Interesting, thanks!

How do they do that without sending your actual passwords somewhere off your device, or downloading the full list of hacked passwords?

I think you’re missing something here; in the UK we also talk about pre-tax income.

It’s important in lots of ways, for example you choose how much to pay into your pension, and you get tax relief on that.

If you just talk about post-tax income you would miss the enormous difference between someone who is on £54,350 and pays the minimum 8% into a pension (£50k taxable) and someone on £62,500 who pays 20% into a pension (£50k taxable). The second person is a lot better off overall, because they have saved £12,500 in their pension and the first person has saved £4,350, which compounds pretty quickly.

Sadly I think in the next 5 years, as LLMs get cheaper and more accessible, there will be nowhere left like this. Nowhere that you can have an anonymous old school conversation using a text interface with the expectation that you are talking to real people.

Maybe there will be some magic anti-AI tech, but I can’t think of a way you could implement that without trashing anonymity.

If Lemmy was as popular as Reddit it would get flooded with bots and turn to shit in no time

Did you read the article? It’s all interesting but unrelated to the title.

Does it? Person leaning forwards with chin on hands is hardly a rare pose. This whole article is about nothing, don’t waste your time.

Where did you see the photo?

I agree although presumably when you add more devices and types of signal you can build a much richer picture without 3 access points.

For example, in my living room I have a cordless landline, Bluetooth soundbar speaker, WiFi access point, a fixed media box that uses WiFi. Presumably you could build a picture from the interference patterns of these different types of device, which are all on similar frequencies (2.4GHz ish).

It’s basically a big hair dryer, there’s a big fan in it

I have an electric leaf blower, it’s pretty loud and you can definitely hear it >5m away, in fact you could probably hear it several hundred metres away. I do agree they are less disturbing overall though.

What kind of place do you live, are you in the countryside? Weirdly they are more visible in towns because the ones there DGAF; country foxes are sneaky but I’ve still seen them a few times.

Member base in which country? There are plenty of bigoted Catholics around the world.

This is a good thing though, slow progress is still progress.

Are you drying spaghetti in the oven? So interesting, I’ve never seen anything like that before! Is the oven on or just being used for the space?

In the UK we usually just type in the post code and that’s enough to get you within visual range of the place you’re looking for. The map has some built in post codes but not all of them, but I discovered you can import a complete dataset into osmand as points of interest which improves the post code search massively.

The repository with the tools to build the postcode POI file is here: https://github.com/hvdwolf/OsmAnd-UKpostcodes/

But you can also download a pre-built one from here: https://github.com/hvdwolf/OsmAnd-UKpostcodes/releases/download/202102/UK_postcodes_poi_europe.obf.zip

Isn’t that where Jar Jar Binks is from?

He used the USB port on the samsung phone to connect an old blackberry keyboard, via a custom made PCB.

That is so ridiculous 😂

Surely that can’t be true?!

I picked one of these up around 2015 and used it as my main phone for ~2 years. It’s a cool phone and I had a great time messing around with it.

Unfortunately the hardware is just into up to modern requirements - old modem means bad signal, old WiFi standard, really low RAM, very slow processor. The browser was barely usable even with an adblocker.

Sadly the Neo900 never got off the ground.
