  • Dell kills the XPS brand

    Jump

  • replacing them with three main product lines: Dell (yes, just Dell), Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max.

    PC/Android companies not trying to blatantly rip off Apple challenge: Impossible

  • HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content

  • There’s No Dancing Around It: Apple’s Vision Pro Was An Ugly Dud

    Jump

  • Yeah it feels like even Apple is half-heartedly invested in it. Lots of the first-party Apple apps are basically just iPad apps, a year after launch. And there's no real video content, just a bunch of short 7-minute teasers.

    Apple should be subsidizing the shit out of developers to get some killer apps on there to prove what it can do. They seem to have assumed if they built it, they would come. But nobody showed up to the party. Developers who DID build apps, that even got featured by Apple, say their sales basically paid for the developer adapter, not even the headset itself.

  • What are your Homelab goals for 2025?

    Jump

  • It would be to replace my 4-bay Synology DS918 NAS with something with more drive bays and 10 Gbit connectivity

  • What made you join Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Same here, both the X and the Reddit things came at a time when I was trying to cut down on social media usage as it was definitely having an effect on me. Having social media that runs out and doesn't just go on for infinity is so much healthier.

  • What made you join Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I came over with everyone else in the big exodus wave from Reddit when they killed third party apps.

    I didn't even use a third party app so it didn't affect me, but as an old-school Internet user I believe in federated networks over centralized services and it seemed like the one opportunity to finally get critical mass.

  • China's Xi Jinping asked 'What’s so bad about deflation?' amid economic slowdown, report says

    Jump

  • On the flip side, we've seen with inflation that just amazing amounts of debt have been created, with consumers massively underwater spending way beyond their means, leading to things like house values blowing up completely unsustainably.

    So inflation is not automatically better, it's just a different kind of bad.

    Jump

  • Cars and TVs are already deflationary - the same money will buy a better car or TV if you wait a year or two (or just wait a year and buy used)

  • Apple reportedly planning flat but completely edgeless iPhone display

    Jump

  • I bet they need the technology for folding phones/tablets (instead of a crease, have two screens that but up against each other with no bezel) and this is how they get the volume in manufacturing to make those doable.

  • Apple pulls remaining Lightning-based devices from European stores

    Jump

  • There are different hardware models but it's mainly based on the radio and there are only 5 different models https://www.apple.com/iphone/cellular/#iphone-se

    You have the Americas model, the Japan model, the China model, the Russia model, and then the model for any other country. So the EU ones could be sold in a large part of the world. They don't even come with power bricks any more so you don't need to swap out the plug or anything. Maybe some warranty paperwork?

  • when did you stop using dial up internet?

    Jump

  • When I went to university in 2003. The telephone exchange in the village my parents lived in finally got upgraded to ADSL in 2004 or 2005 I think after a grassroots ISP collected enough subscribers to pay for it (after which the national telco was happy to start offering service, screwing over the grassroots ISP)

    University internet was 10 Mbps, but the year after they kicked the dorms off the school network and put us on the consumer city fiber network which was 100 Mbps. About a decade later I moved in somewhere with 1 Gbps.

    And I now have 10 Gbps at home. How times have changed...

  • Apple's 3nm M5 Chip, Based On TSMC's N3P Process, To Enter Mass Production In 2H25 With Major Performance Gains For Macs; No iPad Pro Refresh Incoming

    Jump

  • I'm thinking M6 is probably when it'll be finally worth it to replace my MBP M1 Pro...

    I think I'm actually more interested in getting Wi-Fi 7 than the CPU.

  • Upgrading to 3G broadband

    Jump

  • I recently got upgraded to 10 Gbit fiber at home so I've been through researching this stuff.

    With a 3G WAN, I'd go with a 2.5 Gbit LAN - 2.5G equipment is quite affordable now. The next step is 5G but that equipment is rare, and 10G starts getting expensive.

    Do you know what router they're giving you? What LAN ports does it have? Does it even have a 2.5 or 10G LAN port or only 1G ports?

    USB 2.5G adapters are available new for cheap and I've had good luck with them, even using one on a Synology NAS with an open source driver.

    The wiring is probably fine as long as you don't have any very long runs. I'd keep it and only replace it if the links randomly drop down in speed to 1G.

    2.5G switches also aren't too expensive. You can get one with only a few ports for the devices that can make use a lot of bandwidth (PC/NAS/Server) and plug your current switch into it for all the 1G devices like TVs, game consoles etc. The PiHole definitely doesn't need a fast connection.

  • PayPal Honey steals affiliate links and lies about finding the best coupons

    Jump

  • It's also kind of a protection racket against shops. "Partner with us or we'll cut into your profits by spreading cheap coupon codes, but partner with us and we'll protect you"

  • Any relations experts?

  • I was looking for some reddit-tier joke of a big dildo under the bed or something

  • WordPress.org statement threatens possible shutdown for all of 2025 – Computerworld

    Jump

  • WordPress started out as a terrible hack PHP app and somehow while PHP the language has been improving to allow people to build sane apps, WordPress has somehow gone the other direction to make themselves EVEN MORE INSANE.

    It used to be you could make a custom styled theme by taking the default theme and editing the HTML/CSS to customize the pages.

    The current default themes use the most insane methods known to webdev. They replaced CSS with JSON files. And then use CSS embedded in JSON embedded in HTML comments inside of PHP files. It's completely incomprehensible.

  • Japan Is So Desperate to Increase Its Birth Rate That Tokyo Is Trying Out a New Idea: Free Daycare

    Jump

  • If everyone lives a comfortable, safe and fulfilling life without risk of poverty or losing everything they have, then they are more likely to have children and raise them to become productive people who will contribute to society.

    You would assume that, but is it really true? The countries with the safest and most comfortable lives, in Scandinavia, have the lowest birth rates. The countries with the least safe and comfortable lives, in Africa, have the highest birth rates.

  • Housing is pretty affordable in Japan since housing in Japan is not an investment, it depreciates like a car (only the land has value, the house ontop of it has literally negative value since it's assumed anyone will want to bulldoze it), and their lax zoning allows for continual densification to happen.

  • Trump demands government shutdown after Elon Musk rants over stopgap funding bill

    Jump

  • Because they know they can blame it on the other party. And people will eat it up.
