darknessblade got a reaction from DeerDK in Bundesnetzagentur requires provider to supply telecommunications services (Germany) 10 mbit download 1.7 mbit upload
I think this is to force providers to upgrade their network, especially in area's where they only give dial-up internet

darknessblade got a reaction from Lurick in I Built the Slowest Brand New PC and it Sucks.
At MAX 300$ even something like a minisforum UN100L
https://store.minisforum.com/products/minisforum-un100l-1
Which cost 180$ is a much billion times of a better deal than that E-waste PC.
{I have the UN100C, which is near identical in specs} and it is quite decent for windows/basic office usage/light gaming.
Though with a TDP of at most 15W under normal use, and max 9W when underclocked, its perfect for a home-assistant server.
Please note for some strange reason the UN100C is discontinued. not sure what the reason is.
Especially with it being smaller and taking up less space than the Un100L. it would be a better bang for the buck system.

darknessblade got a reaction from da na in A 1 Petabit DVD-like disc has been created
Not forgetting they often want you to buy at least 1000+ pieces, and get a expensive service contract as well.
essentially locking out the end-user from ever getting these drives NEW.
Most of these cardridges are also made to be written once or twice, then put in a climate controlled storage room, only accessed when you need the data. which then it is faster to copy everything than to look for that 1 specific 1GB image you created XXX years ago.

darknessblade reacted to silajim in Apple and the EU - TalkLInked Feb. 19, 2024
Hi, as an EU member I asked the European commission when the malicious compliance first came on, I received this answer a few days ago:
Seems like they will not allow apple get away with it.

Not to be a downer, but the X is upside down. The intersecting line should be above the middle not below.
The logo in the membership card above shows what I mean.

One benefit with smart-plugs when using it with 3D printers, is that when you put a Camera on the printer you can remote shut-down the printer in case it goes wrong, and it starts printing in the air/creating a GLOPTOP.

Summary
Appliances giant Haier issued a takedown notice to a software developer for creating Home Assistant integration plugins for the company's home appliances and releasing them on GitHub.

My thoughts
This is nothing but a scummy move from a company that doesn't like local integrations for devices, and wants users to pay a large monthly fee, to use their devices they legally bought and own.
They want FULL control, and want to milk as much data from their consumers as they can. not forgetting that if you offend them in any way they can remote shut down your devices you legally own
There is a reason why open standards like Matter, threads or Zigbee should exist, and manufacturers are forced to use them. its to prevent hundreds of walled garden apps for each smarthome device.
Like with homeassistant you have 1 app for all your devices, not 100 because the manufacturer couldn't be bothered to combine it into one app. and that it does not force a always online DRM cloud subscription to use your device trough your smartphone.

darknessblade got a reaction from mr moose in US ITC Bans Apple Watch Imports
If apple wants to ban devices from their competitors from fbeing imported that violate "THEIR" patents
https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/apple-fails-in-bid-for-emergency-import-ban-of-htc-phones/
https://appadvice.com/appnn/2010/01/apple-gets-back-at-nokia-requests-us-import-ban-on-nokia-phones
They should not complain if the same happens to them when they violate a patent.

darknessblade got a reaction from aminit in I Scammed Myself on eBay - $300 Mystery Crate
Fun fact, those rezerators like in the video are quite popular for people who have a small lasercutter that needs to be watercooled.
Since they are a all in 1 solution, they are easy to use and quick to install [if they are clean]

darknessblade got a reaction from Forbidden Wafer in Lucid dream startup says people can work in their sleep
The moment I read the title I immediately thought of this:
They will claim its for a good cause like allowing you to work in your sleep, but eventually it will turn into them sending subliminal information into your unconscious brain to buy or shill for certain products.
