  • I live dangerously. I have it set to show NSFW and to not blur it in my feed. Give me all of Lemmy unfiltered.

  • 'All pain for no gain': Reality of post-Brexit trading conditions bites

    Jump

  • I was looking for someone with your view to ask. Why is holding on to the Pound such a big hurdle? Which would you rather accept: the Euro and Schengen zone, or the continued decline of your country through post-Brexit policies and outcomes?

  • The new Sony Walkman costs more than you think, here's why

  • MHz refers to the samples per second, not the pitch. CD audio for example is 16-bit/44.1kHz. What that means is there are 16-bits of sampling (audio) taken 44,100 times per second. DSD on the other hand is 1-bit samples taken 11.2 million times per second, this is referred to as DSD256. What that translates to is a digital wave that looks a lot closer to an analog wave than a CD does. It has nothing to do with the frequency of listening in this case.

  • Gee, take your pick: you have the bad rebranding, the yanking and cancellation of some of their best shows (seriously, Westworld? You owned it!), cancelling already completed movies (Batgirl) or raising the price and removing 4k as a default among other things.

    I thought musk was doing a Speedrun on how to kill a company but didn't realize he had competition.

  • What cheap wireless headphones do you recommend and why?

    Jump

  • Same question. What is your price range?

  • What mid tier wireless headphones do you recommend and why?

    Jump

  • What price range are you looking at? One person's mid-tier is not another's.

  • That picture doesn't say much. What is the weather like right now?

  • Most people rather be electronically shocked than left alone with their thoughts?

    Jump

  • I may be looking at it wrong but there's an odd flaw to me in the premise. I view "pay money to avoid being shocked" as something that is happening to you, out of your control. Pressing the button, regardless of the outcome, is something you are choosing to do and is most likely a result of curiosity and bordem.

    I think a better approach would have been "if you push this button, the simulation is over and you loose", and then see what people do.

  • Government fears AI could be used to spread fake news in run up to elections

    Jump

  • Oh I'm not absolving them of their culpability either, however there is a two pronged approach that is happening right now. The first are those mouth pieces as you listed, but then there is the amplification of the message that is occuring and guiding conversations that is the work on troll farms. This more natural "grass roots" conversation is what I'm likening to their concerns about AI. The difference is you're just taking the human out of the equation.

  • If you think that's bad, wait till you hear about the US... Only one small part that hits 150mph (240km/h) on a 50mi (80km) section. For a country that's got more land area that Europe....

  • [Question] How to isolate my TV from the network?

    Jump

  • How it's implemented can vary, but you're gonna take one of three approaches

    • Microsegmentstion - On a home network this is the hardest but ensures there's no overlap
    • Separate VLAN - this is usually good if your router can support it and have multiple gateways for each VLAN. Your router can then restrict traffic. Unifi gear does this well and I use this set up to segment my guest and IoT traffic
    • Separate subnets - if your router doesn't support multiple VLANs this can work, but you still need a router that supports it

    The latter two can actually work with an unmanaged switch as long as you tag your vlans correctly. The key is having a router than can handle it.

  • But the beard and your clothes are all things you control. You don't expect someone to change their looks for you. So likewise you shouldn't be expecting developers to meet your stylistic demands.

  • option to browse a different 'local' instance

    Jump

  • Given the activity pub nature I think the closest you would get would be to filter by an instance. So your home instance would get all the ones it sees via the pub and then could filter based on name. To get a true "local" view you'd either have to auth anonymously as a different user (couldn't comment) or would have to log in to that instance as one of their users (disjointed comment history).

    Edit: I think this goes under the umbrella of allowing individuals to filter instances, just a reverse application of it. I know that's an oft talked about feature.

  • Pentagon-Funded Study Uses AI to Detect 'Violations of Social Norms'

    Jump

  • It's probably the most secure,. commonly available, messaging platform right now. They keep a bare minimum of metadata on their servers. Basically enough to link you on the platform. After that, everything is e2e encrypted and they can't tell authorities anything.

    Other platforms are a sliding scale from to/from/time data, all the way up to full messages.

  • Request: Make the old icon an option

  • I have never understood why people put so much stock in icons. It's like people getting upset over the new pixelated reddit icon. It's all reminiscent of the custom ring tones and call back song that people used to obsess over.
