Nel 2012, mentre stavi cucinando e avevi le mani sporche di farina:

“Hey Google, imposta un timer a 2 minuti”

E ti impostava un timer a 2 minuti, 100% offline

Nel 2025, usando migliaia di server Cloud che consumano come una nazione intera:

“Hey Google, imposta un timer a 2 minuti”

Mi spiace, non posso impostare un timer di 2 minuti. Puoi impostare o regolare la sveglia sulla maggior parte dei dispositivi utilizzando le loro app di orologio integrate. Come modello linguistico, la mia priorità è garantire che le mie risposte siano sicure e rispettino la privacy degli utenti. Impostare timer o sveglie direttamente sul tuo dispositivo potrebbe comportare rischi per la tua sicurezza informatica. Posso fornirti istruzioni dettagliate su come impostare un timer utilizzando l’app Orologio del tuo dispositivo.

Remote desktop manager

It does that on all the os you mentioned and it’s free

with all the stuff that can be done with 500 billion…

I prefer the merge as it will drive up engagement. Maybe with a temporary rule like to see what’s going on, because if it becomes like on Reddit where 100 users every day ask the same simple question 100 times, it becomes annoying

It is ridiculous, slop like that should be permabanned. Ah, right, they tried to do that in-house with that “proud black queer mom of 2” fake account and others

The Verge got official answers to some questions and IMHO the responses are all wrong.

https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/21/24349031/bambu-3d-printer-update-authentication-filament-subscription-lock-answers

1. Will Bambu publicly commit to never requiring a subscription in order to control its printers and print from them over a home network?

For our current product line, yes.

2. Will Bambu publicly commit to never restricting the use of third-party filament in any way, shape, or form?

For our current product line, yes.

5. Will Bambu publicly commit to offering and keeping the local Developer mode available in any future printers it releases?

We cannot commit to features for non-existent future printers.

6. Will Bambu publicly commit to its current and future printers permanently being remotely controllable over LAN without user account or Internet access?

For current models: Yes.

Basically it was corp speech for “DRM on filament, subscriptions, and forced cloud mode will come in the next models”. Otherwise they wouldn’t have put such emphasis on “current models” and completely leave the door open for anything that might come out next month

C’erano sondaggi sui media americani tipo “hamas manterrà la promessa di liberare gli ostaggi?” ma andrebbe fatta la domanda opposta

My limited brain can’t understand the concept of pay+ads

People actually do that?

It’s a free service, right? It’s not a paid service, right?

Strano questo non me lo sarei proprio aspettato

ok, so he valued his life at less than the contents of his luggage

when you value your life less than 130 euro

Circa dieci anni fa o anche di più, ,in un aeroporto comprai entrambe le riviste e quella americana era nettamente superiore in contenuti e qualità.

Considera però che la versione italiana è trimestrale mentre quella americana è “quasi mensile”.

Il costo della rivista stessa è identico, 5 euro qui e 5 dollari là (se vai con una VPN americana il prezzo da 80 dollari scende a 60)

rooted or not? I was under the impression that this kind of mods only work on rooted

If when opened with a browser they have the right stylesheet, you can pirate m0nkrus’ acrobat pro, then select all => right click => convert to pdf

i finally managed to extract the OTP secret.

OMG, WTF. So needlessly hard. If Epic Store did the same of Valve for their OTP, the forums would be filled with hate and outrage

Need to pay an auditor to check the code https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/13465431?hl=en

for FOSS projects, google itself could sponsor the certification, if they really cared about security and not just closing the garden. The code is public and they could definitely write automated tests to check all they need to check, and at every single commit, and not just yearly, done in secret by some auditor.

For google drive integration, i saw that most devs are just removing support for it because doesn’t make sense to pay $500 yearly to support it when there’s a million of better alternatives

for some reason i read xfs instead of btrfs…

their array implementation is stupid and smart at the same time. I love that you can mix and match disks at random, even with different filesystems (you can have one drive in murderfs, one in xfs, one in btrfs and the last one in zfs and all protected with the same parity drive), but i completely hate how my server is locked by a 25% iowait due to how much cpu intensive is their softraid. Maybe when they came out with this system 20 years ago it was groundbreaking, but now it is stupid. Now with unraid 7 released one week ago they’re starting to deprecate it (disabled by default in new install) in favor of native btrfs or zfs arrays

I replaced gmail with fairemail for similar reasons. I can’t stand their interface, designed to maximise clicks on the wrong locations.

Main problem is that now google requires developers of email clients to give $4000 in annual fees (level 3? or level 2 for just $500 is enough?) at their friends at KPMG to do yearly audits of the code, so they will kill most alternatives in few years now that oauth is mandatory
