FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days
  • I'm the only person I know who buys their phones unlocked. I think a lot of people rely on the store where they buy the phone to set it up and get all their stuff transfered over. Just getting a new phone in the mail is a recipe for disaster for like a solid 60% of the US population.

  • [Gamers Nexus] "Google is Getting Worse," ft. Wendell of Level1 Techs
  • I recently started using Tresorit, E2E encrypted cloud storage, owned by the swiss post, only downside I can find is price. I haven't used it long enough to really be able to recommend, but there aren't a ton of options out there.

  • Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks
  • I mean most of the issues have been from the assembly process and not the fundamental design. However I would argue designing something you can't reliably assemble is just as bad. Adhesive needs to be done right on every unit and it's impossible to visually inspect it in this application. Clips are a pain in the ass but I'll take them over glued on trim any day of the week.

  • How to make an EV tire that won’t pollute the environment
  • No it's not, because conservatives don't think micro plastics are a problem. Pretty soon there will be truck bros making tiktoks competing to see how quickly they can destroy a set of tires just to "trigger the libs".

  • Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?
  • This is my opinion exactly. Plus they don't have a way to upgrade storage without a family or business plan. I just want a google drive alternative for the sake of migrating away from google, not security, though it's a nice bonus. Right now you can't increase the storage on the basic plan, you can upgrade to unlimited but it only gets you 500 gb but costs a lot more. If they had a $5/month plan for 2 tb of storage and no other services I'd sign up right now.

  • Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?
  • Lastpass is the last password manager you should be using. They've had tons of data stolen, bitwarden is decent on android so I just stick to that. Should probably change passwords after switching over.

  • The Feds Want to Know How Fake Titanium Got in Boeing's Planes
  • Well the alternative here would have been to not say anything and cover it up. They found counterfeit material in their inventory and raised the alarm, nothing better they could have done. I don't know what the acquisition process was for that stock, maybe they did fuck up by buying it, but once you realize the problem is there you have to say something or people die.

  • American Airlines passenger sued by FAA after being duct taped to seat
  • Yeah exactly, people talk about how flying used to be so glamorous like it's somehow not the same as international first class is today. I walked through the first class section on a transatlantic flight once and they had fully reclining lazy boy style seats with blankets and nice food/booze. All the seats were staggered so they could fully recline and had privacy screens you could draw shut. But those tickets are thousands of dollars, like $1000-$1500/hour of flight time at minimum, if you want to spend 20k USD you can basically cross the ocean in a flying hotel.

  • YouTube's next move might make it virtually impossible to block ads
  • Yeah YouTube's real problem is the recommendations are terrible. It tries to ram the most profitable, lowest common denominator swill down your throat until it gives up and just recommends stuff you've already watched.

  • RFK Jr Rejected by Libertarians After They Loudly Booed, Heckled Trump
  • Second edit: It turns out that I’ve been misinformed about progressives supporting hate speech censorship. Sorry about the confusion. Have a good night.

    No, you were LIED to by malicious actors trying to turn you against people who are, at least broadly speaking, more aligned with your goals than against. There is a reason communists historically kill social democrats before going after fascists, because they're afraid of diluting power between similar parties. They want sole power so badly they are willing to risk fascists getting it if they think it gives them a better chance.

    Then here you come with "sorry I've been misinformed" like it was an innocent mistake. Either you know you're acting in bad faith or you're uncritically regurgitating what others have told you in bad faith. The people telling you that stuff are not your friends, they are just manipulators who want to stir shit between two groups fighting the same enemy.

    So you weren't misinformed, you just fucked up, try taking some personal responsibility and go back to figure out where you went wrong and who you should be trusting.

  • Telegram founder and CEO alledges signal has backdoors, they don't provide reproduceible builds, etc.
  • Who knows how apple decides to do anything? There may be some really stupid arbitrary reason apple modifies signal but not telegram just because apple insists on being difficult. If you don't trust apple don't use an iPhone and just download it on android.

  • The need for a Fedi Union.
  • The apps are fine, it's content quality and quantity which can only happen organically. You can't force an increase in quantity and keep quality high. Plus the fediverse is a fairly new concept with new issues that arise as it scales up. By it's very nature the fediverse cannot react and change quickly so a slow growth allows for communities to try their own solutions and eventually settle on a more universal fix.
