te vedi i prezzi in euro, ma ricarichi con uno shitcoin inutile creato ad hoc accettato solo da loro (soldi del monopoli) dal valore sempre tendente al ribasso. Quindi quando vai a caricare la macchina dovresti tirare fuori un PC portatile, aprire excel e valutare il tuo costo DCA di questo shitcoin che oggi potrebbe vale 1, 10 o 0,002 a seconda di come gira il mercato. E se te hai comprato 50 euro quando valeva 10 e oggi vale 0,002 beh ora hai 0,01 euro invece di 50 euro

If you make a backup with a tool like Borg that creates encrypted archives, then using AWS S3 glacier is the cheapest.
What's bad about it: if you ever need those files again, it's going to be VERY expensive to download them again, so it has to be treated as the "what if a nuke hits my city and all the local and off-site backups are vaporized" solution
Also: it's not recommended to directly host plain files, they need to be in an archive format with big chunks, as the API calls that are used to list them during sync are counted in a very expensive way

Yes my cylinder isn't compatible, it won't allow inserting a key from the other side. But I saw they sell a replacement one for 100 euro
Not being internet connected isn't the end of the world, but that hidden expensive in-app purchase is really scammy because you would only notice that after you bought the device, after installation and probably even after the return window. All YouTube reviewers got the pro model, which doesn't have this artificial limitation. If I didn't watch that video, I would noticed that after years (I don't have enough matter/thread devices to justify the purchase of a hub yet)
And also the door opening sensor isn't included in the box but of course YouTube reviewers are showing it as part of the kit because they got all included. And the product page doesn't specify that explicitly.
Searched the user manual in PDF to learn more about the product, it's 4 sentences that explain absolutely nothing
So in the end I wanted the base model over the pro because for me having 4 AAs instead of a "proprietary" battery pack (4 AAs in a custom plastic shell) is much better and giving direct full internet access to the door lock via WiFi is too scary... but between the missing opening sensor, the IAP, the build quality, I think I will choose another one

Thanks for the link, in that thread I found two promising products, Nuki and tedee.
One is small and stylish but uses a tiny expensive single use battery, the other is plasticly and bulky but uses 4 standard AAs
I'll check specs carefully to see if they have enough torque
Edit: the 190 euro Nuki lock is advertised as "matter/thread compatible" but you need to pay a 50 euro in-app purchase in order to enable it. This is not stated anywhere, including the user manual, website and support faq. I discovered that from a YouTube review

I thought I had keys in my pocket, instead it was a different bunch. The keys were inserted in the socket from the inside, it doesn't allow to insert the key from the other side, so I couldn't use the backup pair that I keep in a separate location
I was accidentally locked out of home again, and I had to call a professional to open the lock. But if someone was home, they could have just turned the knob of the door from inside. There's a device that can do that? It needs to do 3 full turns and it requires a bit of force to do that (armored door with iron bars that slide in every direction, so it has a big inertia to start) I saw a ready solution on a store, the iseo x1r, but that costs 1000 euro + another 200 for the gateway (not mandatory but otherwise it uses proprietary Bluetooth protocol and so it can't talk with HA

In Italy, the cost of subscription for streaming serie A soccer is 5% of the average net wage. And then you need to add the cost of broadband as it's only streamed, no TV broadcast.
A low wage worker would need to literally skip meals in order to watch those overpaid clowns kick a ball.
Buy less Lamborghinis, reduce the price, have enough servers to allow for a service that doesn't crash and stutter for the first half of the match, then maybe more people would stop paying the illegal IPTV services that are charging 1/10th of the legit service
As of now, illegal IPTV services are giving a better service (no stuttering for half match), a better experience (a m3u can work with older smart TVs without Android) for 90% less money. And sometimes even better support
Many people also pay for a VPN+a subscription to paramount plus USA and they can watch serie a from Italy at 50% off.

