Ho preso un flixbus verso una città di cui non farò nome per evitare di andare in stereotipi, ma che comunque fa quasi rima con fragola (tranne l'accento). Sceso alle 6,45, arrivo alla stazione dei treni in meno di dieci minuti, tiro fuori il portafoglio dalla tasca interna del giubbotto che era pure chiusa con la zip per comprare il biglietto e... già rubato! Sono rimasto scioccato dall'efficienza e velocità: 5 stelle al borseggiatore e al suo modo di dare il benvenuto al turista scemo di turno

Wow that's an awesome project! Thanks for sharing, now I can get a camera that's inexpensive, has everything I want and doesn't require malware to be installed on my phone/network!

The maximum price that I'm willing to pay for a brand new Xbox x (or whatever it's called this week) is $150 and only if it comes with a blu-ray reader and two wireless controllers

 

Per qualche motivo è quasi un mese che octopus energy mi bombarda di ads su YouTube. Il loro selling point è che se hai un problema, il call center ti risponde entro 20 secondi, con decine di finte recensioni video con attori che dicono "wow per me l'assistenza tecnica di octopus energy è top"

Scusate ma voi avete mai chiamato l'assistenza tecnica del vostro gestore energetico? Io mai nella mia vita. Cioè sì, i call center di Enel mi triturano le palle 4 volte al giorno pregandomi in ginocchio di fare questo dannato contratto, ma da parte mia non ho mai avuto alcun bisogno di chiamare.

Anche perché mettiamo che hai un blackout, chiamo l'assistenza e che dice? "Eh c'è un blackout, contatti la società di distribuzione, noi ci occupiamo solo della vendita"

confrontato coi miliardi che ci hanno guadagnato sopra questi dati, è come se fosse una notizia del genere:

"passante smarrisce una monetina da 50 centesimi mentre sale sulla metro, un fortunato la trova"

I'm sure it's not a service problem.

People have no problem in paying €500/year to watch 1 match / week only from a single device in a single household

i "fixed" the problem of those fucking bots by blocking everyone except my country

LOL if 4gb of memory is pretty minimal I am curious to know that they think to be resource intensive.

The maximum memory I am willing to allocate to a lxc container dedicated to bookmark management (=something that I access twice a month) is 256mb

This is an ad, so the computer pictured is not fictional, but it's the HP Mediasmart ex470 (I think this joke book was even bundled with the first units)

They used really shitty processors so it's ewaste, maybe it can be acquired for cheap and repurposed with some mini itx board

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 2 points 3 months ago

I think it depends by the manufacturer and how they programmed the charger, I got two HP ProBook that almost exclusively got used when plugged in and after a decade they can still last over two hours, instead my Thinkpad t42 with the same usage pattern now just barely holds enough for shutting down the system

About the second question, yes, now for "safety", only bambu slicer can directly send prints to the a1 mini, it got the enshittification update too.

if you need to buy it, for that budget i'd choose something like an used Lenovo m910q tiny that banks and offices are throwing to the landfill because Microsoft said that everyone needs to buy a new PC. Half the price, similar power consumption (in idle, otherwise much more), much more powerful, comes with nvme and sata slots, hdmi and usb 3

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 3 points 3 months ago

yes and no, unfortunately i need to use banking apps and the product managers who are giving the instructions for the app are complete assholes who put the most draconian detection systems

This is the one with mercury switches, right? Perfect for a kid's game in the living room

 

It drives me crazy every time I use it

 
 

TL;DR: it looks like there are routers on the market that use gpt APIs to classify new, never seen before websites and add them to the blocklist in real time

This allows everyone to run something like the "great firewall of China" - and imagine what a government could do

Full story:

At work the boss got persuaded to pay some thousands for a fortinet firewall to cripple the customers free wifi (the extremely stupid idea is to sell them an unblock code, but I live in a country where with 10 euro per month people can get 100gb of 5G connection, who's going to pay?)

I tried that network and I was really shocked how crippled it was. Boss decided to block anything related to gaming, for example. You visit a small game developer page and it initially works but after a few minutes, you get a "blocked" page (but customers can't see that because nowadays everything uses HTTPS and they don't have the self signed CA on their system - they just see HTTPS certificate error). I tried multiple times but always the same result, after a few minutes is blocked.

