baatliwala,

That place being mapped with only building=yes is peak OSM

baatliwala,

Wtf is Google Chats

You must pick a point in human history before the 1950s to be spend the rest of your life in. What era and place would you choose?

You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.

Doom wiki is great

baatliwala,

I remember TomTom was starting to pick up in my country with their dedicated GPS units for cars and then the iPhone came and destroyed them all

baatliwala,

YYYY-MM-DD for everything digital, DD-MM-YYYY for everything IRL.

baatliwala,

Worked fine for me

baatliwala,

I thought comic book movies were in decline until the Batman came out. The question is if Marvel is willing to part from their generic formula so their movies feel fresh.

Marvel needs some good direction from a management level, they need to build an Avengers team of writers who can really think of an overarching plot and have an end goal. They keep introducing new characters and then just don’t use them at all (where is Shang Chi?), their IP is spread out too much across unnecessary TV shows, they need to get their budget under control because somehow everything costs a billion, and their end product is worsened by the fact that their VFX teams are being overrun. This is Kevin Feige’s time to shine more than ever and he needs to show Disney that he can earn that pay.

baatliwala,

What monopoly?

baatliwala,

You mean removing the “Don’t be evil” slogan? That’s not entirely true, they moved that from Google to Alphabet

baatliwala,

Is this the equivalent of lemmy karmawhoring? I can’t see how this is related to the acquisition.

baatliwala,

I don’t see how a game which was developed pre MS has anything to do with MS fucking up? That’s a soceopathic obsession with hating something, 99.99999% of people won’t think of blaming a company for this.

baatliwala,

Everything is going to have AI label now. Won’t be surprised if fucking spell check will be called AI.

baatliwala,

That people from my country actually had the gall to behave like our country belonged to us and not white people.

baatliwala,

India, it’s not even been 80 years since we became independent

baatliwala,

This is like WoW64?

baatliwala,

Didn’t expect to get such a detailed answer but wow that’s informative, thanks.

baatliwala,

Most companies are still piggybacking off of big tech because of the scale of LLMs. If big tech companies are having problems then everyone else will sooner or later. The more simple ones can probably be done on worse machines but not all and certainly not something on the scale of ChatGPT

baatliwala,

Are you running your PowerPoint directly off of Azure? You must be having the most greatest slideshow on earth then.

baatliwala,

You should be safe as long as your master password isn’t small, less than 15 characters. The longer the password, the better. Personally what I do is use a pass phrase to make it easily memorable, and then use it as a base to inflate security somewhat artificially.

Wrap the pass phrase around in brackets or symbols; mix lower/upper case; replace (or add to) a word in your pass phrase with one from a random other language, so instead of hello you type bonjour. Bonus points if you are able to replace even a few letters in your pass phrase with fancy diacritics, or fuck it add an emoji or two.

Then again there are a LOT of other factors which go into security. Theoretically the lyrics of song are decent as a pass phrase but there’s not much point if everyone knows what your favourite song is, or if you are learning Spanish then you’ll replace the English words with Spanish.

Unless you’re in a position where you’re targeted by nations or are working extremely high profile jobs like CEO or digital security you should be safe really with all these but as I said there’s a lot to keep in mind.

baatliwala,

2FA is in the name, 2 factor authentication. A “factor” can be considered as proof that you are who you are. The more the factors provided, the more concrete proof the system has that the user is legitimate.

What a factor is is a more complicated. It can be broadly put in 3 categories (there’s more but we’ll ignore for now) :

  • something you know, like a PIN/password
  • something you are, like biometrics/eye scanning
  • something you have, like an ATM card or phone

The 2FA you are thinking of is probably the 1st (a password you know) + a PIN sent to or generated by something you have (a phone). If the 2nd pin was some you had created by memory like a password rather than a remote system generated one then it would be considered same as the first factor, it wouldn’t be multi factor.

