Everything posted on Lemmy is public though.

We really need to strip back copyright protection and limit it to 10-20 years.

You don’t get segmentation faults if you don’t have an MMU. That can certainly make debugging more interesting when your firmware starts overwriting memory that it shouldn’t until it finally crashes.

VPNs and piracy aren’t going anywhere. Unfortunately, data caps won’t be going away either.

For a dual port card, you will want an 8 lane PCIe 3.0 slot connected to the CPU. Almost any desktop CPU will have enough lanes since you won’t be using a graphics card. You can get by with a 4 lane slot, but you won’t be able to max out both ports bidirectionally at the same time.

I’ve seen a few, but they should be required everywhere.

There really should be big signs warning about scams at any place that sells gift cards.

There’s no way I will ever buy a phone with a folding screen. They are too fragile.

MakeMKV is the only cross platform bluray ripper that I’m aware of that will work with any disc. For DVDs, I normally use Handbrake.

To add it to Firefox search, open about:config and add a boolean value browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh set to true. This will allow you to manually add search engines. Then open the search settings and click add. Set the URL to https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=%s, give it a name and click “Add Engine”.

I wonder how many issues rewriting everything in another language will create?

That’s why you disable their account before telling them they’re fired.

In Thunderbird you can move the emails to a local folder and they will be fully downloaded.

That’s pretty generous to assume 10% of their users are human.

Just use yt-dlp. It’s not hard to use. You just type yt-dlp, paste the video link, and press enter to download the highest quality version.

I sure could use an AI that detects and blocks things like AI generated articles and sponsored search results as long as it’s open source and runs locally.

With 8GB, you could run any DE without worrying about RAM usage. 2GB DDR2 DIMMs are dirt cheap on ebay, so I would recommend maxing it out while RAM is still readily available. That CPU will still run most modern software at a reasonable speed.

People will just continue pirating those games then.

That battery is way too small. I prefer to have a 100WH battery. It definitely needs a couple more USB ports and an SD card reader.

That’s pretty impressive, but if they can’t figure out how to mass produce them cost effectively, then it’s pointless. Most of these battery breakthroughs never make it out of the lab.
