Joe Cool@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Google has been blocking many tools/IP ranges that try to synchronize with YouTubeEnglish4·10 months agoThat’s because it’s all local to your device.
And paying for it with a card with your name on it might be a bad idea…
EDIT: VPN or Usenet might be better and there are also pretty good tools.
Joe Cool@lemmy.mlto Games@lemmy.world•Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions?English2·1 year agoOh this is great. Thanks.
Joe Cool@lemmy.mlto Games@lemmy.world•Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions?English3·1 year agoMonument Valley and Gorogoa are both excellent and free of nonsense.
Both are available on mobile and Steam. Gorogoa also on GOG currently 70% off.
Meant to link monument valley 2: https://www.monumentvalleygame.com/mv2

That password was only for network shares/NT domains. 95 didn’t have any concept of users, like DOS.
Joe Cool@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AIEnglish5·1 year agoI just pressed cancel. Who needs network shares.
On XP you could start the On Screen Keyboard, open the help for that and then open the explorer by browsing for a different help file.MS has a history of security first.
Joe Cool@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's backEnglish1·1 year agoYeah, even XP had Rover, the search dog.
Ninite and Chocolatey helps a bit. But then you get to the point where there is no automation for a start menu entry for some packages. It’s a bit of a mess.
A colleague installed Python from the MS Store on Windows 11 it messed up all python software, PyCharm, the other python versions and some file associations. Quite a mess.

That resistor was chosen so that it always ran hot and failed after about 3 years of normal use. I put in a bigger one with the same resistance that stays cold and now have the TV for 5 years.
Joe Cool@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•EVs Could Last Nearly Forever—If Car Companies Let ThemEnglish5·1 year agoCan confirm. Use a fridge from 1974. 2 years ago thermostat failed. Replaced with digital one for $15. Now have a nice digital readout of the temps. Thing uses
180W100W when running, less than bigger newer ones.
It’s even more ecological to keep it running since it still has the nasty ozone layer killing coolant that would partly evaporate when trashing it.EDIT: 100W just checked the type plate.
Joe Cool@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•EVs Could Last Nearly Forever—If Car Companies Let ThemEnglish2·1 year agoYou can still do that. They’re called body repair panels. They are usually plain metal. You have to cut out the old, weld in the new, grind them flat, prime and paint them. This isn’t cost efficient if your car is worth less than the paint you’d need. The parts usually are around $100-$300 bucks (if you don’t need OEM parts) but the labor is expensive. And if you do it for cheap it will look like crap.
Joe Cool@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's backEnglish2·1 year agovpn with network manager is amazing. All my client’s vpn solutions just work. On windows I needed 5-6 different vpn clients that bluescreen each other on Linux I need zero proprietary software.
Joe Cool@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's backEnglish81·1 year agoGet everything: https://www.voidtools.com/ (the alpha version can also index the content of files). It’s search is instant. As in < 1 second for any file on any of your harddisks (even ones not connected right now).
For base linux cmdline tools I just install Git for Windows it includes tail, sed, grep, tee, iconv, less, scp and tons more. I need git anyways so win-win.
Joe Cool@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI NightmareEnglish5·1 year agoThis I would actually want to see.
I would so laugh when their most of their profits go to EU Antitrust Fines.
Or they pull an Apple and only EU device owners get to choose their own browser.
Joe Cool@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Alex Jones says Infowars could be shut down within hours41·1 year agoI’d guess the gay frogs told him.
Like Chrome Firefox has an internal Task manager at: about:processes
You could try opening it in a second window. It might show you what causes the hang. There is also: about:memory to see where the RAM went. It’s a bit more technical though.
They also whip each other with shrubbery in the sauna. (or so I’ve heard)
Joe Cool@lemmy.mlto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•What it's like to be a developer in 20248·1 year agoWhile I don’t miss checking the index of my wall of Microsoft books (the light gray binders with the squishy plastic). At least those were (mostly1) correct and ad free.
Then the future began and you got MSDN subscription on CD with sample code. Woohoo.
- they included a somewhat 20 pages of erratas that you sooner or later managed to memorize or punch and put in the correct place.
Darnold told deputies that he walked into the convenience store and bought cigarettes. When he walked out, Aryafar asked him for a “smoke.” Darnold offered him a cigarette, but Aryafar allegedly wanted weed.
When he said he didn’t have any to sell, the two said expletives to one another and moved on.
Moments later, Amir allegedly walked toward the car Dardnold was in. He got out of the vehicle, punched Aryafar once, which knocked him down, and then got back in the car with his girlfriend and drove off.That story of Dar(d)nold and Ayafar has somehow more typos than the shitpost. At least it isn’t AI.
Oh there is policy, telemetry and lockdown software for Linux. My BYOD archlinux worked fine until a company I contract for rolled out their zero trust bollocks. They wanted me to install Ubuntu, Redhat or SLES and their spyware.
They now sent me a corporate Win11 laptop for remote access.
