Funny that Australia has the reputation for dangerous animals. Our snakes don't attack humans (the only people who get bit are snake handlers) our largest predator outside the tropics is a dog. We do have crocodiles up north but you're not allowed to shoot them in self defence
I seem to have annoyed an admin of an instance enough for them to subscribe my signup email to hundreds of dating profiles (presumably using a service that offers to harass someone for you)
Many of them aren't good at validating email
One in ten has one email arrive, asking me to click a link to confirm
9 in ten have 5 emails before I notice them:
Please click a link to confirm
You received a wink
You received a wink
You received 3 chat requests
You received a link
So it's important to not send emails beyond the validate one to unvalidated addresses, to perfect your service annoying or harassing this parties
Also, use a disposable address for signing up to Lemmy
Google don't restrict unlocking the boot loader. I just checked on my Pixel 9 Pro Fold and the OEM unlocking toggle is still there. The only barrier is enabling developer options by repeatedly tapping the build number in settings/about phone, just like it always has been
You can only relock the bootloader with a signed OS image loaded
They said they are doing some coding at their non-coding job. It would be good if AI could replace amateur programmers, it would make better code and take a load off the workers
That's what it is presented as. It functions as a disincentive against EVs
Though vehicles overall should be paying enough to pay for their infrastructure, I'd like that to be entirely borne by fossil fuel vehicles to move the balance of vehicles towards the quieter and less polluting
We had 300 ohm ribbon back when we had VHF TV. When we went to UHF in the '90s we also changed to coaxial cable
Coaxial cable works better at higher frequencies than 300 ohm, but needs shielding. 300 ohm doesn't need shielding as any wave that hits it hits phase and anti-phase at the same time and has no effect
I loved hanging out with an entomologist during the brief time xkcd's geohashing was popular. Just sharing the love of the insect world they had
They also taught me how to make a drosophila (fruit fly) trap (cut the to off a soft drink bottle, flip it, tape the two parts together, bait it with wine)
