They just hate the fact that there's a group of foreigners enjoy their free time.
Start to play soccer, you'll see how their brain will short circuit because they can't ban their favorite sport
I Lost tons of data thanks to windows fast boot flushing back the old fat after rebooting to windows. Never anymore. Linux can write to NTFS , it's much more reliable. Plus the default block size for exfat (when formatted from Windows) is huge
Sorry I didn't notice from which instance you were posting!! I was unaware of the permanent brain damage.
Yes I can see clearly in modern China how much communist is the land distribution. I personally saw the peasants living in the luxurious apartments of the Pudong skyscrapers, together and in harmony.
Sure buddy drink more Kool aid
That’s what it’s called by the CCP and their partners
Outside of sports events where money is more important than ethics, "Chinese Taipei" isn't really ok to say
It's like saying "Russian Odessa"
Main issue with that solution is that I would never give any money to the KSA to watch the Riyadh season. Or even watch it for free. They can sportwash by themselves
Because usually those are masquerading as legitimate apps.
Real example: Google allows "Muhammad mahmood ali" from Pakistan to run fake ads pretending to be a more famous corporation (flagged, google replied that this individual isn't breaking the TOS somehow, flagged again, the bot replied that yes, that phishing page doesn't break AdWords TOS - probably the scammers are serving different content according to the IP address)
When someone searches for "dji app", they get an ad that looks legitimate and goes to a fake landing page where they say to download and install this apk, showing a fake "100% safe and trusted" logo.
So, they can't say the list of the infected apps, because the real apps aren't affected. Someone could have been tricked by a fake ad to install an infected version of "bank of America" but the real app is clean
It's signed by Mozilla (extremely unlikely that's a virus unless they got hacked) and it's detected as trojan only by "max secure", a questionable snake oil product that is like a broken clock, correct only twice a day
Conclusion: it's safe
I made something crude with python and flask, but it's only to print address labels, always the same settings (paper size and so on)
So i just put a textbox, press the button and it prints there.
When printing generic stuff, you would need to set paper type, paper size, color or BW, if have both sides printed, if printing from a specific tray, then some kind of user authentication (i am lazy and i didn't care about privacy so i used cloudflare access), so the complexity becomes much bigger.
Before making my crude script I searched long time for a free or cheap solution, but I didn't find. If you find, let me know
It's the same for the United States and their secret no fly list
Watched that company. They make cheap ad filled copycat games. They can't be bothered to spend one day on filtering the words from the free dictionary that they used. Same for the support email, they are too busy counting the ad money, there's nobody reading them
You call the restaurant and explain the reason, they would be super happy to mark as cancelled on Yelp, but still keep booked on their system: Yelp is not giving this service for free, but they charge a lot of money on each single reservation.
And hopefully realize to stop offering the service at all
I feel like it is the 0.1% of cases, as anyway they're still required to do KYC procedures
Yes and no, the user is still forced to transfer that immediately (with additional expensive fees) to their wallet as the paper receipt is printed on that thermal paper that deteriorates in a few days - not something you do for convenience, it's something you do for extreme urgency like need to pay hackers a ransomware decryption fee or other phone scammers
yes, but in that case you use your wallet or a crypto exchange, because the Bitcoin ATM fees (usually 15% + couple dollars fixed fee) negate this use case.
My mom needed $5 and then i send them by spending $5 in transaction fees and $5 in ATM fees.
For this use case you would save money with a western union or similar
I can't think of any kind of legit use of a Bitcoin ATM
I see huge potential in helping laundering cash or transferring money to scammers, but otherwise?
In our country the national do not call registry is fake.
We are so smart that we gave the management of it to a "non profit" foundation that charges legal call centers millions of euros. It's 10000x cheaper to ignore the law and call people illegally from abroad. If get caught (very hard as numbers are spoofed, not illegal to spoof a number) pay the slap on the wrist and continue operating illegally
Several mobile ports of Resident Evil games now require an internet connection when starting the app.
Many users bought Resident evil for iOS because it was working offline. Perfect for long trips. But a new update adds a mandatory DRM online check at start-up.
I wrote bought, but actually the word is rented. One day Capcom stops updating the games (and this is 100% guaranteed) and a few years later the "owner" gets "This app needs to be updated to run on this iPhone"
Meanwhile, people who pirated a cracked ipa, don't get any issue in playing the game offline. DRM exclusively hurts the paying customers.
A lawsuit alleges that Jason Keats, the founder of OSOM, has misused company funds to buy sports cars and fund his lavish lifestyle.
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
"This forces us to build a new economy in severe conditions."
The share is higher than you would expect because they include all apple devices in them because the apple soc is capable of running ai. Of course who's buying a MacBook it's not doing it because "it's an AI PC". Should have included all gaming PCs then...
