It’s time for Americans to embrace small cars
  • 400 miles doesn't get you halfway across a single state in the western US.

  • All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU
  • Well if you broaden the definition that much, then it sounds like iPhone batteries are already user replaceable since I can easily purchase the necessary tools from iFixIt.

  • All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU
  • If that's really the definition, it's an awful definition and exactly why we shouldn't regulate stuff like this. Torx are objectively better than Philips or flathead in every possible way.

  • Best router for home use?
  • Another vote for Synology here. I have 2 RT2600 and 1 RT1600 between myself and my parents houses. They have been completely bullet proof and the oldest one is going on 7 years old now.

  • getting logged out of sites regularly?
  • I have have this problem as well and it seems to be getting steadily worse. I feel like it must be q bug, but haven't looked in to it much.

  • Satellites Are Rife With Basic Security Flaws
  • Are you speaking from first hand experience? I don't have experience with commercial satellites, but I can say from direct experience that scientific satellites and other spacecraft absolutely run a (real-time) traditional OS these days (and even a decade ago). That said, we do take serious measures to secure our vehicles. I don't think I want to say any more than that given the nature of the discussion.

  • πŸ‹ LemMon - Lemmy Monitor - Servers Status
  • I think you're underestimating the number of requests that a server can handle. Even my tiny instance currently sees dozens of requests every second and is very lightly loaded. A single request per minute is an immeasurably small load.

  • Youtube added shorts to the subscriptions page, pushing the subscriptions almost entirely off the page...
  • This used to work. The latest block of shorts that they added in the subscriptions page that is not removable.

  • Reddit Official App: "I am able to take mod actions on a sub I'm not a mod in."
  • If I read the announcement correctly, that is implemented by a bot with mod privileges that parses comments and takes actions on users' behalf. I don't think it's practical to literally make every user a moderator.

  • How are comments federated?
  • AFAIK, you can't load comments on posts manually. You only get comments that are pushed to your instance after someone has subscribed to the community containing the post.

  • Lemmy.world active users is tapering off while other servers are gaining serious traction.
  • The theis here does not really appear to be correct. Comparing MAU here, lemmy.world's MAU is flatter than the entire Lemmy platform's, implying that other platforms are seeing users drop off at a faster rate.

  • Lemmy.world active users is tapering off while other servers are gaining serious traction.
  • There are a number of tools that monitor the fediverse. Here's one. The thesis does not appear to be correct though. As lemmy.world's monthly active users is stabalizing, Lemmy as a whole is declining.

  • Firefox now has speed parity with Chrome on the Speedometer benchmark
  • Same for me. Since I switched to Firebird/Firefox, no other browser has given me a reason to seriously consider switching.

  • GM ditching CarPlay could go bad, complain car dealers
  • The radio means almost nothing to me. The ability to have my choice of mapping app on the dash is 90% of the value and absolutely indispensable.

  • Lemmy just had its first major hack. What happens next:
  • I agree. Sadly it seems the rest of the world does not. Hopefully as Lemmy matures we can get to a point where features are not pushed put half-baked because there aren't enough people willing and able to give thorough code reviews.

  • GM ditching CarPlay could go bad, complain car dealers
  • So says literally everyone I have ever seen comment on the matter. Seriously, is there anyone out there that has tried CarPlay/AndroidAuto and said "eh, I don't see the point"?

  • GM ditching CarPlay could go bad, complain car dealers
  • Especially when you're GM. It's already an extreme longshot that I was ever going to buy another GM car, but this is 100% the final nail in the coffin.

  • Why do people host Lemmy instances and how do they pay for them?
  • $3.33/month? I too would like to know who your VPS provider is.

  • What's your favorite Cyberpunk work

    Be it book, film or any other medium, share your favorite works of the genre (and why it's your favorite!)
