Don’t threaten me with a good time!

redcalcium@lemmy.instituteto Technology@lemmy.world•United Airlines passengers to see targeted ads on seat-back screensEnglish3·1 year agoIf you’re getting targeted ads for penis enlargement pills, then the system thinks you have a small pp. If this is an error, you should submit photographic evidence to their office to prove you don’t have a small pp.

IIRC there are several cases where some group of people lost big enough coins and force most of the miners to fork to get their money back. Not bitcoin though.
redcalcium@lemmy.instituteto Technology@lemmy.world•Developer posts secret key on GitHub, loses $40K in 2 minutesEnglish4·1 year agoThey notify but iirc only if you push a commit to a public repo. The dev in the article pushed it to a private repo, then later made the repo public.

If anything, streaming services turn the sex dial to 11 for a while now. It’s as if they won’t greenlight a new show unless it has a certain amount of sex and nudity scenes.
redcalcium@lemmy.instituteto Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, againEnglish21·1 year agoThen why does tidal for the same price as spotify with way less users pay four times as much to the artists than spotify?
I wonder why too. Spotify takes a 30% cut, but even if Tidal takes 0% cuts, how come it can pays 4x as much to artists? There must be more to the math to make it check out.

redcalcium@lemmy.instituteto Memes@lemmy.ml•Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources9·1 year agoGoogle does that a lot with their own web properties. I remember Google Meet didn’t support background replacement on Firefox, but switching Firefox’s user agent to Chrome suddenly fixed it.
redcalcium@lemmy.instituteto Memes@lemmy.ml•Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources131·1 year agoIt seems Mozilla is not immune to the AI hype. I just hope their AI endeavour won’t kill them when the AI hype finally ends.
redcalcium@lemmy.instituteto Memes@lemmy.ml•Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources27·1 year agoIt used to be a lot slower, which is why when Chrome showed up with its shiny new V8 engine (and other features) people switched from Firefox en masse. Now the performance difference is no longer noticeable.
The software update will remove dependency on the driver seat occupancy switch from the software and only rely on driver seat belt buckle and ignition status to activate the seat belt reminder signals.
Now I’m interested how it worked before and under what circumstances it failed. When the driver is too skinny? Squatting to hover their ass over the seat?
the tests are now larger than the thing itself
The purpose of the code is to make the tests pass.

What do you mean? Can’t you see all those innovations in the ads and tracking industry?
