https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45n

Samsung forces repair shops to sign a TERRIBLE contract, that requires technicians to destroy your phone if they find non-Samsung parts in your device! iFixit is dropping their partnership with Samsung.

Why isn’t this bigger news?

for all the in the fediverse, what is your best choice of carry on bag if you have to carry gadgets and equipment?

@dekkzz76 I would say anything from keyboard/split keyboard to cameras to laptop to cabling

@pizzatorque

laptops, cameras etc need to be in suitcases in the hold wrapped in clothes or bubble wrap

I gave a talk at @republica in Berlin earlier today on the growing backlash to data centers.

As tech companies build more hyperscale data centers around the world, they demand even more energy and water — and some communities are fed up.

I think I charge my phone more often than I used to. I used to let it get all the way to single digits before recharging. Lately, I've been recharging when it's still over 75%.

@JeremyMallin My headphones drive me nuts. No warning at all and then suddenly the alarms are so annoyingly repetitive that I have to stop listening immediately.

Firefox Tip of ze day :

  • Sur mon laptop, je ne parvenais pas à ajouter ZoTop comme moteur de recherche, en usant de la méthode classique de sélection de l'url/click-droit/ajouter à la recherche.
  • J'ai ZoTop en moteur de recherche par défaut sur ma station de travail.
  • J'ai chopé le fichier search.json.mozlz4 de la conf du FF de ma station pour remplacer celui du laptop
  • Ça fonctionne, ZoTop est parmi les moteurs utilisables sur le FF du laptop.

joannarrativa,

@brunus J'ai le petit "+" dans la barre de recherche, mais ça m'envoie un message erreur du type "could not download the search plugin"

Alors j'ai installé une extension qui permet d'ajouter des moteurs de recherche https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-custom-search-engine/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

Et ça marche

brunus,

@joannarrativa Yep ! J'avais le même message d'erreur en utilisant la méthode de la barre de recherche/d'url.

"...[Sara] says after her bag was searched she was... banned from all stores using the #Technology.

"I was just crying and crying the entire journey home… 'Oh, will my life be the same? I'm going to be looked at as a shoplifter when I've never stolen'.

"#Facewatch later wrote to Sara and acknowledged it had made an error..."

I loathe current-AI in basically all its forms. It's unethical, absolutely divorced from anything that resembles consent.

But you know what I would want AI for?

Smarter driving instructions. A GPS in my car that learns how I like to drive - no lefts on busy streets for example. That when I ask about things like a coffee shop or takeout food en route gives me the option to specify if it has a drive thru and is it on the right side of the road?

AI that serves me, not replaces me.

@MsHearthWitch For me, the starting point for an improved driving app would be one that recognizes that my stopping for fuel isn't a crisis.

“The thing that really upset Dorsey: Bluesky users demanded moderation and Bluesky put it into place. Yeah, that was the whole issue.”

Good reflection on “decentralized” social media and what Dorsey really wants from it by @davidgerard:

@wjmaggos
Mr. Gerard mentions in his article the strange omission of ActivityPub from Mr. Dorsey's interview. I can see why he might think ActivityPub doesn't meet all his goals for a protocol, but the fact that it already exists and is growing should be reason to work for improvement, not to start a new initiative.

Did Meta, “Call of Duty” and gun manufacturer Daniel Defense “groom” the shooter who killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas? Wrongful-death lawsuits brought by the victims’ families say yes. Read more from Tech Crunch: https://flip.it/QVEKdG

@TechDesk crazy how would car manufacturers be held accountable for a driver who drives drunk or drives over a pedestrian... Games like this, too, can also help alleviate the rage that some people feel. If the allegation is correct, the majority of these players should be committing shooting crimes specifically.

Is there an established term/neologism for the whole tech-bro attitude/belief/common-response of

"there is no UI issue, this is a good tool, anyone who's bothered to learn it understands this ... you just have a skill issue"

vimism? (genuine suggestion for a genuine question ... it's the term my brain uses)

Although encrypted and stored locally on the hard drive, I wonder if the three months-worth of snapshot data could be used against someone in a court of law 🤔
