  Anbernic did it. They fixed the RG DS, calling it the RG DS Plus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_ZBKwptV5U Based on the video they have at least fixed: - The screens are 1024x768 now, the exact resolution I wish the original used. - It comes with Linux from the start rather than Android (The original RG DS got a Linux image later) - The stylus can now be stored inside the console - The device is now bigger, mimicking the DSi XL better rather than being a in-between of the DSi XL and DS Lite...

  is zorin os still the most idiot proof distro out there? my dad's pc is dying and so i nabbed some sub-$100 used laptop with a 3200U in it. my dad is so tech illiterate that i haven't even managed to make him put a password on his account, if he does he'll be locked out within 48 hours because caps lock is too complex for him to comprehend. same with a PIN, he's going to get fucked by num lock. i need to put linux on the thing, hand it to him, and he needs to be able to watch...

  Long shot, but does anyone know how to remove a drawer where an idiot has installed the rails backwards? I can't get my kitchen drawers out because the idiot who installed this kitchen mounted the rails backwards. Meaning the larger rail is mounted to the drawer instead of the inside, and the smaller rail is mounted inside. And the latch to release the drawer is therefore unavailable. Search engines only give me AI slop results

  @mario@don.tbully.me I guess so, how large is your music library anyways for it to cache 500k picutres? Music libraries typically only need one or two images per album + some metadata per artist. At least that's how Jellyfin handles my music.

  @mario@don.tbully.me The heck, my entire database folder is 20M. Granted I don't actually use Kodi for my music, so i "only" have about 5800 anime episodes plus some movies.

  @mario@don.tbully.me How friggin big is your library? I have like ~6000 episodes of weebshit and my database is still only around 20MB LibreELEC still memory leaks so hard I have to reboot it every 48 hours though.

  @wolf480pl@mstdn.io >they said they will filter bot votes after the bots have already voted eh, same shit different ass >but I don't know they're gonna have enough information in a vote to be able to discern that... Even with more info, especially in the age of LLMs that's especially difficult. Even Steam can't hope to figure it out, they add a notice telling you that a game might've been review bombed, but that's mostly it. If from a computer's perspective i...

  @wolf480pl@mstdn.io Well yeah, I'm well aware that that's what they were going for. But they basically just said "we'll block bots" with zero example of how the heck they'd manage to do that. We've been trying to block bots and automated attacks ever since the first captcha came along (and realistically before that as well), if we still haven't figured it out, i don't see how these people would have any better chance at doing so.

  Dunno if I support the argument at the end to add opinion polls to everything, seems to easy too bot just like likes or boosts. But otherwise this website is a decent read RE: https://tech.lgbt/@david/116659006573176516

  @simon_m@infosec.exchange When I switched stuff over to UniFi starting in like 2017 I was stubborn enough to refuse to budge on the "no internet access". So luckily I haven't had to think about any of this at all since all our unifi devices and controllers are on closed VLANs and there's not really any comms besides controller devices, some inter-site-tunnels and the occasional temporary egress to fetch new firmware. I just let the regular update cycles run their course :)

  @simon_m@infosec.exchange Is this related to the UniFi OS issue from last week? Or did something new happen?

  @fedops@fosstodon.org can't wait for them to start selling us "endpoint security tools monitoring", a tool to help us ensure that we've deployed all the endpoint security tools that already exist. they're probably done after another 50 layers of "endpoint security" or so, hopefully, maybe, probably not

  Some brands in Norway have started slicing their hot dog buns along the top rather than along the side. (Probably because it saves $0.001 per bun thanks to more efficient tooling or something) So you get the most shallow, awkward and useless split possible, where you can barely fit a sausage. And that's about it, you're lucky if you can even fit some ketchup on top without it spilling everywhere. I would like to know how to get the people responsible for this thrown in jail.

  @mwichary@mastodon.online Bit unfortunate, but I reckon that integrating an iPod-style touch wheel into any apps besides the bundled ones would be a nightmare

  btw, while i was browing around and found out about korean flip phones, i also found out about a device called the "sidephone". It's a proper Android phone in a feature phone form factor, with a replaceable keypad for customization. And it's not some weird trend thing they're charging out the ass for. It's priced like a regular phone at around 200-300€ It's not quite my thing since I want the bigger screen you can fit on a flip phone, but I'm sure someone here...

  I find it a bit sad that Ice have seemingly stopped doing 450MHz LTE in Norway. Probably because no modern client devices support those bands and I reckon they were tired of having to get custom LTE routers all the time. LTE at 450MHz might not have been particularly fast, but the coverage it provided was honestly pretty insane.

  @sun@shitposter.world Auctions just aren't really a thing in Norway afaik. As mentioned, ebay used to never ship to Norway. The local alternative (finn.no) lets you list stuff with a price and I guess you could message a seller to lowball them, but that's mostly the closest you get to an auction. The used market in Norway just generally sucks imo