The report says Lenovo ai PC shipments went up 228% last quarter. Uh... They put on sale their copilot+ devices on the last week of Q2, then of course at the end of Q3 you have such high percentage. They could have said "10000000000000000000000% yoy increase"
No, it's not phishing, it's legit, the header match with google and the link goes to https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser/signinchooser?continue=https%3A%2F%2Fadmin.google.com%2Fac%2Fac%2Falert%2Fdetails%3FalertId%3D3...
Why not just write the message there instead of letting me login to watch the important notification?????????????????
Apparently xitter saw an access from Russia (even if it's blocked by the government) and had no problem in giving full access to change immediately the password, disable 2fa and start scamming followers.
It seems an easy attack to fix IMHO: if access from Russia (or a country from the other part of the world) on a business account that always tweet from the same place, then deny access even with valid stolen session cookies
Can you notice that it's a bit leaning to the right?
One day many years ago I had too many drinks and being stupid and naive and I bought adobe cs5. I still use it on the same computer I installed it a decade ago. Activated and installed only once. Today they revoked the access to it. Clicking the link they say "revoked because purchased from an untrustworthy reseller"
Yeah... untrustworthy reseller, look at the invoice and see who sold&shipped that physical copy...
Contacted support, they said that they won't do anything about it because it's EOL.
Moral of the story: don't do like me. If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing. Never give your money to Adobe.
In the browser, i didn't login in the google account, and I didn't accept the cookies on that site. Using privacybadger that supposedly should block the 3rd party spyware like that
Wow, that's awesome! I was very sad without the clickbait articles. I was staring at Firefox thinking "i wish it had a cluttered start page with clickbait articles and sponsored content like MS Edge" - and then with this new update the devs nailed it! Thanks!
That's really perfect!
(it's a tablet in a smartphone form factor, it doesn't have cellular connectivity)
For reference, android 14 was announced 6 months before the launch of this device.
It's a bit surprising that Google still allows device certification with such ancient, unsupported and vulnerable OS.
All the marketing materials don't say which CPU it's using except "Qualcomm octa core CPU" - that means nothing as the description could apply to the Snapdragon 415, which was a low end slow system on a chip released ten years ago. Maybe it could explain why they're using an ancient version of Android - the soc that they're using it's a leftover found in some warehouse and it's already unsupported by the manufacturer; they're forced to use android 11.
In its services and repair terms and conditions, Google says it will keep devices sent in for repair if they have a non-OEM part.
"please don't buy our phones"
Samsung's catchy end-of-cycle jingle gets caught up in YouTube copyright drama.
TL;DR: for a whole decade YouTube allowed a copyright troll to claim all the rights on a recording of a washing machine end cycle chime
The account of the copyright troll is still standing and it's not permanently banned
IMHO in this case YouTube should permanently ban at the first offense any copyright troll that maliciously claim as their property something that's in the public domain
Also: if it wasn't that it affected a big streamer with lots of followers, YouTube would have ignored the problem
Google artificial "intelligence" suggested to add glue to let cheese stick to the pizza, because a decade ago user fucksmith on reddit said so
I have friends that send me tiktok links via whatsapp and then they ask questions about it like "what do you think, scam or not". I used to open them with cookies rejected in ddg browser but now it pretends to freeze after 4 seconds of play, then it says that i must open it in the app and replaces the "play" button with a fake button that leads to google play.
I assume that there's no way to watch it anymore without an account and without the app, right?
Note for Americans: here WhatsApp is the de facto communication standard. Literally nobody uses SMS/iMessage/Facebook messenger/signal. And carriers still charge 2 euro for a MMS which completely kills iMessage/RCS (if accidentally send MMS, it's expensive)
I switched phones and instead of copying manually /Android/data/media/com.whatsapp I used the new feature of pairing via qr code.
Besides that's a not very well designed feature (you need to start transfer on the old phone before logging in the new phone) because they really want to store unencrypted backups on Google drive, the transfer completed in a short time.
Maybe too fast, I was expecting at least one hour to transfer the 5000 photos 10gb, instead it completed in 20 seconds.
So I told myself, ok photos not transferred, I'll just do that manually and directly put them in the photo archive on my PC rather than keep them mixed with all the "happy holidays" trash.
I browse the old phone to /Android/data/media/com.whatsapp and... It's empty. Wiped clean after the "successful" transfer process!
Luckily I had set syncthing (the fork on fdroid, the one on play store doesn't have access to whole storage) to have a full overnight backup! On my PC I still had all the photos, almost deleted too as I noticed that I didn't set the "trash can" option
Conclusion: go to download syncthing fork from fdroid and have a safety net from mistakes like this
And of course they want a credit card on file for "age verification" 😉 or they won't let you chat with the bots
One of those two sites is distributing adware. Which of them?
File Converter (FOSS) by Adrien Allard was hosted on file-converter[.]org since a decade. Then someone a few weeks ago snatched that domain and it's now distributing adware. Almost identical design for the page, 100% designed to deceive users to download a different product, as it's called Zamzar.
And the label doesn't say anything about it, doesn't have the "don't throw in the trash" logo.
Those LEDs are glued in, there's no way to remove batteries before discarding the item
