Android Auto was the biggest pain for me. I tried /e/OS, but for the life of me I couldn't get AA to work with MicroG.

Here's what I did for each point: Android: iPhone. I don't know if I trust Apple more than Google, but at least on the surface level our interests align better. Might try a Librem 5 or Google-less Android in the future. Google sea

Steam Link (and lately nVidia Gamestream). It made my dream viable: having a server rack in my garage or basement, and stream my games to any room in my house. Wanna play in the living room TV? Sure! Want to play from your laptop in your ro

Reading this, I think I might have been confused about some of these concepts as well. But I had a hard time explaining them to myself. I wonder, is there any resource online that explains electricity properly in a "for dummies" w

I'm asking this completely seriously: where's the proof that pornography is harmful? People in the top comments keep saying without backing it up at all, and the claims they do sound kind of outlandish to me. I'm gonna do som

Since I just deleted my Google account, I'd be more than happy to risk a ban.

So you're saying it's not worth trying moving in that direction, just because people don't use it now?

I don't think the bottleneck is the ethernet itself. The CPU might not be powerful enough to handle the VPN connection at full speed.

Oh yeah, Pi-Hole itself almost doesn't cause any CPU load. But connecting to the PiVPN slows things down considerably. I probably need to do some benchmarks to see exactly what's slowing things down, now that I think about it.

I have a Pi-Hole + PiVPN (WireGuard) + CloudFlare DoH setup and it was pretty easy to do. Most of this stuff installs itself! To be honest, the real challenge was to figure out the additional measures to ensure my home devices could only us

In fact, I would say apps would get a lot more revenue by switching to a paid model. I don't know the exact numbers, but I think I've heard monthly revenue from tracking is less than a cent per user. Now imagine they charge $1 mon

by bozzcl 6y ago
While that might be true, it does not change the fact that modern tracking practices are intrusive and anti-consumer. Frankly, I can't sympathize with any business, no matter how small, that is dependent on tracking to thrive.

The real problem here, and what Apple is getting at, is lack of consent. The willingness or not to "pay" with personal data is meaningless if there's no awareness. Sure, tech-savvy people are aware and can make informed decis

Local backup and remote backup. Always. I only write code on my laptop, but I sync my projects folder with my cloud desktop. It's saved me from several crappy accidental losses.

Subaru CVTs are especially bad from what I've heard. I tried a WRX with one back in 2015, but unfortunately I wasn't too experienced with them to really tell how bad it was. Went with a manual a few years later, though.

Another benefit: wannabe thieves won't know how to drive your stick shift.

I have a few concerns: what's the incentive for Big Tech to adopt this system? Will it have to be forced by law? If so, how do you deal with data sovereignty? Could I self-host my own pod instead?

No. What does that have to do with my comment? As far as justifying my "it's not really a Mustang" comment, you just have to... you know... look at it. It's a crossover SUV. SUVs don't drive like sports cars. Higher

I think they tried to leverage the popularity of Mustangs to prop up the new car. Personally, I was very disappointed when I learned it was not, in fact, an electric muscle car.

I've been thinking about this, and the conclusion I came to is that you'll never be fully able to block fake, scammy apps. You can definitely make them less effective, though. Here's some random ideas I came up with: * Chargi

Honestly, I feel like that about IoT in general. Cheaply made, internet-connected consumer products that will likely not get patched for security issues? Sounds like a nightmare. Makes me wonder, are there any efforts to standardize IoT pro

Giving away control to a sexual partner. And on this person's case, to a bunch of internet hackers as well. Wow, this is the most Cyberpunk thing that's happened so far.

I got cheated by this! Wolverine is both the name of a band (prog metal from Sweden) and a Quant fund.

Well, you could probably message them to try to negotiate... though I'd say you wouldn't get far.

As somebody who struggles with the touch bar every work day, I hope this is real.

Which is why I pretty much only wear band t-shirts. EDIT: the irony of this comment hit me just now.

Unfortunately, I'm on the same stand as you. I managed to move my direct family and one group of friends into Telegram, but the rest didn't follow and many have been pestering me to go back. I was thinking about going back, actual
