  So you’ve only had 2 phones in the last 10 years? Impressive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The point he is trying to make is that an IP ban can also affect innocent users in the crossfire, if they share the same IP. For example because of CGNAT

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re still missing the point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OwO⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Story checks out, happened in 2017

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Fun For The Whole Family⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Android has a default notification sound, but apps have the option to have a different one. Snapchat for example has a custom one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but affordable projectors sadly all are garbage in the first place, regardless of being smart or not

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He's on a mission⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I am also from Germany and could have posted this. I have never seen anyone ride his bicycle under these conditions here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It didn’t go to voting because it wouldn’t have passed, and it wouldn’t have passed because of public backlash causing important countries for the vote to back out.

  Your comment makes it sound as if it wouldn’t have passed without public backlash

  Not strict at all. Sugar is harmless unless you are a diabetic, or eating excess calories

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Save us!!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Since when is October 25th after Halloween?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God ****** dammit, here we go again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No, you just run a simple Regex on both combolists and are done. It literally takes seconds

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But keep in mind the phone will throttle charging speeds when it gets warm, so the battery doesn’t end up getting much warmer, it just takes forever to get a full charge (especially when using a thick case that puts further space between the charging coils and also acts as thermal insulation, thus reduces the phones ability to cool down)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hmm breakfast⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen far more elderly smokers than elderly fatsos

  How is that relevant? Junk food doesn’t make you fat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My car doesn’t even have multiple gears, let alone a clutch

  Single speed reduction transmission :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Master Race⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and you could beat the price of a PS4 at release with a pc that performed the same. No other console generation had such bad price/performance

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  as cars always show higher than actual speed

  Although that is true, your car is quite extreme in that regard. In Germany cars are not allowed to deviate by more than 3kph at speeds below 100, and 3% at speeds above 100. I doubt BMW uses different speedometer for cars sold in foreign countries so I’m pretty sure there is something wrong with yours. Maybe you installed smaller diameter tires than from factory?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For crying in the sink, stop posting imgur links⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, because it had an optional feature to automatically delete the image after a certain amount of days

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s exactly how they work in Mercedes cars

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Edit: you have to login first. Honestly, bad first impression already.

  Spotify doesn’t even let you into the app without logging in

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tabletop convection oven ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The airflow in a regular convection oven is not nearly as violent as in an air fryer. Even when preheated food will cook faster and become crisper in an air fryer than a convection oven at the same temperature

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Germany has that law and it doesn’t change anything

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At 1%⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t need to be 5v. An active adapter can have a buck converter.

  In reality active HDMI adapters get powered by the HDMI device though, not the VGA monitor, so it’s a moot point anyways

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At 1%⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t matter. The VGA to HDMI adapter is active, not passive, so it matters if HDMI has a 5v rail, not VGA

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: YouTube views went down since mid-August because they no longer count views of not logged in users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not about being logged out. Something about your browser configuration is messed up, or your ip address is blacklisted, giving you frequent captchas.

  On a clean browser and IPV4 you get zero captchas without being logged in

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFS Plex, the server is on my local network⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Setting up the server to be externally accessible was easy to me since I have lots of experience hosting stuff both from home and from VPSs. Although not as easy as with Plex of course, which will even automatically forward the ports for you if you have Upnp enabled in your router.

  It’s the clients that are the issue. They are not as easy to use for less technologically inclined people, my dad already struggled with the switch from Netflix to Plex. And for many of my users there isn’t even a Jellyfin app available, like for older Samsung smart TVs for example

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFS Plex, the server is on my local network⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  its pretty fucking easy to use jellyfin on any device

  Not easy enough for the majority of my Plex servers users to figure out on their own. I would love to switch away from Plex, but until the clients become as idiot proof as Plex I have to keep using it. Luckily I bought a lifetime plex pass a long time ago for GPU transcoding

  CDs work great tho

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung brings ads to US fridges⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, you misunderstood the parent comment. Your connection to the DNS server being encrypted doesn’t change the fact that the DNS server knows the domains you are resolving

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't get mad, get even⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, they are more expensive, but it’s worth it because they are much better
