I find it strange that many people here are against this when the alternative is a surgical treatment that often can’t be easily reversed, and even when it is, often lowers the likelihood they will have a kid.
Chemical solutions are way better in that regard because if they are done right they don’t damage any tissue and their affects are temporary.
Ceiling fan is going and a regular fixture put in instead. This seems like a closet or storage room anyway (there are no windows), no real need for a fan like that in a space like this.
You will likely hear the fan tear itself apart from outside of the room, such an event is absolutely loud enough to be heard from outside the door, plus the fact that the little bits of fan that are left afterwards will probably continue spinning and likely bumping into the ceiling (if it’s hanging from the wires).
Also ways to disable the call recording prompt they forced into it. They force that even in one party regions where you can record your own calls without needing permission from the other person.
That is too bad, but also at the same time I kind of lost hope for Gitlab after they jumped on the AI hype train, if they’re going full corporate they probably wouldn’t be a good candidate for Federation (both because other people would defederate them and because they wouldn’t want to because competition).
Just thought I’d drop in to say, it’s possible to play it with your feet.
They usually run Older Windows or MSDOS too, definitely not their own OS category.
Yeah I don’t think this person knows what they’re talking about, they must either think ByteDance is hosting the source code on Oracle’s servers or they somehow think that binaries are the same as source code 🤷
Where did you get the idea that Oracle can see their source code? That only applies if they host their source repository on Oracle, if they host the servers there chances are it’s binaries that are hosted on the server not the source code.
Mastodon.social had a whole thing a while back where they had NDA meetings with Facebook in regards to threads federation.
It’s later come out that they are censoring Palestine content on their platform.
So yeah people who often push for Federation with bad actors like Facebook are very often bad actors themselves.
Thankfully Lemmy.world hasn’t been pushing any pro-Israel content, or censoring Palestine support, at least not yet (hopefully never).
That’s it, right there. Artificial exclusivity, that’s what it always was anything else is an excuse to look or seem better or less scummy.
People are going to try to make up reasons, all of them are an excuse to cover up the real reason which is copying apple and forcing people into Bluetooth to sell more expensive tech junk to people. The original and really only reason.
People will deny this but this is the only real reason for doing that. The other reason is copying apple, which isn’t really another reason as apple removed it for the first reason. Fairphone just went the extra mile to claim that headphones are wasteful, in essence they’re making an excuse to cover up their reason why and also trying to force others to do it as well.
Probably but they certainly don’t want you to know that and almost certainly will say that you can’t.
Obviously but it could become very hard to do that with Smart TVs dominating the space now.
I get that it’s probably technically possible to bypass
Not exactly a bypass it’s more so destruction of property (your own property might I add, since there’s no clause that says you have to return it to the company at some point)
it’d actually be illegal to bypass and almost nobody would do it.
Yeah we’re definitely not at the point in time yet where it is illegal to vandalize your own things, hacking in some places, but vandalism of your own property not so much (exceptions only for rentals or leases, which TVs aren’t since you never need to return them).
They already have that it’s called click fraud or automated ad clicking, mostly though it’s websites that earned money from advertisers who engage in this, as a sleazy way of making more money.
Though if you want to partake in it there are ad blocking extensions that also do it. It’s not perfect but it is quite damaging to the advertising industry.
You can tear the wifi antenna off the board, and it’ll never connect again (not just unplug it from the card, actually tear it off the pads), could also remove the shield from the Wifi module as well for good measure and it would never get a good signal ever again.
If you’re feeling really brave you could even try removing or cutting the traces connecting the Wireless module to the main system bus, has diminishing returns though since it would be very easy to short or destroy the PCI bus rendering the system completely inoperable.
Probably injecting the ads into blank screen periods.
Maybe we should bring back screensavers, would really fuck with devices like this that look for blank screen time that would simply never occur.
You have another slot most likely, it’s just populated by the Wifi card, If you’re willing to sacrifice that and use one of those tiny USB wifi adapters you can use that as your second slot with a little adapter to convert between E key to M key. Also have to use a 2230 SSD since the longer ones won’t fit in the spot.
