Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies
  • Its simple like many Musk projects he over promises and under delivers.

    Starlink performance is slow and unreliable. Sometimes you get 100 Mbps and sometimes you get < 1 Mbps with the average being around 25. So it cant even really be considered broadband.

  • Fairphone has created a smartphone that owners can repair themselves - This sustainable smartphone aims to reduce global electronic waste
  • This is total green washing marketing bs.

    They purposely removed the headphone jack and started selling disposable earbuds. This one move alone will generate more ewaste than any swappable parts.

    This company is full of it. They don't care about the environment and they certainly don't care about their customers.

  • Xiaomi won't give Android updates if you unlock your bootloader
  • How do you figure? The actual article states that only Chinese users with a certain post rating on their forums will be eligible to apply for an unlock of their phones.

    Users outside of China will not be able to unlock at all.

    This changed everything!

    Why is Lemmy getting toxic?
  • Because most of the largest instances had open signups with no email confirmations.

    Lemmy is overrun with bots, You think you are talking to people but you are talking to bots.

    Its especially bad for native ads. "Users" take every opportunity to tell you about how they are a proud paying customer of tailscale or Kaji or Proton etc. None of this is real.

  • Apple's called Android a "massive tracking device" in an internal presentation
  • I mean android is an open source system. You have the ability, if you want to not install any proprietary Google software. You have the ability to gain admin access to the device and inspect, modify, extend, develop all of the code running on your phone.

    You do not have this ability with any Apple or any other closed source, blackbox system and in fact you have absolutely no idea what it is actually doing. Apple is orders of magnitude worse in this respect.

    An android phone can be turned into a powerful tool of user empowerment. Apple products on the other hand are simply content delivery devices. If Apple wants to show you an ad, record every tap, track your eye movements, scan your files etc. there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. You are using their product and only exactly in the way Apply will allow, not one byte more.

  • What is a nutritious, filling, and easy to eat breakfast for really early in the morning?
  • A bowl of frozen fruit (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries) + a banana and milk. The milk partially thaws the berries after around 10 minutes.

    As breakfast is the most dangerous meal of the day, the sugar from berries is bound to their fiber which makes them low on the glycemic index and don't spike your insulin level as high as the refined carbs a lot or people eat for breakfast such as cereals and grains.

  • Star Trek: DS9 Was "Never Going To Go Into A Movie" Says Kira Actor
  • It was just such a waste they could have created an entire show or even an entire franchise our of this concept, really quality awe inspiring sci-fi, instead they just waste it. I'm guessing the guy who was writing this quit and they hired an intern to take over.

  • Star Trek: DS9 Was "Never Going To Go Into A Movie" Says Kira Actor
  • The worst for me was the episode where Tom Paris breaks the trans warp threshold and becomes an omnipresent god and starts evolving 1000 years a minute.

    Janeway realizes it and says- this will change our very existence. Wow! but instead of exploring this they turn him and Janeway into giant lizards then in the last few minutes the doctor just magically changes then back- The end.

    WTF, such a waste. There must have been a writers strike that year.
