature set (dual battery, removable battery, replaceable ram, ability to use a 2nd SSD via the wan slot). Linux support is great and libreboot support was just released for it.
I also have a newer amd x13 thinkpad. Sure the overall performance is better but the keyboard is not as good, s3 sleep battery drain sucks, and it takes forever to boot up

What is your internet service plan?
600 down / 20 up for $95 in western PA. My area only has one option, Comcast. So they can basically make the price whatever that want. The other side of town also has FiOS and of course the same Comcast plan is $60 there. I hate it so much

No One Is Buying AMD Zen 5 CPUs, So What's Going On?
I got an 5800x3d and 64gb of ddr4. I see no need to jump up to a new CPU and invest in ddr5 memory yet. The performance benefit is only a few percent just isn't worth the upgrade in my opinion

What is your favorite mod?
The Fallout London mod for Fallout 4 was incredible. It's like a an entire new game for free. They really captured the spirit of the Fallout universe. Better than anything Bethesda put out in the past couple years

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour

I have a gigabit internet plan with Comcast , cost me $80 a month. And yes there is a 1.2tb data cap each month. Every 50gb that you go over, you are automatically charged an additional $10. Oh I'll just choose another ISP...nope Comcast is the only option in my town. Not unless I want 5G cell Internet or satellite which is not super reliable or fast.

Anybody know the species of this fledgling?
Reply in thread
Me too. Yea it looks like a European Starling. The juveniles are brown and adults are black with speckles. We get tons of them this time of year. They are very loud and bully the smaller birds. If he can't fly yet, you can try and put him back in his nest.

What house or town theme from video games would you be cool with listening to in that space forever?
Outset Island from Wind Waker. I used to leave the game on to just take in the music and ocean sounds

Genuine question: is there a way to disable political content on Lemmy?
I've unsubscribed from all the politics communities. The app the I use (Sync) has content filters so you can filter out post titles that contain the names of certain individuals that I don't want to hear about

Someone made a nonviolent luigi post and it was deleted.. wonder why?
I feel like the US at this point is a lost cause. The corpos have accumulated way too much lobbying power over the past few years. They will never allow real progressive candidates win major elections. Democrats now have to play the center in order to not upset the corporations. We lost our last real chance to make meaningful change with Bernie in 2016...

What OS are you using and why?
Currently using Unraid. I like the docker management, plugin support, and the flexibility with adding storage. But I do already have a lifetime license that I got for cheap a few years back. They've raised the price significantly since then
If I had to choose today, I'd go with TrueNAS Scale

What's the best piracy for music?
Download mp3 or flac from artists you like. Install jellyfin or plex on an old PC, laptop, or raspberry pi and store the music there. Install finamp or plexamp on your phone. And you got your own personal spotify that you can access from anywhere
