It’s part of the new range which is all matter over thread only. The existing ikea hub can do thread though.

Air purifier is good for PM2.5 and other microscopic pollutants but it doesn’t do that much for dust unless it’s particularly light dust and very close to the purifier. Dust is much more likely to just settle on the ground and be kicked bac

I got the ikea sensor, I’d say it’s way more accurate than you need for personal use. I wouldn’t use it as a scientific instrument but it’s well good enough to see if the room is ventilated enough. I was shocked to see just how fast CO2 cli

It doesn’t say haptic motor anywhere. The only reference to how it moves in the whole thing is “internal dual Linear Resonant Actuators” which seems intentionally obtuse and even that is buried in the depths surrounded by a ton of unimporta

Isn't the design of peertube that you can view videos originally uploaded by other instances? So unless you decide to not federate, you are responsible for every video on every instance.

Youtube won the war on ad blocking when most views moved to TV and mobile. While I've seen some people have hacked clients to run on TV platforms, the average person just either watches the ads or pays for youtube premium. The friction

Publishers won't get on board until you can work out how to sort out advertising, paid subscriptions, and blocking ad blockers.

There was a more direct case where someone’s child had been interacting with Gemini inappropriately resulting in Google nuking the entire families Google accounts.

Discorse is probably the best forum software these days. It's incredibly nice and works just as well on mobile and desktop.

The era of niche subreddits is over these days. Reddit started ignoring subscriptions and just pooling all posts together and suggesting things the algorithm thinks you are interested in regardless of subscriptions.

I was discussing with a friend how I'm saddened that all the independent art websites basically died out. While they still exist, they are a shadow of their former selves while the viewers and artists all moved to Twitter, a website th

Discord is absolutely what has replaced forums and old social media. Twitter/Facebook/etc are entirely short form content and ragebait bots. Discord is where people are going to talk to their friends and discuss games/softwar

77% of the Australian population were in support of "Proposed ban on social media for children under 16" https://yougov.com/articles/51000-support-for-under-16-socia... This was in 2024, since then the attitu

It really doesn't take that much at all. You just have to allow apartments and mixed use zoning, and not actively chop up the land with stroads. Human populations naturally gravitate towards walking, and it's pretty much active sa

It's definitely not just kids. Social media is a lot like meth, we should at a bare minimum stop giving it to kids as soon as possible. And then come to realise it's bad for everyone and should be wound back.

Sure, the implementation details are blunt. But Facebook, Google, and Reddit have had decades to sort this out on their own and yet they have only poured fuel on the problem and watched the ad dollars rain in. So I have little sympathy that

The vast majority of the population supports banning social media for kids so revolution isn't happening. Of course the social media companies object to their product being banned. It's like cigarette companies objecting to plain

The harms of smartphones and social media are about as far from imaginary as it could get. The data is screaming at us. We will look back at handing kids phones with instagram like giving kids cigarettes and think wtf were we doing.

This is something I've visually observed all over Australia. The walkable areas are noticeably fitter. I don't think all of those people just happen to care about fitness more, they just spend more time moving to get between place

At least in China they also have a lot of public parks where they all gather for group exercise with all the other elderly people.

I highly suspect they mean not compressed beyond bluray quality rather than literal uncompressed video which obviously is impossible to stream.

What we need is legal change rather than relying on hackers and piracy to cover the obvious issues with copyright and DRM in the modern era.

I think about how much hardware and software is tied in to internet activation or fragile software like ios apps that need constant updating or they will be delisted. All of this stuff is just starting to be shut down and deactivated now, t

Even before the era where physical copies became nothing more than license keys, the copy of the game on the disk was a buggy 1.0 release that was expected to get a day one update. So if the download servers go offline, you’d never be able

An SD card should only ever be treated as a local cache for data you can replace or will soon move to more permanent storage. Even if you had the best card in the world you could still lose or have your phone stolen.

The iPhone has never had a microsd slot, many years before icloud existed.

It's because that crosses the line of plausibly legal. In theory you could use an emulator with only titles you copied from your own physical copies which is legal. But if they implement a download mechanism it's clearly illegal.

Couldn't you also just build a bittorrent client that hosts a local webserver to provide http access? I could never get what IPFS actually did that bittorrent didn't.

Same here, I've just kept it simple with Immich and Nextcloud. Automatic updates set up on debian and automatic docker pull to update the apps. With a nightly backup to both a local hard drive and encrypted backups to google drive. Aft