Everything that corporate thinks it's not appropriate, it's blocked!

I felt more frustrated using this network than the time that I lived in China! (Left a few years before COVID, don't know the internet situation now)

When I came back home I took a shower and I thought to it under the hot water. At home I'm using gpt4o in karakeep to classify my bookmarks... and a router can also do the same.

 

Same company acquired two very similar apps.

One required a $14/year subscription, the other $90/year

So they "carefully considered this decision" by delisting the cheaper one for the more expensive one. Boom, 500% cost increase

Don't want to pay? Well, your files are hostage. Stop paying and lose your data.

Ps: remember the lie "subscription for software assures constant updates"?

The announcement serves as the final nail in the coffin for one of the iPad’s oldest and most popular sculpting apps, which hasn’t received any major updates since 2023.

 

And from the glowing reviews it's clear that

  1. W11 doesn't actually need a new PC to run and the limitations are completely artificial

  2. For many people, a ten years old PC is fast enough (or even faster than a brand new Intel N100 PC that is officially W11 compatible). They won't even notice that's something from 2015, as long it has a shiny new case, enough RAM and SSD

  3. Amazon doesn't care that the PC comes with pirated software, or that someone is scamming their customers, as long they get their 15% cut from marketplace sales (the cost of a genuine license of W11 pro and office exceeds the price of those ewaste specials)

 

Libro fisico trovato in una libreria

A ogni pagina il becco e l'aspetto del gabbiano cambia, il Papa chatgpt l'ha fatto completamente diverso, ci sono mani con 4 dita, crocifissi storti, bottoni che mancano, ecc

Certo, per 2 euro non c'è il margine per pagare gli autori, ma mi ha fatto quasi vomitare

 

Venerdì 30 ho comprato un oggetto del valore di 18 euro su un sito terzo (non Amazon).

Sabato 31 alle 8 di sera mi arriva una email "spedito con Amazon shipping".

Domenica 1 mi arriva una email "il tuo ordine è in consegna" subito alle 9 di mattina

Mi ha fatto pensare parecchio

  1. Non c'era alcun bisogno di tenere gente alle 8 di sera di un sabato a spedire pacchi, specie prima di un weekend lungo 31-1-2 giugno che è perfetto per andare al mare

  2. La consegna la domenica mattina??????? Ho messo l'indirizzo di lavoro (palese che fosse una azienda) e quale azienda è aperta la domenica, non che meno una domenica a cavallo del ponte perfetto??

  3. Hanno tenuto uno in catena di imballaggio fino a un'ora improponibile il sabato, e un altro a consegnare la domenica mattina un pacco che comunque non solo non era consegnabile fino al 3 giugno, ma non era nemmeno urgente. E tutti quelli nel magazzino che rimettono sullo scaffale i pacchi non consegnati. Poteva benissimo essere imballato il 3 giugno e consegnato il 4 giugno. Che senso ha pagare qualcuno la domenica (con uno stipendio più alto del normale, giusto?) per fare andirivieni con un pacco?

  4. Questa mania che la spedizione deve essere sempre gratuita anche se si tratta di una penna BIC da 50 cent consegnata a mano ad Anacapri in una casa remota raggiungibile solo a piedi facendo 500 scalini in salita. I siti terzi per offrirla "gratuita" (cioè: comunque la pagano includendola nel prezzo) si devono rivolgere al loro principale concorrente per consegnare gli ordini perché altrimenti su 18 euro non c'è margine.

 

TrueNAS systems with Apps should be upgraded immediately to 24.10.2.2, before June 1st! [...]

After June 1st, Cobia and Dragonfish users with Kubernetes Apps will need to manually back up and restore their application data and configuration to a new Electric Eel installation. The manual update process is more complex and should be avoided.

 

The claim has a non linked URL where they compare the performance of a core i3 6th gen from a decade ago (presumably with 4gb ram) with a core ultra 5 just out (presumably with quadruple the RAM)

 

Left: I opened a sealed roll of a filament purchased in 2018 and I printed that rose

Right: I dried that filament in the creality dryer overnight and sent the print again

This pic was taken on 10th April. After drying the filament I put it back in storage and I forgot about it until it exploded today
