This is so important, you gotta wash the print surface, not disinfect it.
Wiping it with alcohol is good and all, but it needs some dishwashing detergent and a soft sponge every now and then.

Oh yeah I could, I was more just interested in knowing if there was an automated selection process or something. Purely out of curiosity.
- Comment on FediMeteo: How a Tiny €4 FreeBSD VPS Became a Global Weather Service for Thousands - IT Notes 1 week ago:
This is quite cool, but I see nothing on how the choice of cities to include was done?
In my case my city isn’t included, and the nearest city that is, is over 100km away on the other side of a mountain. The next one is about 500km away.
I also see plenty of smaller cities here in Norway than mine that are included, so this makes me think the selection of cities was probably made based on largest city within x radius. Would be neat to know how these selections were made.

I’m allergic to onion and I’m offended by this.
But man do I chow down on peppers a lot.

The fact that it was almost 20c in Oslo the other day, in the middle of December sure is something.

Yes

You’re not thinking about when Microsoft bribed their way into them not switching by opening an office in the area?

There’s people running old raspberry pis with USB hard drives.
It’ll run on just about anything.
Though, you’ll only be able to stream original quality, no on the fly quality changes for low speed connections and such.
- Comment on Quitting Spotify for Navidrome 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, you will have to send the dev the new trial ID for a re-activation.
That’s also why it’s costs more, because it’s more manual work for him.
It’s a chore, but really cool by the dev to offer it as an option for people with de-googled devices.
- Comment on Quitting Spotify for Navidrome 5 weeks ago:
Nope. You can buy an infinite trial via the developers ko-fi!
There’s info about it on the symfonium forum.
- Comment on Quitting Spotify for Navidrome 5 weeks ago:
Too bad it’s unusable if you’re like me and have huge playlists that you want to offline for shuffling due to spending long stretches of time without an Internet connection.
When I asked about this limitation, I was told that it was stupid to have such big playlists and needing to offline them because nobody is without Internet for long enough times for it to matter.
Great response from the developers that.

It’s also the second time it’s happened in this roundabout in a few months lol

Guy that went and directed them said they were stuck for a total of 3 minutes.

If all four arrived and entered at the exact same time, the exit might have been clear for all four.

The LG concept one I saw that had this, just had enough cameras where there was no way you could put something in without it seeing the QR and scanning it automatically.

It’s a QR code and not rfid.
I’m not saying this is for everyone, I’m saying that’s a feature that could be handy for certain use cases where people need such assistance in their life.

The one smart feature I could see being nice is inventory tracking.
There’s some new regulation incoming in the EU where they’re doing QR codes on products with the price and also expiry date. A fridge that scans my milk carton as I put it in and then also knows the expiry date would be neat.
I don’t see this as something I could ever need, but for old people or people with various potential medical issues? Could have its use.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 1 month ago:
They talked about streaming VR games from the SteamOS based steam machine to it.
So with that I’d assume we’re finally getting some much needed progress to SteamVR on linux.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 1 month ago:
And: "cheaper than the index“ Sure that only means less than 1000usd (unless they mean the headset only price at 500…?) but that’s still better than I was assuming it’d be.

I hope you seek and get the help you need with your paranoia.

Almost as if small niche communities attract the same type of people, with similar interests and problems. Surely couldn’t be that.

I’m sure that’d work on some humans too.
- Comment on turing completeness 1 month ago:
Even the first version of ChatGPT passed turing tests.
It takes surprisingly little for an LLM to make natural language responses that are indistinguishable from a human. Especially when factual accuracy was never part of it.

Personally I don’t care which state actor it is, I don’t want any of them to have easy access to my data.
If they want it, they should work for it.

All your data from this device being stored on servers in China that are accessible to the Chinese government isn’t a relevant concern?
- Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 2 months ago:
It’s not cloud free and requires online activation with the Tuya app. (I assume based on other Tuya WiFi devices)
- Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 2 months ago:
Yup, it’s a rebranded Tuya device.
- Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 2 months ago:
It’s a rebranded Tuya device, which can actually be used in a local only mode.
I wouldn’t trust connecting it to the Tuya online services though that is for certain.
- Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 2 months ago:
It’s a rebranded Tuya device, and they don’t sell your data to any law enforcement or insurance.
They do however comply with Chinese laws and all your data is readily available for the Chinese government.
- Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar 2 months ago:
It’s a rebranded Tuya doorbell. So there aren’t any subscriptions, though you will be giving them all your data.
