Nintendo targets Reddit pirates in piracy crackdown
  • In the gbatemp thread they wrote that this guy flew too much near to the sun:

    1. Reused his username everywhere to the point that his name and the fact that he was from Arizona was public

    2. Sent back to Nintendo multiple switches to repair using that name with an Arizona address

    It wasn't hard for them to dox and sue him as he literally gave them his real address multiple times...

  • My server won't turn on 🫤
  • It's dangerous and you can blew it if you don't know what are you doing but by shorting two specific pins, it's possible to turn on the PSU and see it it's working or not

    Did you use a vacuum on the fans and let them spin during the clean?

  • Telefonia, perchè sempre più utenti usano telefonare via WhatsApp al posto...
  • a lavoro osservo molti utonti come usano il telefono. Non è che usano whatsapp per telefonare perché si risparmiano minuti (ormai tutti i piani ne includono a migliaia) ma semplicemente premono l'icona telefono dentro la chat. Non sono in grado di aprire la rubrica, cercare il contatto e chiamarlo, ma vanno nelle chat che sono in ordine cronologico, entrano dentro e chiamano. Per loro non c'è differenza con una telefonata normale. Domani whatsapp potrebbe iniziare a fatturarle 1 euro al minuto e continuerebbero a usarle.

  • Well THAT fucking sucks! 🤬
  • Add the newpipe repository to fdroid for faster updates

    Or use a fdroid client like droid-ify where the newpipe repository can enabled with just a toggle and not a somewhat difficult to find url

  • Tell me why I shouldn't use btrfs
  • One day I had a power outage and I wasn't able to mount the btrfs system disk anymore. I could mount it in another Linux but I wasn't able to boot from it anymore. I was very pissed, lost a whole day of work

  • Brave Search aggiunge altra AI al suo motore di ricerca
  • Non capisco proprio queste tech company. La gente è contenta delle query normali, ma si stanno fissando sulle inutili query ai che costano 1000 volte in più di corrente e sono anche 1000 volte meno precise

  • Nextcloud client just deleted all of my files, why did it do this?
  • it is now a non issue

    IMHO it's still a big issue that might lead to data loss to someone else. The Windows client should be hardcoded to refuse syncing in onedrive folder.

    Someone should reproduce this in a VM and open a GitHub issue

    Edit: they already know this since a couple years, and the same happens on MacOS https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/4276

  • Before buying this printer, I made a quick search to confirm that it has wifi connectivity... (the algorithm lied to me)
  • i was in a physical store and i saw this in clearance, didn't have time to do the usual spreadsheet where i compare 10 almost identical variants all with a similar price that vary by just one bit.

    The same stuff is sold as G2170, G2270, G2470, G2570, G2770, G2870 and G2970, one add something but remove something.

  • Before buying this printer, I made a quick search to confirm that it has wifi connectivity... (the algorithm lied to me)
  • i already opened it and filled with ink, if it was from amazon i'd do that, but i bought it from a small business and that would cause a big loss to them, the printheads are now primed and a return is e-waste as they're going to dry if sitting unused in a warehouse. At work we have many usb to ethernet print servers from the early 00s, they're now e-waste and i can get one for free (it's just that wifi is more convenient and i can place it wherever it fits, instead of routing a cable to the switch)

    edit: wait... i realized only now that printheads are disposable (they're removable and not preinstalled) but they don't sell those as a spare part?????? FUCK! Will this be destined to the e-waste collection in 2-3 years?????

  • Before buying this printer, I made a quick search to confirm that it has wifi connectivity... (the algorithm lied to me)
  • I also took 30 minutes of reading the manual before realizing that, yes it doesn't appear in the wifi network list because it doesn't actually have wifi connectivity...

    edit before someone calls me dumb "u even don't know how to read the manual": the user manual is shared with other 10 models and has sections like "how to share the scanner in the network"

  • Before buying this printer, I made a quick search to confirm that it has wifi connectivity... (the algorithm lied to me)

    and because i'm a lazy ass i didn't read the specs but just read the search engine result.

