Was going to comment the same, this issue has existed for some time for other apps. LibreTorrent ran into the same issue and now the F-Droid version is their full-featured app while the Google Play version is restricted due to Google.
Interesting that Nextcloud managed to last this long on Google Play without running into the same limitations (until now that is).
To be fair that would help out a ton for the less technical users that aren’t too familiar with needing to browse and click through a ton of different menus just to get to something they can watch for free. This kind of stuff gets challenging for the older non-computing crowd.
And honestly if these remotes are going to have a default “Netflix”, etc. button they may as well have a button for the default Google free channels.
FYI Dorsey left Bluesky

Currently Jay Graber is the CEO and has the largest ownership in Bluesky
What’s going on in Quebec?
The federal government is following the same strategy as some provinces. British Columbia has recently banned Tesla products from its EV charger rebate. Nova Scotia just announced that it has excluded Tesla from its $2,000 rebate at the purchase of a new EV.
Quebec just relaunched its own EV incentive program today. It will come into effect next week, and so far, Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y vehicles are still included in the list of eligible vehicles.
Yeah I was just about to comment the same, that app has already been replaced in the Apple App Store at least for iPads and auto nuked the old configurations. Created a ton of confusion when people lost all their old remote settings and/or couldn’t even find the app on the work iPads.
Just searching for it gets a bit silly since that new app is literally called Windows App. I’d be searching for “remote” something but nope, that’s not what it’s called anymore.
Strange, are people really arguing that? Back in 2020 Alexis Ohanian resigned from the board of Reddit and asked for his seat to be replaced with a black candidate. Say what you want about the guy but he doesn’t seem that out of touch with America’s racial issues.

I don’t have any issues with the guy but IMO the Digg thing may end up going nowhere if they’re really planning on relying on AI for moderation, just seems like like a bad idea overall
Ah that’s interesting, all the banks around me stopped issuing ATM cards and only issue debit cards nowadays. I wish I wasn’t required to have a debit card with those banks - I purposely tell my banks to disable debit/POS features on the debit card so it is only functional at ATMs.
All that aside you should consider getting a credit card or a prepaid credit card for those types of transactions. It’s safer to separate your bank account from your day-to-day payments/shopping, not great when someone gets access to your debit card which then gives them direct access to your bank account balance. At least with a credit card those situations are just a dispute that never affect your actual money in the bank.
Disagree, haven’t touched PayPal or anything related to PayPal in years without issue.
When PayPal bought Venmo I stopped using them too. And long before that stopped using Ebay back when PayPal/Ebay were tied together.
In August, Canoo moved its headquarters from Torrance, Calif., to Justin, Texas — asking 137 of the office’s 194 employees to relocate, while cutting the remaining staff.
Yikes, not great for all those employees that moved their entire lives out to TX just to get laid off. They weren’t even working in TX long enough to qualify for unemployment. Hopefully they were getting paid enough to deal with relocation and maybe have enough saved up to get the hell out of TX after this.
Definitely I could see this being useful for discussing things that would traditionally be censored on other more centralized or semi-decentralized platforms (piracy, anti-authoritarian discussions in an oppressive country, etc).
IPFS by default isn’t set up to work around censorship or anything of the sort. Protocol Labs (creator/maintainer of IPFS and Filecoin) have always honored copyright takedowns, etc. on their own infrastructure and have done a fair amount of work on content blocking within the default IPFS clients and such.
e.g. https://blog.ipfs.tech/2023-content-blocking-for-the-ipfs-stack
This was my first thought too. Interestingly that death occurred October 2023, while this particular fired employee is accused of accessing Disney’s menu systems around June-September 2024.
Almost like this ex-employee saw the news earlier and was then inspired to try to murder someone with bad allergen info.
Not sure how exactly this survey was conducted, here at the small business I work at only about 2% of the desktops/laptops are Win 11 compatible. And being a small business the owner isn’t interested in spending the $$ on new systems until absolutely necessary.
But that’s on the small business side, maybe this article is only talking about fortune 500 companies? Their results seem a bit odd to me otherwise.
I have a 13 series chip, it had some reproducible crashing issues that so far have subsided by downclocking it.
From the article:
the company confirmed a patch is coming in mid-August that should address the “root cause” of exposure to elevated voltage. But if your 13th or 14th Gen Intel Core processor is already crashing, that patch apparently won’t fix it.
Citing unnamed sources, Tom’s Hardware reports that any degradation of the processor is irreversible, and an Intel spokesperson did not deny that when we asked.
If your CPU is already crashing then that’s it, game over. The upcoming patch cannot fix it. You’ve got to figure out if you can do a warranty replacement or continue to live with workarounds like you’re doing now.
Their retail boxed CPUs usually have a 3(?) year warranty so for a 13th gen CPU you may be midway or at the tail end of that warranty period. If it’s OEM, etc. it could be a 1 year warranty aka Intel isn’t doing anything about it unless a class action suit forces them :/
The whole situation sucks and honestly seems a bit crazy that Intel hasn’t already issued a recall or dealt with this earlier.
Interesting, any you recommend or are currently using?
Nowadays I buy digital music (mostly via Bandcamp but there’s also HDTracks, Qobuz, etc.) & play the music that way. Can also stream my own music library if I want via Jellyfin or other applications.
re: physical CDs, yes I’ve got a ton of those too from before you could buy digital music but have already ripped them. Haven’t had a need to touch the physical discs in years but still keep them in CD binders just in case.
Also not sure if it matters but for me I’m always living in small apartments/rooms so I absolutely avoid collecting physical items, there’s just no space for that.
Nice, I was pretty sure my Pixel 7 already had hardware AV1 decoding and this app seems to confirm it.
Futurama also did their own version https://futurama.fandom.com/wiki/V-Chip
Meanwhile no mention about their limited upload speeds.
They’ve always been pretty useless, people that actually care about that sort of thing would subscribe to a paid torrent friendly VPN.

Agree with you, SO is great for finding info. There are solutions on there for niche problems that I haven’t been able to find elsewhere, the type of thing where someone actually took the time to type out a step-by-step answer and it’s now there and searchable on SO. It’s a bummer that so many people seem to hate on the site nowadays.
And lets not forget the whole reason SO came out in the first place, back then web results were littered with question/answer links to sites like Experts-Exchange. I hated trying to figure out if an answer was on there, most of the time you ended up with a link to a question that you think has an answer but oh no you need to subscribe to view an answer that may or may not exist.
