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 2 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 2 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 2 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.
- Comment on The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge 4 weeks ago:
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 5 weeks 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] 5 weeks 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.
- Comment on turing completeness 5 weeks ago:
I’m sure that’d work on some humans too.
- Comment on turing completeness 5 weeks 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago:
It’s a rebranded Tuya doorbell. So there aren’t any subscriptions, though you will be giving them all your data.

In my defence I was drunk.
- Comment on bingo 1 month ago:
The mod adds well, extreme violence. It lets sims murder other sims in various ways (also adds non-deadly violence)
You can make it so only specific sims you’ve enabled it for can do it, and you can make said sims do the violence out of free will.
The clown was probably placed in the neighbourhood in its own house, set to high free will, and high violence. Then the player went and played with their own family of sims.
Then if the clown ever came to visit (other sims in the neighbourhood will sometimes just show up to visit you) it’d start murdering. Events like a wedding usually invites everyone in the neighbourhood, so the clown showed up and started doing violence.

They do though, 4chan complies with US laws and regulations. They regularly hand over logs to various US agencies.
