Even today’s Google (if you use an adblocker) is still much better results than Duckduckgo from my experience. I use ddg first, but I often have to resort to Google if the results are shit.

The wording on the original comment was still extremely inaccurate. Apple didn’t fuck with the batteries remotely. They throttled the SOC with a silent update, which technically even extended the battery life on phones with degraded batteries, it just happened to make them very slow in the process. So it’s acurrate to say the opposite of the original comment was the case, even if Apple should still have installed sufficient batteries in the first place and/or informed their customers about the update before getting caught.

There are thousands of legitimate reasons to criticize Apple, we don’t need to twist the facts. It just makes the criticism worthless to anyone that knows better

Du kriegst auch in Deutschland sehr leicht Vapes mit mehr als 20mg/ml, sind nur eben illegal. Der Schwarzmarkt für Vapes ist groß

Sounds like you just have a healthy protein intake. A positive nitrogen balance will cause you to fart more often

Who puts an HDD into a desktop computer in 2026? For a NAS I would understand, but putting an HDD in a desktop is very uncommon nowadays, even as a secondary drive

Sounds like you don’t get invited to parties, or you’d know what a Spotify jam is

I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to unsubscribe

May be hard to grasp for someone on lemmy, but some people have a social life

but I’ve always heard that Nintendo in Japan is a somewhat safe stock

Nintendo has extreme amounts of liquidity. They could operate for years without any income

Just being able to remove the awful screen margins is already worth it. Whose idea was it to have 30% of the screen real estate be unused when reading a book

On Samsung phones you take a screenshot and then tap the “T” icon for screenshot OCR, it will let you click any QR code on the screenshot.

Google Lens is also an option if you have that installed

I could surely just buy a VPS somewhere where it is allowed and then route through a VPN from there?

That would also be significantly less private than using a public VPN. This method would only prevent your ISP from seeing what you do, but if someone figures out the public ip of your VPS and connects it to your identity, then you’re just as exposed as when not using a VPN at all. The big advantage of public VPNs is that you share a public IP with dozens or hundreds of other users on the same server.

Using Tor would be the better option for privacy, but comes with its own issues. Also, please don’t abuse the tor network for piracy

Even if you hit the brain it’s unlikely to kill. You have to hit the brain stem, which is not very big, for a guaranteed kill

It would be counterbalanced by the poop in his diapers

I mean, this isn’t really a new thing, they did the same with Paul Walker for Fast and Furious

$2 is a normal price on Aliexpress for an Esp32 C3 super mini, $4 is almost expensive

Oh, I definitely know I’m not a profitable customer for them. My home electricity bill for my NAS is already a multiple of my Backblaze subscription

I have a 190TB NAS, and Backblaze is $99 for unlimited. At least it was until now

This would increase my yearly cost from $99 to over 10k
