Yeah I know my sample size is pretty useless, but this was just a dumb excuse to complain about light phone because even SMB manufacturing cost wise, it should be almost comically cheap to produce.

There are lots of other hardware accessories in the same range that cost much less to buy as a consumer, that are produced by more expensive vendors.

Would bet cash money this article was sponsored by Tim Sweeny, who is also a billionaire lol.

Not saying this excuses Gabe Newell in any way, but this was made purely to attack Valve’s newly announced product.

They had no issue when a billionaire with an order of magnitude more wealth than both Tim or Gabe went around advertising his shitty Amazon MMO:

It’s impossible to say where New World will be in a year, whether it will be on the road to obscurity or finally giving World of Warcraft something to sweat about, but right now it’s a huge success that validates the commitment and patience Amazon has taken with it. Bezos may not have had a direct hand in its creation, but as the person who greenlighted Amazon’s foray into gaming more than a half-decade ago, you can understand his pride in it.

I think I’ve only ever been banned from one community, and it was an NCD clone run by the reddit equivalent sub.

The fact that you can say pretty much anything here is probably lemmy’s biggest advantage, despite it being such a low bar these days lol.

50/50 chance it sells at a premium compared to other models, making the entire idea useless

Why the hell is a light phone more expensive than a mid to high range model smartphone. I’d rather just buy that and swap the ROM if I want to remove google.

Kinda late to this thread, but OP is pretty decent for the first 300 episodes, of which I recommend you watch One Pace or read the Manga instead due to Funimation’s absolute shit tier pacing and literal stall frame timing. Seriously you will waste a solid 1/3rd of the time on filler frames and static scenes because they want to make more episodes.

The writing itself is actually pretty smooth, and the filler content (not animation) actually fits so well you probably won’t even notice its filler, because it really adds to the world building and story (and afaik is actually written by the manga author).

Everything after than, just disregard it as a Shonen franchising product designed to make money, like Pokemon.

Meh, it’s okay

Hey to be fair “civilian collateral” has been a favorite pass-time of the US military long before 2025.

No, it’s more just that LTT is basically what the Verge or any ther subpar tech outlet could be if it had actual writing talent and a hint of tech literacy.

Emphasis on a hint of tech literacy.*

Most people actually into the tech scene don’t really watch LTT that often, or find their videos severely lacking.

tbf, LTT does do a better job of providing the lens of an average consumer, and Torvalds has always kept the idea that FOSS really should not disqualify anyone from participating. He is happy to have Linux used and shown off by megacorps or individuals alike.

The correct way to hardboil eggs is actually to steam them, which is what the majority of the world does (have you ever seen someone selling hardboiled eggs? They are usually in a steam container). If you time it right, you don’t even need the ice bath to achieve an easy peel egg (though this takes practice lol).

Boiling is just a alternative method that is slightly less effective but very common because not everyone keeps a steamer basket at home.

Jack Dorsey

Go back to sleep, dude has jumped on every consumer trend ever since he left Twitter. AI content is not even a core issue of current social media platforms, despite its overwhelming popularity and loads of posts.

Problem is Microsoft has leverage in several enterprise categories like teams, office, etc.

There have been successful corporate switches in Linux, with even dedicated 1:1 UX skins to keep even the most poorly skilled users happy, but lots of corporations are just way too vendor locked.

It doesn’t matter how total garbage win 11 or teams gets, anyone locked in is gonna be stuck, kinda like what happened with vmware.

Microsoft’s biggest mistake though is basing their QoL and overall OS design on the home market. If they lose their leverage there, even mid size or older corps may seriously consider transitioning or trialing Linux as a test.

It’s very hard to convince leadership to abandon vendor locked deals, but they eat up anything that demonstrates slashed costs and improved productivity. If a vendor like SUSE shows up with a complete package, they may genuinely consider if MSFT takes a real nosedive.

Watching the boot log eh?

This is the same BS CrowdStrike uses to sell their rootkit EDR. I mean, by all means it is a very solid EDR, but it’s being used exclusively to cover gaping holes in discrete security as a cop out for not properly composing enterprise infrastructure.

A kernel space agent should only really be running in an environment where every process must be heavily scrutinized and the design of the kernel module is tightly controlled and itself under constant review, like in a proper data center with thousands of critical nodes. Not your laptop or the shitty windows box used to display ads in the screens at the airport.

Crowdstrike keeps spamming new features and techniques without serious consideration to keep their enterprise customers happy, similar to crappy solutions like Vanguard.

Covering obvious blatant logic flaws should be included in your server software, it’s the same as sanity checking your inputs because there is always the possibility in may not match what you expect.

From that experience, I’m very comfortable saying that if a game supports Proton or Linux, they’re not serious about anti-cheat

This statement is especially insulting to the massive library of games that successfully added Linux support without so much as a hint of issue relating to cheating. Even crappy outsourced dev War Thunder doesn’t need to do anything after enabling EAC/BattilEye because they actually spend the .000001% extra cash from their whale revenue to run a service moderation team.

Hell even Valve’s VAC system is mostly just about automating moderation tasks so that hackers can be taken down ASAP instead of a lengthy review process.

Or you know, the thousands of games that have better game logic than Rust’s anticheat.

Look at this guy using btrfs like a normal chump. Real men yolo XFS with no backup and spam duperemove for the 10% faster performance.

Now to run xfs_repair real quick after my power outage…

They said they went LCD because of the light loss due to the lenses.

I dunno if they could implement a controlled backlit array + high constrast panel layer at that scale, but it would be killer if they did and made it seem 80% like a real OLED.

Gonna become the $2 waterboard rag method for insubordination

I think he’s over blowing the 5 dollar wrench method.

Unless you live in a place where human rights are disregarded like every possible moment, they’d probably only resort to torturing you to gain access if they believe you are somehow connected or have ancillary evidence that points to you. IE that darkweb dude they tortured in Turkey to gain access to his encrypted laptop containing incriminating evidence.

Otherwise they’ll just do a preemptive raid hoping that it leads to new information.

Like right now border patrol has been forcing foreigners to show data on their mobile devices to see if you have any roasted vance memes so they can turn you away. But in many cases, it has been done because they already had you flagged as posting or sharing roasted vance memes online.

Of course you could also always be in a craphole country where they’ll torture you anyway, regardless if they have any reason to believe you are connected to something, but simply due to the fact that you opted to use FDE or any practical security scheme.