Because usually those are masquerading as legitimate apps.
Real example: Google allows "Muhammad mahmood ali" from Pakistan to run fake ads pretending to be a more famous corporation (flagged, google replied that this individual isn't breaking the TOS somehow, flagged again, the bot replied that yes, that phishing page doesn't break AdWords TOS - probably the scammers are serving different content according to the IP address)
When someone searches for "dji app", they get an ad that looks legitimate and goes to a fake landing page where they say to download and install this apk, showing a fake "100% safe and trusted" logo.
So, they can't say the list of the infected apps, because the real apps aren't affected. Someone could have been tricked by a fake ad to install an infected version of "bank of America" but the real app is clean

I made something crude with python and flask, but it's only to print address labels, always the same settings (paper size and so on)
So i just put a textbox, press the button and it prints there.
When printing generic stuff, you would need to set paper type, paper size, color or BW, if have both sides printed, if printing from a specific tray, then some kind of user authentication (i am lazy and i didn't care about privacy so i used cloudflare access), so the complexity becomes much bigger.
Before making my crude script I searched long time for a free or cheap solution, but I didn't find. If you find, let me know

Luglio 2024: devo fare una pratica all'ambasciata italiana. Mi dicono che ora c'è da prendere un appuntamento sul sito del ministero degli esteri. Bene, primo appuntamento disponibile a settembre, ci sono solo 10 posti al giorno. Mi danno appuntamento alle 11.23. Il giorno stabilito mi alzo alle 5, faccio 1000 km col treno e arrivo con 30 minuti di anticipo. Sorpresa! "Appuntamento alle 11.23” in realtà significa "entri alle 11.23 ma prima di te ci sono 100 persone senza appuntamento, forse ti facciamo alle 16" Sono incazzato nero perché alle 15 ho il treno per tornare a casa, biglietto non rimborsabile ed è pure l'ultimo della giornata, se lo perdo mi tocca pure pagare una notte in albergo oltre a un altro biglietto...... Ho dato per scontato che se mi davano un appuntamento con orario preciso al minuto, mi avrebbero fatto passare entro un'ora, invece... E dicono "per le emergenze anche senza appuntamento", eccheccazzo, 100 persone tutte con emergenza? Emergenza reale o semplicemente si sono svegliate ieri? Non possono passare dopo i 10 cretini che hanno preso l'appuntamento 2 mesi fa?

Many users bought Resident evil for iOS because it was working offline. Perfect for long trips. But a new update adds a mandatory DRM online check at start-up. I wrote bought, but actually the word is rented. One day Capcom stops updating the games (and this is 100% guaranteed) and a few years later the "owner" gets "This app needs to be updated to run on this iPhone" Meanwhile, people who pirated a cracked ipa, don't get any issue in playing the game offline. DRM exclusively hurts the paying customers.

Today they revoked the access to it. Clicking the link they say "revoked because purchased from an untrustworthy reseller" Yeah... untrustworthy reseller, look at the invoice and see who sold&shipped that physical copy...  Contacted support, they said that they won't do anything about it because it's EOL. Moral of the story: don't do like me. **If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing.** Never give your money to Adobe.

Per il mio catorcio immatricolato nel 1994 per evitare di pagare un premio assicurativo superiore al valore del mezzo, avevo fatto un contratto con scatola nera dell'intesa san paolo. Ne hanno di due tipi. Una più complessa, un quadrato di 15x15 cm che richiede di essere installato sul parabrezza per vedere i satelliti, smontare tutto il cruscotto, tagliare fili, inserire la massa, ecc. Questo è pensato per le auto più vecchie. Per le auto nuove hanno invece uno più semplice, si attacca alla centralina, si mette sopra la batteria e prende i dati via canbus. Costa molto meno sia di installazione sia di realizzazione. Come minimo risparmiano 100 euro di installazione presso il loro elettrauto convenzionato. Adesso ho cambiato automobile con una più moderna, sono andato a cambiare la scatola nera dando per scontato che avrebbero semplicemente messo quella sulla batteria come fanno tutti gli altri e... MURO DI GOMMA. "No, il contratto originale prevedeva l'installazione invasiva, quindi rimontiamo il box gigante con smontaggio totale del cruscotto e ci deve lasciare l'auto per una settimana". Non c'è stato nulla da fare. Sono stato due ore in filiale a discutere. "Per i nuovi contratti sui nuovi veicoli montiamo quello light in 10 minuti, ma siccome è un vecchio contratto, il sistema ci obbliga a rimontare quello invasivo." Al che ho fatto presente che visto il furto che ho subito con l'acquisto della nuova auto, non ci pensavo assolutamente a farmi smontare l'intero cruscotto per una ragione così burocratica: o mettete la scatola light o si applica il diritto di recesso. La risposta che mi ha lasciato abbastanza sconcertato: "bene, allora per recedere dal contratto mandi una raccomandata a xxx con scritto yyy e facciamo rimborso" Potevo capire se per ragioni economiche/ecologiche avessero rimontato quello vecchio prendendolo dalla vecchia auto, ma dice che no, quello va in discarica, e ne rimontano comunque uno nuovo di zecca. A me non pare il vero, ho visto che con altre assicurazioni posso risparmiare 100 euro e non avere scatole nere antiprivacy...

