The house I live in is all brick walls and my 12-year-old phone (Sony Xperia Z) has connectivity issues just 5 m and one wall away, RSSI of -70 dBm and below unless in specific places and orientations. Radios have improved quite a bit since.

Been to Strasbourg. Never again.

I’d imagine the government but Trump will take credit for it and use it to justify spending more of its money at his resorts

There are 3 main forms of IP: patents (not relevant here), copyright and trademarks. Without consent of the holder, copyright only runs out on a time basis but what you’re calling IP falls into the “trademark” category, which don’t run out if continuously used by the holder. Some trademarks have become genericized and therefore invalid but this is a concern with product names, not fictional characters. There is no precedent in which fanon became so popular it overruled a trademark, because it can’t be published officially (it is easy to sue a single artist, it’s impossible to stop millions of people from calling any moving stairs “escalators” despite the former OTIS trademark).

Did you mean fanon “so different a trademark doesn’t apply”? That would be a different character entirely.

It’s pretty old. Feddit.de was replaced with feddit.org a while ago.

Yes but you have to scan an ID so they know whose insurance premium to bump.

Still up on the website:

Werewolf Cream Glazing

Ingredients

• puff pastry sheets, 1 package
• puff pastry sheets, 1 package
• puff pastry sheets, 1 package
• werewolf-harvested honey, 1/4 cup
• water, 2 tbsp
• werewolf-vanilla extract, 1 tsp
• cream provided by 14 werewolf boyfriends, 1/2 cup
• werewolf cream glaze, To coat

I’d expect each of the 14 boyfriends to deliver more than 10 ml of cream, but who am I to judge?

I don’t see why a hub shouldn’t be able to supply power… it will disable PD modes and limit everything to 5V though

Just make sure to use it on 5V-only chargers. You can glue it to one of them.

Seriously, if you’re working with analog electronics, 𝛑=√1̅0̅ is close enough. If you need more precision, use active error correction, and in the 21st century that’s easiest to do digitally anyway.

It’s too long for a comment but I made a Markdown copy in a post here: https://feddit.org/post/10009622

They are keeping around so many deprecated features for internal use and whatnot, I would be surprised if they did remove this registry check.

Until Windows 12 is released, you can always use an old ISO and then update to the newest version.

The command (C:\Windows\System32\) OOBE\bypassnro (.cmd) one types into the command prompt (after opening it with Shift+F10) for the bypass is the location of a batch file they will be removing (the parenthesized parts are optional, implied by the command interpreter, and so is any capitalization). You can still do whatever it’s doing (adding a registry key and restarting) by typing the command manually or providing a copy of the file on a USB drive. After a restart, the OS will check for the registry key AND lack of internet connection to provide the local account option.

For the record, the contents of the file are

@echo off
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
shutdown /r /t 0

The first line is optional, and so is the third if you’re OK with restarting manually. If creating the file on Unix-based systems, make sure the newline sequence is CRLF (DOS/Windows standard).

Obligatory shoutout to literally any Linux distro, which does not need this workaround, and is usually easier to install and set up than debloating a fresh Windows 11 install.

DMs had their uses, for example RemindMeBot cannot work over chat because there is no API.

Speaking of API, I don’t think there’s one for the chat, so removing DMs will greatly reduce the capabilities of RemindMeBot etc.

Not much work really, but few companies want their spaghetti code seen publicly.

They want an encrypted comms channel they can invite any of their oligarch friends into. There is no encryption strong enough to solve the problem with this premise.

Do you think entire forums are dedicated to degoogling Google Pixels because people happily brick their perfect fine phones? Yes, some Pixels were bricked during the development of GrapheneOS but many more will live longer thanks to a sleek, lightweight OS with life-extending security updates, not to mention the other advantages.
