Cybersecurity professional with an interest in networking, and beginning to delve into binary exploitation and reverse engineering.
Yeah, the answer here is cancel prime and pirate whatever amazon video content you want. if you absolutely have to have prime for some reason, don’t sign in to amazon video on any of your devices and pirate the stuff you want to watch so at least your not contributing to views or their prime video ad revenue.
Edit - I see in another comment you said you unsubscribed, good on you.
I’ve replaced the pads on mine a couple times, the rubber on the thumb rest has a hole worn it it to the plastic, and the braided cable is all frayed and stuff. I’ve had the thing for the past 10 years at least. I know new ones are that cheap and that I should just get a new one at this point but the thing is just a workhorse.
Yeah, Usenet servers all have a maximum retention time, usually around 3000 days or something like that. Any articles older than the retention time of your server won’t exist for you to grab, but stuff is usually reuploaded frequently. With torrents a super niche thing requires someone seeding the content all the time for it to be consistently accessible, while Usenet requires someone to reupload it once every 5-10 years (barring takedowns) which imo is more consistently stable, but as the other poster said having both ensures your bases are covered. I personally don’t really torrent anything beyond oddball bbc2+ documentaries at this point though.
You shouldn’t spend the money now because normalizing payment to a corporation worth $2.47 trillion for future services rendered is a terrible thing to do.
I’m just going to add that the web ui on mobile is great. Good enough that I’ve stopped using mlem. Mlem doesn’t show you the different instances that users and communities are coming from which doesn’t really matter for users but is super annoying for communities, and the main dev said that’s intentional. It also shows you your “karma”, through what I’m assuming is just adding up the raw up/downvotes your posts/comments have accrued. Seeing that is what ultimately made me bounce, it seems like the complete antithesis of what Lemmy is trying to be about.
Also, while they’re working on adding a NSFW blur, it doesn’t exist yet and fuck seeing all that loli ai porn on my feed. I don’t mind having to scroll past stuff I’m not interested in, but fuck me at least blur it.
6 now with my comment. It’s 200% more lively here!
Despite their issues I put hundreds of hours into each one and enjoyed them all. I see no reason to think this won’t be the same, and have no problem betting $70 on it.
Really the issue here is that there are very few reasons to hand a company your money before they are prepared to deliver you a product. There are even fewer reasons when the product is most likely going to be purchased and delivered digitally, since there is zero chance the product will be sold out. When a game is being developed by Microsoft-owned Bethesda, they don’t need preorder money to finish the game.
I’m not 100% sure on the answer to that.
Twitter relies on Google Cloud to host services…
So I’m assuming that means that Twitter is either using GCP to host cloud-based internally developed services, or SaaS deployments in the cloud, but that’s just a complete guess on my part.> n Musk’s takeover. Since “at least” March, Twitter has been pushing to renegotiate the contract
Edit - This section was in the next paragraph lol.
Now, Platformer has reported that a Twitter service called Smyte—an automated anti-abuse and anti-harassment tool that was previously operating on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)—will potentially shut down on June 30. This could lead to a flood of spam bots and CSAM on Twitter as bots and content could fail to be removed.
So it sounds like it’s an internally built Twitter service that they host in GCP.
Scroll to the bottom of your page and click the Instances link. For you it should be https://beehaw.org/instances.
There’s no corporation or company in the mix here.
Well, this isn’t exactly how I saw the Singularity Church of the MachineGod getting started but I’m still here for it.
I created a cybersecurity community: !cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works
Whether you’re a seasoned cybersecurity professional, a student, or someone with a passing interest, feel free to join and contribute! I’ve been posting relevant news articles and research as I find them, but I would love for there to be more social/conversational posts as well.
Don’t follow the link directly.
https://lemmy.ml/c/thruhiking.When you clicked Search, your instance started fetching posts from the thruhiking community on the lemmy[.]ml instance and storing it on your beehaw[.]org instance. Give it a second, then click search again. You should now see the community in the results.
Click it, and you’ll go to the community through your instance, keeping you logged in and able to subscribe and all that stuff.
This process only has to happen if you’re the first person on your instance to search for that particular community.
I did not even realize this was something that existed. I am now also worried for it lol. I don’t think I’ll even pirate this, it looks too bad to even hate watch if this trailer is anything to go by.
I feel like I’ve been specifically called out by the “borderline lethal amounts of adderall” bit, especially since it’s listed for Hackerman.
I’m pretty sure there has been mention, either by the Lemmy devs on a post here or on the projects GitHub repo, about adding a feature analogous to the multireddit feature on that site. It’s definitely a feature I would appreciate, and would go hand in hand with what you’re describing as well.
You could GDPR the Lemmy servers that are within the EU jurisdiction, but good luck enforcing that outside of EU.
Yup. In order for something like the GDPR to be effective, it requires centralization to both implement and enforce. A decentralized platform is inherently incompatible with that. I don’t think any attempt should be made to integrate any semblance of GDPR compliance into Lemmy’s code base if it’s just for compliance’s sake.
The tool cannot be liable itself, obviously, but the creators of the tool and those who wield it absolutely can…
I absolutely agree with you here. The creators of the tool are responsible for its content. I’m a complete supporter of Section 230 in the US, but I absolutely do not think that sort of protection should apply to companies like OpenAI. Their tool created the content, their tool “published” the content, they are responsible for that content.
Hasn’t foveated rendering been a holy grail for real PC gaming headsets like the Index, HTC Vive, etc., for quite a while? As far as I know that technology is not supported in any current headset, which if it was would drastically increase performance/graphical fidelity while keeping frame times much lower, under that 8/12ms mark.
I would classify the smoothness of the gesture controls and camera feed to be quite a major breakthrough in usability as well.
This is the first time in quite a while that I am legit giddy over a new piece of technology. While Apple knocked it out of the park with Apple silicon, a lot of people were wondering why Apple initially bothered in the first place, and why they licensed ARM just to engineer their own custom ARM chip. I don’t think it’s that much of a leap to assume that Apple developing the Apple silicon chips was driven due to the Vision Pro. The M2 chips have amazing compute performance, there’s zero way that an Intel processor would meet the size, battery life, TDP, or overall heat generation requirements to match the performance Apple has touted for the Vision Pro.
Another point to mention is the focus that Apple put on text legibility during their keynote announcement of the thing. I have an OG Playstion VR headset and an Index. Text smears. In every headset I’ve used text smears. It’s decent in the Index, but playing something like Elite: Dangerous really makes it apparent thanks to the HUD elements on the edges of your vision. It’s super nice to be able to pin a web browser inside your ships cockpit for planning trade route jumps and stuff, but I would not want to use my Index for my daily desktop use for work or continual training. I can’t imagine how miserable using a terminal emulator and vim would be in an Index. If Apple’s claims about the text usability and general UI smoothness is true, which I completely believe given their obsession with UI/UX and aEstHeTic in general, that alone is game-changing.
For better or worse, certain values seem to have been ingrained into the fabric of Apple, to the point that most of Apple’s vision seems to have remained relatively unchanged after Jobs. Zuckerberg hasn’t shown any vision other than “collect data on people and extract profit”, and no one at Facebook/Meta has done anything to show any different vision from the company. At least Amazon’s focus on efficiency and scale brought us AWS. The massive differences between what is essentially the same product between both companies does a really good job of highlighting the major differences between the companies.
That’s been my life for the past 10 years, you won’t regret it at all.
