That behavior deserves more internet points

OK Microsoft... trying to log into Teams while work lapop updates to Windows 11. No longer works in any iPhone browser, including Edge. The app will not authenticate my work login. (lemmy.world)

Update…Per Microsoft’s instructions, disabled all tracking protections in Safari and requested desktop mode and it works. Their instructions say turn protections back on after using teams… 😐...

I don’t use Teams but I use WebEx on a Linux laptop. Can’t imagine how it can get worse than that

Oh so that’s what happened to Blinkin in Robin Hood Men In Tights

That one is very good. It’s mine now thanks

Judging someone by what their great grandfather did or who he supported is so reductive it makes your point worthless.

I don’t use data on the USB port very often and when I do it’s always to make an access point over USB so the USB2.0 bandwidth is enough for my use.

I wonder if people really have a use for USB3.

Apart from making phone more expensive, I don’t see a real need for me

pedro ,

That’s a valid point.

Also is there’s a USB3 controller at all in the phone to connect the camera inside the phone? Or does the camera talk on a different bus on the SoC?

pedro ,

Depends on what frequency your “mirror” mirrors.

A traditional one reflects higher frequency of electromagnetic rays (visible light) than what you need for wifi (in the microwave frequencies)

pedro ,

Oh yeah probably but it might absorb some or even more thant it reflects

More than $35 million has been stolen from over 150 victims since December — ‘nearly every victim’ was a LastPass user (www.theverge.com)

USB sticks are not very reliable and can become totally unreadable randomly. I hope you at least have a few backups of it

You’re mistaken on the definition of racism. This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with how France deals with secularism

pedro ,

Again, this is not racism. There are white Muslims and black christians everywhere in France

pedro ,

I’m also French and I don’t know, maybe you’re right and that’s a way to hide the real racist motives. I’m probably biased because I dislike all religions equally though

pedro ,

You’re right, it’s not ok

Words matter. There are different ones for a reason

You know what? I’ll think about it

What's the most efficient way for peeling potatoes by hand? (sh.itjust.works)

Like, I get comments from people telling me it’s weird I always try to peel potatoes like I am trying to make the worlds longest 1-piece potato peel. To me it feels way for efficient and fun to continu down a potato in 1 peel, while circling around it, instead of randomly scraping a hundred different pieces of peel off and...

pedro ,

My guess is it helps dissolve them?

What kind of risk are you talking about?

The electrical network connecting all your federated renewable infrastructures is managed by one entity already, isn’t it? That’s the same kind of risk you describe.

Does anyone else act more 'human' when solving captchas?

Whenever I have to do a captcha where you must select all tiles with bicycles, I know I can just click through super fast, but I feel like that might make the website suspicious, so I purposefully slow down like “Geez, this is a melon-scratcher!” or click and then unclick a tile like “whoops, silly me, thats an umbrella...

I do exactly the same. They want me to work for them? Pay me

Spanish soccer chief apologizes for giving Women's World Cup winner a surprise kiss on the lips (www.cnn.com)

Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) President Luis Rubiales has admitted he “made a mistake” by giving Spain star Jennifer Hermoso a surprise kiss on the lips after the 33-year-old received her gold medal following the team’s Women’s World Cup final victory over England on Sunday....

pedro ,

That’s actually the factual way to describe it

pedro ,

Let’s break it down

Is it a fact that it was a kiss? Yes

Is it a fact that it was a surprise (to her)? Yes

I’m not denying this is sexual assault but there is a difference between a fact and a judgment.

pedro ,

I have never said that and you are reading what you want to read from my comment.

The FACT that the kiss was given without consent makes it a sexual assault. But still, it’s a surprise kiss and that’s a fact.

I wasn’t trying to say more than that so maybe tone it down.

I’m probably a better feminist than you are. That is not a fact, that’s a judgement

pedro ,

A movie? No

A piece of information that your life might depend on and you need to trust the origin of this information? Yes

pedro ,

Never saw this before but I doubt you would fit 4 dutch in that

pedro ,

I think what is missing is control over the representatives. When you elect someone, you give them your power, you should be able to take it back when they abuse it.

In a representative democracy, transparency and control are key and when this is not enforced, people tend to think the system is broken and does not work. It would work if that is fixed

Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own?

I have a family member living on my property in a separate but adjacent living space, close enough together to share my router’s wifi. She likes to let her youtube app endlessly autoplay talking head news videos at full volume due to her hearing loss, and this goes on for a few hours in the mornings. The sound through the...

pedro ,

How does that solve the bandwidth issue?

pedro ,

I’m always amazed at how much you pay for internet in the US and Canada. Here in France, fiber vs copper is usually the same price maybe a 5-10 euros/month difference depending on the ISP

pedro ,

Hmmm no free software can be closed source. Neither is the subset of the other but they intersect

100% solar energy? They shutdown the servers at night?

The site says 100% green but hosted in Germany. I’d be curious to know how this is possible
