  • Simple auth was honestly one of the upsides for me.

    Plex claims to have an offline mode, but I could never got it to work, for some reason.And I got pissed off one too many times when my Internet went down and I couldn't watch anything from the NAS a few meters away...

  • What's better, exactly?

    I switched years ago from Plex to Jellyfin, and while the UI wasn't quite as nice, everything else is better.And I don't have to pay to use HW transcoding on my own hardware...

  • How would "banning encryption" even work in practise?

  • Man, deep packet inspection is some crazy stuff.

    Good implementation can identify the type of traffic within seconds with scarily good accuracy.

    Quite a few countries actually implement this in their national ISP's infrastructure to block VPNs, so the citizens can't access non-approved websites.

  • Brother Says It Was Falsely Accused Of Bricking Printers That Use Cheaper Third-Party Ink Cartridges

  • $3 ink from a bodega

    That's actually a fair price for 3rd party replacement.I used to work at a computer shop, and people only ever bought the cheapest available cartridges.We also used to do printer repair, do you know how many printers had to come in because of shitty ink?The answer is zero.

    And anyway, in your example the printer manufacturer has no business tracking your ink usage, whether it's by spying on you and phoning home, or recording this info in the printer's memory.

  • It wouldn't.

    USA tried to keep the encryption all to itself in the past by classifying it as munitions, it didn't work out.

    And criminals don't care if encryption is banned anyway.

  • That's a very charitable way of looking at DRM.

  • Company's PR dept saying "we didn't do it" is not proof of anything.

    If they're not blocking 3rd party cartridges, why even implement DRM?Do they have so much extra money that they're developing features they're not planning to use just because they're bored?

  • I'm not excusing burning down innocent people's property, but Teslas are not cheap.

    I doubt anyone who'd lose one would have their life destroyed.

  • This is why you go European even if the company is open-source

  • What exactly is Signal supposed to do here?

    They're not supposed to be able to help in any way, how would they determine if a specific user is using Signal for phishing or whatever without decrypting their chats?

    Being European would make zero difference here, unless the European service is backdoored.

  • No, no, I'm thinking about scheduling them!

  • Thanks a lot for testing it, really nice to see a mandatory wait after release is not necessary anymore.

  • Why are Google's Assistant(s) so bad nowadays?

    Jump

  • That's an optimistic view.

    But really, that's just Google being Google.Even years before the "AI" hype their Assistant kept suddenly losing features that worked perfectly fine before.

  • Is Qwant still good privacy wise?

    Jump

  • The issue seems a bit misrepresented by the dev.

    The mentioned section of the privacy policy is true only for the logged in users that have agreed to voluntarily share their data.

    Without logging in they don't even store a single cookie on my device.

  • How is GOG Galaxy Still Not On Linux?

    Jump

  • Ten years is plenty of time to implement a launcher, or at least give a planned timeline

    Or to give literally any kind of update, like admitting it was never seriously planned.

  • I'd like that to be "new", but... It's not exactly the first time this exact thing happened in tech.
