I agree, having lived through the old plastic covered LCD screens it would be nearly impossible to convince me to give up my gloriously durable tempered glass.

For some it stems from living through the early years of smartphones with single core CPUs, only enough RAM to keep one app open at a time, and interactions that were a complete choppy laggy mess.
Back then every new (non-budget) phone upgrade was a ridiculously big jump in performance. If you lived through that era it became a somewhat normal thing to do every couple of years assuming you had the means. I think many phone buyers today are still repeating that old behavior of thinking “OMG I can’t wait to use the next model that will be 5x better than this old one” but truly those days are long gone.
Now we look forward to only slightly (single digit percentage) increases in performance. And most new features get back ported to older models so you don’t even have a software reason to upgrade unless your model is no longer supported.
Is it not customary to have a drink with your meals?

Canada@lemmy.ca•Hidden cameras show some stores unlocking speed limits on e-bikes, selling e-scooters that go up to 120 km/h | CBC News
8·1 month agoWhy not just classify them as mopeds? Mopeds have been around for ages, started out as motorized bicycles, are limited to around 28mph, and have standard age, and license requirements. You have to get a license, and plates. I think there is an insurance requirement also.
I feel like applying all the same guidelines to e-bikes would go a long way to resolve the chaos they have been causing.
Obviously there would need to be some new parameters around what exactly qualifies and all that.
Or short with adequate pressure.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•The Nightmare of Migrating from Lightroom CC to Immich [Adobe doesn't make it easy]English
2·2 months agoI use it and it works great for me. My use case is I have several users which backup our mobile phones into Immich. Then I created an additional “user” that is more like a service account. Under this extra account I have it set to scan an external path which I a drive where we upload everything from a DSLR camera. Then I share this users library with my main account so I can browse our DSLR images while on the go through Immich.

I will say that the web portal is a bit confusing but once you set it up you basically never need to go there again.

I agree with you but also about 90% of watching on my instance happens on smart TV’s. So even though I would like to have oidc supported for the occasional phone/pc user I would still need something basic that a TV can use.
That’s when I just put the airflow on “feet”. Most cars will actually blow like 30% up on the windshield when set to the feet direction. This lets me avoid running the a/c if I don’t want to.
Yes! It’s great to see some Community content pop up
I sometimes wonder if I made the right decision by only watching GoT through season 7. Then I get reminded to just appreciate what I got 🤣
Is Dunk and Egg good? I saw season 1 on disc at Walmart the other day to learn that it exists.

4·2 months agoI’m in the US and my ISP gives everyone CGNAT by default. On the lower tier plans, we have the option to buy a semi-static IP for an extra fee. The higher tier plans include the semi-static IP for free upon request.
I have also been talking with them about IPv6. They will only grant customers a /64 prefix because their pool of v6 addresses is so small, they would run out of their allocation if they granted customers a /60.
By only giving customers a single /64 I cannot implement v6 on my VLANs. This is incredibly frustrating considering v6 has like so many addresses it’s not even like a number most people know. Like a trillion trillion or whatever. And you’re telling me I can only have one (subnet)?

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Almost 38 & This Is Where I'm At Now
1·2 months agoOff topic but out of curiosity, how many people actually work in a data center? I’ve always wanted to work in one but got the impression that there are only a small number of people, maybe a dozen or so, dedicated to keeping the hardware running.
But hearing how it’s affected you makes me think it might not be the best choice for me. I worked from home for about 5 years up to and during COVID, and honestly can relate to feeling less comfortable in social situations after a while. I think the first year or so I was fine and then started to notice the decline of actually wanting to interact with other people.

Technology@lemmy.world•Why Normal People Aren’t Using AI AgentsEnglish
8·3 months agoThere was some research recently that showed the same thing. People who are “dug in” on a topic, usually a political topic, will shut down when a person tries to persuade them of an alternative, but are much more open to hear the same arguments from AI and actually reconsider their position.
I believe this is a big reason why X-Ai was so important for conservatives to get off of the ground, they were afraid all the crazy would start wearing off if people asked the “woke” models for the truth.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux desktop use spikes to over 10% in North America for the first time. There is also a corresponding drop in Windows and OSX use.
6·3 months agoThe recent Hardware Haven video I think was better that the LTT videos. That dude does a great job presenting some pros and cons and is much more level headed in his approach.
But I agree that the big names in YT is doing a good thing showing people it’s not too hard to switch, Especially if you have a spare SSD so you can keep your Windows install just in case.
