No issues here either, I screwed up a driver update leaving Debian repos to actual Nvidia repos but other than that no issues

Personally, I don’t think mobile devices such as cell phones or tablets should be lumped into the same category as personal computers such as laptops and desktops.

Like, sure, they are technically still computers, but they are treated more as always on assistants.

Myself, I leave my cell phone, smartwatch and tablet on 24-7. Only restarting when I have an issue, it needs an update, or the battery dies. However, my desktop, game consoles, laptop, and TV’s are turned off as soon as I’m done using them. (Although the TV doesn’t actually turn off because it forces a rest mode.)

edit: I got OCD on my list orders

For clarification, this will likely mean anyone using a VPN won’t be allowed to also use non-google phones. As google will repeatedly request captcha on known VPN endpoints and they are common vectors for malicious programs and bots to use, so it’s almost certainly going to be escalated to the QR code level.

Honestly I expect a bit of resistance to this change from web operators though. They are not going to like VPN users submitting bug reports saying “they can’t verify/its annoying so fix it”. There are far more users using VPN’s as a standard than there is custom firmware or degoogled devices.

I find it weird that the web operator decided to make it so rotation data only is publicly shown if your phone is actually laying down. Because if you’re holding it in the standard position, it doesn’t even announce that it collects it.

10$ a month to access the equivalent of deepseek, or any of the other models?

Yea I don’t know about that one.

Plus liability wise that is a nightmare. Surprised they had the audacity to do it.

I guess having the dashboard is cool… but I doubt this model will be very different compared to normal gemini

I mean, if they heavily subsidize the cost they might.

The everyday person will overlook the no name branding phone if it’s cheaper than the others.

I would love forced support for downgrade. Especially with reverse engineering and jailbreaking

I firmly agree with everything you said there, and I want to add that if the main reasoning for wanting to remove the rule is “fuck Reddit” , then that means that this concept itself is a picture example of a mildly infuriating post.

And by that I mean, It’s mildly infuriating when someone just blanket decides that because they hate something, that everything about that thing is bad and nobody else should be able to see it. It’s almost never a black and white concept.

Personally, if it’s organic, and by that I mean not automated, and someone went to Reddit, saw the post, and then reposted it Here, I don’t have any issue with that.

I don’t use Reddit, so any mildly infuriating post that gets posted from there to here is a post that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

As long as I’m not forced to go to Reddit to interact with it, which so far out of what I’ve seen in this community I haven’t had to because it’s usually the picture and the post description lemmy side as well so I have no big issue with it

Just because Reddit is a shit site, and I don’t like it, doesn’t mean that all content on the site isn’t worth anything, and if it’s something that’s cool or entertaining, and someone wants to bring it here, I’m all for it.

They did that about a year or so after I blocked reddit via DNS. No idea why, I don’t use a VPN for reddit, and I hadent given them any traffic outside the once and awhile checking a tech support post, but something about my network triggered it.

No big loss.

This… People keep dreaming of reddit crashing and burning or going under but, realistically if that did happen a good portion of the existing userbase will filter into the fediverse somewhere, and thats a lot of inorganic growth. Currently there are a handful of popular topics, and some niche topics. Yes there are also reddit like mannerisms but, when people slowly filter in, the room can be read and the existing culture remains, when a mass intake happens (like what happend with the API debacle) the influx is faster than the adoption and the culture comes with it.

my aunt used to seek out parking garages that either were proactive at ticketing vehicles that were sticking way out like that, or had a lowered roof at the front to prevent larger vehicles in the first place. She said she was surprised that they existed but said it made actually navigating it so much easier.

I can defo understand that, it’s hard enough parking as it is, and thats without a vehicle taking up half the roadway as well.

While I agree wholeheartedly with this comment, I felt the need to add a footnote to it.

if you currently use mainstream media services such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc., be careful going this route because some service providers are known to intentionally drop the quality of your stream If it realizes you’re on a browser instead of an official app. I know Netflix for sure does it because I’ve seen it first hand.

would locking usage behind an account post sale be concidered bricking devices? because if so they should add those customers on.

The sad thing is, jokes aside for some teachers is actually is accurate.

source: grandfather had a college professor that said his personal policy was that a student could never jump more than one letter grade between quarters.

I wondered what the boot-it bundle on pizza hut actually was for. It always talked about how a portion of the order went into the program but never really explained what it was. I always did it because the deal was good but, it’s nice to know what the money was going to.

my grandfather goes to the nearest building and asks. if they don’t know he moves to the next person

they have a third party hosting provider that keeps backups on the same storage volume as production? That right there is a whole other concern.

whoever decided that backups need to be directly tied to storage volumes needs to reevaluate hardcore. I see no reason to link it directly to storage volumes and deleting a storage volume should not delete the backups that are tied to that volume. That is a systematic flaw that was just waiting to be abused.

In this case, it was an AI agent “going rogue”, but what if it was a hostile attacker that just decided they wanted to be malicious. deleting a storage volume, using an API key, should not delete the backups that are associated with that volume, Realistically, that should be a whole separate system, and you should be able to restore backups that are under your account to whatever volume you want to.

Personally, I think the easiest one is the US government refunds the tariffs to the company with the requirement that the company has to give it back because the company already has all that information

However, if We were to continue this hypothetical situation where the US is the initiator.

All they would need to do is make it so it’s a hard requirement in order to get the tariff return that the companies provide basic transaction data For that duration, They could even dictate what format they needed it in. (or Alternatively they could assert they have a system in place already to handle it themselves but I think most would just let the gov handle it in bulk processing than need to make a framework for it)

Then for returning the money, there’s a few options. They could either use the existing framework that they have to send returns to cards on file because it’s almost certain that they have direct access to every major card network. Or they can filter the master list by the card identifiers at the beginning and send them to the banks/card companies and let them deal with it.

For cash transactions, it would be a pain in the ass, but that’s going to be the case for both distributions, because there’s no link to an actual identity. What they would have to do is they would have to compare the receipt to the transaction data that they have, which you are right, they could scam you on. However, they would have to know where it was purchased, they would have to know the time stamp, they would have to know the amount spent.

Honestly, the most annoying part of that entire deal would be that people who paid in cash, regardless, are going to have to reach out to some system to say, hey, I spent this money, where’s my return? But I don’t think fraud is going to be a very big risk case here.

Honestly, they could probably even set up an online portal to do everything for you. You just have to supply the information needed, much like how unpaid claims are

If your company isn’t keeping track of receipts for goods sold, the IRS is going to have an absolute field day with you about time they decide to audit the company.
