It’s magic, it can automagically solve any unrelated problem. He claimed that tariffs would lower child care costs (of course the ramble doesn’t specify how it would lead to lower child care costs because I definitely can’t see it leading to countrywide tuition-free public kindergartens like in many European countries)

They blocked it for a pure political reason, not for a security issue

This said, it’s stupid to use an ad-infested closed source app that probably exfiltrates your data for ai training when there’s a very good foss alternative

I’m shocked! Totally didn’t expect this

Add the newpipe repository to fdroid for faster updates

Or use a fdroid client like droid-ify where the newpipe repository can enabled with just a toggle and not a somewhat difficult to find url

Let’s start from that asshole that got a 56 billion package

i was in a physical store and i saw this in clearance, didn’t have time to do the usual spreadsheet where i compare 10 almost identical variants all with a similar price that vary by just one bit.

The same stuff is sold as G2170, G2270, G2470, G2570, G2770, G2870 and G2970, one add something but remove something.

considering that clicking on “status page” in the printer driver opens http://localhost:58510/index.html in the browser and Windows sees it as “Canon G2070 series HTTP”, I wonder if they took the lazy path and the USB is used as a simple network adapter…

I specifically bought this to print photos, ink is not ridiculously expensive like other models, is like $150 per liter, which is still high considering that’s colored water, but not the usual $5000 per liter.

i already opened it and filled with ink, if it was from amazon i’d do that, but i bought it from a small business and that would cause a big loss to them, the printheads are now primed and a return is e-waste as they’re going to dry if sitting unused in a warehouse. At work we have many usb to ethernet print servers from the early 00s, they’re now e-waste and i can get one for free (it’s just that wifi is more convenient and i can place it wherever it fits, instead of routing a cable to the switch)

edit: wait… i realized only now that printheads are disposable (they’re removable and not preinstalled) but they don’t sell those as a spare part??? FUCK! Will this be destined to the e-waste collection in 2-3 years???

I also took 30 minutes of reading the manual before realizing that, yes it doesn’t appear in the wifi network list because it doesn’t actually have wifi connectivity…

edit before someone calls me dumb “u even don’t know how to read the manual”: the user manual is shared with other 10 models and has sections like “how to share the scanner in the network”

But it’s global version or China version?

China version ROM is like this since the mi 6, the excuse was “limiting grey market sales”

Also the ROM now uses a different signature so from mi 5 onwards, flashing global ROM on china version, doesn’t allow to lock the bootloader again (you can send the command to lock it, but then you get a softbrick)

In this specific case can do it but the bootloader unlock request must come from a Chinese ip address, from a verified Chinese number (get otp code via SMS) and wait like one month

They’re mostly configured to ignore it, at most quarantine it

I set the mail server to bounce everything that doesn’t match dkim.

I almost don’t receive spam anymore.

The problem is that sometimes some legitimate services didn’t configure their email server correctly

With the guy that’s going to be defense secretary saying “I don’t see germs, so they aren’t real” maybe it could be the opposite.

I don’t also see ionizing radiations, so they definitely aren’t real, maybe let him taste some polonium tea

Also the irony of a Christian fundamentalist saying that because something can’t be seen, then it can’t be real

They still bought 98% of their needs from Russia in 2023? Ok that’s cheaper but they can weaponize it…

Facebook not only sends the code to text without asking, but they love to just directly start the reset password procedure.

Now, that’s super weird. Are they assuming that, because last time I logged in was 6 months ago, I must have forgot my password?

How to make money with shitcoins 101:

1. Pay some $100k to some dev to create something the slightly differs from the existing ones

2. Pay some millions of dollars to some marketing agency to find a way to get this shitcoin popular. A funny name, a funny icon, or some solution in search of a problem. Something like “this shitcoin can lower the transfer fees of other shitcoins and also if you hold the bag you get 69% APR”

3. When it launches you immediately buy it for pennies, or even directly access some premined quota (like 30% of whole distribution) that the dev left for you

4. When idiots buy it, raising the price, you slowly dump it

5. Clueless people did the staking (lock them for a year) of millions of “cat coin”, worth $1 each at the time thinking that they are going to get 69% APR. They actually get the 69% APR, but the problem is that each “cat coin” after a year is worth $0.000001 each

It’s already the moment of selling high. Buy low is when they’re introduced. Shitcoins are generally going down with value. If you buy now you will end losing money 100%

None of them have a real practical application, it’s 100% speculation

I have a revolut account and for some reason they give $1 in shitcoins if you answer some questions like “bonk differs from the other shitcoins because it’s made for the lolz” or “floki does exactly the same of other shitcoins but slightly different”

The upside is that in this way they use less plastic. Cardboard can’t be transparent and people doesn’t separate the plastic from the cardboard when recycling.

We all know what razor blades look like so a photo can suffice, no?
