  • Toyota Owner Didn’t Know His Car Was Talking To Insurers Until He Saw His Rates

  • The same GDPR that allows every website or app to share your data with their 816 partners, as long as they claim they have a 'legitimate interest'?

  • DRAM shortage fuels fake GPU scams as China-based fraudsters exploit the supply crisis — RTX 4080 GPU sold at cut price was actually an RTX 3060 mobile chip with fake VRAM

  • Is it just me or is Tom's Hardware getting really shit lately? This is the third article I've seen where one person has been ripped off and their story is 'The state of the industry! Scams everywhere! 😱'

    One of the others was someone who bought memory that had been swapped for metal weights, and Tom's Hardware tried to claim that it was a new industry scam because of the price increases, and not a one off

  • Kindle Books

  • The latest DeDRM uses a key from the installed version of the Kindle program, which is for Windows. I think you can use a key from the Android or Amazon tablet versions too, but I've never been able to get it to accept those keys

  • Wildlife cam setups?

    Jump

  • Most of the cameras like this that I've seen have an app that lets you transfer the photos too. The issue is that you need to connect to the camera with Bluetooth, which then turns on the camera's wifi for the full connection. The apps do this automatically.

    I've been wondering if there's a way to run the app from a computer, and connect to the camera through that, but I don't know how you'd get it to wake the camera to allow the wifi connection.

  • There was a TV show in the UK called Crimestoppers, where they would show reenactments of crimes to try to find witnesses. I used to wonder why they didn't just arrest the criminals while they were filming.

  • How do I get a app's APK? One that I downloaded at Play Store? I wanna put it on archive.org.

    Jump

  • I just used Swift Backup with Shizuku to move an app from my old phone to the new one. It had an apk, but had some other files with it too. I don't know enough about it to know whether the app can be used without those files, or if they're linked to me at all, but the app works on the new phone :)

  • Virtual reality opens doors for older people to build closer connections in real life

  • This is one of those rare occasions where Facebook might have got it right. Do you remember those Facebook cameras that connect to a TV? Imagine one of those in a handful of retirement homes, all set up to connect to each other automatically.

    You could have groups of five, so the 'home' setup and four others in split screen, always connected in a common room. Anyone could speak to another person in the group of homes just by going to the screen, ideally set up with some comfortable seats and coffee tables :)

  • Do any of you actually know someone who legitimately believes there's an actual "War on Christmas?"

  • I like your style 😁

  • At least two people in my friends list have posted the 'It's not Happy Holidays, it's Merry Christmas' meme on Facebook. Unsurprisingly, they're both white guys in their 60s with bald / shaved heads. Both decent guys who help their friends and community, but are sliding more and more into this bullshit.

    It's fucking depressing

  • What are your standards concerning house chores?

  • There's only one cleaning supply, that's why their family complains

  • If you had too, how would go about running a Instagram account?

    Jump

  • I've had to post to Instagram for a music festival that I'm involved with, so I used Bluestacks on Windows to run the mobile app, or the Meta Business Suite in either a separate portable browser, or in a VM. I found that I rarely used the app, as I was posting information as opposed to proper photos, and just answering the occasional questions.

    As much as it pains me to say it, Meta Business Suite is pretty good for this, and allows you to post to Instagram and Facebook at the same time, or schedule a post to one or both of them from the same interface. e.g. if it turns out that you get more views at 12 on Facebook and 1 on Instagram, you can schedule the same post to go to each service at separate times.

    I mainly use it from the desktop, but it's available on mobile too with at least the same basic features. I don't tend to use anything more advanced than scheduling, so I don't know what that's like in the app.

    Another reason I prefer the desktop over a separate phone is the data collection. I can set up ad blockers and VPNs more easily than on mobile, and there's no location data other than where I keep my desktop, I'm not carrying my desktop with me when I'm out and about :)

  • What's an unpopular UI opinion you have?

  • I hate it when the numbers affect each other too, so if you roll back on the minutes, the hour changes too. It's awful.

  • A lot, I'd reckon

  • Ah, that's a shame. Thanks for letting me know :)

  • Maybe a daft question, but have you tried a factory reset? I've got a Xiaomi Mi 10t Lite 5g that's having a lot of the same sort of problems, but a reboot tends to fix them temporarily. I'm hoping that once I get my new phone at Christmas, I can completely wipe this one, including the cache, and see if that helps.

  • Have you done anything you're proud of lately?
