Looks like everything is essentially in the same spot UI wise, but with a native application that hopefully gets moving a lot faster.

I've noticed that currently on Bitwarden, for auto fill it takes 6-7 seconds just to get authenticated with fingerprint and fill in the username and password field. That should hopefully be down to like 2 or 3 seconds.

That's a lot of CO2 not going into the atmosphere anymore from burning hundreds of thousands of liters of jet fuel, nice!

It's not "irregular", and it's been done before as protest. A Buddhist monk did it in the past to protest the slaughter of cattle.

It would be better spent in our hands. I for one would like to keep the money I work for.

B-but that's communism! /s

Does anyone know yet if long COVID is an auto-immune disease? I only assume it is but otherwise don't know.

That's what the 'Lockdown' feature on Pixel phones does.

Impossible to force a fingerprint or face scan because it asks the phone to only accept passcodes.

I do see it as a potential problem with moderation on Lemmy's end. You have all of the users from Threads interacting with Lemmy and Kbin users. It's possible there's an influx of accounts on here that are trolling, and it becomes unmanageable to moderate everything on Lemmy's side.

But Threads will have no problems with content moderation.

I travelled recently, and was filled with disgust when I was told to scan my boarding pass and look into the camera to get in line. I would have asked to go through an alternative line but didn't want to miss my flight.

What the fuck is wrong with people

The Samsung SCH-U740

It was a good one! It literally flipped 2 ways.

It's possible competition will just recognize their advantage and pay workers more to get that step ahead.

I read somewhere that they will still be green. It's confirmed by Apple as well.

The reason they're moving forward with this is because if Apple tries to sue, it could make a case for Google that Apple is trying to take control of messaging in the United States. If they don't sue, should Google come after them down the line Apple can say "we're aware of 3rd party iMessage and decided to not take action to increase interoperability" yadda yadda.

That's my guess anyway.

You could even say, they cancelled Bud Light.

Oh wait no, they don't do that! /s

Yeah but it doesn't work on macOS, only Surface Pro and Raspberry Pi, and a few others I think.

The M2 chip is ARM, it just adds some hurdles. I think there's some work being done for dual-booting Linux on the M2 chip, but as for Windows you have to use Parallels in macOS.

Older Macs with Intel processors will of course run any OS no problem.

I just worry about driver support as I do for Lenovo. They're probably fine, but again, I haven't used a Dell in a while.

Dell XPS might be good but I'm not sure, somehow I doubt it.

Macs of course will work properly, at the expense of having to use macOS.

My trio used to be Apple, Dell and Lenovo. But now it's Framework and Apple.

Lenovo is shit. They really aren't worth a damn anymore.

I've had fingerprint driver issues with my expensive Lenovo Yoga, and AHCI driver issues with an expensive Lenovo ThinkPad. Support is non existent, and if you do manage to find any help through their channels, they don't help and don't care.

My next laptop will be with Framework or some other company that doesn't try to screw me.

You're not wrong. And unless the controllers have some sort of TPM module in them then yeah they'll be easily bypassed.

Given that Xbox is a closed console, couldn't they just have rootkit anticheat by default?

Maybe I'm stuck in the past but it still seems as if consoles still don't employ anticheats.

Not gonna lie, I'm a fan of the black and white modern look, and I'm not a fan of the "classic ranch home look". But I'd say the house in the first picture definitely has more of a personality to it, despite not usually liking that style. Plus, it still looked like a modern version of the classic ranch look.

Not to mention that the 5 seconds countdown timer is bullshit. In actuality, the timer appears after about a second of playing through the ad, then locks at 5 seconds for about a second and a half, then slowly counts down to 1 where it locks for a second and a half again, and finally gives you the option to skip the ad. I'd wager it's closer to 7 or 8 seconds per "5 second" ad.

Yeah I wouldn't finish homework till like 8:30 PM, a lot of the time I just didn't have the time to finish it.. Homework is trash!

I hope this isn't a "Net Neutrality, oh and we'll also spy on you for the good of humanity" bill

Not sure why people are downvoting you. I've been in about 2 Valorant games where I've seen people straight up get banned mid-match. It terminated the match immediately.

On top of that, I've never seen obvious cheaters in Valorant. Go play Counter-Strike for long enough and you'll find spin bots.

Is rootkit anti-cheat sketchy? Absolutely. Does it work really fucking well? Absolutely.

This is what I do especially if it's expensive. If I find myself researching it more and more, it means I really want it and will very likely use it a lot. If I lose interest on day one it's not worth it.

The fact that this guy is going to jail by January but Trump isn't even close, means something is very wrong with our justice system.

Intel Management Engine is also noted to be a backdoor, which is in the CPU itself.

The Purism laptop disables IME, or at least tries to from what I understand.

I mean yeah you're not wrong. If only the Surface wasn't so absurdly overpriced for what you get.

From a security perspective, as long as you check the hash against Microsoft's website then it should be okay. Otherwise I'm not sure where to get Windows on ARM ISO's from.

Here's an archive of all Windows updates and builds. This query is for arm64.

https://www.uup.ee/known.php?q=arm64

Already does?

Windows on ARM is a thing, and it does x64 and x86 translation.

The chips likely also have hardware to accelerate translation as well, to compete with M1 and M2 chips.

The "Phone Barn" market is incoming

This is what I believe Google is actually trying to get carriers to do, and I suspect carriers (in some shape or form) will actually do this, just not in the way you think.

RCS will eventually become the dominant messaging standard, however, I think they're actually working on a backwards compatibility for SMS and MMS in some capacity. In this way, phones (like the iPhone or older Android phones) will still be capable of sending and receiving SMS and MMS in typical elitist walled-garden fashion, but the carrier will receive it as an RCS message and relay it to an RCS-compatible device as an RCS message.

In this way, group chats with four Android users and two iPhone users will still allow those Android users to benefit from RCS from each other (typing indicators, reactions, potentially some level of E2E, support for large media, etc), while the iPhones in the group chat will actually be the ones having a negative experience (no typing indicators, reactions appearing as text messages, no E2E, obnoxious green bubbles) since Apple refuses to integrate RCS into their Messaging application. Of course Apple will continue to gaslight their customers through high contrast green bubble dark patterns, and continued refusal of adopting RCS or creating iMessage for Android. As they've made clear, they don't care about giving their customers the best possible experience, and prefer to maintain market control for as long as possible.

The #GetTheMessage ads are likely gearing up for the eventuality of this change, and the Pixel x iPhone ads are all "buddy buddy, kill them with kindness" so they can out Apple as the hostile ones when they refuse to acknowledge the existence of other smartphones either through its aggressive marketing, or through refusal to adopt open standards.

If this were all to happen, depending on how well the RCS backwards compatibility worked and its ability to out Apple as the shut ins that they are, I could (crazy talk) foresee Apple creating a standalone iMessage app to, at the very minimum, keep Android users talking within their iMessage ecosystem.

I love glasses, they add style. Contacts are good but I wouldn't be a fan of having to do that every morning and night

I've also been on the beta. Overall Android doesn't seem to have really change though, aside from maybe better battery life and minor aesthetic changes.

They're confusing the homeless welfare queens for themselves, the bailout welfare queens.

I side loaded it and it works great!

And it's been proven that medication doesn't necessarily work. Over the years, medication has honestly messed me up more than it's ever helped me, in permanent ways.

Price of WD red HDD's about to go up too
