If this case gets a closure against tiktok, it will become a jurisprudence and will allow to do the same to them

Just some guis/apps, and it’s mostly optional

Ouch, that’s really a battery killer

Well, my PSP had its battery inflate. I had replaced that battery a few years ago, used it a bit, then forgot about it. Recently found that the new battery is in oopsie state too.

That’s sad :(

Did you store it in a too hot place or leave it with zero charge for too long? I only had a few devices with inflated battery so far, and I scrape a lot of. My stuff and the stuff I get from people tend to be in a relatively good shape even after staying unused for some years. E-readers are the champions of battery preservation. I got one from a friend that was forgotten for more than 10 years, and it works well. He said that the battery originally lasted more than a week. Now it’s lasting only about 3 days, which is a huge difference, but not enough to make it unusable.

People tend to exaggerate how much batteries degrade. Low power devices tend to work reasonably well even on degraded batteries.

Breaking news: A journalist just discovered that the thing he stopped using while still functioning normally still functions after a lng time left in a drawer.

I’m eager for companies to put ai agents in customer support, so I can try tricking the system with “my grandmother” prompts to make it refund all my orders

Be careful. People are so dumb that they might misread or misinterpret it and create some hoax

People and businesses will ditch US platforms

That’s a bold one. Hope it’s true

640K ought to be enough for anyone

This is so true! lol

At least in my social circle, the ones who use older hardware are either the ones who just do very basic tasks with them, or the ones with advanced tech skills. The average users tend to be so consumerist, expecting that a better hardware will compensate for their lack of skills…

Is it like xdotool, but with a fancy gui?

Migrating users might be a few, but they rarely go back. A few users monthly eventually become a lot!

non refillable should have never existed!

Just remember to backup important files and enjoy the reclaimed free space

There’s also https://html.duckduckgo.com/. It’s like the main page, but without javascript.

Reducing the albedo of some area just to disperse the captured energy for no utility (ai) is still harmful to the environment and contributes to earth’s energy imbalance. Solar energy is great when it replaces fossil fuel emissions, not when it’s just wasted.

Let’s now test the inertia of tiktok users. I know a lot who feel like they’re the bastion of the resistance against fascism and love to call x users fascists. Now tiktok has turned fascist as well. Let’s see if they will get out from there in substantial numbers

some people (…) are asking “can you game on DDR3“? The answer is a shocking yes.

“shocking”. Really?

Browsing the internet as a third worlder always give me these eye-rolling moments. Sigh…
