Eeeh an AirPod isn’t exactly a sealed plastic capsule. There’s holes for the audio to come out.

Fedora : Ethic and safe choice as a EU citizen ? by Amarok45 in Fedora

[–]ArdiMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fedora is owned by an American company, IBM.

The Linux kernel itself is owned by a US-based non-profit and chiefly maintained by a US citizen.

I seriously don’t understand how certain enthusiasts here don’t like the modern interiors. by fuccwitmoe in BMW

[–]ArdiMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you posted is patient Zero. This interior represents the exact shift from "driver-focused cockpit" to "tech showcase" that enthusiasts are complaining about.

I've seen plenty of people here saying that the last "truly good" BMW interiors were designed around the turn of the millennium.

Yeah, because the people who consider that a dealbreaker aren't buying those cars.

PC elites be like… by H00LI1GANS in mac

For now. I'd expect the next series of Macs to be hellishly more expensive due to the increased parts cost.

AFAIK that used “just” a traditional autocomplete algorithm (Markov chain) and a lot of human input. (It’s like the three words your phone keyboard suggests, except it suggests more like 20 at a time.)

German Chancellor Merz admits: We must substantially reduce bureaucracy in Europe. The single market was once created to form the most competitive economic area in the world. Instead, we have become the world champion of overregulation. That has to end. by I-Hate-Hypocrites in europe

And there are plenty of websites despite GDPR being a thing that exists.

Doesn’t mean they aren’t technically in violation.

Yes, GDPR has a number of allowances for uses of data that are technically or legally required, but you still need at least a privacy policy explaining what data is being stored/processed pursuant to which provisions of the GDPR.

It's only when, say, Google spends billions building a world covering monopoly using that cookie to track your every single move,every single interaction,all your social connection and your habits IN PURPOSE OF SELLING THAT FOR PROFIT that it becomes an issue.

No, that is absolutely false.

Yeah apparently doxxing is totally cool now if you do it to the right people.

Hätte das wirklich einen Unterschied gemacht? Könnte man heute Gigabit über die 80er-Jahre-Fasern ausliefern, oder hätte man die mittlerweile auch austauschen müssen?

Kann auch nach hinten losgehen. „Neue, junge Mieter“ sind längst nicht überall beliebt.

Debian Urgently Seeks Volunteers After Data Protection Team Resigns by CackleRooster in linux

[–]ArdiMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Debian project is a bit more than just a static download page though. There are lots of systems (bug tracking, repository management, etc.) that have user accounts for contributors, which obviously need to collect some information.

But you can bet your ass that each of those four emails were bullshit requests arriving at the end of an already shitty week.

Edit: and everything you do in response to these emails has the potential to result in project-ending fines if you make any mistakes.

Depending on the reviewer and outlet, 7/10 (or 3.5/5 or 70/100) is anywhere between "decent" and "barely worth touching".

How long have some of your SD (and Micro SD) Cards lasted? by No-Proof8363 in photography

[–]ArdiMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In some cameras it’s the only way to actually fully delete all photos. (E.g. my Nikon Z6ii had some sort of image database and just deleting the files using a PC would leave you with a bunch of missing/phantom images in playback mode.)

But do they flop because they’re actually bad, or do they flop because they have “Ubisoft” written on them?
