Also nmap uses fingerprinting on port scans to identify devices. Or attempt to, a lot of the time it doesn’t know, or says “Linux”

If Oasis is beyond your line for what is allowed to be called music then your music choices must be small indeed.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 3 weeks ago:
The argument there is if a game is left online with no studio to care for it then they believe they would be liable for community content.
I don’t think it applies to offline games at all.

- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 5 weeks ago:
Then why the outrage from this news story then?
I also boycott epic. Steam is the way. But for reasons that steam is different to epic.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 5 weeks ago:
This isn’t exclusive to epic. Steam has had games removed as well.

Yeah exactly this. But the bandwagon has left the station at this point.

My wife and I were looking forward to this. We played the original together a bunch of times.
Oh well, thanks for sharing, will go look for something else. Damn.
- Comment on 10 to 100 Times Faster than a Starlink Antenna, and Cheaper Than Fiber: Taara Unveils a Laser Internet That Could Shatter the Status Quo 1 month ago:
I don’t think this technology is intended to be used for global internet. But for giving access to a remote town, this is many magnitudes lesser in cost than a satellite.
A brief internet search tells me that a Starlink satellite is ~$1 million apiece, and lasts 5 years. With the additional cost of the launch the annual cost is ~$300,000 per year per satellite. You can work out the cost for 10 masts and tell me that its much cheaper.
From a consumer perspective, Starlink is amazing. Fast, relatively cheap, available anywhere. From a labour and material cost, its incredibly expensive. If a town can be serviced by cable, wireless, this new laser or whatever then the economical and environmental impact (in terms of materials) are a fraction.
Whilst masts will face the same prejudice as windmills for destroying landscapes, Starlink has already been causing issues with stargazing and night sky pollution. And this is only the first commercial venture for low-orbit internet. I can imagine there shall eventually be multiple of these setups, each with thousands of satellites (Starlink is at 7k+ now I think) which will only exacerbate the issues.
The point being, that having other technologies with overlapping abilities isn’t a bad thing. Choice is good.
- Comment on 10 to 100 Times Faster than a Starlink Antenna, and Cheaper Than Fiber: Taara Unveils a Laser Internet That Could Shatter the Status Quo 1 month ago:
Hang on that’s not a fair comparison. So you will need to deploy some masts to reach remote areas, got it.
Satellite internet then needs to fire a satellite into space to cover the area of which now there are thousands of then And the satellite has a shelf life and will eventually burn up in the atmosphere requiring repeated deployments.
Masts sounds easier.

Meta have always done this. Years ago when I used to use Facebook they would constantly change privacy settings so my posts or whatever were visible to my more then direct friends.

Bird flu running rampant with little oversight or control of the problem. Or, it is using that as an excuse to constrict supply and make $$$. Take your pick.

Lots of hate on ubisoft. I think division 2 is a great game though, not so much the rest.
- Comment on The amount of ads cycling on Fextralife 5 months ago:
I have fextralife black listed. I don’t know what their game is but it feels fake. Long winded introductions with little substance and recently ai slop.

Elon is so uncoordinated, socially awkward. I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t imagine what this would look like.
On the other hand he is also a cunt so likely knew exactly what he was doing.

The send to email function doesn’t work with the New Outlook. You could switch back to Outlook classic.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
Instances have a choice to enable a new Lemmy feature that will proxy all images through the local instance. Whilst your instance may not do that today it may do in the future. Or you could move to an instance that has this enabled. I don’t know how to list instances with it enabled but it should be obvious by the URL used by images when viewed from an instance.

I expect they tell us it can achieve that because under the hood DLSS4 gives it more performance if enabled.
But is that a fair comparison?

They are starting to rip out the cables used in car chargers. It’s only 2m long, costs £300 to replace and the thief strips out £4 worth of copper.
