  • I’ve also had no issues with Teams and haven’t had coworkers with issues in probably six years. I prefer it significantly over Slack, and my first job was using IBM/Lotus Notes before they switched to teams, that was a clunky nightmare.

  • My first SWE job out of college in 2019 they were still using SVN because none of the seniors could be bothered to learn how to use git.

    The “well this is how we’ve always done it” attitude had a death grip on that place

  • This kill switch, the DOJ said, appeared to have been created by Lu because it was named "IsDLEnabledinAD," which is an apparent abbreviation of "Is Davis Lu enabled in Active Directory."

    Lu named these codes using the Japanese word for destruction, "Hakai," and the Chinese word for lethargy, "HunShui,"

    Lu]’s "disappointed" in the jury's verdict and plans to appeal

    No, this guy is cooked, there’s even evidence of him looking up how to hide processes and quickly delete files, absolutely no way an appeal would work out for him, I don’t think an “I got hacked” argument is going to work.

  • I wonder how moderating would work in a merged community, would mods not from instance X only be able to hide a post from that instance from the merged community, or would they have power to remove a post from another instance? I’d imagine that is one of the hiccups of a feature like this, it is a shame it has been collecting dust though

    Edit: re-read the issue, now I understand it would be more of a multi Reddit than a merged community, so mods would only have the power for their own instance/community it sounds like

  • Always cool to see companies opening up safety features to the benefit of everyone

    I have some friends working on EV fire suppression at another company and they said it’s a cool idea, but in practice is difficult for firefighters to reach. Renault’s is specifically under the back seat, how easy is it going to be to open up a car, potentially move a seat, and connect a hose during a big battery fire?

  • I grew up in the American southwest and I saw them for the first time last summer. I probably looked crazy to people, a guy in his late 20s taking pictures and videos of bugs along the road to send to my family, but I was genuinely mystified

    I thought I was seeing spots on the edge of my vision or something before I realized what they were. I always thought they were constantly emitting light, not twinkling

  • From what I understand, it isn’t fully drag and drop yet, it took a long time to get it tweaked to work perfectly with Sonic Unleashed, and, as the tool is now, would require similar work for other games, but it’s a huge milestone

  • It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing approach though. No one is going to blame you for buying day to day shoes.

  • The title is misleading, they’re removing the ability to download and transfer from the Amazon side

  • I have been using scheduled do not disturb for over a decade, it makes SUCH a difference. I always have it on 10 PM - 7 AM, and I have started enabling it for an hour if work picks up or if I’m at the gym so I can focus.

    My work phone is on DND more than not, I’m available 7:30 AM - 5 PM on weekdays and it is in DND otherwise, super nice.

  • iOS also has a nice feature where if you get called by the same number twice in a short period of time it will let the second call through.

    The pessimist in me knows it’s just a matter of time until robo callers figure that one out and start double calling, but it is nice peace of mind for now.

  • Because I still think the safety and convenience for my family and I outweighs the privacy impact, it’s a camera pointed at a public street.

  • I got a Eufy doorbell cam years ago because you can do local storage, but I think in 2022 or 23 they were called out for not being fully encrypted, iirc it was the thumbnails for push notifications that weren’t being properly encrypted.

    And that somehow also turned into a realization that Eufy was using those thumbnails to build a facial database because each face had a unique ID in the metadata.

    I should really switch away but haven’t had the money, hopefully soon.

  • Really cool, but really scary, all I see is facial biometrics from 1 km away.

  • iOS, unfortunately, but thank you!

    I think there are similar options, but I’m pretty burned out on side loading at this point after doing it with emulators for years

  • The view farming in shorts makes it even harder to avoid as well. Sure, I can block the JRE channel, for example, but that doesn’t stop me from getting JRE clips from probably day-old accounts which just have some shitty music thrown on top. If you can somehow block those channels, there’s new ones the next day, ad infinitum.

    It’s too bad you can’t just disable the tab entirely, I feel like I get sucked in more than I should. I’ve tried browser extensions on mobile which remove the tab, but I haven’t had much luck with PiPing videos from the mobile website, so I can’t fully stop the app.

  • These are feeds that you have to follow, and the “algorithm” is defined by the feed creator. This isn’t BS forcing stuff on people.

  • The Ithaca, N.Y., university said … that ATT and Verizon's smartphones, routers and other products violate its patent rights in technology for improving the efficiency and signal strength of Wi-Fi-enabled devices.

    The lawsuits said two Cornell engineering professors invented the technology described in the two patents, related to Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 wireless standards. Cornell received the patents in 2010 and 2011.

    Cornell said that the companies infringe its patents by making and selling Wi-Fi-enabled devices that use the same wireless technology.

    I’m confused, shouldn’t they be suing manufacturers? Or are there OEM products that ATT and Verizon are both selling just relabeled which are the products the lawsuit is about?

  • He’s going to rename the i series to something ridiculous like i69, i420, i1337, and iX isn’t he?
