Actual movers would probably agree with that. Those people hate books with a fiery passion. I’ve heard of movers straight up refusing jobs when they learn that the client has a library.

2·4 months agoKeyser Soze did it, so can you.
The viper was a poorly made, uncomfortable, weird car with some stupid and inconvenient design choices. It was also not very reliable, used way too much fuel, and had serious safety issues. I think it’s a perfect analogy for windows.

Technology@lemmy.world•UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety BillEnglish
4·4 months agoThey’re going to know it’s VPN fairly easily because it’s fairly obvious what you’re doing when all or most of your traffic is encrypted and is directed at one or two addresses. Even more obvious if those one or two addresses happen to belong to known VPN or VPS providers or something.
This is exactly my experience. I was super confused by the timer on the dryer. Then I called support and they said it was normal for where I live and where the machine sits in the house. Air too humid and spot less than ideal for moisture to be taken away from the machine in a timely fashion.

5·4 months agoSome slicers can add mouse ears automatically along edges where it’d be likely to lift up. I believe it’s been a feature in orca and its derivatives for some time. Otherwise you can add very thin, single layer cylinders to the corners. Most slicers out there have features to let you add common primitives like that.
Pro tip: you can probably uninstall Gemini via ADB. Android won’t let you uninstall it using your phone’s UI, but since it’s just another package you can probably use the old ADB tricks to wipe it from your phone. Use your favorite search engine to figure out how, it’s not exactly a secret.

Technology@lemmy.world•We need to stop pretending AI is intelligentEnglish
7·5 months agoIt is and it isn’t. Again, the whole thing is super vague. Machine vision or pattern seeking algorithms do not try to imitate any human behavior, but they fall under AI.
Let me put it this way: Things that try to imitate human behavior or intelligence are AI, but not all AI is about trying to imitate human behavior or intelligence.

Technology@lemmy.world•We need to stop pretending AI is intelligentEnglish
5·5 months agoLLMs are one of the approximately one metric crap ton of different technologies that fall under the rather broad umbrella of the field of study that is called AI. The definition for what is and isn’t AI can be pretty vague, but I would argue that LLMs are definitely AI because they exist with the express purpose of imitating human behavior.

Technology@lemmy.world•WhatsApp is officially getting adsEnglish
3·6 months agoOr they do switch but for like 1 day and then go back to messaging you on WhatsApp. I tried switching to signal at least a couple times, even convinced a couple groups to move, but not a single chat lasted more than a couple weeks. Eventually they all went back to WhatsApp. Every single one. It’s extremely difficult to get people to care.
Which part broke exactly? Because I can confirm the one on my tablet, which I installed a long time ago, still works. Haven’t installed it on my current phone which I got not too long ago, so I’m wondering if it’s gonna be a problem.
I still use rif. You can get the app as an apk, and patch it to replace the original API key with your own using something like vanced. I already had my key from before the debacle, not sure how you get one these days. Anyway, it did give me some trouble while logging in, but eventually it worked.
They are wholly independent from the protocol or interface. Ghosting is an electrical issue that is a result of keyboards being a bunch of switches arranged in a matrix. It makes the keyboard’s controller register an extra keypress in certain conditions. Nothing to do with how the thing communicates with the host computer.
Key rollover issues can be related to ghosting. The limit for it is once again the keyboard’s design at the circuit level, not its communication protocol.
Really they’re both related to how cheaply built the keyboard is. That’s the only thing.

3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Car sun visor with built-in navigationEnglish
3·8 months agoDon’t count on it. On really hot days the interior of a car sitting under the sun can reach petg’s glass transition temp. I’ve had petg prints, also attached to the visor as it happens, soften up and deform in my car.

2·9 months agoThere are esp32 variants that can do ZigBee. It’s very surprising to me that there’s no esphome for those. I’d think that the community would be all over that, but all I have found so far are abandoned GitHub repos. Maybe there’s something I don’t know about the chip or the protocol that makes it difficult?
Until the next update reenables it.
Really the only OS that where hibernation and suspension works smooth enough for me has been MacOS so far. Windows wakes up the whole PC to do things. On Linux you get GPU related power state issues that cause weird things. On MacOS it has always “just worked” for me. Still not buying one though. Rather shut down my machine.
I have node named pve too. Small world.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Volkswagen ID. EVERY1 is an affordable EV for the massesEnglish
5·9 months agoWell I drive a heavily touch-screenified car, and I hate it. Have had the damn thing for almost a year but I still get nervous when I have to adjust the A/C.



I once read a review of a sous vide machine that just would not work unless it was connected to a smartphone via an app. And then that app would not work properly without a connection to some backend. That backend died at some point, bricking the sous vide machine. What a wonderful world we live in.
