you can only take five photos per day without paying for a subscription, which costs $0.99 / month or $10.99 USD / year
Are you kidding me with this shit?! I have no problem with paying $11 straight up for an app, so it's not about the money. I simply refuse to encourage the garbage "subscription all the things" model.
He will. By fucking capitulating completely, and letting Putler walk all over Europe.
If you think Trump will do anything but prop up Netenyahu even more, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Preach.
What's likely going to happen though, is a generation of school kids continue to use Chromebooks because that's what they've been taught since grade one. And you know who is even more egregious in ignoring privacy than Microsoft? It's a company whose name starts with a "G" and ends with "oogle".
Yes. But back then, the consumer protections actually meant something, and the regulatory agencies weren't defanged and neutered. Nowadays, giant corporations point and laugh at the fines and continue business as usual.
The "You get what you pay for" excuse doesn't hold up. My 77-inch LG OLED cost over $3k USD. It's still full of ads and spies on me unless i neuter it.

In every community, there is always another power-hungry asshole ready to jump on the opportunity to have a tiny bit of control over somebody else.
Mods not modding is nothing new to reddit. The only impact they would feel is if users stopped posting. I don't see that happening though.
It's 7-D chess. He wants to use x-Twitter as a tax wire-off.
A company I worked for a decade ago used Greek and Norse gods to name our servers. There was Odin and Thor, Zeus and Dionysius, etc. Having been a huge fan of Stargate SG-1, I kept suggesting various Goa'uld names, and one made it through - Chronos.
That's as close to mythology as I got.
House Republicans to call on Tuesday for an investigation into whether the use of taxpayer funds for security for the trip violated ethics rules.
The gall! How dare they open up their dirty word holes to preach anyone about ethics when half of them are bought and paid for by the highest bidder! Fucking unreal.
In other words, "conservative".
I, for one, thank the German government for introducing me to a new site.
I also choose this guy's dead wife.
You can't 3D print a gun, but you can buy one without a background check. Brilliant.
Never stopped them before from still passing half-assed laws.
Let's not equate beatings and other child abuse to not having music during school hours.
I'm considering Inovelli Blue 2-1 switches for a new (to me) house. I'm pretty sure the electrical wiring in that place predates the American Civil War, so no neutral wires, and no plans to rip out the walls to rectify that. Would I be able to use the light switches for basic on/off/dimmer functions and have them in Home Assistant via the SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 Plus-E dongle?
I have HA up and running in my current place, but have way too many cloud enabled hubs (TP-Link Kasa, IKEA Tradfre, Lutron Caseta, just to name a few) that I want to replace with a fully self-hosted solution. Already bought and configured the Sonoff ZigBee dongle in anticipation. The only other hitch is that the gangboxes may be too small to fit larger switches and I may need to hire an electrician to replace around 20 of them.
Also it seems that Inovelli Aux switches for the multi-way setups are sold out everywhere. From what I understand, those are simply dumb switches with some extra bells and whistles. What alternatives are there for those?
I recently got clued into the fact that you can enable side-loading on Roku devices. However, I have no idea where to get the apps for it. Since Rokus don't run Android, I can't install APKs like I did on my Nvidia Shield TV. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
I mostly make videos of my family vacations and such as a hobby.
A distant family member liked my edits, and now wants to hire me to shoot a video of a professional conference. I haven't accepted yet, and I'm reluctant to because I've never done anything on this level before. They're quite desperate because they can't find a "real" videographer for their budget ($500 USD for ~4 hour shoot). Money is not really a concern for me. I'd love to do this job, but I don't want to let them down if something goes wrong.
I only have one camera - Fuji X-T3, and one lens decent enough to possibly work in low-light indoor setting - Sigma 16mm f/1.4. I'm worried about data loss since even though the X-T3 has dual SD Card slots, it only writes video to one of them. I also don't own any lighting equipment aside from a GoDox flash (not even a remote trigger for it). I do have a gimbal for stabilization, but very little experience actually filming with it. And of course the fact that they're extended family complicates things even further.
Not sure what else I should be worried about. Should I bite the bullet and take the job? I'll be up-front with the client about both my (lack of) experience and limited equipment, of course.
I absolutely hate "smart" TVs! You can't even buy a quality "dumb" panel anymore. I can't convince the rest of my family and friends that the only things those smarts bring are built-in obsolescence, ads, and privacy issues.
I make it a point to NEVER connect my new 2022 LG C2 to the Internet, as any possible improvements from firmware updates will be overshadowed by garbage like ads in the UI, removal of existing features (warning: reddit link), privacy violations, possible attack vectors, non-existent security, and constant data breaches of the manufacturers that threaten to expose every bit of personal data that they suck up. Not to mention increased sluggishness after tons of unwanted "improvements" are stuffed into it over the years, as the chipset ages and can no longer cope.
I'd much rather spend a tenth of the price of my TV on a streaming box (Roku, Shield TV, etc.) and replace those after similar things happen to them in a few years. For example, the display of my OG 32-inch Sony Google TV from 2010 ($500) still works fine, but the OS has long been abandoned by both Sony and Google, and since 2015-16 even the basic things like YouTube and Chrome apps don't work anymore. Thank goodness I can set the HDMI port as default start-up, so I don't ever need to see the TV's native UI, and a new Roku Streaming Stick ($45) does just fine on this 720p panel. Plus, I'm not locked into the Roku ecosystem. If they begin (continue?) enshitifying their products, there are tons of other options available at similar price.
Most people don't replace their TVs every couple of years. Hell, my decade old 60-inch Sharp Aquos 1080p LCD TV that I bought for $2200 back in 2011 still works fine, and I only had to replace the streamer that's been driving it twice during all this time. Sony Google TV Box -> Nvidia Shield TV 2015 -> Nvidia Shield TV 2019. I plan to keep it in my basement until it dies completely before replacing it. The Shield TV goes to the LG C2 so that I never have to see LG's craptastic UI.
Sorry, just felt the need to vent. Would be very interested in reading community's opinions on this topic.
Currently, as I'm reading through a post and collapsing some replies, if I reply to one of them the app expands all of the previously collapsed ones. Same thing if I go back to the feed and then return to the post.
Refreshing the post functions normally though and keeps the collapsed state of replies.
I go to Settings, check the "Set up 2-factor authentication" box, click Save, reload the page, but clicking on "2FA installation link" does nothing. I tried copying the "secret" value from the link and using it to manually add an account in my 2FA app (Authy) but that doesn't seem to work. The account gets added, but the codes it generates don't seem to work for logging in (using a different browser).
I really don't want to lock myself out. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known issue?
