Microsoft always treated linux and foss with such disdain while under Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. Their current CEO is an outlier, openly embracing and extending foss and linux. After years of abuses from Gates and Ballmer, many people in the linux community won’t be so quick to trust them.

Big corps love A/B testing, slow rollouts and geo-restricted features. You might be in a different group than people that get all these ads.

Just turn off “show scores” in your profile and you’ll be happier. It’s a meaningless number anyway.

I highly doubt phone companies would astroturf on lemmy though.

You’ll be able to lock the screen of your phone with just your phone number and a quick security challenge using any device. This buys you time to recover your account details and access additional helpful options in Find My Device, including sending a full factory reset command to completely wipe the device.

Does this mean I can troll my friends by locking their phone while they’re using their phone?

Preact is actually usable without build tools. It can be loaded like the good ol’ jQuery in modern browsers.

The key to make those cheap drives last a bit longer is by keeping as much free space as possible. For extra shitty drives, just leave half of its space alone (though they might die on their own no matter what you do).

Those are probably the quick-thinker types. I wonder if people with inner voices take longer when making decision because they have to “listen” to the their inner voices.

Maybe in the US, but in Asia, a huge portion of sales for Honda, Toyota and Suzuki are for their modified kei cars. Even so, they still don’t seem interested in releasing their electric models there. This gap is currently filled by Chinese EV manufacturers.

They sell slightly modified kei cars in other countries, but not these electric models.

Japanese car manufacturers actually sell a lot of EVs… in Japan. They don’t seem to be interested in selling those mini EVs abroad.

Sales is up compared to last year but still doesn’t meet target? Hmm… this infinite growth thing is harder than I though.

Which EV brands? Those Chinese EVs aren’t created equal, the good ones are great for its price, while the bad one should be named and shamed.

Are they still doing the EV credit thing?

Subsidy definitely helps, but those Chinese car manufacturers are able to squeeze their parts suppliers hard, so they’re able to sell their cars cheaper even without subsidy. For example, their gasoline cars are about half the price of comparable Japanese models, even with engines sourced from GM/Ford.

Imagine donating your body to science and the scientists slice your brain and scan them, then decades later you suddenly wake up in a virtual space because the scientists are finally able to emulate a copy of your brain in a supercomputer.

Thanks to Unicode, 𝓱𝓾𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓻2 is a very strong password now.

Yes, use the SSSL (hackles) setup: https://pretendo.network/docs/install/wiiu#sssl

This doesn’t require homebrew, all you need is changing the DNS address on the WiiU from the system setting.

The Bolt isn’t cheap though (almost 2x of Honda Fit price), and wasn’t produced in sufficient quantity. The Chinese EV companies are somehow able to produce entry level EV models with minimal features at a price cheaper than Honda Fit and they’re selling like hot cakes both domestically and in neighboring Asian countries.

companies of the modern era have to justify their existence not just with success, but growth, and Microsoft’s been struggling to do that

“The last year or so in videogames,” says Bond, “largely the industry’s been flat … [we saw some] tremendously groundbreaking games, but the growth didn’t follow all that.”

Whelp, now that everyone went back to work and not stuck at home anymore, it’s actually amazing that the video game industry is still flat, but apparently that’s not enough. Probably nothing can top covid19 effect to game industry anytime soon, unless they have another virus in the work /s