(it's a tablet in a smartphone form factor, it doesn't have cellular connectivity) For reference, android 14 was announced 6 months before the launch of this device. It's a bit surprising that Google still allows device certification with such ancient, unsupported and vulnerable OS. All the marketing materials don't say which CPU it's using except "Qualcomm octa core CPU" - that means nothing as the description could apply to the Snapdragon 415, which was a low end slow system on a chip released ten years ago. Maybe it could explain why they're using an ancient version of Android - the soc that they're using it's a leftover found in some warehouse and it's already unsupported by the manufacturer; they're forced to use android 11.
Cinque anni fa ho accidentalmente scordato una rata dell' IMU Il comune ha aperto una pratica ad APRILE e... L'ha lasciata in un cassetto fino all'11 giugno, data dell'invio raccomandata. A parte che sono abbastanza fetenti per ricordarmelo dopo tutto questo tempo, ci sono anni di sanzioni e interessi che potevo risparmiare se me l'avessero notificato 4 anni fa, ma l'intera operazione a me puzza di "ordini venuti dall'alto", come il sindaco che ha ordinato di non inviare alcun verbale finché non siano passate le elezioni. Ma è possibile? O è solo una coincidenza che siano passati 3 mesi tra firma verbale e invio?
Mi si è spaccato il radiatore sul mio mezzo di trasporto privato, quindi sono andato a vedere tra i concessionari qualcosa di economico, considerando di rottamare il mio. Avevo visto la pubblicità della panda che costa 9700 euro nuova. (Comunque ingannevole perché mostra una foto della panda cross full optional che costa quasi il doppio)  Dice il concessionario, no quel prezzo non esiste , la panda viene 16mila euro poi noi facciamo un bello sconto di 3000. Bello! Lo sconto di 3000 in realtà però lo mette lo stato... Ho chiesto se c'era qualcosa di usato. Dice no, tutto l'usato costa più del nuovo. E mi ha portato a vedere tutte le panda usate che ha nel parcheggio col prezzo sul parabrezza. Tutte ex noleggio, 14000 se pagate in contanti o 12500 se pagate con la loro formula "96 rate + 3 anni di super Kasko" che te la farà pagare 25mila. Ehi ma due tagliandi sono in regalo! Certo perché ha senso fare i tagliandi su un'auto fuori garanzia (olio e filtri comunque te li fanno pagare) Alla fine mi mostra la panda usata più economica che ha. (Quella in foto iniziale) Me la venderebbe a quasi 1000 euro in più di quanto sarebbe costata nuova, con 8 anni e 70mila km in più.  Sono andato via con un "ci penso" e sono andato da un altro concessionario. Stessa storia stessi prezzi Non riesco proprio a capire la logica di questi prezzi - c'è qualcuno che compra mezzi di trasporto pagandoli così? O è "scacchi 4d" per cercare di dirottare l'acquirente a comprare un "salotto su ruote" in leasing "visto che costa poco più al mese". La panda usata in 96 rate con Taeg 8% ha una rata simile a un SUV...

I used to open them with cookies rejected in ddg browser but now it pretends to freeze after 4 seconds of play, then it says that i must open it in the app and replaces the "play" button with a fake button that leads to google play.

