I have wireless android auto and sometimes I wished it didn’t have it, for shorter trips I prefer to have no map, just the car radio, and for longer trips you have to plug the phone to charge anyway because navigation uses a massive amount of battery

Cloudflare knows almost everything done from your IP address because they’re used by the majority of websites. And some websites are using a cloudflare signed TLS certificate so if cloudflare wants, can see the content of the communication instead of an encrypted package

So they know if you have a human behavior (visiting many different websites at human speed and having rests during sleeping time) or if you have a bot behavior (sending millions of requests to the same endpoint at superhuman speeds)

A program that is supposed to make money when you’re sleeping by automatically trade currency pairs. Usually they aren’t as miraculous as their devs are stating.

It stands as “expert advisor”

I did, because I wanted to run multiple copies of it.

The cracked version was running much more smoothly (10x less memory usage) due to missing DRM encryption

My thoughts on it from a decade ago: https://www.forexperiments.com/2012/10/the-price-of-protection.html

This said, most expert advisors programs aren’t really functional, need a human supervision. IMHO the devs make more money from the sales/subscriptions of their software than running their “money making machines”. After all, if your “completely automated money machine” actually works, why would you bother in paying marketing, DRM schemes to have other people using it?

they fired the guy that single handedly managed meshcommander https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCommander

it was a tool to remotely control intel vpro machines, intel’s own tool is not as good as what the old ex-employee did in his free time

it’s because people arrive 1 minute before closing time asking for a task that takes 15 minutes and the employees are rightfully fed with that, because the owner won’t pay the extra time

i just tried it on zorin os and it just wanted

maybe that’s a windows thing

I tried to seed the torrents but I never found anything that needed seeds, most users download via browser

But at the same time they paid reddit millions to train on “authoritative” posts like that one from “fuckSmith” that suggested to add glue to pizza

It depends how they make them. Some plant based burgers are just made with scraps from soy milk production, look like expired meat and taste like polystyrene or worse while the impossible burger it’s difficult to distinguish with a blind test: the flavor, the texture and the appearance are extremely similar. They even have the fake blood in the middle

Requiring the installation of analog AM radios in automobiles is an unnecessary action that would impact EV range, efficiency and affordability (says the lobbyist)

Oh no the vehicle when driving at speed now uses 10001 watts with radio on instead of 10000 watts. Efficiency and range is ruined.

Also the $60k luxury vehicle is now unaffordable when a $1 am receiver is added in the infotainment

But they promised that they won’t use the data for it 😜

They paid millions for it just for charity

i installed macos on an external usb drive (surprised it let me do that), then booting from that i installed ddrescue via homebrew, then i was able to copy the files to the exfat partition

wasted a whole weekend for that…

Generally good at supporting phones but not at supporting computers, a 5-6 years lifetime is unacceptable from an environmental point of view.

I experienced it last week when I turned on an old Mac with MacOS 10.7. It can’t run anything. Everything that you download doesn’t run anymore, Firefox and chrome are limited to some ancient version like 40 that breaks every modern website and due to some expired SSL root certificate you can’t access any website that’s using let’s encrypt which is a big chunk.

And it’s like this not from recently but at least 5 years, so it was put in a corner and never turned on anymore until last week

It can theoretically be updated to some newer version but the updater to 10.8 has been delisted from the store so you have to alternatively source that.

For comparison, a PC that was purchased the year prior to that Mac is running the latest version of windows 10 without any issue (except slowness due to the 1st gen core architecture)

An additional problem is that the Mac is stuck to MacOS 10.7, so even if it boots again, I can’t install anything because “this operating system is not supported”. I would need to find some decade old recovery program somehow. Or find another Mac and some USB enclosure

I run chkdsk and it found that 2TB of data! But in 60000 nameless and useless chunks in the FILE.000 directory

hoping the drive tomorrow can last another day of copying…

fucking fast boot, lost my data because it’s assuming hard drives don’t change when pc is turn off

it looks like fast boot in order to save me 10 seconds on boot restored the FAT state from before the copy

i booted on another operating system and i see all the files, but the contents are all wrong, looks like everything is gone…

if you can find an identical phone you can try to enable adb blindly by touching the areas on the screen, then use scrcpy

but in that case maybe just easier to enable mtp via usb

when it happened on my pc two decades ago it was faulty VRAM. It’s because when it’s loading doesn’t use GPU. Need to replace the video card that means send the laptop to the e-waste.

edit: it’s m1 mac so there’s no vram, right? So it’s faulty GPU which means faulty SOC = completely wasted?

The CPU speed and ram size is irrelevant in this case, it’s slow because it needs to load ads and sponsored results from internet first
