This was exactly the reason I cancelled my subscription. I'm paying for no ads, so don't shove them down my throat when I want to watch something without it fucking up the algorithm. Just because I want to watch a video my friend

The Levoit filters are twice as expensive to replace.

When it comes to corporations, don't attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by greed. This could easily be avoided by having proper security engineering, but that costs money! They're only about a decade lat

I fear for a future where financial privacy is non-existant. While I recognize the potential for abuse and enabling for bad actors to skirt laws, I think it should be private by default with measures that allow for auditing. For example, Mo

I too look forward to the post scarcity society that replicators would enable, but until then we as a species really need to learn to rein it in before we consume ourselves into a corner we can't get out of.

People get buttmad and downvote you for pointing out manmade global extinction events and daily death tolls from pollution. HN isn't immune from these shitbags. This site has a lot more capitalists than environmentalists.

Ah, yeah,that makes sense. Hadn't considered that angle. Would track with the user behavior exposed here, namely getting their stuff from an unofficial source (be it the device itself or the firmware).

Why complicate things? Just smash the device. This is only effective if the user doesn't have their seed phrase. Edit: Looks like I was beaten to this down thread.

GrapheneOS has a network permission that you can toggle. I'm still hoping for an application firewall that will also let me use my real VPN, or hoping that my VPN provider will integrate this functionality directly so I don't have

The down voting of the parent is wholly unjustified. This is a factual reality that has already taken place and continues on to this day. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left a

Now I'm getting that, too. The fact it changed is even weirder.

Even if it's not available via the charger they'll just do this with ALPR or their proprietary apps. Gotta love surveillance capitalism.

A healthcare provider I used in the past had these things, absolutely hated how they used dark patterns to try to get people to consent to this crap. Really wish the US had more backbone to fight these kinds of practices.

Screw that, I'm worried that the megacorps are gonna screw this up and make it even more American dystopian.

Of course someone who is gaining financially from MS is going to take this position. "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

When it comes to megacorporations with a history of anticompetitive behavior, I much prefer "Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by greed."

Acknowledging the mass extinction event that we caused is sensationalism? We've completely fucked the climate in a bad way, and are triggering the complete destruction of entire species on a daily basis. Denying that is the actual ri

Depends, do you want to count the mass extinction event that we've created? If so, you're really not going to like the answer.

Fossil fuels enabled overconsumption of resources at levels never before possible. Can't wait for next year's Earth Overshoot Day! Also, CFCs enabled some true miracles in refrigeration, we shouldn't demonize them. Damned ble

I've got an FST-01 that I've been meaning to set up with NeuG as a hobby project. Not sure if it would be worthwhile or if I would be better served spending my time on something else.

Somehow this is the first I've heard of the Digital Markets Act. That's awesome, glad to hear something is happening around this!

It's going to take nothing short of massive legal action to get any sort of competitive compatibility like that. As much as I wish for that to happen my hopes aren't very high. So until then I'll keep chugging along on whatev

I noticed the same thing with Cisco vulns a while back. How many times do you hard code credentials before it becomes an intentional backdoor rather than negligence?

I believe you can mine on GPUs, it's just horribly inefficient and has a terrible hashrate compared to a CPU.

I'm hoping that some portion of the mining community will migrate to Gridcoin, where at least the work has some value outside of the token itself. The more scientific computing we can get the better.

Does the design of Signal's applications or server infrastructure change because of the jurisdiction? Does the information they gather or store change?
