8.1 was actually a massive improvement though, I doubt they’re even capable of pulling that off for 11, much less willing. 11 is flawed deeply to the core, 8 was “only” flawed on the surface (UI etc.)

As I said, specific “applications” :D

Some applications need very specific drivers and protocols that aren’t compatible with normal chips. Or you have to connect to a device via WiFi but still need internet. Also long range WiFi antennas are amazing.

Yeah, I totally get that there is a need for cheap power only cables, but why are there what feels like 30 different data “standards”. Just gimme power-only, data, and fast-data. And yeah, in 2 years there’ll be a faster data protocol, so what, that’s then fast-data24, fast-data26, etc. and manufacturers have to use a specific pictogram to label them according to the highest standard they fulfill.

I fully agree, some people just need the extra clarification though

At the store I’m at it’s handled pretty nice, we won’t stop anyone under a very low amount (single digit €) and above that it’s very dependent on your behaviour + how much you tried to steal, so you might just have to pay a 50€ fine without police involvement.

And only if the corporation is big enough. Don’t steal from your local corner store.

And also, don’t steal for profit.

I work at a hardware store, and if you steal some small shit like a file/screwdriver/whatever, you’re good. If I see you stealing 5k in light fixtures, tools, and batteries, I’ll get my bonus thank you very much.

Nazi ideology is never an opinion. It’s a threat to human rights and democracy.

What. You do realize that China has made multiple extortionist contacts with African nations in exchange for infrastructure, while they get mining rights and no supervision to continue their slavery? Depending on the source they have like twice as much mining capacity compared to all Western nations combined.

Proprietary spare parts. The motors might be off the shelf so you could grab parts from a different manufacturer. But controllers and batteries are usually proprietary making repairs much more complicated and cost-inefficient

See https://lemmy.world/comment/13252949 I haven’t tested it myself though

Nope. They initially added some data scraping parts, and apparently still use some form of telemetry without proper disclosure.

I have a Samsung ultra lux 128 for at least 6 years now, and it’s been holding up perfectly. Only the metal sheet above the port got bent a bit. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/cf1b2638-a88c-4e46-b67f-49bdc29f09e5.jpeg
so I had to bend it back with a screwdriver, however it actually does lay flat

next to keys which is pretty nice

In theory he isn’t allowed to. Practically he is, which is just as bad IMO

Yeah, no idea how I didn’t read that part 😅🤦

I doubt all his equip etc. will be enough to cover the 1 billion. So any and all patreon income could be confiscated as well.

It’s a packaging bug, the headline is false.

Even Thunderbird has a better spam filter after you train it for a few days.

I don’t remember how I did it, but I could swear that I got chirp to run on Mint

Who’s censoring anything??
