  • Leading smartphone vendor in each country

    Jump

  • I don’t think this is accurate. It says Apple is the leading phone where I live, but the large majority of people here are too poor for an iPhone. Plus you rarely see people with them outside the rich areas of the city.

  • Under Meredith Whittaker, Signal Is Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong

    Jump

  • A while back people had a problem with metadata or something. I used to have my own server, so I wasn’t really worried about it.

    But it’s been like 3 years since I’ve used it or looked into it.

    Kinda curious what’s changed at this point.

  • 16GB of RAM Could Be the New Minimum in Apple's Upcoming M4 Macs

    Jump

  • I know what you mean, but I’m tired of window’s bullshit too.

    I’d keep pc hardware if my work could happen on Linux, but it’s sadly not an option at the moment.

  • QR code rule

    Jump

  • I thought it would be cool to have qr-code stickers that when scanned would be an ebook.

    Sadly, they don’t hold enough data and I could not find any kind of compression that would help.

    I know it could be linked to a server, but then it’s reliant on an internet connection and for the server to be active.

  • Seriously?

    Will it know it’s a laptop and not a desktop and not let me install if there is not a webcam?

  • Removed

    Wish me luck at this critical milestone

  • Genuine question, is there some reason you can mix and match tools?

  • 16GB of RAM Could Be the New Minimum in Apple's Upcoming M4 Macs

    Jump

  • It’s because AI needs a not a ram. I think Apple did not expect or plan for ai which shows in the fact that only the latest pro phone can have Apple intelligence. It’s because that phone has enough ram.

    Now they will boost ram across the board because Apple intelligence will not run well without it.

    Depending on pricing, I may actually buy a MacBook in 2025.

    I’ve wanted one since the m1, but I’ve held out until 16gb was the starting amount of ram.

  • Xiaomi is also working on a tri-fold phone

    Jump

  • I agree, that’s what I meant by full computer.

  • What are the best open file formats?

    Jump

  • Video is tougher as it changes every few years. Once a new standard is out there is also a little lag before there is hardware decoding. Additionally the video codec and extension are different things. I’m going to talk about codecs as I think it’s more important than file type.

    Hardware decoding is important especially for mobile devices and software decoding will run the processor and eat up your battery.

    For video, right now, the technically best format I think is AV1. If I’m not mistaken it’s open source or at least doesn’t have royalties.

    Images are kind of the same story, but browser support is the issue.

    I think jpegxl is supported to be pretty great, but Google is trying to push their own standard which I believe is technically inferior in some ways. Because of that Google had support for jpegxl in chrome and then they removed it from chrome.

    Jump

  • I think the tech is still kinda pricey, but imagine having a phone, table, and then full computer when docked to a keyboard and mouse in one device.

    That’s the dream.

    I’d even be happy with the phone/full computer combo.

  • iPhones in the EU get ability to set more default apps, delete more built-in ones

    Jump

  • Thanks! Typo!!

  • Telegram founder Pavel Durov reportedly arrested in France

    Jump

  • It seems like people here agree that this arrest seems weird.

    I don’t understand what he did wrong.

  • Peloton announces $95 “used equipment activation fee”

    Jump

  • Anyone who has already purchased a Prloton, should be able to resell it. If they can’t, then I see a class action coming.

    New sales could do this I guess, hopefully people will stop buying from crap companies

  • Peloton announces $95 “used equipment activation fee”

    Jump

  • I recently read that a baby crib did the same thing they charge an activation fee after it’s sold. First we had subscriptions now we have reselling activation fees. It’s just another way to get a little bit more money.

  • iPhones in the EU get ability to set more default apps, delete more built-in ones

    Jump

  • Additionally, based on the way Apple implemented it, the dev would have to resign in Europe.

    Maybe that has changed as they keep making changes. Either way they are being huge dicks and have turned me off from their platforms and services.

  • Android games for girls?

    Jump

  • I think you meant minetest with a Minecraft mod.

  • iPhones in the EU get ability to set more default apps, delete more built-in ones

    Jump

  • Not in the EU.

  • Introducing Proton Duo: Unlimited privacy for two | Proton

    Jump

  • That’s interesting. I wonder if we will see more duo plans as people are increasingly child free.

  • Can a Linux installation be run as a VM in Windows?

    Jump

  • Depending on which virtual machine software you use, you might need to go onto the Linux even after you boot from it and run some programmer script to install drivers or something, but depends on which virtual machine software you use.