Note for Americans: here WhatsApp is the de facto communication standard. Literally nobody uses SMS/iMessage/Facebook messenger/signal. And carriers still charge 2 euro for a MMS which completely kills iMessage/RCS (if accidentally send MMS, it's expensive) I switched phones and instead of copying manually /Android/data/media/com.whatsapp I used the new feature of pairing via qr code. Besides that's a not very well designed feature (you need to start transfer on the old phone *before* logging in the new phone) because they really want to store unencrypted backups on Google drive, the transfer completed in a short time. Maybe too fast, I was expecting at least one hour to transfer the 5000 photos 10gb, instead it completed in 20 seconds. So I told myself, ok photos not transferred, I'll just do that manually and directly put them in the photo archive on my PC rather than keep them mixed with all the "happy holidays" trash. I browse the old phone to /Android/data/media/com.whatsapp and... It's empty. Wiped clean after the "successful" transfer process! Luckily I had set syncthing (the fork on fdroid, the one on play store doesn't have access to whole storage) to have a full overnight backup! On my PC I still had all the photos, almost deleted too as I noticed that I didn't set the "trash can" option Conclusion: go to download syncthing fork from fdroid and have a safety net from mistakes like this
Ciao avete mai provato l'olio di Sansa? Per me ho sempre preso l'extra vergine, però ho fatto un errore Domattina vengono a trovarmi degli amici coreani che fanno un giro turistico dell'Europa (o un tour de force direi, magari potrei fare un post ulteriore domani) Mi dicono che passano a trovarmi e se posso comprare un po' di roba per loro che la vorrebbero e non riescono a trovare il tempo per andare al supermercato. Mi mandano una lista colossale. Ho pochissimo tempo quindi invece di andare al supermercato vado al penny market. Torno a casa con 15kg di cibo mediocre e vedo che invece dell'olio extravergine ho comprato l'olio di Sansa, tanicone da 5 litri: hanno espressamente richiesto il tanicone di acciaio ed era l'unico sullo scaffale, e avevo solo 5 minuti prima della chiusura, non mi sono accorto del problema Avete mai provato quest'olio? Quanto è terribile se usato crudo su bruschette? Meglio dire che era esaurito o faccio finta di nulla? Per confronto una volta gli diedi una bottiglia di spumante dolce e per loro era una delicatezza assoluta da finire subito a gozzate

Sono andato a lavoro in bicicletta. Grazie alla lungimiranza della pianificazione stradale a misura di auto, ci sono due modi di arrivare a destinazione: 1. allungare di 3 km 2. fare 200 metri contromano La strada è stretta e le auto vanno veloci, quindi vado sul marciapiede. Attenzione però. La città è a misura di auto, quindi è uno di quei marciapiedi larghi 20 cm. **SPINGO** la bicicletta a mano. Non pedalo, **SPINGO** e quindi vado alla stessa velocità di un pedone. Arriva un pedone dall'altra parte, nessun problema, tanto sto **SPINGENDO** la bici, scendo dal minimarciapiede per fare passare meglio. Si incazza! "Voi ciclisti di merda!!! Questo è contromano, non si può andare sul marciapiede!!!" Ma che CAZZO vuole??? Sto SPINGENDO la bici!!! Sono equivalente a una mamma che spinge un passeggino, anche per lei è vietato??? A quel punto arriva anche il paladino della situazione e che si deve far vedere splendido e che pensando che io andassi a 30 sui minimarciapiedi inizia ad attaccarmi "io chiamo la polizia, guidare così è mortale!!!" Ma mortale di cosa??? Ma hai visto che cosa è successo? Guarda proprio te che stai passeggiando su un marciapiede di 20 cm con un labrador gigante, stai prendendo molto più spazio di me che SPINGO la mia bicicletta! Mi viene voglia di [seguire il consiglio di land rover](https://mastodon.uno/@rivoluzioneurbanamobilita/112426494229544624) e parcheggiare la portaerei di 6 metri sul marciapiede come fanno tutti per "dominare la città" Vengon fatte piste ciclabili e la gente si incazza perché le strade sono più strette e ci sono meno parcheggi, ma allo stesso tempo esigono che chi va in bicicletta prenda una pista ciclabile fantasma
One of those two sites is distributing adware. Which of them? File Converter (FOSS) by [Adrien Allard](https://github.com/Tichau) was hosted on file-converter[.]org since a decade. Then someone a few weeks ago snatched that domain and it's now distributing adware. Almost identical design for the page, 100% designed to deceive users to download a different product, as it's called Zamzar.
And the label doesn't say anything about it, doesn't have the "don't throw in the trash" logo. Those LEDs are glued in, there's no way to remove batteries before discarding the item