So yeah it’s important that you keep both factors as secure as possible. A good password + a phone to generate TOTPs. I mean theoretically you can keep a password of ABC and keep 2FA on so hackers wouldn’t be able to get into your system but let’s follow best practices yeah? Use a password generator to make complex passwords for a login and enable 2FA.

I’m not an expert but in theory it doesn’t sound like a bad thing as long as you allow people to change it whenever possible. It feels like people change jobs, phone numbers, usernames, locations, genders, names and yet it’s extremely unlikely that they will out and out delete their old email address so it’s always something to personally identify someone by. And of course it’s always going to be unique unless you’re 0.0001% of the population who fuck around with self hosting email or something.

baatliwala,

Lemmy itself! Can’t say what because I’ll doxx myself since I’m doing the fixes under my IRL name but yeah it’s nice contributing.

baatliwala,

The prequels were memed because they were awful (except episode 3 which I will still maintain is better than episode 6) but somehow perception warped to make people think they were good or okay at best. The first 2 are terrible.

baatliwala,

Is it just me or does McAfee kind of look like Frank Woods here

baatliwala,

How is OP Open shaping up to be their best phone in years? Surprising they’re smashing it with this one

baatliwala, (edited )

For video hosting? Good luck, that’s almost certainly never going to happen. There is not one single competitor to Youtube even from corporations, there is no way any decentralised solution will work long term, especially not if you are expecting features like 4k or 60fps+ content.

‘Archer’s’ Final Mission: Sterling and His Frenemies Sign Off After 142 Episodes of Awful Behavior. We Will Miss Them. (variety.com)

I first heard about FX’s “Archer” in the ready room of VAQ-135, a navy squadron who were serving an interminable deployment aboard an aircraft carrier somewhere near Midway Island. (This sounds very much like a humblebrag that Sterling Archer would obnoxiously drop into conversation). It was 2010, and the pilots had lost...

baatliwala,

Only the first two coma seasons were bad. Pre coma is fantastic and everything from the last coma season onwards might not have consistent highs as good as the earlier ones but they are definitely worth watching and I would even go as far as to call them… good.

baatliwala,

The phone is going to be around for 7 years. I am sure the last 2 features will come back at some point as they seem to be software limitations and not hardware.

Conspiracy hat on, maybe they were removed on purpose so Google can say actually say they are adding meaningful features over a 7 year lifespan 👀

The reason for Android's Notification system being better than iOS, is solely due to the ability to turn off individual aspects of an application's notifications.

Google, the poor multi-billion dollar scrappy startup that maintains Android, made a payment app that has one notification setting, "Google Pay". So all the ads, promotions, everything.

3rd party apps like PhonePe & Paytm have a better system.

How do you manage to maintain this OS?

baatliwala,

Some channels are dynamic, so theoretically it could be a calls channel for each different person calling.

That said I feel like I have seen an issue similar to yours for many different apps which use dynamic channels so I think this is due to poor coding and not malicious behaviour.

baatliwala,

What’s the point of keeping a feature as experimental for over 5 years? It was more relevant when Daydream and Cardboard were a thing and I have not heard one single person mention this feature as a plus point for buying a Pixel. Nobody cares about it now and the feature works like ass in the modern day.

wired.co.uk/…/windows-10-pirated-games-microsoft

Maybe you can you remind me what happened to this? Literally everyone who ran pirated games had their software disabled right? Right???

Stop trying to spread FUD for something they are not going to do. They’re just covering they’re asses as well as they legally can.

baatliwala,

They can’t even consistently get people to pay for one time and they’re expecting a subscription? Lol they’re massively out of touch.

baatliwala,

I would rather stab myself in the eyeballs than use GIMP. It’s never the way and never will be.

baatliwala,

Start of an era for Android hopefully, especially with EU’s replaceable batteries law coming up. This is what OEMs should copy and not dumb shit done by Apple.

baatliwala,

Seems this includes apps like Discord so makes sense, but 4500 still sounds insane.
