  • Even Google products have a longer lifespan 😖

    I've since moved on to Tidal. Bought it at $30 when root mods started to be developed, but never really went anywhere.

  • ...I just put a Zigbee contact sensor on my mailbox lid and called it a day...

  • To be fair "potential next president" already answers if someone is corruptable

  • As a Thinkpad user since the early 2000s, I'm extremely excited to see this news after I've slowly watched all of my repair & upgrade ability be removed.

  • Not sure if you're referring to telegram or signal. If you're referring to signal:

    Is it private? Can I trust it? - Signal Support

    Signal conversations are always end-to-end encrypted, which means that they can only be read or heard by your intended recipients. Privacy isn’t an optional mode — it’s just the way that Signal works. Every message, every call, every time.

    The complete source code for the Signal clients and the Signal server is available on GitHub. This enables interested parties to examine the code for security and correctness.

  • I've heard the 24.04 installer is having issues. I would hold off for an update for them to patch other stuff as well

  • You'll always have the option to keep it blank. Meanwhile other (myself included) like to have some information at a glance that doesn't require us to unlock our phones

  • Can confirm they're real as well as the reaction

  • Boomerang was an old feature on Instagram where it would just take a video and then loop it backwards when it reached the end. It was a really stupid phenomenon that nobody really used, hence the reason the got rid of it.

  • Ctrl + shift + alt + win + any letter opens office apps

    • W - Word
    • P - PowerPoint
    • T - teams
    • N - OneNote

    ...etc

    LinkedIn just happens to be L. If there isn't an app installed (or available) it'll just open in your browser.

    I actually found these a few years ago when I decided to press every modifier letter combination. Back then it wasn't documented anywhere but I've seen it pop up a few times in the last month so somebody must've found and shared it recently

  • A value is trying to be set on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame. Try using .loc[row_indexer,col_indexer] = value instead See the caveats in the documentation: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/indexing.html#indexing-view-versus-copy

  • Not on fedora, but on Neon with a 3070. KDE 6 will lock up on Xorg, while electron apps will flash on Wayland, though there is a flag to enable Wayland support, it keeps dropping off of discord every time it updates. Running nvidia 550 proprietary, haven't gotten to use the open ones yet as I need cuda for work

  • Wow, super missed that. April 10th. I just had it on a Pixel 2xl not too long ago

  • Definitely not as big as it used to be. Lineage, Graphene, and Pixel Experience are just about the only players left. Graphene doesn't officially support anything other than pixels actively supported by Google though.

  • I just moved into a house with my friend and he gave me full reign to smart home the house. Every light has an Innr Zigbee bulb, which are great for having colors during parties and color temperature throughout the day (Adaptive Lighting in HACS), as well as motion controls in the hallway (which has a broken 2 way switch) and kitchen. The front porch light turns on when I come home if I'm on foot, and the back porch light comes on if I'm driving. The lights in the living room turn down if something's playing and it pauses if I leave the room. We've got an old android tablet I stole from the trash on the kitchen wall for a shopping list as well as an overview of the house. They washer and dryer have vibration sensors so we get an alert on our Google homes when our load is finished (we're both forgetful as fuck). I had an extra contact sensor left over from the doors that I put on the mailbox, so we get a nice AOL "you've got mail" when the mailman comes.

    Frankly I don't know how I survived without automation. I forget things so much less now.

  • Mythbusters: Driving Drunk Vs Mobile Phone

    Edit: Episode Part 1/3 Part 3/3 (I couldn't find 2/3 anywhere annoyingly enough)

    TL:DW: They found driving while using a cell phone is potentially as dangerous as driving drunk. They scored lower in their crash course while on the phone

    Important to note:

    • They didn't mention how much alcohol was consumed (or they did in the episode and not in this clip, give me a break I found this in 2 minutes on the shitter)
    • ~~They show them taking a breathalyzer test. Im going to assume they were testing to be over the limit to get a DUI (.08% in the US), though it's not shown or mentioned ~~ A clip of part 3/3 says that they stayed below the legal limit (@ .065%) so they would NOT be legally intoxicated
    • The sample size is like, 2. Not very statistically accurate, as mythbusters is entertainment and not a real scientific study
    • Theyre on a closed course. No pedestrians, no stop lights, no other drivers, no "unpredictable" variables in which you would need your reaction time, which would be impaired if you were drunk
    • Theyre using flip phones held up to their ears, on a phone call. Results probably vary (though are probably worse) texting vs a phone call and on modern devices vs old ones

    No real claim either way to one being worse. Moral of the story being get off your fucking phone and don't drive drunk and you dont need to worry. Dreizehn@kbin.social's claims aren't necessary wrong, but they're not necessary right either

  • As far as I'm aware they can only be used on Android. I did a search for APK on Roku and I all found were some articles erroneously calling custom channels APKs. Roku does let you side load custom channels in developer mode, but you can remove software like you can on an android box, so you're always stuck with Roku's ad riddled home page and whatever injects ads into HDMI

  • Roku is not android based, and doesn't have an accessible ADB interface or similar

  • HTPC or Google TV. With Google TV you can at least ADB the shit away

  • My April fools prank you on my friends was a fake news article. It would've worked if any of them actually read past the headline.

    In the same regards, it's a toggle if you want it to come back automatically. You can still turn off Bluetooth and leave it off. The feature is there so you don't turn off Bluetooth and lose your device & the only way to track it

    Edit: fixed typo
