nuodag··on Apple Business
I also organised this process at work, and it went rather well, (300ppl 10 year old), but of course no one had health data connected under the company domain, thats a crazy idea and it’s probably good apple enforces that to be deleted / moved / disentangled.

It is also clearly described how to move an account that is used privately to a different domain / mail.

nuodag··on Colon cancer now leading cause of cancer deaths under 50 in US
You’re probably right but it’s also true that that is a very (probably unintended) cruel worldview that thought to the end claims all those suffering had it coming, and as such deserves to be called out and those having it should reconsider.
nuodag··on Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS
unfortunately every single Motorola phone is ridiculously large
nuodag··on Google is using YouTube videos to train its AI video generator
Yes, and a way out of that is open source, where you aren't a customer…
nuodag··on T * sin (t)' ≈ Ornamented Christmas Tree (2013)
usually a bunch of lights are wired in series, if one burns out all stay dark.

Find and replace the broken one, and all light again!

nuodag··on Beekeepers halt honey awards over fraud in global supply chain
My Grandpa is a beekeeper, i help him take care of his hives. The honey i get out of that crystallises quickly to a relatively rough texture, and has a deep taste. It is a completely different thing than what you get in the store.

I don’t know if that one is adulterated, or just processed so much that it is all flat and smooth.

nuodag··on Sam Altman Says AI Using Too Much Energy Will Require Breakthrough Energy Source
Just run your AGI during the day and suspend it at night?

Also makes it easier to fight when it turns evil

nuodag··on End of servicing plan for third-party printer drivers on Windows
if you have me a reg key or something that enables automatic driver install but disables app install i’d be thankful, i was searching for that but never could find it
nuodag··on Fairphone 3 gets seven years of updates, besting every other Android OEM
Oh wow, this seems much better than Samsung, they promise 5 years of security updates, but after the first year or so only every six months.
nuodag··on iVentoy
This looks very cool, but no secure boot means i won’t be able to use it at work.

(from the faq:)

> Does iVentoy support secure boot?

> NO. In UEFI mode you must disable secure boot in the BIOS before use iVentoy

nuodag··on Defamed by ChatGPT
> if they don’t repeat the claim.

well seems they did, else we wouldn’t have heard about it

nuodag··on If we lose the Internet Archive, we’re screwed
> I am so sick and tired of the copyright laws that play counter to productive creation and stymying efforts to preserve anything.

If you think about how cruel it is to make illegal the way human culture has worked for millenia, to listen to the storys you hear, retell them, remix them and make them your own in a new context. That is against the law now.

nuodag··on New F-Droid repository format for faster and smaller updates
I had the impression it very much depends on the OS, on stock Android it definitely feels broken, with clicking ten times to update an app that just gets stuck, on Lineageos with MicroG and privileged F-Droid extensions its super smooth with autoupdates and everything.
nuodag··on Microsoft Teams Premium: powered by OpenAI’s GPT-3.5
And if you collaborate with someone from another company you have a guest account there, which is somewhat derived from your main one, but also independent
nuodag··on Apple GPU drivers now in Asahi Linux
You can just order body parts from Lenovo (true, probably not for t420 anymore) or third party resellers, or just take them from another one.

And there are a lot of Thinkpad service partners stores, mainly for business customers, I bring around 1-3 Thinkpads a month there for repair (we have ours close by).

nuodag··on CT scan shows there's still lots of toner left in an “empty” cartridge
If you have a Samsung laserprinter with number pad and empty toner / imaging unit try menu # 1904 menu and reset the counter, then happily print thousands of pages more
nuodag··on Deutsche Bahn’s Meltdown and High-Speed Rail
Yes, they are doing exactly that, having a normal electric train which has batteries under the cars (no extra waggon) for 40-200km of not electrified track. It’s for regional trains though with lower energy needs (and because non electrified long distance tracks really make no sense).

Linking German Wikipedia because it has long history of them and current projects,

nuodag··on I reviewed the $20k trash cans SF is testing. Here’s what I found
Berlin also had a trash problem. But it got better when they decided to standardise on a really cheap bright orange trashcan and really flooded the town with those. You see them everywhere in the city, and especially in inner city you might see 15, so whatever you have in your hand the easiest is to just step to the bright orange thing and throw it inside.

Before usually they had also metal ones that needed construction to mount in the ground, those current ones the trash workers can just metal ziptie to lampposts and if one breaks they have a new one in their car.

nuodag··on Ask HN: What's the best RSS feed reader on Android?
Doesn't seem to be updated anymore, but i'm happy with flym from fdroid
nuodag··on Lenovo announces the first Arm-based ThinkPad
Not in this market. We're usually buying thinkads in bunches of 20 every few months, and are struggling to get any (decent ones), never mind 50% off.
nuodag··on Russian forces invade Ukraine after Putin orders attack
I don't know the current situation, hopefully someone else can tell you that. But the good thing is Ukrainians can travel ( with a biometric Passport) to EU for 90 days and then see further.

One good travel Option (was, but I think should be still, AFAIK only planes stopped because they could be shot down) to travel by train to Lviv, take a taxi to Przemysl in Poland for maybe 50€ worth, and then take a train from there to for example Berlin.

All the best to your friend and his family.

nuodag··on Why I will never buy another Samsung device
Dont do that. You have to speak to the merchant, as they are your legal contract partner and you can demand they fix it. Not Samsung or your bank. This is a horrible advice
nuodag··on Why I will never buy another Samsung device
Years ago I worked in customer support for samsung for a bit. Yeah, sounds about right, I'm not gonna buy customer electronics or household appliances from them either. Don't get me started on planned obscolescence. (Components like SSDs or the LEDs (different part of conglomerate) are fine probably, can't say about the submarines) Since OPs pictures had German notes: Just ask the merchant, he has to fix your stuff, (even if foldable phones are stupid), Samsung sends you away because their warranty is voluntary in the first place and - I believe - just there to confuse people.
nuodag··on 'Arthur,' the longest-running kids animated series, is ending
But its not really animated. The outer / framing parts are with puppets, the inner parts can be in different styles
nuodag··on USB-C is about to go from 100W to 240W, enough to power beefier laptops
I spend years explaining to my family that its not a catastrophe if they can't find their phone charger, it's micro USB, see, just take this one from the drawer, it doesn't matter if it says Samsung or Sony, if it fits it will work.

They were right being mistrusting apparently.

nuodag··on Nvidia announces mining GPUs, cuts the hash rate of RTX-3060 in half
And i suspect this is one of the reasons Nvidia is doing this. Market Segmentation -> Sell two cards instead of one that gets resold on ebay
nuodag··on Robinhood apparently selling people's shares ”for their own good“
Especially when the person posting the pictures at the same time advertises for competing brokerages a bit of skepticism is advised
nuodag··on Elon Musk to offer $100M prize for 'best' carbon capture tech
You can store the trees in houses and other construction where concrete is used now, emitting lots of CO2 in its production.

nuodag··on January Update: Happy New Gear
> Some of you will surely be excited to learn that the Quartz64 model-A will also feature a dedicated e-ink panel interface capable of supporting a capacitive pen. We will have a 10” e-ink display available in the Pine Store at the time the Quartz64 boards launch

That sounds great, i long wanted to build an e-ink computer
