But that’s not a burner phone, that’s an off phone.

How’s about a patent that expires 5 years after its first use by a billion+ dollar company? 5 years after it is used in more than 10,000 products? 5 years after its licensing has yielded over $1M in profit? 5 years after spending over $100k on advertising? 5 years after your first major court settlement?

I think there are ways to protect individual innovators but also lessen patent abuse

All of the banks I’ve used in the past utilize email or SMS for 2FA, which isn’t the must secure, but doesn’t require an app.

“This sub is now entirely dedicated to discussing u/Spez’s involvement in moderating jailbait subreddits”

Sure, there are risks, but if the alternatives are pony up $100k for a new exosuit, or just don’t fucking walk again, I see why repair is an enticing option.

I’ve started choosing the companies I use based much more on the experience offered when their product/service DOESN’T work, rather than when it does.

Easy to do for a cell phone or a toaster, but I can’t imagine there’s a ton of options for exosuits that correct your condition, covered by your insurance, that your doctor is familiar enough with to prescribe (for lack of a better term).

Some things are annoying to make abandonware, and some things should be criminal.

If these companies are marketing their AI as being able to provide “answers” to your questions they should be liable for any libel they produce.

If they market it as “come have our letter generator give you statistically associated collections of letters to your prompt” then I guess they’re in the clear.

The problem is these AI companies currently exist on the business model of not paying for information, and that generally includes not wanting to pay content curators.

Google is probably the only one in a position to potentially outsource by making everyone solve a “does this hand look normal to you” CAPTCHA

They can try and train AI to detect AI, but that’s also difficult.

Also a good way to wear down your SD port if you remove this with any regularity.

Someone watched an old Bond film.

You fucking watch yourself, alright? You’re on thin ice.

just tried disconnecting the “smart” part of my desktop pc. Now all I have is an expensive space heater.

For a professional sysadmin’s home network? Maybe. For the average Joe who probably has their 12-year-old toaster still connected to their wifi? I wouldn’t bank on it.

Unpaid Linux ambassadors? Isn’t that just Lemmy?

My wall outlet charger puts out 250 kWh, if you leave it in for 2 weeks straight…

As someone in the market for a new sound system - looking for recommendations for something wireless w/ Dolby Atmos. Any suggestions?

As does Ecosia.

Yeah, always site:reddit.com if I need it, SEO spam has gotten so trashy.

TBF that’s a textbook monopoly.

Honestly I don’t know, but it seems to me like extracting every single frame of a video as a lossless PNG is only really something that’s necessary if you’re trying to archive something or do frame by frame restoration. Either way, it is something that you hopefully aren’t doing every day, so why not just let it run overnight & move on?

Otherwise ask yourself if you can settle with just extracting a single clip/section, or what’s actually wrong with lossy jpeg with a low -qscale:v (high quality) - start around 5 and work down until you visually can’t see any difference
