4 months durability for an $800 phone!

My old $200 Motorola G9 Power phone lasted almost 4 years with only very minor scratches. Obviously in that period I have dropped it a few times getting out of the car, where the phone sometimes work itself out of my pant pocket while I drive, and then it slips out when I get out of the car. But no problem on my previous phones,...

Wireless charging is really good though...

I have one of those slanted chargers for desktop use, so while I'm at my desk, I just set it there (bonus that the screen is kept visible in case of a call or message)

It's reasonable to use it while it's charging on the stand, though I wouldn't enjoy doing anything landscape (it will still charge it's just very precise)

Definitely cannot deny the utility of a regular power cable if you are in bed or something and you really want to use it while charging.

Oh okay. Well that is neat then.

It's SO GOOD. I reached... An ending, but there's clearly more to do. There are at least two puzzles I'm aware of that I know I don't have all the clues for, and there are several interesting things beyond that which I don't even understand the purpose of yet.

Environmental Station Alpha tier game.

It won't happen, but imagine how satisfying it would be if TikTok was the domino that led to Citizens United being overturned

I would hope there is at least authentication of some kind...

According to the DOJ, Google destroyed potentially hundreds of thousands of chat sessions not just during their investigation but also during litigation. Google only stopped the practice after the DOJ discovered the policy.

It's capable. The reach of the platforms is enough. They're just not interested in doing so (sometimes because they are involved in pushing the misinfo to begin with)

I'm glad it seems to be limited to their weird DocuSign knockoff, which I never had cause to use.

Lucky for you! Twice over the years I have had Windows 10, the system failed to come back up after a windows update and the ability to uninstall the most recent update through the recovery partition saved me.

Agreed. I think the environmental impact is much lower as well, which is basically a win/win if prices can compete with farmed animals.

Google Photos has also been doing a fullscreen update hassle where you don't have an "don't ask again" option 😑

That was a worthwhile read, and had next to nothing to do with Doctorow.

From Mbin, it looks struck through, lol

Looks like Lemmy has decided to use a flavor of Markdown which is inconsistent from Mbin's. That's a shame.

It's incredibly important to never cut corners here. You can easily get a severe infection you may not come back from.

What are you referring to by unoptimal behavior? I'm curious because I use Firefox and have never had issues watching YouTube videos while gaming.

subignition ,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

Strange. I've never had an issue like that and Firefox has always performed just fine for me. Sorry to hear you're having issues.

You should dual boot it with Windows. Then you get the beeeeeeest of both worlds...

Discover - possible to limit download speed?

Hi, sadly I have a very limited internet connection (10 Mbit). When I'm watching a video and then install something in Discover, it takes almost all the bandwidth and the video begins to stutter & buffer. Somebody knows if there's a way to limit the download speed for discover - preferably without installing additional software?

subignition ,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

You may or may not have a mechanism to limit bandwidth on the whole connection. It could be at the router level or possibly an option on your network card configuration. If you have the capability, setting a limit at 90% of your bandwidth should leave enough room to minimize the issues you're seeing.

Not a lawyer, but if their instance doesn't have provisions about user submitted content, maybe there is some amount of weight to it?

!unpopularopinion is that way (edit: I still don't know how to link communities, whee)

In the alternative, you really need to come up with some better things to think about in the shower

subignition ,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

Ah, thank you! Mbin has a variety of formatting options but nothing to help with community links, it seems.

Lemmy try... pun intended... !unpopularopinion

Hurrah, I'll remember that. It'd be a lot more intuitive to pick up on if the commat and instance name weren't hidden from the formatted result.

@subignition@fedia.io avatar

oh, yeah, if it displayed like that for me it would have saved a lot of confusion on my part. XD

I should probably dig around in the settings and see if maybe that's a default setting I can change.

thanks again!

Hopefully we're close to realizing generative LLMs are essentially a fad, neat technology but not enough horsepower to do the real interesting stuff

Thanks for confirming I won't be having any original thoughts today :D

number of goats on Alicudi reaches six times human population

Oh god, how did 48.6 billion goats fit on the island

Please, for the love of God, VOTE! ( pawb.social )

I don’t like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...

The time to advance your ideas is everywhen except the presidential election, basically. At this timing, voting your conscience will really only be contributing to the spoiler effect.

Not in the sense that there's some separate component than body and mind.
