It's like Gmail except it has a proper dark mode, an actually functional search feature, a functional and user-friendly mail filtering system, you can actually block senders, and also Google isn't reading all your emails...

The fact that they have any Fedi integration whatsoever is a mystery to me but I'm gonna say no regardless.

All of that data is public. Federating Threads gives them access to zero additional data.

A plaintiff in a civil suit can allege anything they want, but that doesn't mean they're being 100% truthful.

What do you mean!? Accusation = truth. Where did you go to school?

And then I remembered that Trump supporters exist. was elected President, impeached twice, served a full 4 years, staged a coup after he lost to try and forcibly overthrow the government, tried to have his VP hung by the neck, charged with I can't even keep track of how many crimes, convicted on 34 separate felony counts of falsified business records, but somehow is still on the ballot for re-election.

FTFY. Although I feel like I barely scratched the surface LOL

I don't think they were "defending" anyone. It was just a statement of fact.

Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough ( www.xda-developers.com )

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple's claim that...

I don't consider that an "admission" at all...

They don't "struggle". They are intentional and malicious decisions meant to drive revenue, as they have been since the beginning.

The Mac Studio uses a standard NVMe SSD but if you replace it with anything that you didn't buy from Apple with a 500%+ markup, the new drive simply won't work.

Honestly I have no qualms with MacOS. Probably the best OS. Problem is you can't run it on anything that is repairable or upgradeable, and in 7 years it won't be supported any longer. If they would just sell me a $500 lifetime license for MacOS that I could install on a Framework laptop, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. But they know they make way more money by not making that option available.

EVs are much heavier due to battery weight

That's not inherently true. It's most true for grossly oversized and inefficient EVs. Which is unfortunately most of what they build today.

I mean I dunno about you but where I live it gets really fucking hot. And sometimes it rains. So something with a cabin and air conditioning is mandatory. I'm a big fan of electric micro-cars.

Honestly it's pretty smart. There's nothing you can say in the modern age that won't be intentionally misrepresented, misquoted, or otherwise twisted. Plus there's really no defending stupid decisions like this. Same reason Apple almost never comments on anything that isn't marketing. They know they can't justify their bullshit.

Lead acid batteries are notoriously hard to predict when they will fail. Other OEMs also fail at this often.

Tesla upgraded to lithium 12V batts some time ago, which are much more predictable and last 2-3x longer.

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

What makes you think I was referring to the latch?

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

I was referring specifically to the failure to detect a dying 12V battery.

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Ok fine, what other manufacturer traps someone inside when the battery fails?

I don't know. I don't understand why you're asking me this.

you're up and down this post defending Tesla's boneheaded decisions.

I have been both both critical and supportive of Tesla, depending on the topic of discussion. It's called being objective.

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

It's not "skipping over" anything. I was not commenting on the door latches. I was commenting on a specific failure to do with the battery exclusively. I commented elsewhere that the latches a terrible and stupid design. Every car should have mechanical door latches, inside and out. If for no other reason than simplicity and reliability.

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Yes they are. I used to test them for a living. It's just a best guess.

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

No they aren't.

Yes. They are. If they weren't, no one would have these problems. But they all do. I know everyone likes to pour over them with a microscope and drool over their flaws because they're Tesla, but many of the issues commonly attributed to them are common with all other OEMs, you just have a bunch of armchair engineers who don't know WTF they're talking about.

They degrade before they fail.

No shit

If tesla wanted to provide a warning of a failing battery that pretty much always worked it could have wired in a load test and went off voltage drop under a heavier load.

Once again, I did this for a living, for a decade. We would constantly have cars with failed batteries, we would bring them in, charge them up, test them, they would pass, we'd send them on their way, and they would fail again, and come back for replacement. Our load tests also tested the alternator.

I worked on BMWs for years and they would regularly come in with the same problem, with no warning, even though they had a similar detection algorithm that mostly worked.

Apple’s App Store breaches EU’s Digital Markets Act ( techcrunch.com )

A few months after opening a non-compliance case on Apple and the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the European Commission has shared its preliminary findings with Apple. And the bottom line is that the current App Store rules are in breach of the DMA. Confirmed violations of the DMA can lead to fines of up to 10% of global annual...

Confirmed violations of the DMA can lead to fines of up to 10% of global annual turnover.

"Can"? So...is this confirmation? They're being fined, right?

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

I think for this to work and be respected, they need to give companies this period

I would say the opposite is true. Apple knows exactly what the EU wants and is doing everything within their power to maliciously comply. Giving them 12 months is nothing but a free pass to exploit consumers for another year. Then they'll continue doing it because the EU has proven that they won't actually do anything about it.

Lemmy is a failed Reddit alternative

I first joined Lemmy back during the big Reddit exodus of last year. I like many others wanted an alternative to Reddit, and I thought that this might've been the one. I made two accounts, one on lemmy.world and another on sh.itjust.works, in the June of last year that I used on and off for about 4 months....

Reddit didn't get to 73 million overnight. It took them decades. Lemmy only gets 1 year?

How do I get phone notifications from my server while I'm not connected to my home network?

Hey guys. Im running Home Assistant in docker container for few years and I'm super happy with it. The only way I access my server when not home is wireguard VPN. I noticed that I'm still receiving notifications even when not connected to VPN. I wonder how is that possible?...

helenslunch , (edited )
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

They don't store the notification they just relay it.

Yes they do

E: additional context

The data these two companies receive includes metadata, detailing which app received a notification and when, as well as the phone and associated Apple or Google account to which that notification was intended to be delivered. In certain instances, they also might also receive unencrypted content, which could range from backend directives for the app to the actual text displayed to a user in an app notification.

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

I don't see anything in that article that says that Google store the contents of the notification

Not sure how you think they hand over information they don't have?

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

My guy, how is it you think they are capturing and relaying data that they haven't stored?

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

I don't understand. How do you provide someone else with information you don't have?

They did it a long time ago. The funny part? Switch games run better when emulated on Linux than they do natively.
