  Can we just pretend that Twitter no longer exists?

  All that Elon Musk still tries here is how far he has to go until Twitter finally collapses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How we can protect your ads from ad bots please suggest me better solution⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good points. I would add that Google has a serious scam problem with their “ads” system. On YouTube I regularly get silly ads like “you won this big box of samples, just fill out our form with your personal data” or that silly app that claims it makes my phone flashlight project video onto walls.

  I, myself, don’t trust anything advertised by Google.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best portable Bluetooth speakers?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really like the JBL speakers. The “Go” is pretty impressive for its size and price. But the “Charge” really rocks. Easily runs for a whole evening AND night with one charge and has great base.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Computer Should Say What You Tell It To Say - Google is adding code to Chrome that will send tamper-proof information about your operating system and other software, and share it with websites⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Google sees that their business is at risk.

  Primarily Google is an advertisement company. And so their top priority is to profile you to serve you targeted ads. Every single product of Google has this number one priority.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Continuous operation of a general purpose relay?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The relay will cause a short voltage drop when switching. This could be a problem if your circuit can’t handle a short voltage drop.

  Probably the Mean Well has adjustable output power. If you can trim the output voltage of the power supply to a higher voltage than your battery, then you can probably just run each power source through a diode and merge them after the diodes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone tried one of these Steam Deck alternatives like ROG Ally, GPD, OneXPlayer etc? I'm kinda keen on this Ayaneo Geek 1S⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting. Did not know about ChimeraOS. But can I get a ROG Ally without paying for a Windows license?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone tried one of these Steam Deck alternatives like ROG Ally, GPD, OneXPlayer etc? I'm kinda keen on this Ayaneo Geek 1S⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All the alternatives are advertised to be shipped with Windows only and so not interesting to me. Probably this is interesting for a lot of potential customers but I don’t want Windows on any device that I own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s true. But even if the railway service in Germany would be improved a lot, I still have around 10 kilometers from my home to the next train station.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually want more technology in my car. Please make the fully autonomous driving car a reality. Would love to have the flexibility of a car without having to drive on my own.

  Forget about it. With all these nasty LLM stuff companies take it as granted that they can steal everything and everywhere.
