  • Actual theft

  • There's weirdness sometimes if devices don't respect your network's dns settings and just use their own. You can override that by forcing a dns redirect if your router supports that but not all consumer ones do unless you put openwrt or something on them.

  • Sooo... This is happening on Imgur

  • Yes and no. The one the Nazis used was / is also a symbol used in Asia. (And really, everywhere. It's a fairly basic pattern.) The Nazis used it because of their obsession with Aryans. Sometimes it's at an angle, sometimes it's not.

    Generally in the west, unless it's on a statue of budda, any swastika-ish symbol since the ~1930s is going to be a reference to Nazis though.

  • Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux

  • Modern specs are complicated. I vaguely remember something about a cryptographic key the driver needs to be signed with to successfully complete the handshake to enable all display options between the computer and display.

    Not entirely unwarranted either, an unexpected amount of voltage on an unexpected pin because the driver / hardware is misconfigured damaging your TV would suck. (Still sounds like the Forum is being a dick about it though.)

  • Scientists Link Popular Sugar Substitute to Liver Disease

    Jump

  • There's a whole cycle of perverse incentives with University Press.

    The underlying research is necessary and valuable but the marketing arm of universities blow everything out of proportion.

  • Klingons are so wholesome

    Jump

  • Ah, fair enough. Though I'd probably swap Gideon and Ancillary.

  • Valve compatibility layer for running Android games on Linux gets official name in Steam documentation

    Jump

  • I'm sure there are reasons but it's always seemed like a lost opportunity that the Steam app doesn't work as an app store for mobile games on phones.

  • Klingons are so wholesome

    Jump

  • ~Halfway through atm and enjoying it, reminds me a bit of Ancillary Justice. Didn't know it was a series. What's your runner up?

  • Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone

    Jump

  • I'd settle for something like the Red Magic 11 with better cameras from them. Saving a couple millimeters instead of having a bigger battery and flat back is silly.

  • Power surge: law changes could soon bring balcony solar to millions across US

    Jump

  • Back-feeding the grid during an outage is the main concern. One panel isn't going to hurt a line worker. A neighborhood of them might.

    "Normal" installations have a transfer switch of some kind between the house and the grid to prevent this. Which means a permit and electrician.

    Don't know what's different about these panels / installations that makes them safe without that.

  • Denmark sets up ‘night watch’ to monitor Trump after Greenland row

    Jump

  • I assume they're refering to The Watch, but that's less an adaptation of Pratchett and more an adaptation of that show runner's pet project with the names of characters from Discworld overlaid to get funding.

  • Trump Administration Decides Endangered Species Act Will No Longer Be Followed

    Jump

  • That might stop them if they cared enough to read.

  • ‘Unforgivable’: Trump’s ‘piggy’ insult is stoking more outrage than usual

    Jump

  • That's true, but I also think there is a stark difference between a low quality 'off the record' recording and standing at the official podium taking questions from vetted journalists to a live feed on every news network.

    Anyone paying the slightest bit of attention has known he is, at best, an odious man-child for years. But a lot of people actively try to avoid paying attention because they've been trained that it's "just politics" instead of the infrastructure that impacts every aspect of their lives.

  • Superman

    Jump

  • Absolutely, but this understanding requires more than a 6th grade reading level.

  • Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]

    Jump

  • I believe you're talking about the Steam Link. Which if you had ethernet running everywhere worked pretty good.

    The old Steam Machine branding was more a set of guidelines / branded manufacturer specs for mini-PCs. Not many actually came out and yeah it got shut down pretty quickly. Though it was the origin of Steam OS / Big Picture Mode and what became Proton.

  • Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]

    Jump

  • That would be amazing, but given how speculative the Framework and other RISC projects are I feel like that would be a massive headline for Valve.

  • Over the past ~20 years, Google became the de facto entry point for learning new skills and information. Google also sucks now. This is a really big problem.

    Jump

  • Fwiw, SearXNG is using a very similar engine to Kagi and you can host it yourself and tweak it if desired. There are also a bunch of public instances if you prefer that route.

  • China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs

    Jump

  • Every operation your computer does. From displaying images on a screen to securely connecting to your bank.

    It's an interesting advancement and it will be neat if something comes of it down the line. The chances of it having a meaningful product in the next decade is close to zero.
