I have a dozen or so AA (at least 10? 15? years old) and four AAA. They hold a charge very well, and are easy to charge from a solar panel when needed. They’ll top up a phone during a blackout or a camping trip. They get used in flashlights, controllers, remotes, shavers, etc.
I keep a box of alkaline batteries in various sizes on hand for guests, but it’s hard to beat NiMH and NiCad rechargeables.
So again, the Lemmy verse is still really confusing and finding the right communities for the right post. This sub seems like they would definitely know about this though...
Have you looked at something like a Mac Mini or older MacBook? I have a 2008-era MacBook that Apple abandoned years ago, but it keeps up with modern Linux just fine. I don’t think they’re very expensive, and they’re workhorses.
Mozilla has announced today that its read-it-later service Pocket will be retiring its Mac app this month. Users are encouraged to install the iOS app on their Mac or use the web going forward. Here’s when and why Mozilla is shutting it down.
Agreed. The only official Mozilla response to Google’s WebDRM that I’ve seen was on the git page where the Firefox engineer raised the concern. Mozilla’s Google liaison shot down the statement opposing WebDRM as “premature” since it is currently “only a proposal” (by a working group of Google engineers).
Considering that Facebook has probably illegally registered “consent” using dark patterns, it may be necessary now to revoke that “consent.” Maybe OP was asking how to do that since they never legitimately consented in the first place.
If I were a European FB user, I’d still want to take positive action to register that I do not consent and to revoke any previous “consent.” It’s a valid concern.
It’s also happened in a few places in the US. Cities or states tried to outlaw the practice and religious communities screeched about not being allowed to carve up babies’ bodies.
This article doesn’t pass the smell test. Author has no discernible expertise on the topic. He tries to weave a conspiracy out of whole cloth, based on his ignorance of US business accounting. His evidence is cherry-picked.
It’s really upsetting to watch but the admin over there has gone MIA and exploding-heads (a fascist instance thats defederated here as well) has set up shop to explicitly spread stuff across the federation. Just straight up horrific bigotry. I hope the admin over there comes back and cleans house. For now, I aint dealing with...
It is endlessly frustrating that companies have universally decided that they won’t let people say “no” to stuff, ever. There are no longer options to reject stupid-ass new “features”, only postponement until next time you open the app/website/program. They’ll continue pestering you for the rest of your life. I...
