TheCraiggers , 11 months ago to technology in Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter

SafetyNet is the name of Google’s tamper protection thingy. Basically, if it’s not a trusted chain, safety net won’t pass.

This doesn’t impact phone functionality, but some apps check for this and refuse to work if it’s not passing. Google Pay is one of the more well-known examples. Some other banking apps will also check for it. Oddly enough, Pokemon Go also used to (not sure if it still does).

Doesn’t that invalidate safety net?

No, but in this case it’s not just population. If some potato farmer in northern Asia sees a UFO (especially before the proliferation of smartphones), how would it be reported and appear on this map? Lots of other reports come from pilots and such and again, far different distribution between continents.

And president terms are 4 years. Doesn’t stop impeachment though.

If you install a custom build, doesn’t that break OS verification (or whatever the name of it was)? Meaning things like Google wallet, but more importantly some banking apps, will fail to work?

I see one potential good thing though: maybe people would be less interested in killing the only planet that supports human life if they knew they were going to be on it forever.

I would think suddenly being able to go back to your 20s is the NG+.

TheCraiggers , 11 months ago to technology in Reddit enrages users again by ditching thank-you coins and awards

Are you sure this would be considered an EULA and not a TOS?

TheCraiggers , 11 months ago to technology in Reddit enrages users again by ditching thank-you coins and awards

Are they really in material beach since the agreement you agreed to by giving them money basically says “coins have no value and we can delete them at any time we want”?

I mean, I hate Reddit as much as the next guy here but that sounds a bit like doing a charge back because you didn’t win on the slot machine you just pulled.

because I refuse to consume any of it

I guarantee you already have and didn’t notice.

There’s a philosophical argument to be made for sure, and I’d probably even agree with you. But the reality is that the technology is here, and it’ll be used in pursuit of the almighty buck.

TheCraiggers , 11 months ago to selfhosted in What are you using for photo storage and organization?

Perhaps, but there are a few that do it, such as photoprisim and photostruct.

TheCraiggers , 11 months ago to selfhosted in What are you using for photo storage and organization?

As somebody that already has an NFS share for their photos, is immich able to use my already existing photo location, or is it another one of those that requires an import process that copies them to its own storage?

TheCraiggers , 11 months ago to selfhosted in What are you using for photo storage and organization?

So, what, it only lets you upload pics remotely but not view? I do not understand.

I was thinking of trying it out but the huge banner saying not to trust it for anything important makes me hesitate every time.

TIL that food is not essential.

In all seriousness though, how has socialist food policies failed catastrophically? Seems like there are plenty of (albeit small) examples where it has worked.
