2005 is about as late as you can go before the processors in cameras started being powerful enough to do a lot of stuff to the images. Most of my collection is very early 2000s or even late 90s. The Sony Cyber-shot…
This. Important distinction between "the company wants to know everything that happens to the server" and "Microsoft wants to know why you don't want their bloated adware running 24/7"
So is there a regedit you can do to disable OneDrive completely or does Microsoft worm their way around that as well. Honestly the only thing keeping me from updating from Windows 10 to Windows 11 is that the ads and…
Early digicams weren't powerful enough to pull off a lot of the fancy behind-the-scenes instant post-processinf modern cameras do before you even get to see the picture. The result was they often resembled film…
Haven't touched Mastodon myself. "Decentralized" reads to me as "fragmented, dependent upon randoms to uphold the infrastructure, interoperable to a degree but you'd better hope your 'home' server doesn't go down for…
Professional wine tasters are proven to be full of shit from top to bottom time and time again, and yet they still have careers, it's still a very wealthy industry, and people still give them the time of day. Pretty…
Water isn't dangerous but if you were dropped into the middle of the ocean you would probably drown. Does that mean you must swear off water because it's proven to be dangerous since people drown in it?

last time I encountered this, I had my phone on me, but had no cell signal in the area and the restaurant had no public wifi. I asked my server for a physical menu and they brought me a goddamn iPad with the brightness…
why not both
I don't own a good record player, but I like to support small artists that I really enjoy. I do usually also buy the CD if I can and rip it to FLACs to play on my phone.
Fragment? You mean Telegram's attempt to cash in on the cryptocoin scam, with their own walled-garden system and marketplace where it's currently hovering around $30 to buy a number, when it's genuinely cheaper to just…
lol I just saw a recent Bandcamp update for iOS where the changelog said it "updated payment workflow" or something and it got me real confused because the app has never let you buy anything
lol to the guy accusing floppy disks of being "plastic waste." As if SSDs encased in 90% hollow plastic/metal, or USB drives encased in varying amounts of unnecessary plastic are somehow less "wasteful" than floppy…
So presumably a bug that can be fixed by either AMD updating their optimizer, Factorio updating to work better with it, or both?
https://bearblog.dev seems like a good alternative for simple, clean, good looking blogs. Prioritizes quick loading and efficient web design.
Just got to say I appreciate the visual pun of the "autopilot" from Airplane.
Why are prepaid carriers so much better then traditional ones, it seems? I've been on Metro for years, service is identical to T-Mobile at a fraction of the cost with no hidden fees.
Overall pretty meaningless coming from Facebook. They'll still collect all the metadata they want. The only theoretical benefit this offers to the user is in the event of a massive Messenger data breach, at least the…
Horse apples?
Cryptographically secured? Perhaps. Distributed, in the sense of a blockchain? Highly unlikely.
Man, I would love to get a Fairphone, but they won't sell it to the US, and even if I spent an exorbitant amount having it imported, the modem inside isn't programmed for US frequencies so network compatibility will be…
The U.S. economy will fall even more steeply into depression, the housing market bubble will pop, and it will be incredibly hard for a time, but will ultimately be good for most.
Physical media remains king
