- Comment on What's the Standard Operating Procedure for if someone steals your phone while you were using it and its unlocked? 2 days ago:
Theft Detection Lock uses AI, your device’s motion sensors, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth to detect if someone unexpectedly takes your device and runs away. If Theft Detection Lock detects your device is taken from you, it automatically locks your device’s screen to protect its content. For example, if someone grabs the phone out of your hand and they run, bike, or drive away, the Theft Detection Lock may activate.

I presume it waits for an abrupt spike in the accelerometer followed by going out of range of nearby Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth connections. I am curious how well it works, and how often false positives occur.
I am also disappointed that it seems GrapheneOS does not offer a similar feature.

They did announce three major products today.
- Comment on Why do people see me as far older than 19 when I type the way I do sometimes?/Why do people think full stops are rude? 1 week ago:
I have found that I always use proper punctuation in informal communication except for a period at the end of a message. If the last sentence is a question or exclamation, I’ll use a question mark or exclamation point. But if it technically requires a period: usually nothing.
Then again, I am in my forties or fifties

- Comment on How to mute posts containing certain keywords on Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Regarding the post title: Lemmy itself allows you to block communities, instances, and users. But it does not support filtering by keyword, e.g. filtering out any post with the word “platypus” in the title regardless of where it was posted or by whom. With help from the comments below, here are some third party Lemmy clients that have their own implementation of keyword filtering:
- Boost
- Connect
- Eternity
- Interstellar
- Raccoon
- Summit
- Sync
- Tesseract
- Thunder
- Voyager
Do NOT support keyword filtering:
- Alexandrite
- Jerboa
- Lemmy UI
- mlmym
- Next
- Photon
- Quiblr

They’ve cancelled Discovery, Prodigy, Picard, Lower Decks
Was Prodigy canceled again after it was revived for a second season? Or is there still a chance for a third season?

So the answer is “if/when they come out”?
- Comment on Seeing a sticker blocking a macbook's logo makes me realise it's a macbook more than just seeing the apple 3 months ago:
I think they mean that the sticker makes it stand out, putting the model/brand into your conscious mind. If a Macbook is displayed normally onscreen, it is just some prop that you might not pay any additional attention to at all. Sure, you unconsciously know that it is an Apple product, but that fact is not at the front of your mind at all. With the Apple logo covered, you still know that it is an Apple product all the same, but you are actually consciously thinking about fact.

Make sure your Z axis rods are:
- Clean, free of any gunk or debris
- Perfectly straight, not bent or bowed at all
My guess is that something is wrong with one of the rods about four inches up.
- Comment on 4 months ago:
Looks like this came from a non-Lemmy ActivityPub platform. I think this user made a “note” that is just mentioning this Lemmy community. And when that Federated over here to Lemmy, it didn’t work properly. Kind of like how Mastodon posts often look weird on Lemmy.

Hunt says there are 31 million unique email addresses in the database
I cannot imagine there are nearly that many individuals with an Internet Archive account. Is there any reason that an average user would need to create an account in the first place? And would someone need to create multiple?

Instance owners could potentially insert ads to help cover server costs. Users would likely just migrate to a different instance, but I could definitely imagine one of the bigger instances doing that eventually.

More than a year after the protests, Reddit is essentially back to normal.

I know that would allow you to back up the ebook file elsewhere and use it however you please, but could Amazon still potentially delete the file from your Kindle device?

Seems it is disabled by default in LibreWolf. I highly suggest that, especially over using older Firefox builds.
