ThatMedicIsASpyon Google, Meta and Microsoft to stop showing political ads in the EU

The worst form of physical ads in Germany. A slogan or a face and the party name printed on paper and hung up on the streets everywhere. So wasteful.

ThatMedicIsASpyon Who owns Express VPN, Nord, Surfshark? VPN relationships explained (2024)

ISPs bad routing and peering

ThatMedicIsASpyon OpenAI Is Just Another Boring, Desperate AI Startup

They changed the video game dota2 permanently. Their bots could not control a shared unit (courier) among themselves so bot matches against their AI had special rules like everyone having their own. Not long after the game was changed forever.

As a player for over 20 years this will be a core memory of OpenAI. Along with not living up to the name.

ThatMedicIsASpyon Google to merge Android and ChromeOS in 2026

Touch and Linux is still a terrible experience (vs W8/W10). Windows 11 replaces the useful W10 gesture (edge screen swipe) for win+tab with a widget for ads so I have no hopes in MS

ThatMedicIsASpyon Wanted to spy on my dog, ended up spying on TP-Link

As a MikroTik user. Do not start unless you know your ways around networking. And if you do prepare some time to get used to it. Once you do it isn't hard but the onboarding and having 20-40 options for everything you can do is confusing.

ThatMedicIsASpyon KDE launches its own distribution

A lot of symbols can be accessed with Alt Gr compared to Windows

ThatMedicIsASpyon Nvidia DGX Spark

Expensive today. But how quickly (years) will these systems lower in value? At least on the Nvidia side of things they can be stacked.. so maybe not so much =/

ThatMedicIsASpyon YouTube made AI enhancements to videos without warning or permission

As a consumer they are the most hostile platform to consume a video the way I want. Not the way they want me to. I am also required to use an adblocker to disable all shorts.

ThatMedicIsASpyon Debian 13 “Trixie”

I've been always a Fedora person, still am. But my PC moved to Proxmox (debian) in 2023. Now a Fedora Atomic sits in a VM running flatpaks and podman containers :D

ThatMedicIsASpyon Study mode

Also since I was testing a weather API I was suspicious of ChatGPTs result. I would not expect weather data from a month in the future. That is why I asked Deepseek in the first place.

ThatMedicIsASpyon Study mode

ChatGPT: a month in the future

Deepseek: Today at 1:00

What time is {unix timestamp2}

ChatGPT: a month in the future +1min

Deepseek: Today at 1:01, this time is 5min after your previous timestamp

Sure let me trust these results...

ThatMedicIsASpyon I hacked my washing machine

Or just pay 10€ for an ikea plug (INSPELNING). I do not understand people always paying a x10 premium for eve.

ThatMedicIsASpyon How to Make Websites That Will Require Lots of Your Time and Energy

I make choices one of that is build a website in php. I do things from scratch so it involved learning the server, the setup (security/docker/podman), the stack (php/js/css/html). My limits made me do things. The code was and is ugly. Everything is a mess. There is no routing my URLs are pretty because of nginx rewrites. My limits make design choices like no user data because I cannot be sure about security. Once it is up and running you look at things like bootstrap to learn basics of css. Then you want it all gone because you learned the way of css.

I have no problem with sql but an ORM makes what I know about sql very ugly.