    I also assumed that because 6 years ago i bought a $50 hp envy and it had wifi, this much expensive one is also going to have it

    Result: that $250 printer doesn't actually have wifi

    How can you expect people to upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 if you can't even program your task bar properly, Microsoft?
  • The taskbar in windows 11 bothers me too much.

    If it's not ready leave the windows 10 one until it's ready.

    They have over 100k software engineers, it should be impossible that they need this much time to fix it.

    I can't believe that they launched without drag and drop support and they took years to add it back. Same for "do not combine icons" settings. Go to watch windows 95 source code if you forgot how drag and drop worked...

    Now I wonder how many years need to pass to fix that "restore explorer windows at login" setting which was broken last year when they introduced tabbed explorer

  • Can't install app because it isn't "certified" by the government

    There's a certain "people's republic" where they introduced a new government signature on all android apps. For "safety", as they "check" the apps for you 😉

    !more of this ICP scam

    For now it can be bypassed after three pages of scary warnings but in the future?

    Maybe it could be a big reason of why they're liking harmony os that much, you don't need to manually approve android apps if android apps are completely unsupported

    Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new

    I hate this scale, it says low battery and shuts off after just 3 months of sitting in the drawer. It infuriates me that there's still a lot of energy in the battery, I can use that in remote controls with no issues

    If there's enough battery to say "low battery", then there's enough battery to show the measurements!

    Gsam battery monitor has been delisted?

    I went to install gsam battery monitor on a new phone and it looks like it has been delisted recently.

    Does anyone has more info on that? It was a staple on my phones since almost a decade...

    Any alternative that shows a graph with rate of charge/discharge?

    Verizon pixel 7 and android 15?

    I bought a refurbished pixel 7 in europe. I assumed it was the european version (GVU6C).

    I tested it and it appeared functional in all functions, so i released the escrow to the seller.

    Now because I don't trust the software hasn't been tampered, I wanted to clean it with flash.android.com but... can't because it can't unlock the bootloader (even if i connect to internet and call the code ##2432546## to get the "checkin requested" from google play services)

    It looks like i have the model GQML3 for Verizon which can't be bootloader unlocked. FUCK! I especially bought this because it can unlock the bootloader...

    Anyway.... about restoring the original software....

    Phone says "phone is with latest update installed" with android 14 and security update from 5 june 2024.

    Can I flash the full image for android 15 with october security update or i risk a brick? Do I need to wait for the lazy fucks at verizon to "certify" the android 15 update? Those fuckers take ages to "certify" the updates...

    Has anyone tried the new Resilio Sync 3?

    A decade ago I used BitTorrent Sync. Then it became Resilio Sync. Then with Resilio Sync 2 they nerfed the free app to a point that I just removed that from all my computers and switched to syncthing.

    Yesterday I was watching my server struggling when syncthing was doing the periodic scan of a directory with hundreds of thousands of files and then i thought, "maybe Resilio Sync uses less resources or doesn't waste time reindexing a static directory for the nth time"

    I went to see their website and now with the new version 3, all the features are back. The business plan now is to sell the app to enterprises at unaffordable prices rather to persuade consumers to pay a subscription to self host their syncing server

    I wanted to try it but now they say docker version is discontinued, need to install the package to bare metal. Ugh... So I desisted and decided to stay with syncthing

    Now with the news of the impending discontinuation of syncthing android app, everything changes. Without Android support, syncthing is no more irreplaceable for me.

    So, has anyone tried Resilio Sync 3? Is it good?

    Is directly using plastic pellets a good idea?

    I saw a 3d printer using plastic pellets instead of filament.

    Is this a good idea? Because I never saw anyone doing this.

    Seller says "in this way it won't run out of filament" but I have the impression of imprecise extrusions (machine was fitted with a big 0.8mm nozzle)

    Can RAM degrade after a reinsertion?

