I can also recommend KDE connect, does not work well on most public WiFi though.

In 2011. It’s been 14 years and for streaming portal things just got worse and worse.

Yeah, this is definitely not a good comparison, I agree. One argument maybe is that because planes are more regulated it works out at lower accident rate and that’s what we should bring to the car world. But there are also much much more cars than planes around.

Please, priests have been dipping people underwater for centuries!

Yeah, how is it so unbelievable that when you go twice the speed you are twice as fast but when you go a third faster in speed you only go a third fast in time. Diminishing returns is something else, like you would go a third faster in speed but arrive only a quarter faster.

Wow, Sammie baby must have been really outraged while he typed this, didn’t even use his own LLM to help him draft the sentence and it really shows.

Just saw this post and thought of your topic here: https://lemmy.world/post/34149294

What do you mean, just download your extra RAM like everyone else.

I’ll just start off with some second hand knowledge I cannot promise is correct because I recently learned that secure boot is a bit of a hot mess.

I seem to remember from discussions of recent articles that were about expiration of some widely used keys to run secure boot, that this is something you need to enable when you install your operating system. Unless I misunderstood what people were saying it sounds to me like there is no way to switch it on retroactively, because that pretty much stops your operating system from booting. Similar if you had it on during installation and then switch it off, your system won’t run.

I guess this is to avoid that someone with physical access to your computer can just switch it off, install root kit malware, then switch it back on (or not).

Again. I might be wrong but maybe if you look into that direction you find some more information that helps.

I mean, that doesn’t really mean much, given that you don’t have to be very intelligent to get one. It’s mostly an endurance exercise and often a test how much frustration and uncertainty you can take in your life.

She is now

Yeah, what an idiotic comparison. The one thing is a game franchise, specifically designed to get you hooked on it and “collect them all” which obviously means you need to know what you are collecting. Plus the name yelling thing.

The other thing is… life. How many average 8-year olds are travelling the world to see all animals? They certainly don’t have unrestricted access to the internet (hopefully) to lookup animals. There’s no reward for knowing that.

Just a shitty comparialson.

If there’s a German code that would work as you intended (if I got you right) but it doesn’t for you, since you don’t live in Germany, would it work to make the machine believe it is located in Germany?

They might have hardcoded a location into it, then you are out of luck. But maybe they determine it via the internet connection you use to update? So you could potentially have it connected to a VPN through your router, which fakes a German location? Probably too simple a solution.

It’s fine to ask for money. Here I think it is just not clear why this would warrant a subscription model.

Yeah, not sure how that is confusing.

Is there any server component to it, other than serving updates? That would justify a subscription model, but I also cannot see any need for it for something like this.

“A Stanford professor”… Please make sure to attach names specifically for such bullshit views, it seems this is Jonathan Berk, you can only find the cowards name in what looks like footnotes.

Edit: he is by the way Professor of Finance, which makes him and his opinion even more unlikeable. Also got his PhD in 1990! Just to give some context to his idiotic intro here talking about how wondrous it was he got paid for doing a PhD.
