Yes but not because of IP, because cookies can store unique information about you.

So if you don’t clear the cookies from the browser session then they still exist and can be read by the website regardless of the VPN.

Even if you managed to delete the posts from all federated servers, they will still be archived in various places like the wayback machine and similar.

Better to only post what you’re comfortable sharing forever.

Yeah seeing a cool game and then seeing it’s made in UE5 really puts a damper on things. I wish the engine had more work into performance optimization.

Because manufacturers are scummy, that’s why.

It’s an upside and downside right, because every Tor user looking the same makes it very difficult to tell users apart, but it also makes it dead simple to know someone is using Tor and block them.

Using a VPN could be part of the reason, I imagine they don’t like people making accounts using one.

The best way I can think of is go to a library or something that uses a standard browser with a normal fingerprint, and is not on a VPN, and try signing up for a new account there using a new email address on gmail/yahoo or another ‘normal’ email provider. You want to look like a normal average user.

All the anti-fingerprinting and privacy stuff just makes you stand out more because there is less data being presented and makes you wildly different from the average user.

I am not in person social person but I really need a sense of community which is what I used Reddit for.

You’re on Lemmy which has some of that! Also worth joining some discord groups for things you’re interested in, or matrix if they are active (not very common).

Websites don’t have access to the MAC addresses of a device either.

Nah, because they aren’t blocking words on the other side, this is clearly targeting one specific thing they don’t like.

This says it was done via the API so they wouldn’t be private messages.

The article mentions around 800W of solar being typical, so around $250-350 for the panels plus some mounting hardware and a micro inverter. Maybe $1000 total?

If your energy rates are high it could pay for itself in a few years.

With current AI I doubt it, at best it would do it 90% and then completely screw up the rest of your files.

All good info.

I’m surprised speed isn’t mentioned, for example going 20mph instead of 15mph requires double the power and uses more energy despite the shorter trip time.

20 mile trip at 15mph = 200Wh

20 mile trip at 20mph = 300Wh

Taking a PSU apart is not something the average gamer can do safely.

I agree, but at least OnePlus does have proper fast charging and not the slow stuff that Samsung has, my S21 barely does 18W. It looks like the S24U is up to 45W, but it would be nice to see 100W charge rate in more phones.

That would be wild if it was caused by logging, even a cheap piece of crap SSD is usually rated for 500TBW. Even if you were generating 1TB of logs per month that would still be 41 years before it wears out.

My ebay used enterprise SSDs are rated for 3.6PBW, and they were cheaper than a basic consumer Samsung drive at the time.

How? I can’t get it to give me the TOTP key, it just asks me to download their stupid app.

I feel like AI never has useful features like that, just weird little gimmicks.

Makes you wonder why they went with a CPU that has to use soldered RAM. I would have expected Framework of all places to avoid that level of stupidity.

I’ve always been impressed by their laptops, but this ‘desktop’ release has me wondering if the company is OK, it’s so gimmicky with the weird front panel and lack of useful features.

Yeah and most of the time the people being idiots aren’t even on e-bikes, they’re on e-motorcycles. I keep reading articles about “person on e-bike breaking laws” and it’s a sur-ron or similar e-motorcycle.

There was nothing wrong with throttle e-bikes with a 20mph limit (class 3), and now california ruined that for no reason.

Instead of 30 addresses it’s generally easier to just enable catch-all on your primary address. That way you’re not manually creating each new address.