    I got a really weird problem.

    Two years ago bought a set of 4x DDR4 3200 16gb each, single sided and placed them in a ryzen 5600 desktop computer, which i almost never turned it off. It worked without issue.

    This weekend I wanted to dust off the PC, so I took all the components out, replaced the thermal paste and so on.

    Turned on the PC again, worked apparently without issues until after a while Linux was pissed about going out of memory. Out of memory? With 64gb of RAM? I checked with dmidecode -t memory and I saw that a channel was reporting completely empty.

    Shut down the PC, reinserted the second channel, rebooted, saw 64gb. One hour later, kernel panic. Rebooted in memtest86+, error in memory. What? Removed one module, error. Removed two modules, no error. Switched the modules, no error. What??

    Placed the two modules that are passing the test in another computer, error. Put back in the original computer, pass test. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    Now I downclocked from 3200 to 2400 and everything seems working fine.

    What could be? Have I been cursed?

    After a few reinsertions do the slots degrade to a point that can't sustain 3200 anymore?

    Reminder: il phishing arriva anche per PEC

    Segnalato abuso a aruba, dice che magari non è effettivamente phishing e che magari è effettivamente legittima... (il link scarica un file js contenente sicuramente malware da indirizzi ip residenziali, mentre dice 404 not found da ip datacenter/vpn/esteri, l'operatore ha provato ad aprire il link e non ha funzionato)

    Inoltre, con mio sgomento, ho scoperto che su pec non è possibile impostare filtri o spam e secondo il supporto aruba questo è da design perché su pec bisogna ricevere tutto sempre, per legge, anche se è phishing, malware o spam. Quindi, è sufficiente pagare 5 euro l'anno ad aruba e si ha una licenza a mandare spam/phishing illimitata.

    In una ferramenta vi aspettereste di trovare solo ferramenta o anche materiale elettrico/idraulico?

    Io davo per scontato che una ferramenta non vendesse esclusivamente ferramenta ma anche vernici, materiale elettrico e idraulico. Certo, non con un' ampia gamma di scelta che può fornire un negozio dedicato, però almeno due spine e le due serie BTicino e Vimar più diffuse forse sì.

    Invece sono rimasto stupito a vedere che questa ferramenta grande, con ben 4 locali abbia messo fuori un cartello che dice "per evitare di perdere tempo in coda, in questa ferramenta vendiamo solo ferramenta e non materiale elettrico e idraulico"

    I tried to selfhost Nextcloud at work

    And it failed spectacularly.

    We only needed a simple form, but we wanted to be fancy, so we used "nextcloud forms".

    The docker image automatically updated the install to nextcloud 30, but the forms app requires nextcloud 29 or lower. No warning whatsoever. It's an official app, couldn't they wait that it was ready for NC 30 before launching it? The newsletter boasts "NC hub 9 is the best thing after sliced bread" yet i don't see any difference both in visual or performance compared to NC hub 2

    Conclusion: we made our business to rely on nextcloud forms as a signup form, but the only reason we were using it was disabled who knows how many weeks ago.

    What device can rotate a knob and works with HA?

    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

    Appuntamenti "puntuali" all'italiana

    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?

    www.androidauthority.com OSOM, the company formed from Essential’s ashes, is apparently in shambles

    A lawsuit alleges that Jason Keats, the founder of OSOM, has misused company funds to buy sports cars and fund his lavish lifestyle.

    OSOM, the company formed from Essential’s ashes, is apparently in shambles

    They made millions thanks to crypto bros buying the Solana phone (rebranded osom with custom ROM), claiming the free shit coins, then sending it to e-waste.

    Unfortunately those millions weren't invested in new products but to fund the CEO lifestyle.

    I love how the endgame was to trying getting acquired by HP for billions but that failed.

    Everyone's (also humane ai pin) trying to get acquired by HP, the ultimate bagholder, expert in overvaluing failed startups
