echodot, to asklemmy in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

A Nokia Ngage , it was a Gameboy phone combo

Last time in my life that I was cool.

echodot, to gaming in You know what? I'll just wait...

In the past inflation was seen as a bad thing and destabilizing to an economy so governments put actual effort into making it go down. The easiest way to do that is to keep employee wages in line with inflation, but at some point someone, probably with an R next to their name, decided that that was evil socialism, and so shouldn’t be done.

So now inflation goes up and the government just sits there and goes “oh nothing we can do”.

But you see covid was a conspiracy by the government to inject nanobots into you, while also been a virus produced by 5G towers. It’s all perfectly logical.

I don’t keep the subscriptions that’s the point.

The lack of content is really bothering me.

Disney plus is the absolute worst there’s nothing on that platform for like 9 months of the year. Then they’ll have an interesting program (usually Star wars related) you can binge and then nothing for another 9 months.

echodot, to opensource in Raspberry Pi is now manufacturing 70,000 Pi 5s per week, will surge to 90,000 in February

Wouldn’t you just use a cheap lithium ion battery I’m not sure why you go for a lead acid.

echodot, (edited ) to historyporn in Secret service agents moments after the 1981 assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan.

If it was a TV show set in the 1980s and it depicted a scene that look like that you’d say it was unrealistic. That is the most 80s photo I’ve ever seen everything about it is so stereotypical of action movies of the time.

I just love the fact that the US secret service used Uzi’s, a weapon that has always been about form over function I know it works, but there are much better options.

echodot, to privacyguides in UK proposes selfie-based, AI age verification system for porn sites

simply connect it to a facial recognition database (I understand the UK are quite fond of such)

Yeah but that doesn’t mean they work.

echodot, to asklemmy in Why is such a tunnel needed?

Wouldn’t that be California?

echodot, to privacy in Plex starts narcing on its own users' anime and X-rated habits with an opt-out service, and it's going terribly

It’s not really degrading functionality there is it. It’s a feature that no one wants and is annoying and badly thought out but you can turn it off but they haven’t disabled any functionality to add this feature

echodot, to privacy in Police across Britain equipped with live facial recognition bodycams

Hopefully Reform split the brainless idiot vote in cause chaos.

He also had some oil drilling licenses for sale.

echodot, (edited ) to risa in Do they ever work at all?

Tea Earl Gray hot, in a pint glass.

echodot, to risa in Space is 2D, right?

The ships can land and take off at least some of them can but they don’t fly around in the atmosphere they just go up and down they’re either on the ground or they’re in space but they can’t really manoeuvre.

Except for that one episode of Voyager where they just kind of forgot about that, but I think that was hand-waved away by saying that they just made the shields into a bubble and so essentially from the air’s perspective the ship was a sphere. That’s apparently what the shuttlecraft do too, which is why they fall like a brick whenever they’re shot down.

echodot, to piracy in Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs.

They’ve also said they’re not going to do physical DVD releases anymore.
