That’d make them even more of a niche option than right now, since some apps (most notably banking) will just refuse to work.

And they claim “zero vendor lock-in”.
Exporting your content from whatever weird format they’re using in the DB isn’t exactly making the switch easy.
And some were not even translated at all.
Really smart move from the manga industry.
What are they even trying to achieve here?
It’s not like there isn’t a bunch of other websites hosting the same stuff…
Oh, great. The best part is that for some of these publishers there’s literally no legal way to read their manga online.
Unless you think Japan and USA are the only 2 countries in the world, I guess…
Simple auth was honestly one of the upsides for me.
Plex claims to have an offline mode, but I could never got it to work, for some reason.
And I got pissed off one too many times when my Internet went down and I couldn’t watch anything from the NAS a few meters away…
What’s better, exactly?
I switched years ago from Plex to Jellyfin, and while the UI wasn’t quite as nice, everything else is better.
And I don’t have to pay to use HW transcoding on my own hardware…
Man, deep packet inspection is some crazy stuff.
Good implementation can identify the type of traffic within seconds with scarily good accuracy.
Quite a few countries actually implement this in their national ISP’s infrastructure to block VPNs, so the citizens can’t access non-approved websites.
$3 ink from a bodega
That’s actually a fair price for 3rd party replacement.
I used to work at a computer shop, and people only ever bought the cheapest available cartridges.
We also used to do printer repair, do you know how many printers had to come in because of shitty ink?
The answer is zero.
And anyway, in your example the printer manufacturer has no business tracking your ink usage, whether it’s by spying on you and phoning home, or recording this info in the printer’s memory.
It wouldn’t.
USA tried to keep the encryption all to itself in the past by classifying it as munitions, it didn’t work out.
And criminals don’t care if encryption is banned anyway.
That’s a very charitable way of looking at DRM.
Company’s PR dept saying “we didn’t do it” is not proof of anything.
If they’re not blocking 3rd party cartridges, why even implement DRM?
Do they have so much extra money that they’re developing features they’re not planning to use just because they’re bored?
That’s an optimistic view.
But really, that’s just Google being Google.
Even years before the “AI” hype their Assistant kept suddenly losing features that worked perfectly fine before.
I’d like that to be “new”, but… It’s not exactly the first time this exact thing happened in tech.
Thanks for the link.
Looks like not really closed-source, but not fully open as the previous printers were.
And the reasoning is the usual, other companies stealing their designs. :/
What is that even supposed to mean?
Aren’t you confusing them with Bambu?
Their slicer is based on Prusa’s exactly because Prusa isn’t doing closed source.
Thank you for being one person in this thread that actually read and understood my comment.
A bunch of comments repeating “Signal is the most secure because I said so” was not helpful.
Sure, buddy.
Maybe you should read the comments you’re replying to first.
If you can’t do that much then maybe you just shouldn’t comment at all.
I’ll simplify it for you:
Discussion quality on Lemmy starts looking like Reddit now.
Almost feels like home…
OK, and how is that different from the other chats?
You do know that at least Signal and Matrix use pretty much the same crypto, right?
And Matrix can be self-hosted, so I don’t need to worry about what they can see anyway.
On this point alone Matrix appears more secure than Signal…
And Threema is Switzerland-based, so by default it’s more trustful than a USA-based company.
And, like I said, that’s a niche.
I’d love to use GrapheneOS myself, but unfortunately too many apps I need won’t work on it.
