World News@quokk.au•China will not tolerate independence for Taiwan, Xi tells island's opposition leader
2·1 day agoWho happen to be bodies in one person on at least one instance.
Had manager that wanted us to return error codes on a field of an API response along with an HTTP 200 because “errors bad”. It needed a few of us to make him understand how that worked against common design patterns and you still had to handle error codes since you didn’t know if the error would be coming from the app, web server, api gateway, local network (no internet), etc.
They are easy to read and were some people’s introduction to fantasy/fiction (not everything is as dull as school assignments) and a set of shared experiences growing up.

Enshittification@slrpnk.net•Amazon thanks loyal Kindle devotees by bricking their kit
5·1 day agoIt literally says they won’t be able to be registered after a factory reset. That’s a ticking time bomb for anyone that might not be aware.

41·1 day agoExcept it hasn’t, and they are still functional. If anything they could have disabled WiFi to remove an exploit vector if they were out of support but retained the USB functions, but they promise to brick them on factory reset instead.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game
1·5 days agoIt would be nice if its both (drop down with default to the best guess of your hardware).
No longer would you have to believe nvidia or amd, you can lookup real numbers from existing players. They will need to account for fsr and dlss so fake frames are taken into account but it could be a nice tool for planning hardware updates.
Raspberry PI 4 MSRP when introduced (2019): $35 (1 GB) $45 (2 GB) $55 (4 GB) $75 (8 GB)
Raspberry PI 5 MSRP when introduced (2023): $45 (1GB - added later) $50 (2 GB) $60 (4 GB) $80 (8 GB) $120 (16 GB)
The 5 while claiming 2x performance was considered to be the start of offering no value for many users since it started above $100 for the 16 GB model, which many small form factor used PCs from EBay could surpass in performance for projects that required no GPIO (like self hosting apps).
Before 2020 each new generation would offer a performance and memory boost at similar prices to the previous.

Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 11’s push for mandatory Microsoft accounts is hitting a nerve with users who say the change complicates setup, privacy, and basic PC ownershipEnglish
1·10 days agoI always thought of Macs as not a good value before, but nowadays for laptops at least they seem to be relatively good.
I still find them annoyingly unintuitive, but that’s probably due to lack of experience. At least they come with some (old) version of bash and support standard stuff like ssh out of the box from my understanding.
“Don’t reccommend channel” from the options next to the video.

Programming•Why Oracle APEX Is Still One of the Most Underrated Tools for Enterprise Apps
4·11 days agoI remember a similar experience. So much time was wasted just keeping some small app limping along with security patches because no one knew or wanted to know how it worked.
Pair that with oracle’s notoriously useless support which always required you to be on the latest patch before even providing an answer and it made the decision to leave it in the rearview mirror the easiest part of some modernization effort.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Some US car buyers envy what they cannot have - affordable Chinese EVs
1·19 days agoMy point was that american companies have in the past on purpose designed cars, washing machines, etc. to fail so you need to buy another one in some years. Both EVs and ICE cars at ford, GM, etc. adhere to the same leadership and company goals regardless of how they spin it.
Ford was known for letting a failed known design flaw kill people in the past since they ran the numbers and it was cheaper to battle people in court (a topic in ethics classes). Once the trust is gone, it’s hard to get it back.

1·19 days agoWe do know the reliability of american cars though. We dont buy american cars any longer on our extended family.
Interference engine paired with a timing belt that touches oil so they can blame you for “not doing maintenance” when it snaps and implodes the drivetrain? GTFO.
Let whatever shitty OS wants to add that garbage do it themselves. Also, legislators should SystemDeezNutz!
They were not profitable though, you can only do that for so long before you fold and then no one gets anything.
I probably should mention I’m on bazzite, so a lot of things just work out of the gate, not sure about other distros.
They work out of the box, but the firmware updater is what’s windows only (pro 2 and pro 3 at least). Not even a MacOS version of the firmware tool.
The larger issue I found with them was that hollow knight and silksong didn’t capture the triggers properly on their Linux version making them unplayable. Also the games would crash once in a while. You have to run the windows version with proton to get a solid experience. I read it was due to outdated Linux input libraries used by unity or whatever game engine it uses.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What unofficial / fun names are there for monuments where you live?
2·29 days agoWe are more basic and stick to “penis tower”. A true to life embodiment of capitalism.







Probably would need the bike to be almost exclusively made out of indigenous leather. Even in the place where the thing was patented it is known.
