Gesamtmetall-Chef fordert Rente ab 70 für Bürojobs
  • Weiß jetzt nicht wies mit der körperlichen Fitness wirklich aussieht, aber für die geistige Fitness ists definitiv besser als nur daheim zu hocken. Wenn man natürlich anderweitig beschäftigt ist (Gemeinde, Familie, Vereine), hat das den gleichen Effekt. Ich seh halt bei uns die (Früh-)Rentner teilweise daheim langsam psychisch vergammeln.

  • CrowdStrike legt weltweit Windows lahm
  • Nur weil man privat mit Windows defender und einer basic Firewall auskommt, heißt das noch lange nicht, dass große Firmen das auch tun. Noch dazu hat Linux im Bereich Cybersecurity quasi keinen Unterschied zu Windows. Privat kann man sich den Antivirus sparen weil:

    1. die Nutzerbasis zu klein ist/war
    2. Linux Anwendungen normalerweise aus bekannten Repositories kommen
    3. die Nutzer sich mit Technik auskennen und selbst als Antivirus fungieren

    Als größere Firma (vor allem Banken und kritische Infrastruktur) muss man permanent mit Angriffen von außen und innen rechnen. Ne einfache Firewall hilft dir da nicht mal gegen nen basic DDoS Angriff.

    Klar kann man viel abdecken durch einfache Mittel wie gut gemanagte Zugriffrechte und das Sperren von USB ports, aber das schützt halt hauptsächlich vor der Dummheit/Unwissenheit der eigenen Mitarbeiter.

    Das soll auch nicht heißen, dass alles in so einem Software Packet relevant ist, da ist sicherlich auch viel unnützer Müll dabei. Aber ganz ohne IPSec Tools kommt man nicht weit.

  • How come Android doesn't have a built in PDF viewer?
  • Apple is a bit like Microsoft in that regard. Their browser (safari) is so tightly integrated into their operating system that removing it is basically impossible. Due to that, they can use/abuse it for basic functionality like a pdf reader instead of creating a separate app for it.

    Android, on the other hand, doesn't even have a real default browser. While Chrome ships as the default since android 4, it's basically just the app tacked on top. Since PDF readers on android existed before Chrome became the default, Google was never really bothered with including a build in PDF reader in their browser. It simply wasn't necessary. And since most browser depend on chromium, which lacks this functionality, they don't have it either.

    Firefox on Android has the option to open PDFs, so if you want it, that would be an option. It isn't a limitation of the operating system, Google simply couldn't be bothered and most others just use copy + past on Chrome.

  • Google and Microsoft consume more energy than 100+ countries | Windows Central
  • And both of these companies build and purchased more renewable energy sources than all 100+ countries combined. Microsoft has committed to be carbon free by 2030, and while I don't belive in their commitment, they at least seem to be trying contrary to most nations. They even invested in nuclear plants for their power needs.

    You can fault both companies for a lot of different reasons, but in terms of carbon emissions due to power usage, they are better than 99.9% of the countries on that list.

  • Google and Microsoft consume more power than some countries
  • Google builds entire datacenters with their own transformers and power lines, if not their own powerplants. You plug these datacenters directly into the high voltage networks that don't have big capacity problems.

    The low voltage grids in residential areas on the other hand were build as cheap as possible, so increasing the load by 20% is already too much for most of them.

  • Opera says the EU Commission's DMA regulation grip should extend to Microsoft Edge’s 'privileged' position on Windows devices to foster fair competition
  • And what can there be done against it?

    Chromium is already an open source project that no one is obligated to use in any way. You can't ban Google from developing their own project and you can't ban others from using the established codebase for their own browser.

  • Studying nahh
  • That has nothing to do with age. Most people nowadays are so used to instant gratification that they struggle with stuff that only helps them in the long term, me included. Last time I tried to seriously sit down and learn I caught myself doing dishes and watering plants after not even 30mins.

  • Firefox added ad tracking and has already turned it on without asking you
  • Let's be honest, opt in telemetry features will collect so little data they might es well not exist.

    Considering that ot is supposed to reduce user tracking by tracking ads directly, it's a net gain for everyone.

  • TIL SimpeLogin has limits for how many accounts you can make for a single site
  • Or have a public social media account and a 'business' one I use to share my own music or something? My dual-boxing MMO accounts?

    Wanna bet that you are already breaking TOS with both of these things? And I don't mean SimpleLogins TOS, but the one of the social media platform and MMO. Most big platforms only allow one account per user, no matter how the account is used. Sometimes you can create a business account, but that's still linked to your private one. Same goes for pretty much any online game, you are limited to one account per person.

    I don't think that there is any sense behind these limitations, but simplelogin isn't concerned about that, they only care about the legality of your actions and limit their service accordingly.

  • Locked
    Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour
  • They get that same location data with or without maps. As long as you are using stock android, Google knows exactly where you've been even if you enable airplane mode. They get your position with WiFi networks and other phones around you and store that data with timestamps. Maps doesn't give them any extra data, it simply binds you into their ecosystem.

  • Anon doesn't like simps
  • They struggle with finding a good/the right man to keep long term, but simply getting a date takes half an hour on tinder while they can choose between 50+ guys in their immediate neighbourhood.

    And this isn't even purely my imagination, it's annecdotal from things my sister pulled off.

  • PC gaming is mainstream. Now what?
  • You are definetly in a bubble, even if its a pretty big one. Owning a pc is pretty much a prerequisite for going into comp-science or working in IT.

    Out of all the 30 odd people I know of at my workplace, one other apart from me has a gaming pc, and two others have consoles. The rest doesn't play any games at all.

  • In what scenario is conscription acceptable? (if any)
  • As a general rule, the goal is simply to assume control over the government, as is the case in Ukraine.

    Yeah no, that's just plain wrong. Russia, at the very least, is committing cultural genocide if not much worse. Ukrainian families get broken up so their kids can be better indoctrinated.

  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.
  • Nuclear is the worst possible option to fill said gaps. Nuclear reactor need to run at a mostly stable output permanently, they are slow to react to changes and can't be switched on or off at will.

    You could use them to generate a stable base power level, but that's the opposite of what we need. It wouldn't change anything regarding the need of energy storage.

    The best option currently as a gap filler is gas cause it can be turned on or off in minutes when needed.

    Not keeping up with demand is a self-made problem. Multiple EU countries already have multiple days a year where they use 100% renewables.

  • Pity, really.
  • Tbh, that's something I can totally understand. Some programs use very obscure savefile locations, usually hidden behind 10 subfolders somewhere under your documents.
