Same here. I have three models of Zebra printers and they were all pretty much plug and play with Linux.

Blockchain isn’t really a great storage mechanism for large files, it is good for small transactions/records. This is why most NFTs are just links to content instead of storing the content in the blockchain itself. It is possible to store that data in the chain but you usually pay transaction fees based on the size of that data. To store the data in the chain everyone participating in the chain would need a full copy of every video posted which isn’t really feasible long term.

It is also nearly impossible to moderate. i.e. how do you remove illegal CSAM content from something that is designed to be immutable.

So storing data like this is just not the right use case for blockchain.

Someone could create a site based on a blockchain where you distribute links to videos, but those links would still need to be stored somewhere else. You really aren’t gaining much beyond just hosting the content yourself.

The only valid use case would be if you are attempting to avoid government influence that might try to modify your content later, or able to prove that you are the one posting the content. You could use the blockchain to post a link to a video and the hash of the file to verify it is the correct file, then anyone with access to the chain would have a record of who posted it and a way to validate that the content hasn’t been modified.

There are federated options like PeerTube that are close to what you want but without the blockchain issues.

I think the better solution is if the company is so important that it needs to be bailed out, then should just get nationalized when it fails.

Our money goes towards bailing them out, but the public owns it after that. The shareholders that ran it into the ground shouldn’t get to keep it.

Probably liability issues. Some customer doesn’t see it, steps on it, and face plants into the floor then they get sued.

From an insurance perspective these drugs are one of the largest reasons for premium increases in the last couple of years. The high cost combined with the number of Americans that medically qualify to get these covered (usually requirements are just high BMI or other diabetes risks) has increased insurance costs considerably.

So if they are trying to lower insurance premiums (or keep them in check at least) this is a good way to do it.

From a Medicare perspective losing weight is one of the best preventative things you can do for long term health, so getting these covered by Medicare could easily translate to long term savings.

“Tech companies don’t care that students use calculators to cheat”

AI is just a tool like a calculator. No company cares about their employees beyond getting work out of them. If a potential employee shows that they can use the tools at their disposal to get the job done then why would they care?

+1 to this. Lots of talk in this thread about drivers, but the only driver involved here is the Bluetooth driver. Half of the point of Bluetooth is that peripherals don’t need their own drivers, they just provide various profiles which are standardized so the Bluetooth service can consume those profiles from any device.

Not an expert in this area but I believe the implementation of most of those profiles is user space, so the proper place to be debugging is the Bluetooth service or in pulsesudio. So start your Bluetooth service logs they might give you some idea as to what is going on. Try to get a list of what profiles are supported by your OS and what profiles are supported by the device, maybe the device only supports some newer lossless profile that hasn’t been implemented in Linux yet.

I think they worded that backwards and are referring to the adage (or maybe that is what the banks go off of?) that your loan shouldn’t be for more than 3x your income. So if you make 80k per year you can generally afford a $240k house.

Going above that 3x means too much of your income goes to paying for the house and you don’t have enough for other living expenses+maintaining the house.

Likely that the browser they were pointed at went missing (executable moved or something), or was crashing at launch, and this is just Windows saying “I can’t find the default you wanted so I am falling back to Edge, otherwise a lot of stuff is going to be broken”.

If you want the search to be flexible like handling things like root stemming (i.e. for matching words that are pluralized etc) you might want to put the text into an Elasticsearch database.

You might run into problems with the field length if these are long documents. A possible solution to that would be an putting each page into its own field inside of the document.

If this is for a non tech user to search, the Kibana interface should be relatively easy for anyone to use.

The biggest question is going to be will the AI be able to run locally or will they use it as an excuse to turn the game into a subscription.

I can see it now… “The game needs to make calls to OpenAI that we have to pay for to generate dialog so we need to charge by the month for the game”

They will finally have an excuse to turn single player games into subscriptions as well.

Using AI in games isn’t about AI coding. Using AI to code games is likely already in almost every studio.

When they say AI in games that means AI artwork, voice lines, environments, etc.

i.e. imagine NPCs that change their voice lines based on recent events like recently completed missions, or your player looks/equipment/etc. With AI you don’t have to pre-record a near infinite amount of voice lines they can be generated on the fly.

It’s not like they want to punish you for paying off your car.

The reality is that a high percentage of the population loads up on more debt after paying off current debts, so the algorithm reflects that. Usually those points come back after a couple of months.

I always see this argument but I really don’t want anything plugged into anything as important as the USB-C port while the phone is in my pocket.

3.5 plugs are rather short outside of the phone (at least for headphones with 90deg plugs) to minimize leverage that you put on the port. Being able to rotate also means less stress on the port as well.

The USB-C adapters are pretty short, but lack the rotation. I have replaced USB-C ports in dozens of Nintendo Switches and other devices, it is pretty clear they aren’t designed to take much stress.

Long story short if anything happens I would much rather have the 3.5mm pin stuck in a headphone jack than breaking the USB-C port and making it so my phone is a brick.

I don’t use the WebOS app but generally default subtitles/audio languages are set on your profile and the apps pick up those settings.

Try logging in to the web interface and going to your user profile. There is a “Playback” section where you can set your preferred languages. If this isn’t set it likely is taking the default language from your media files instead.

Well the title and most of the article seems to be more about stopping prostitution instead of preventing murder… The article talks a lot about these women being vulnerable but doesn’t really give those women any solutions other than taking away their source of income (which I would think makes them even more vulnerable). It seems like they are using the murder to push a different agenda.

The article even talks about a good number of non-transactional relationships which aren’t against the rules and still sometimes results in women getting assaulted.

Maybe instead of making it against the rules they should make sure it happens somewhere where the soldiers are better monitored. Hopefully then they less likely to assault the women, and it would at the very least be easier to get justice than when a tragedy like that happens. Proving who did it is much more difficult when the victim/perpetrator have to hide their activity in the first place.

Yeah it happened to me yesterday once. Hadn’t opened the app in some time and as soon as I opened it, it was complaining about a 429. It seemed fine the other times I was on the app though.

We are both lenny.world though so it could just be an issue with the instance. Maybe they were fighting off a DDoS and had marked some traffic incorrectly as bots.

+1 to this.

First check that you can get to Jellyfin on your Jellyfin server itself (start with the IP address). This makes sure that the service is running, and that you are trying to access the right port/protocol.

If that works, try the web browser on your phone or any other device on your network next. If that fails it tells you there are firewall or DNS issues.

Infinite scroll occasionally has issues for me on lemmy.world. Seems to always clear up after an hour or two so I have always assumed it is maintenance/issues on the instance side.

Restart the app, logout+login again, and if it still persists after a few hours it is likely a configuration issue with your instance. Maybe make an account on another instance to rule that out.

Laws can easily have exceptions for these things. In China for instance “non approved” VPNs are illegal, but there are plenty of legal VPNs as well.

For instance businesses can get approval for their own VPNs, and regular people can use some free/paid VPNs within the country, but presumably the government can see all of the traffic within those.
