  • Never a better time to switch to Jellyfin: Plex increases price of Lifetime Plex Pass to $749.99

    Jump

  • Do we know if Plex has been audited? Or is just that it is so much easier to do and Plex says it is secure so people think it is secure? That is often the case with closed source software.

  • Where to buy a non-Apple, non-Google smartphone

    Jump

  • Well their previous phones have been usable, but barely apparently. Every discussion with users, it is just riddled with bugs and doesn't function as a phone often times. Though cheaper Samsung's often also don't function as a phone either I guess.

    I thought about getting one for a while until a lot of users said they have to carry a second phone also, which defeats the purpose for me.

  • Recable.EU : sustainable USB cables, repairable, fair & handmade in Germany

    Jump

  • That is insanely quick, are you swinging it around by the cable or something?

    I got a 8-10€ Anker cable in 2018 and it finally broke after daily use in 2026.

  • Why aren't more people using Codeberg or something open source

    Jump

  • There is ambiguity in their ToS regarding commercial projects.

    They have said that they have to clear it up IIRC because they aren't against it, they just have to figure out what to officially allow and not or something.

    Gittea also for closed source/companies who don't want to host their own repos.

  • [Jeff Geerling] I'm never buying a Bambu Lab 3D printer again

    Jump

  • True, many many companies have solid works because they invest heavily in marketing to universities, but holy shit it is slow, horrible, buggy, and crashes a ton, but it has a good ecosystem with Altium for mechanical+ electrical design so companies get locked in. It is all about marketing.

    Creo (I think that was it) is really the way to go. Like FreeCAD, it is not very intuitive, but it can handle assemblies that would send solid works and inventor into the depths of error and lagging hell.

  • How big are these projects? It sounds like a nightmare to maintain or even finish!

  • It seems that you have only used Pre-1.0/1.1 FreeCAD from your description.

    I have done some pretty complex designs with it, but the topological naming problem was really bad then.

    It has improved greatly, has good defaults now, and I have yet to have any sort of crash at all and so far.

    Sure, not perfect, nor even "great" and without all of the quality of life tools as F360, but it also doesn't bend you over like F360 does. Development has sped up a ton in the past couple years too. I am hoping it is on par with what F360 was before enshittification in 5 years or so.

    Sadly, F360 has been spiraling downhill for a while. Everyone who uses it a lot (and especially professionally) is complaining how terribly slow and buggy it is and gets worse with every update. Apparently rampant memory leak crashes, calculation crashes, and skyrocketing prices.

  • Lithium deposit valued at over $1.5 trillion discovered in the U.S.

    Jump

  • They need about 30-50% more space that Lithium Ion, yes. Of course, people love to compare this even though lithium ion isn't used anyway for the same application because it only lasts for 500 charge cycles where first gen sodium already lasted for 3000.

    But in a country where data centers the size of major cities are being put everywhere, space is literally a non-issue.

    But that is comparing them to lithium ion and LiPo. They have a ton of advantages over lithium ion.

    They are really competing against lithium iron phosphate which are EV and grid storage batteries. There, the very first gen still has like 20% less density than them but 2nd gen batteries are looking at exactly thr same density as lithium iron phospate. Now they are both fire-safe (sodium even better) and the difference is essentially cost (big sodium win), temperature performance (big sodium win, and discharge rate (LiFePO win over first gen) because they both have very high battery life.

    The only reason sodium ion wasn't picking up (and I mean the only) is because lithium prices crashed and 90% of the companies developing it were startups, so of course the venture capitalist parasites rug pulled the funding because they are so incredibly short sighted that they can't stand not having immediate maximum profit (even though lithium prices will go back up eventually at a much, much, much faster rate than sodium and is significantly more harmful to mine)

  • There are so many people who are good at their jobs and have imposter syndrome. If anyone should have it, it is probably this person.

  • What is your policy on letting a child use the internet?

    Jump

  • Roblox has A LOT of pedophiles and child predators/abusers that groom kids. Like a lot, one of the worst on the internet. It has been brought to the company's attention thousands of times and they outright say they don't care.

    Not only that, roblox doubled down on supporting pedophiles and actively bans "vigilantes" that try to unmask them or report them to authorities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5PTomkX1gU

  • Isn't this how us kids in the 1990's and 2000s grew up? (Minus the phone because we didn't have them, or just a flip phone)

    Calling it draconian to not be able to stay up all night on the internet sounds kind of like an iPad kid as a teenager lol

  • There is a difference between a planned child with a support system behind them helping and an unplanned teen pregnancy where the mother and father are unfit to take care of a human child and the grandparents have to take on a parent role almost full time while the teens finish school (as an example).

  • Just a reminder you can get iiyama 4k computer monitors up to 43" for under 600€ that do not even try to connect to the internet. People who get the series have reported that while they aren't ultra high end, they last for a very very long time.

  • The op of trying to not get your entire family's conversations sold to the lowest bidder to be exploited for scams, insurance price gouging, "dynamic pricing", etc... I guess.

  • Nowadays just get an Intel Arc A380 for 150€ and you can use it for a lot more than only Frigate. That thing is a little beast for my server.

  • Those in countries with universal healthcare, what's it like?

    Jump

  • Belgium here.

    Doctor is 5€ or so, but your general doctor can't do almost anything but prescribe things or refer you, which is enough for most general sicknesses.

    Then you have to go to the hospital for a scan or follow up, usually within the same week, or you can go to the emergency room for something like a break and they will see you immediately (of course, like in the US, you will often have to wait an hour or 3 depending on the time of day). Then for all the tests and everything it is usually <100€, for me I have never had more than 50€ but I haven't had a break where I had to get immediate care.

    Specialists take a long time to see otherwise, often months, but from what I hear from friends in the US, the wait time is usually longer there.

  • Plant-Based Mince Now 29% Cheaper Than Beef at Tesco as Meat Prices Climb

    Jump

  • Now in Belgium, a fake chicken meal with 2 fake chicken fillets is <4€

    The cheapest chicken fillets at aldi are 6.50 € for 2.

    Here real meat has been increasing for years while plant based stays the same. Ground pork is still cheaper though.

    The actual chicken fillet is like 1.5x the protein still, but not too bad. My girlfriend is not veggie and I feel financially bad now also when I get meat for her, but she needs very calorie dense foods sometimes because she can't eat a ton.

  • Greece to ban anonymity on social media

  • Aren't both true though? Internet anonymity has certainly brought out the worst in people all the time, but non- anonymity makes resistance to fascism muchore difficult...
