  I didn’t know it had a name. I have seen this so much on Lemmy lately.

  Modern cars (in the US) are required to have an OBD-II Port for On-Board Diagnostics. I always assumed most cars these days were just sending some or all of the real-time OBD data to the manufacturer. GM definitely has been.

  I am sure the likes of Trump Mobile or NewsMax would be happy to have it.

  I didn’t really start hating it until not doing it for 13 hours a day meant losing my job because, and I quote, “we can have meetings all day because you have all night to finish your work”.

  If this is you, try drinking more water.

  Yes, I mean it never hit its rated speed. Also that many modern sites didn’t work any better than they did on the dialup anyway.

  My grandparents lived in rural OK and had dial-up until 2018 when they finally were able to get a 2mbps DSL line. It really wasn’t much faster than the dial-up.

  Amazon is a technology company now. For a long time the storefront and logistics have been a tech demo for Amazon Web Services.

  For instance: FreeRTOS

  It takes all kinds to make a world; There are even people who don’t like chocolate and would just prefer the peanuts…

  They don’t look the same and it doesnt look like differences that can be explained by photoshop.

  I think I would be more okay with having to undo a screw or two as long as it was still just as easy to get the battery out. The way the Advance SP and DSs handled it. Lithium batteries are slightly more unfriendly to being handled than AAs and this is a device aimed at children. Your point stands though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wanna tell the class the joke⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually knew a guy who had a stroke fairly young and lost partial use off the right side of his body but regained some of his mobility. His car had the gas on the left.

  Nokia didn’t suddenly go all in on Windows Phone, they were bought by Microsoft.

  There were only ever like 2 phones that used MeeGo. Nokia primarily used an OS called Symbian before they were bought out.

  Yes and no, warp speed only needed to exist in the form it did because Trump had fired the existing pandemic response team.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Where I am from several years ago the city renamed the Christmas Parade to Holiday Parade in a bid to be inclusive of other winter holidays. A small subset of citizens got butt hurt and have held a competing Christmas Parade several times.

  Apparently the war on Christmas is acknowledging that there are other options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeff Geerling: Self-hosting your own media considered harmful (updated). Youtube removed his content, saying that self hosting content is "dangerous or harmful content"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you might be misremembering; the original iPhone had YouTube, maps (though it lacked a GPS for whatever reason), a camera, Safari, and even a primitive HTML based App Store that paved the way for modern PWAs. Games like Bejeweled were available months before iOS 2.0 came with the App Store.

  The Moto ROKR was an iPod that made calls.

  I mean… we don’t call it the Great Plains for nothing. Great used to mean big not necessarily good, for instance, Great Britain is the largest British isle.

  A piece of advice I wish I had listened to is “don’t turn your hobbies into a vocation”.

  That’s when Google will buy what ever is left of Condé Nast or Buzzfeed at bottom dollar and start using more AI to shit out “news”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI is storing deleted ChatGPT conversations as part of its NYT lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you are taking business advice from ChatGPT that includes purchasing a ChatGPT subscription or can’t be bothered to look up how it works beforehand then your business is probably going to fail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI is storing deleted ChatGPT conversations as part of its NYT lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing I can tell is that they were already saving the chats of personal accounts but their SLAs prevent them from doing so with some corporate accounts. Apparently there is some concern that proprietary information will now be made part of a public case. Personally I feel like that’s the price of being an early adopter of something most people said was a bad idea but what do I know?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy PrIDE Month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC Apple drives, like those in the Mac Studio, use a version of NVMe that doesn’t have the controller onboard which is why they were so hard to reverse engineer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who did this 😂😂😂⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still remember using Windows machine for the first time after only having a Commodore 64 and Nintendos. I specifically remember thinking it was dumb because it didn’t have a cartridge slot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who did this 😂😂😂⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any Windows machine that does not support ACPI or has it disabled. IIRC Windows has required ACPI since Vista.
