  • ublock lite is now on IOS, Should people switch to that instead of using Adguard or should they stick with Adguard?

  • uBlock Origin will also show you a list of all the blocked resources and their domains. It's somewhat effective against tracking (though admittedly I don't know how uMatrix does it, maybe it's a little different)

  • What are you talking about? With uBlock Origin you can customize the block lists, change it per site, and easily select your own elements to block...

  • lol, what an insane idea...A physical cable back to Earth is impossible, otherwise we'd already have space elevators.Any other wireless transmission would have all the same weather problems and energy losses, it would be WAY cheaper to just build more solar panels on the ground.

  • "nouveau" != "Nvidia open source drivers". Nouveau was community made by reverse engineering. Nvidia has released their own open source drivers now.

  • I think you're missing the point this article is trying to make... It's not an advertisement for Flipper Zero, it's a scare piece implying the device's existence is bad

  • Weren't Kia Boys stealing cars with literally just a USB cable since it physically fit to turn the ignition behind the key cylinder?That doesn't require buying a special device, it was mostly crimes of convenience. I doubt the Flipper Zero will ever get that widespread.

  • In a first, Google has released data on how much energy an AI prompt uses

    Jump

  • That's not ~600 Megawatts, it's 587 Megawatt-hours.

    Or in other terms that are maybe easier to understand: 5875 fully charged 100kWh Tesla batteries.

  • A Megawatt is a unit of power not energy. It means nothing without including the duration, like Megawatt-hours

  • Just because they stopped selling it doesn't mean it's free. The only legal way to aquire MacOS is to buy an Apple product, or somehow get an upgrade from one of those old paid versions (which since this happens through the App Store now, you still need an Apple product).

    Windows is also not free even though you can download the iso. There's license terms

  • I think their point is there's nothing stopping Lemmy mods from using the exact same type of AI summarization tools. It may not be built-in, but many instances have their own addons for improving moderation

  • I'm guessing companies aren't hiring fully remote new grads. And to be honest, I think that would be really tough as an employee, because it can be so hard to learn from coworkers while remote. Getting started on a new remote team is rough enough as it is

  • 2008 was a very difficult job market for sure. Even around 2017 when I graduated it was quite difficult from now. Entry level positions have evaporated in the last 6-7 years

  • Honestly Seattle is a pretty good place for tech jobs, it's just that the cost of living isn't much better than California or other big tech hubs.

  • SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink

    Jump

  • That makes sense then. When people talk about their ISP ping, they're usually talking about how long it takes to get out of the ISP's network. So that 5ms Cloudflare ping is likely pretty close to what people would consider your internet's ping.

    Speedtest.net is a really common tool for measuring this, since it will automatically check where the closest server is. For your connection, any ping above 5ms you can probably assume is based on your physical distance to the server, or latency on the server's end. I'm guessing Google doesn't have a server quite as close to you as Cloudflare

  • You're probably really far away from the VR Chat server. Try pinging Google or Cloudflare, which will tell you ping to the nearest datacenter (a rough estimate of ping caused by your local ISP).

    Based on their numbers, you could probably expect 50-100ms to Google, and then add an extra 90ms to get from there to your VR Chat server.

    My personal fiber connection gets under 2ms ping on Speedtest
