Lets be real here. They’d do it no matter who’s in charge.

You’d want mastadon for that. Lemmy is for following communities. Someone could make their own community if they wanted something for just them.

That’s by design though. There’s no way to have a federated system and ensure that everything deletes it.
- Comment on Is it okay to cover the outside of a microwave in aluminum to prevent or lessen microwave WiFi interference? 6 days ago:
Also microwaves are only 2.4ghz. Any modern device should have a strong 5ghz connection in what I assume is a cramped apartment.
5ghz also has less interference problems, but it’s not immune.
- Comment on Is it possible to make wireless charging broadcast electricity throught an entire house similar to how wifi can broadcast to the entire house? 1 week ago:
Yes, but it’s incredibly slow, wasteful and, unsafe. Companies have tried making hardware that does this at a room level, but have largely failed because it’s so wasteful and slow.
Eevblog has a bunch of videos debunking these things youtu.be/2rSQnRV5ztI

Yes, besides falling asleep at the wheel that’s also why you shouldn’t drive when tired.
- Comment on Mercedes Gives Customers the One Thing They've Always Wanted: Microsoft Teams 1 week ago:
This is a CLA, not an E or S Class. The base CLA costs about as much as the average new car sold in the US. This is like the first promotion, I’m going to buy a car car.

Im a casual gamer
No. You have to be dedicated to this and push for years to maybe, just maybe make actual money. Not only do you have to be a gamer, but you also have to have a personality people like.
- Comment on If i stain or spill a drink on a shirt, can i just wash it in the bath with generic soap and let it soak rinse and dry to get the same thing as a whole load of laundry? 2 weeks ago:
This was how people washed clothes before modern laundry machines.
- Comment on How active is too active while being on lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
The biggest key is the quality of posting. If you’re posting a fuck ton, but it’s amazing content that fits the community and does well then yeah it’s great. If you’re just reposting memes from other communities or straight up trolling then that shit gets annoying real fast.
- Comment on Do dams pregame? 2 weeks ago:
But can’t dam operators see a storm forecast and start drinking, er draining, ahead of time?
Yes, they already do this. When rain is expected they lower the levels of the dam. Even just smaller rainfalls not quite flooding territory. But there’s only so much water you can drain before it starts causing problems for the dam.
- Comment on Eyes in the Sky: A Comprehensive Survey of Ukrainian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) 2 weeks ago:
From what I read they actually work with 3rd party analog receivers from the drone itself.
- Comment on Eyes in the Sky: A Comprehensive Survey of Ukrainian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) 3 weeks ago:
Compatible with Analog Video Transmission
The DJI Digital FPV System can be used with analog image transmission via a third-party receiver, allowing users to switch between AV and digital video transmissions.
All the drone footage I’ve seen has been analog, and I guess it’s possible on the FPV.
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 3 weeks ago:
You can’t hold a gaming laptop in your hands (and actually use it)
Of course a larger device will cost less/provide better performance. You’re paying a premium for the handheld formfactor. Just like how with a gaming laptop you’re paying a premium vs a 50+ pound desktop.

- Comment on Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data 4 weeks ago:
I wanna know what the hell people are doing to destroy the ports on their devices. Like are you plugging your phone in then using it as a lasso? Are you smashing the plug down against something and bending the connector? In 20 years of using various smart phones I’ve never destroyed the port on my device.
Lint? Yes, but you can clear that out easily. But like actually destroying ports when they’re clean?
- Comment on Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data 4 weeks ago:
Standardized testing isn’t the end all be all. Manufacturers have wiggle room. Most of the time you can also voluntarily derate yourself. EPA testing is standardized, but there’s a surprisingly wide margin that you can test your car at.
BMW is pretty famous for derating their HP output so they’re closer to whats available at the wheels. Every other manufacturer will measure at the crank (the balls)
- Comment on Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data 4 weeks ago:
Have you worked with 3rd party testing companies? It isn’t the end all be all. Even in 3rd party testing manufactures get wiggle room, and can voluntarily derate their numbers. Especially if there’s any accountability for failing to meet those numbers there’s a good reason to do so.
- Comment on Bitcoin investor moves $8 billion worth of crypto after 14 years, originally bought for less than $210,000 — 80,000 BTC transferred from Satoshi-era wallet 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 4 weeks ago:
W11 is full of AI integration, always-on data collection, and other no-sell bloatware
Windows 10 is the exact same BS, but 10% less in your face AI. Have people really been frog boiled this badly?
- Comment on Nothing has helped me learn to trust my instincts more than trying to plug in hundreds of USB devices over the years 4 weeks ago:
Thanks to USB C it’s always the right orientation. But good fucking luck getting it in without looking or scratching the shit out of your device.
The one thing I liked better about Lightning over USB C was the rounded corner which makes it easier to slide the plug in without doing damage to the device.

Because docsis 3.0 standard is nearly 20 years old at this point and 3.1 is significantly faster. Docsis 3.1 is only 15, but 4 (which is still 8 years old) probably isn’t supported by your ISP yet. But the speed difference is quite noticeable. 3.0 will theoretically do 1gbps down, and 100-200 up, but 3.1 could do 10 down and 1gbps up. In the age of symmetrical fiber internet those upload speeds are dire. 3.1 realistically gets you a symmetrical gig connection.
- Comment on Senate GOP budget bill has little-noticed provision that could hurt your Wi-Fi 5 weeks ago:
Yeah IoT devices don’t need bandwith, they need range (at low powers) and those lower frequencies get them that. 6ghz wifi has pretty small range and is awful for IoT stuff.
- Comment on Microsoft readies Windows 11 users for 25H2 5 weeks ago:
"Windows 11, version 24H2 and version 25H2 share the same source code, with only the additional features turned on.
Haven’t the past like 2 H2 updates been this way?

- Comment on Owners of laptops with very cheap aftermarket batteries, is it worth the discount? 5 weeks ago:
For a laptop that old it’s not worth the money. Anything “good” is going to be at least 10 years old just sitting in a box rotting.
- Comment on Windows is getting rid of the Blue Screen of Death after 40 years 5 weeks ago:
This is really an attempt on clarity and providing better information and allowing us and customers to really get to what the core of the issue is so we can fix it faster,
How is this making it faster? Does removing the frowny face really speed up people understanding the problem?
