  • How to opt out of the privacy nightmare that comes with new Hondas

    Jump

  • It's sad that you can't replace the infotainment unit in a new car with an aftermarket unit anymore. I imagine 10 years from now we'll have a fleet of cars with outdated infotainment systems that can't connect with whatever future version of bluetooth/carplay/android auto anymore. Imagine driving cars with giant but useless infotainment screens that can't do anything but playing mp3 off a USB stick because its outdated system can't connect to your new phone.

  • Ah, must've been a fortran developer. I swear they have this ability to make the shortest yet the least memorable variable names. E.g. was the variable called APFLWS or APFLWD? Impossible to remember without going back and forth to recheck the definition. Autocomplete won't help you because both variables exist.

  • If you're one of a tribe living in the jungle of West Papua, then yeah, it's basically survival of the fittest there with no electricity or modern amenities. If you're living in a city then it's no different than the rest of the region, but with small risks of armed conflict with the separatist group.

  • Just for some perspective, if you want to know how little reach the fedi post with the link to this blog post got: the first post in this thread already has more likes and boosts after less than a hour since posting it than my blog post ever did that he felt the need to confront me over.

    The author probably wasn't aware that their blog post has a huge engagement in hacker news just the day before and the CEO got roasted there, so the CEO probably felt the need to contact the author to "correct" their post.

  • How the heck did those tools developers figure out how to remove those various ads in windows? Did they do it the hard way, fired up a debugger to reverse engineer how those ads were displayed? That takes some dedication. We in the Linux land have it easy because the source code is available to mess with.

  • Why is Lemmy obsessed with the word "enshittification"?

    Jump

  • I mean, a huge number of redditors moved here because of reddit enshittification.

  • When I was a teenager, I made a page in Word, saved it as html, then uploaded it to geocities. Good times.

  • TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.

    Jump

  • It would be nice if the prisoners could take class or earn a degree while in prison, at least when they get out they have a new skill or a degree so they have a better chance to get a job to pay off their prison debt.

  • Highway collapse in China's southern Guangdong province leaves at least 24 dead

    Jump

  • Highway, all lanes are completely cut off, at 2 am, with no nearby street lights in sight. Those drivers probably didn't even see it coming. Even if you're a drifting god, you probably can't escape it unless you can jump the guardrails like the speedracer to the opposing lanes. After a pile of burning cars lit the area, people noticed something was off and started slowing down and avoided doom.

  • What's a good budget home server?

    Jump

  • For comparison, I run a thinkstation p300 with i7-4790 (TDP 84W) 24/7 and the power usage looks like this:

    Even when idling this old processor still guzzles 45W. Certainly not as nice as GP's that only use 10W during idle.

    Jump

  • Power scaling for these old CPU is not great though. Mine is slightly newer and on idle it still uses 50% of the TDP.

  • Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App

    Jump

  • The term "Android" itself is trademarked and can't be used by hardware manufacturers without passing certification and paying Google.

  • What's a good budget home server?

    Jump

  • Xeon E5-2670, with 115W TDP, which means 2x115=230W for the processor alone. with 8 ram modules @ ~3W each, it'll going to guzzle ~250W when under some loads, while screaming like a jet engine. Assuming $0.12/kwh, that's $262.8 per year for electricity alone.

    Would be great if you have an isolated server room to contain the noise and cheap electricity, but more modern workstation should use at least 1/4 of electricity or even less.
