[PROJECT] 4get is a proxy search engine that doesn't suck
  • What is the point of all these proxy search engines if they rely on the centralized servers' indexes anyways?

    Correction: it's not even the indexes it's the results. So really you still have no control over things such as the pageranking.

  • Beginner questions about ZFS and how to use my drives.
  • Make sure you understand volume block size before you start using it. It has a big impact on compression, performance and even disk utilization. In certain configurations you may be surprised to find out as much as 25% of your disk space (in addition to parity) is effectively gone and it is untrivial to change the block size after the fact.

  • Disney+ has started cracking down on password sharing in the US
  • You have to realize you are in a minority of people who know computers and have the knowhow to find high quality pirated content. Many go for easy sites like fmovies but those are riddled with ads and the files themselves are often not the best quality. But most don't even know about those. In fact most people don't even use a computer to consume their media and are reliant on streaming apps.

  • Autorefresh on Android
  • This ended up becoming a big issue with my OP7Pro where it would very aggressively kill apps causing them to constantly need to reload which would cost a lot of battery. My Pixel 7 does none of that and Firefox works great.

  • NIST Warns of Security and Privacy Risks from Rapid AI System Deployment
  • We aren't allowing it.

    No doubt that AI which is used for Level 5 autonomy should be trained to detect these situations and make the correct decision. Otherwise they wouldn't be Level 5 systems. This is one of the many reasons why self-driving cars is not a solved issue yet. The systems we use today are either used strictly as a driving aid under close supervision by a human driver or used in small areas that the AI has been already evaluated to perform well in.

  • YouTube demonetizes public domain 'Steamboat Willie' video after copyright claim
  • The thing about public domain is that anyone can do whatever they want. Youtube is still providing a service by providing storage, cpu and network to be able to stream the video and they are within their rights to charge for that service one way or another. Of course anyone can also offer that same service for free as it's public domain.

  • Scaled and controversial sort?

    With Lemmy 0.19 there are new scaled and controversial sort options, but I don't see them in the app. Is there an update coming soon to support these?

    edit: it seems like it gets selected when it's the default sort option for the logged in user. There's just no way to select it in the UI.

    Just wondering if anyone else has learned the Thumb-key keyboard well and could share their typing speed?

    I have been using the TypeSplit layout for a few weeks now and get over 50-55 wpm with it consistently. I'm still learning it though so I'm expecting to see over 60 wpm soon.

    Android Doze Tweaks

    Found this very interesting article about how Android's Doze Mode really works and how you can tweak the settings. For example how you can make doze mode ignore the motion sensor.

    FSR 3 frame generation in MSFS

    Has anyone been able to test this yet? What was your experience like?

    I was able to test it on my 7900XT, but I'm not sure if it was working right. It was definitely enabled as the frame counter in Adrenalin showed double FPS. But that was only until I moved the camera and the FPS would return to non-framegen baseline until I stopped moving it again which kind of defeats the purpose.

    How has the battery life and performance been so far and have you noticed any bugs?

    Står heller farlig og ulovlig enn å betale for parkering på flyplassen
    www.nrk.no Står heller farlig og ulovlig enn å betale for parkering på flyplassen

    Ulykker og trafikkfarlige situasjoner stopper ikke bilistene fra å parkere ulovlig langs E16. Natt til fredag haglet bøtene fra politiet.

    Fulle linjer: Her er det ikke plass til flere tog
    www.nrk.no Fulle linjer: Her er det ikke plass til flere tog

    Bane Nor må si nei til selskaper som vil kjøre mer tog. Årsaken er at stadig flere togstrekninger her til lands rett og slett er fulle.
