Most wristwatches provide much stronger water resistance while still being very user serviceable with a $20 watch tool kit. Whatever the phone makers are peddling are mostly excuses.

I would appreciate more data on the gluten-free sourdough. I have a family member who has a wheat/gluten allergy and spends a tonne of money on special diet bread.

My experience is that in most of small companies, the revenue extraction cycle from big SaaS suites has gone far enough that people are moving to self-hosted (or rather colocated with a local-ish provider that installs and provides unoffici

You can try to use other nasty words, but a lot of technical discussions seem to still include an occasional f ck or sh t, and would get consequently excluded from the search results. This is especially common on reddit where sometimes reco

That's the form I saw on social media and replicated, but I understand how that reflects upon me, and I'm sorry for that. Best way is to just use SearxNG anyways.

Is there a way to block it by shibboleth? Curious, since the recent Google hack where you add -(n-word) to the end of your query so the AI automatically shuts down works like a charm.

Precision manufacturing at scale. The physics of merging a hundred-gigahertz-scale circuit board track into a waveguide are very unforgiving. The physics governing the tolerances of said waveguide are similar.

Do you really harbor so much charity towards tech CEOs that you can't see its other meaning as at least equally as likely? It costs Mozilla literally nothing to reassure its privacy and user-controlled principles. Instead we got a jk..

We might be dealing with a MiniScribe situation (bricks being shipped to warehouses to inflate inventory statistics). And if so, we'll need about 2 years till all of the new DCs catch up with getting hardware wheeled in. But by then, i

I might be an useful idiot in this case, but I can't imagine they would be that late to the game. I suppose they get dibs on anything that's a year ahead of its time before manufacturers send it to the unwashed masses.

It's interesting how views differ; I have never been able to make decent scientific graphs in Excel while Calc worked fine for me.

You definitely have a dull imagination. If the software itself is secure, containerized version of Immich behind a containerized version of nginx proxy manager is probably as secure as you can get. Also google security tends to be mainly le

I have it set up in a container that I keep updated. Then it's reverse proxied by another container which runs nginx proxy manager, which keeps the HTTPS encryption online. So far, the maintenance has only been checking whether a new v

You changed my mind on some points, but this still ticks me off > Start-stop lowering lifetime of bearings while reducing pollution by idling vehicles, good trade-off. In my opinion this is not a good trade off. It puts vehicles that wou

Oh, hey, no problem, here's some examples. EU has tried repeatedly and still tried to undermine safe communication, end to end encryption (chat control), freedom of the press and of personal speech (democracy shield). Its environmental

I'll grant you that, I had a lot of beaters. A typical thing was that a lock solenoid pulled too much current in cold weather and consistently blew the central locking fuse.

Sorry for asking, are you in the USA? That might explain the 5 figures thing.

Crash safety has become grossly exagerrated because the standards have been sharply rising last few years. Most 15yo cars will keep you safe just fine in a median crash.

Fuses are necessary on any electrical system, and especially in a car, which is an electrical shitshow (floating ground, high-voltage and high-frequency interference), fuses blow all the time. Granted, usually on a well-maintained and new c
