Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•What is your favorite Steam deck Bluetooth keyboard?English
1·6 months agoWell yes you should check if the specs on the product page say Bluetooth.

1·6 months agoIt’s not unrealistic if you don’t expect it to be watertight. They’ve already banned piracy and gambling sites here. It’s a simple DNS block and so only for people using their ISP’s DNS. It still works, way fewer people use the sites that are blocked.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Desktop Linux distros similar to Steam OS?English
1·7 months agoYou can run many Windows applications in Wine, but not everything works well.
Creative Cloud (PhotoShop et al) is one of those that usually doesn’t work well.
Here’s a list of Photoshop versions on WineDB with how well they work.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Iran asks its people to delete WhatsApp from their devicesEnglish
11·7 months agoI used to think that too, but it’s so far only Google Messages and Apple iMessage? GSMA only added E2EE in RCS recently, Google is still using their own thing on top and Apple nothing yet. You have to be a member of GSMA to read the whole spec.

1·7 months agoAren’t those just ALPR camera’s? France has those too.
To have them without being a police state you need a short strict list of things cops are allowed to use them for. Like the article says basically.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Survey shows Gmail users would gladly sacrifice features for more privacyEnglish
1·8 months agoI guess I’ve always just made the new passwords in Bitwarden and have it fill in the form rather than fill in the form and let Bitwarden save it. Do you not use generated passwords? Can’t help you on the offline thing, I see how that would be annoying.

2·8 months agoWhy doesn’t everyone just use a better manager like Lastpass or Bitwarden, it’s super easy to use.

homeassistant@lemmy.world•Home Assistant - Deprecating Core and Supervised installation methods, and 32-bit systemsEnglish
1·8 months agoI am running it in docker and thought that wasn’t official. The ideal for me would be if someone competent packaged it for Debian.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Netflix Puts AI Ads in Paid Tier: Pirate Everything at This PointEnglish
2·8 months agoPlatforms that may want no affiliation but don’t censor enough (sometimes nothing, sometimes only reported actually illegal things) usually end up becoming nazi platforms. (see the punk bar parable)
I don’t think Odysee is as bad as Bitchute yet, but my hopes for it becoming good are zero.
I do get the appeal of things needing to work without internet, but it seems very broad as a category. People use webapps for things that used to be local, like Office 365 or Figma, or even searching in Google to do arithmetic, so the calculator app is offline first.
On mobile I think a more reasonable example is offline maps, I use OSMand myself but recommend Organic Maps to less technical people.
About offpunk, all browsers used to have that. Firefox still has the “work offline” option in the file menu. In offline mode you can go to any webpage that you visited while online.
Can you explain what you mean by offline-first?
Like if it’s internet stuff that still works when offline, most e-mail clients would count. I use KMail but they’re all pretty similar.

I agree in principle but went with bulbs anyway because I have a lot three and four way switches and I don’t get how to wire them.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotionsEnglish
7·9 months agoYou need external speakers now and some sort of set top box, but you can just buy a 50" monitor, they’re intended for conference rooms or signage.
I personally just don’t connect my smart tv to my network.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•HP hasn't made an OMEN gaming handheld because of Windows, but they are open to making a SteamOS-powered handheldEnglish
3·10 months agoHP is all over the place, they do make trash, but their business laptops are usually pretty good.

6·10 months agoThey’re also, more accurately, calling it an exploit and a security vulnerability.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•DOJ: Google must sell Chrome, Android could be nextEnglish
7·10 months agoIt’d be good for Android to be mostly its base, the Android Open Source Project. Over the years Google put more and more things in the proprietary part of Android (Google Play Services) instead of AOSP.
Depends on who takes over whether that gets better of course. If they also put too much in Play Services, or ask the manufacturers for a high fee, yes it’s possible we go back to more oem flavours.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Signal is the No. 1 downloaded app in the Netherlands. But why?
5·10 months agoI guess this means we’re not switching to RCS then?

The Unicode Consortium disagrees with you. ℉ and ℃ are included for round-trip convertibility, they are compatibility characters. That doesn’t mean you’re not supposed to use them, but the decomposition of ℉ is ° + F, which does mean they are equivalent and that it is correct to use ° for both angles and temperatures.
It’s like how hyphen-minus has two very different uses but is one character.
