  • How to check whether a particular url is safe or not ?

  • If it's a website use a website preview online service.

  • I generally have already decided what to purchase before I load Amazon's website. I also rarely purchase cheap white label products, and so Amazon's reviews are mostly irrelevant to me. I've rarely needed to return items too and recently they were all my fault anyway, eg, not quite the dimensions I thought I needed.

  • I've never heard of anyone use a shop's reviews to decide what product to purchase, so you're literally the first to me.

    If I want a product that I have no idea about then I'll go to forums, YouTube channels, etc about that type of thing and see what they say about it all. They'll be people who've done product reviews and comparisons. And so they're the people with the knowledge and their the people that care.

    So in your example of wanting a guitar pedal I'd be visiting music and electric guitar places on the internet to gather knowledge on the product range.

    Once I hit the online store, I've already decided what I want to purchase. And so the store reviews are more about the seller themselves and whether the product is genuine/fake, or a good/bad version of the white label item.

  • Fakespot has always felt inaccurate to me. Once every 6 months or so I gave it a go to see if any of the updates have improved it but it never felt like it did to me.

    Furthermore, I don't see the point in Fakespot since Amazon bends over backwards to accept returns for any reason.

  • Philips debuts 3D printable components to repair products

  • This looks like a win win situation to me. You don't have to replace your item and they continue to sell consumables.

  • Please seed !! Public torrents need your help

    Jump

  • Usenet requires an indexer and a provider. An indexer indexes content. A provider is a server that hosts the content. Content is split into 1MB chunks.

    The manual way. You look for content you want on the website of the indexer and download the nzb file. You download the nzb file, which a list of the 1MB chunks and put it in your usenet download software. The downloader then downloads it.

    The automated way. There is a software suite called *arr. It's not exclusive to Usenet; you can also use it with torrents. You search for the content you're interested in and the software does the rest.

    Trash-guides and servarr are popular guides.

  • The only issue with projects like LineageOS is that the camera usually sucks because the full fat camera driver isn't released to the public, it's only the basic driver. The camera can still take photos but all of the features you've become accustomed to are not there. This was my experience and what the LineageOS team said during the Samsung S5-S8 days.

  • Does anyone have any advice on how to make homemade conductive paint to fix a cracked carbon trace in a game controller?

  • It's 100% what professionals do to repair traces. Please don't spread misinformation.

  • Just link out the broken trace with a thin wire. This is what the professionals do. The original traces are carbon to reduce manufacturing costs.

  • Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issues

    Jump

  • I pulled some data off some old Samsung 1TB SSDs that werent powered for 3-4 years without an issue either. I guess they were SLC based on what others are saying.

    I guess it's a your mileage may vary situation depending on the exact drive you purchase and probably other factors too.

  • Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?

    Jump

  • Do you acknowledge the questions you haven't answered and state that you'll respond to them at a later time or want another person to chime in?

  • What kind of CAPTCHA is this?

  • It's called the 'John Hammond attack'. Even though it existed before he added his 2 cents, what you see in your image is his addition.

    Watch his video to see him explain it.

  • TIL you can ask Google to blur your house out on Google Maps

  • Let's not forget anyone can fly light weight quadcopters and planes with cameras on them within the boundaries of private property. Most aviation authorities around the world are in control of air space, and that air space in most countries starts a micron above the ground. And therefore it's perfectly legal for anyone to fly something within the boundaries of your property. Now you could get into trouble for being a peeping Tom, aggravation, etc depending on the circumstance. But nothing can be done if someone was to do a quick fly over.

    In my opinion blurring out street view only protects you against the 'script kiddies' of the stalking/spying world.

    One thing about blurring in street view. Once it's done, it cannot be undone. So I'd have consideration for others before going ahead with making a request.

    I've given up on Reddit. I only lurk on it these days and that's only when Lemmy feels a little stale.

  • It could be reasonably innocent. Eg. A student doing a study Lemmy and wants to see where the user base is roughly located. Since Lemmy has many privacy focused people on the platform, I doubt they would get many responses on a survey.