A week of downtime and all the servers were recovered only because the customer had a proper disaster recovery protocol and held backups somewhere else, otherwise Google deleted the backups too Google cloud ceo says "it won't happen anymore", it's insane that there's the possibility of "instant delete everything"

I turned on my old HTC espresso after a decade and I remembered that I loved this app. It creates an unique profile image for contacts without a profile picture So now when you open the contact list instead of having a list of capital letters in a circle you have a list of capital letters in a more colorful circle Unfortunately it's now outdated and discontinued, but it still works on Android 14. Seems like some asshole took the source code and republished the app as is, without credit, in the Amazon app store to get some financial incentive (around 2014 blackberry paid devs to republish their apps and many assholes decided that it was a good idea to "steal" open source apps) After this, dev took development private but then got tired of the update treadmill that Google forces on the play store, so the apps were automatically delisted. Luckily, fdroid doesn't have such artificial limitations on outdated apps that still work as intended.

Include anche le tasse e il costo del trasporto, però mi pare assurdo pagare una quota fissa a prescindere dal consumo. Se sfori il consumo che avevi concordato l'anno precedente, l'eccedenza è fatturata a quasi il 1000% sopra il PUN, e se invece consumi meno di quanto avevi concordato, regali soldi all'utility. Quasi nessuno è in grado di poter stabilire con un anno di anticipo il consumo previsto, a meno che non sia per esempio una server room con consumi costanti nel tempo

I hate registering to websites. Especially when it's just to download FOSS. It looks like there's no way to download Ondsel without registering?
I've enough. Last year the automatic updater was rebooting windows without any warning after the uac prompt. The problem continued for **months** before being fixed This year I got an update a week. Very annoying to get the same "why u no reboot? I need updates" question every single time I turn on my PC. Today when updating it kills explorer.exe without any confirmation and doesn't bring it back to life. I don't think that their paid enterprise customers are doing the ~~beta~~ alpha testers like this. Is it really necessary to push nightlies to end users? It can't be tested casually for a couple of days then pushed? I disabled the updates check and will update the nextcloud desktop client manually every 5 years if I can remember. Added an exception to Winget so it doesn't update it. I lost my patience.
oh no!!!! Facebook down per quasi due ore!!!!!!!! E ora?????????? Cavolo come facciamo a vivere???????
It's a 8th gen Intel laptop CPU with 64 GB of ddr4 Definitely a bargain!
Vedo un software bellissimo. Mi piace. Non ci sono i prezzi. Si parte subito male. Gli do' comunque una mail di un account throwaway per seguirli con la newsletter. In una mail pubblicitaria menzionano un prezzo: "a *partire* da TOT al mese". TOT sono un migliaio di euro l'anno, ma risparmierei svariate ore di lavoro al mese, *conviene*. Mando una mail dicendo che sono interessato, rispondono che bisogna fare una videochiamata su zoom. Ok, faccio questa videochiamata di quasi un'ora dove mi chiedono partita IVA, quanti computer, quante licenze, quanti dipendenti... Dico che serve solo a me, quindi mi basta una licenza, poi mi parte lo spiegone di tutte le features. Ok, approvato! Mi dice che bisogna prendere una licenza per tutti e che quindi TOT sarebbe TOT x 50. Spiego che TOT rientra bene nel budget, ma TOT x 50 decisamente no. Non potevano dirlo prima? Si risparmiava un'ora a testa.
