I’m seeing this in Australia.

Try looking at legally required ingredient and nutritional labels on food and you’re in for a shock, light grey on white, yellow on white, label across a square corner, it’s clearly intentional and nobody seems to care.

For how much data?

What are you using to get it there and back?

I’m asking because I had been using this for years and only after a catastrophic event, discovered that my “helpful” backup software had turned on versioning which AWS, also helpfully, doesn’t explicitly tell you when you attempt to delete old backup sets, showing no objects but charging you anyway.

I did recover all my data after a catastrophic event, but it was an expensive experience to put it mildly.

Why not gesture navigation?

I’ve never gotten my head around it, but if the vanishing buttons annoy me enough, I might have to make the change.

Lineage os?

Unfortunately, my phone is not on the supported hardware list.

I discovered a Nokia X20 part of the Android One program, that has native Android on it. I loved it so much, I bought a second one, even though my first is still going strong.

Two issues, no more OS updates. I’m stuck on Android 14, and there’s a weird bug with the navigation buttons vanishing from time to time.

Not a recommendation as such, more that there are phones that run unadulterated Android.

We bought exactly one Samsung Android device, that attempted to force us to use Samsung tools for:

• app store
• email
• contacts
• calendar
• internet browsing
• calculator
• chromecast

I’m pretty sure that there were more.

We won’t ever buy a Samsung Android device again.

Marketing.

It’s a big list. Very pretty.

Which of those entries can actually be trusted? I’m asking because so far I’ve seen no evidence in any Android development of a chain of trust.

How do you know for example that these ROMs aren’t riddled with spyware, exploits or info-stealers?

That appears to be an earthed plug into an unearthed adaptor. They’re not supposed to fit.

Note, I’m not familiar with Italian plugs, but they look a lot like Dutch plugs which I grew up with.

I think that unless you have some way to enforce accuracy, it’s meaningless and AFAIK automatic detection tools are no better than chance and to my knowledge, getting worse.

An AI bot operator isn’t going to tag their material as [AI], more likely than not they’d attempt to use [NOT AI].

I’d also point out that while lemmy doesn’t (yet) support hashtags, any “tagging” would probably benefit from using the existing method using a #tag.

Ultimately, you need to ask yourself, is undeclared AI that goes undetected by the community a problem, or the new “normal”?

I’ll note that I’m not a proponent of Assumed Intelligence and think that when the bubble bursts we’re going to be in a world of hurt, but with a little luck the billionaires will have lost their shirts in the process.

There’s nothing to host.

Create an iCal file and import it into your calendar application on your phone.

I think that this is symptomatic of a much larger issue at Mozilla, leadership, or rather, lack of leadership. AI, tracking, privacy, funding, the list of crazy coming from there appears to be just ballooning.

I see no evidence that they deal with actual bug reports, no evidence that they care about users and no clear path being forged, unless they want to enshitify their business, in which case, that appears to be going swimmingly.

I miss my Centronics port.

This is GOLD!

I can’t decide if this is real or an advertisement for the linked article service. I don’t see any CVE in the article which seems to be a good indication of the quality of the content.

I’m not saying that this is misinformation, but I’m extremely sceptical about the nature of this article.

I have some bad news for you … the rest of the world outside school uses even more paper.

Because they’re likely not all using the same data. Some will be time delayed, from a different weather station, averaged over a different period, any number of variations.

1. The temperature on the phone is likely an official temperature, measured at a specific location, under very precise conditions.
2. The thermometer is in full sun, which is not at all either standardised, nor under any controlled conditions, for example, you’re holding it and your temperature is 37°C.

Temperature is measured like this:

Have you considered that the temperature displayed by the phone comes from the internet, rather than an onboard thermometer?
