Waze has speed trap warnings. They don’t have anything else (and were also bought out by Google), but for navigation, it rocks.

They are hiding it deliberately if people are more likely to leave critical or negative reviews.

I can’t leave reviews through the Google maps app either, the function is gone. If I open the mobile website, it’s there again.

Fucking hypocrites.

Selling a product is a good business model if the product has a shelf life or naturally degrades over time, but served you so well that you’ll replace it in kind or with an upgrade.

A product that does something exactly once and done doesn’t scale long term, so once the hype was over, that was that.

Bought back by the one person who already had prior access, and bought by her own research non-profit. As far as privacy concerns go, that’s the best case scenario.

Yeah Linux is great, no doubt. I’ve been using Xubuntu since forever, never really touched Arch, but fundamentally if you know your way around one system, you’ll manage another.

Still, there are a bunch of applications that I must run under Windows, so it’s good to have the no frills version available for that.

Lol, did whoever set to the shop configure it in Australian dollars? 100 AUD are just about 65 USD. Given the currency fluctuation, that could just about work out.

Install the IoT version, that comes without any of the bloat and works just fine. Not even the Microsoft store is bundled in.

I’ll throw post WW2 apologetics into the ring. Can’t blame Israel publicly without risking career suicide, both in politics and corporate.

Nah, I really like em on the skinny side.

Thick butts. No thank you. A little bump is nice, but most of what’s out there is gross, and with a surface resembling asteroid impact craters.

Pointless, unless you leave the roomba running outdoors. Indoors you don’t have GPS coverage, and your phone is logged onto the same cell tower anyway. Might just leave it stationary at home, same outcome.

That’s Chinese.

Same. I’ve come to terms using it in browser mode on Edge, same for Outlook. The desktop applications are so horrific, I uninstalled both. Half the time they wouldn’t work or force log me out.

Now I literally have a standalone screen that’s showing nothing but Edge with those two tabs on, and all my productive environment is on a nice large screen where I don’t have to see the crap.

It’s ok, I’m using the free tier and regularly delete and set up new addresses. Works for the really spammy stuff.

I also good a paid account with addy.io where I added one of my domains, that’s something I use for more legit services where I want more control about the username, so I can always use something like [email protected] and never have to worry about finding obscure usernames. And if I stop using a certain service, I can just switch off the alias and never bother about retention crap.

So let me get this straight: Google killed the amazing feature of google translate that allowed it to translate stuff in other apps for being “intrusive” since it requires the “draw over other apps” permission, but now having some fucking AI rummage throughout the device is fine and dandy?

For life is tricky considering “end of life” products will typically still work reasonably well for decades after being obsolete, but might be susceptible to future exploits that end up unpatched, and you really don’t want to become part of a botnet.

With that said, I’ve had an Asus RT-AX88U for over 6 years now, it’s receiving regular updates, and there’s a third party firmware (Merlin) that adds some features and keeps being upgraded as well.

My house is 20m square, but I have a shed outside with some gardening automation going on, so overall it stretches 34m from router to last device. I have two Asus Zenwifi AX mini mesh-nodes, one upstairs and one in the rear end of the house (about 18m from the router and 14m from the last device), and I don’t have any connectivity issues.

Overall there are 22 devices permanently connected, plus another 4-6 randomly (two laptops, 2 phones, plus visitors).

Never had an unscheduled reboot, though I do install new firmware every 2 months which takes the network down for about 5 min.

Liberals are genocide apologists?!

She already said that she’d do just that. Let’s see how fast they’ll let her leave next time. If at all.

No. With moderate exercise and checking for correct sitting postures, you shouldn’t ever have back pain. I’m in my 40s and only feel a bit tight when I overdid my exercise routine.

The developers of Lemmy also run lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml, the former being a hardcore communist anti-everything delusional conspiracy crapshoot of a platform, the latter a tiny bit more relaxed, but moderated/administered by a bunch of dicks that are essentially also tankies (= hardcore leftists) and Russia fans/apologists.

They (the devs) recently asked for funding to support their work, and in doing so, disclosed that part of the funding would be used to run those two instances, thus giving users no alternative to support without cross-financing extremism.

Piefed is developed independently and has none of those links to moronic ideologies.

Piefed as a platform uses the same underlying protocol as lemmy, mastodon, etc. (Activity Hub), so users can seamlessly interact with one another.
