I mean yeah, they understand what breaks, but without crunching the numbers they won’t know much of anything useful about failure rates. Anecdotal data is still anecdotal even at larger volumes until you properly analyst it.

This doesn’t work though because they’re not analysts. The brands they see broken the most are simply the top selling or top used brands by volume. I think the most repaired washing machine is Speed Queen or something - a commercial brand that based on a nieve read of the number is constantly breaking… except those things run constantly at laundromats, so are actually super reliable!

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•BentoPDF is a self hostable, privacy first PDF Toolkit
1·4 months agoI just installed this via Docker Compose and it looks good! Very similar to PDF24 but open source and more polished.
Only a couple comments - first, bentopdf/bentopdf-simple is definitely the image you want since the other has marketing for companies.
And then a tiny nitpick, but why isn’t “Full Width Mode” the default? It comes disabled which displays PDFs in narrow little boxes where you can’t see the full page width at a readable size.
Anyway, thank you! Very useful and super easy to setup.
Um good to know it’s not a concern since we can just blame the kids lead poisoning on the city?
Mmk… Well if you look at the actual data you’ll see that you’re mistaken. Chicago alone has hundreds of thousands of homes with lead service lines:

Huh? Have you heard of a city called Chicago?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I am attempting to get into Selfhosting after a shockingly frightening experience, but I am very lost.
21·7 months agoIt may be for beginners, but this is not written by or for normal people! The “Why Build Your Own Sovereign Cloud” intro literally starts explaining how modems work and twisted pair wires…
Its very much written for somebody who wants to nerd out and fixate on the technical underpinnings of everything, not your average friend who wants to replace Google Photos.

AI@lemmy.ml•I Can Spot AI Writing Instantly — Here’s How You Can Too
2·9 months agoI would argue that your “enhanced” sentence is even MORE typical of AI. The first sounds like the style of a standard news article with a little corporate-speak, while the second is straight up head-of-marketing internal memo style.
Regardless, I agree that AI-detection can’t really be automated or codified. But I don’t think it matters. Bad writing is bad writing.
Yep, a Tailscale funnel URL is publicly accessible to anyone who knows it. And while it doesn’t expose your machine’s IP, Jellyfin is exposed publicly. Only the port you configure is reachable, but that doesn’t make it secure in itself - you definitely need more security. I don’t have anything critical on my server so I’m not overly concerned but I still use CSF to block traffic from most every other country and limit abuse.
That’s exactly what the funnel solves - it opens a port on the machine to the web for anyone to see, complete with a URL and automatic https certificate.
I’ve pointed my own subdomain at the URL and then set up strict firewall security of course, but any friend with a username and password can get in.
Nobody here with a tailscale funnel?? It’s such a simple way to get https access from anywhere without being on the tailnet.
Packs a punch vs crunchy but bland?? Are the celebrities the croutons? And is this a common regional saying somewhere? I kind of like it
That’s what I have and it’s great! No exhaust to waste the hot air, just a water outlet/reservoir. It’s maybe a tad slower than a conventions dryer but it still dries an entire load in an hour or less, for way cheaper.
The other factor that makes a massive difference is having a washer with a high speed spin cycle. Mine is 1200 rpm but I’ve seen up to 1800 rpm. Even 1200 rpm squeezes out way more water than your typically slow top-load machine.
I in fact DID click the links and change the filters on the tool to test the europe sites. Try it yourself next time.
And sorry but no, the Guardian, The Verge, and AP news, etc do not provide the same products. I simply choose to accept the reality we live in and deal with it.
From Europe they’re actually better than the other news sites you list here. Either way, I’m using ad-blocking, DNS filtering, and I do general browsing like this in a separate browser that wipes everything on exit sooo 🤷 saves you from worrying about this stuff or even thinking about it much.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Questions about switching from iOS to GrapheneOS
10·1 year agoGraphene likes to push the use of user profiles (just called “users” in the OS) but I find that to be a trash experience myself. Instead, you can enable work/personal profiles right within the single user account and keep sandboxed Google Play and the apps requiring it all within the work profile. You can restrict location and other permissions for Google and don’t even need to log it in for it to work. You just need the Island or Insular app to enable profiles.
The Google camera app works perfectly for great photos with the pixel hardware and last I checked it doesn’t even require network access or Goodie Play - except it won’t embed GPS in photos without Google.
As you can probably guess, the amount of data Google gets will really depend on your setup! I like to use NextDNS to further filter connections. (Pihole might be better but it’s more effort.)
Regarding seedvault, you can have it save to a webdav location, Nextcloud, or directly on the phone. If saving on the phone you could just have SyncThing or something similar auto sync the file to another device.
Maybe not what you’re looking for, but I use Asahi Linux on an old M1 MacBook Air and it’s quite nice. I bought it used for $480 last year.
