Israel is sowing the seeds of revenge in the Palestinian population.

The list of desperate persons that don't have anything to lose anymore is growing rapidly

Cloud storage/backup in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

If you make a backup with a tool like Borg that creates encrypted archives, then using AWS S3 glacier is the cheapest.

What's bad about it: if you ever need those files again, it's going to be VERY expensive to download them again, so it has to be treated as the "what if a nuke hits my city and all the local and off-site backups are vaporized" solution

Also: it's not recommended to directly host plain files, they need to be in an archive format with big chunks, as the API calls that are used to list them during sync are counted in a very expensive way

Google Tensor G4 fails to outscore Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and barely beats Tensor G3 in 3DMark Wild Life Extreme in c/[email protected]

The main advantage of using custom silicon is that you can decide the naming and so you deceive users that the minor 0.1 update is a full generation advance

Kinda like I saw someone saying "apple skipped A17 for the iPhone 16 and gave the faster A18" - they're in charge of the naming and they can easily decide that A18 = A17

Selfhosted S3 compatible recommendations? in c/[email protected]

Ah maybe I was missing the ./ , it said garage not found on path (on mobile, can't try)

Selfhosted S3 compatible recommendations? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (5 children)

I set garage via docker and it was not impossibly hard.

Main problem is that there isn't an admin panel and you can't login to the docker container via docker exec, so you have to write some python (or other language of your choice) to send requests to the API port to:

  1. Set the layout of your server
  2. Create an user
  3. Create a bucket
  4. Assign that bucket to your user

Technically, it still is illegal to sell electronics without CE certification

Although a headline like "3 cubic meters of worthless famiclones have been seized" isn't as strong

a figure which includes the value of the consoles and hundreds of licenses for the pirated programs.

So it's just 12k consoles with 4000 pirated ROMs inside

Actual value is €300k, not 50 millions

Not having a certification doesn't mean it's not compliant.

It's probably compliant, but they didn't want to pay €50k to get it certified

'Parasitic' IPTV Piracy is Killing Football, "It's Them or Us" Says Serie A CEO. in c/[email protected]

It makes sense

In the serie A let me see what they can do with that money... Uhm the Juventus can't even pay for Dusan Vlahovic (he gets €12 million - net per season)

Could this be an anti-piracy attempt? in c/[email protected]

What if the apps are installed via adb using

pm install -i "com.android.vending" /sdcard/yourapp.apk

?

For the system then the app has been installed from the play store

Or it checks online to see if the current user has a (free?) license?

is there is any Matrix channels that is related to piracy? in c/[email protected]

No matter on which country the iot device it's made, giving internet access to them in military bases is madness. IOT must be on a separate VLAN without any internet access. No exceptions, they're usually running buggy firmware based on ancient Linux versions and no updates are ever released or installed. They're exploitable time bombs

People that bought Resident Evil iOS ports are pissed that now there's a mandatory DRM online check at launch. Punish only the idiot customer who paid $150 and can't play, when pirates laugh at that (www.engadget.com)
 

Many users bought Resident evil for iOS because it was working offline. Perfect for long trips. But a new update adds a mandatory DRM online check at start-up.

I wrote bought, but actually the word is rented. One day Capcom stops updating the games (and this is 100% guaranteed) and a few years later the "owner" gets "This app needs to be updated to run on this iPhone"

Meanwhile, people who pirated a cracked ipa, don't get any issue in playing the game offline. DRM exclusively hurts the paying customers.

OSOM, the company formed from Essential’s ashes, is apparently in shambles (www.androidauthority.com)
 

They made millions thanks to crypto bros buying the Solana phone (rebranded osom with custom ROM), claiming the free shit coins, then sending it to e-waste.

Unfortunately those millions weren't invested in new products but to fund the CEO lifestyle.

I love how the endgame was to trying getting acquired by HP for billions but that failed.

Everyone's (also humane ai pin) trying to get acquired by HP, the ultimate bagholder, expert in overvaluing failed startups

AI PCs made up 14% of quarterly personal computer shipments, Canalys says (www.reuters.com)
 

The share is higher than you would expect because they include all apple devices in them because the apple soc is capable of running ai. Of course who's buying a MacBook it's not doing it because "it's an AI PC". Should have included all gaming PCs then...

The report says Lenovo ai PC shipments went up 228% last quarter. Uh... They put on sale their copilot+ devices on the last week of Q2, then of course at the end of Q3 you have such high percentage. They could have said "10000000000000000000000% yoy increase"

Google sends emails that 100% look like phishing (feddit.it)
 

No, it's not phishing, it's legit, the header match with google and the link goes to https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser/signinchooser?continue=https%3A%2F%2Fadmin.google.com%2Fac%2Fac%2Falert%2Fdetails%3FalertId%3D3...

Why not just write the message there instead of letting me login to watch the important notification?????????????????

Adobe stole my creative suite (feddit.it)

One day many years ago I had too many drinks and being stupid and naive and I bought adobe cs5. I still use it on the same computer I installed it a decade ago. Activated and installed only once. Today they revoked the access to it. Clicking the link they say "revoked because purchased from an untrustworthy reseller"

Yeah... untrustworthy reseller, look at the invoice and see who sold&shipped that physical copy...

sold by adobe themselves

Contacted support, they said that they won't do anything about it because it's EOL.

Moral of the story: don't do like me. If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing. Never give your money to Adobe.

How i can stop this google nag banner to login in third party websites? (feddit.it)
 

In the browser, i didn't login in the google account, and I didn't accept the cookies on that site. Using privacybadger that supposedly should block the 3rd party spyware like that

I love the new sponsored clickbait in my firefox start page (feddit.it)
 

Wow, that's awesome! I was very sad without the clickbait articles. I was staring at Firefox thinking "i wish it had a cluttered start page with clickbait articles and sponsored content like MS Edge" - and then with this new update the devs nailed it! Thanks!

That's really perfect!

"We're committed to release firmware updates to our devices at least until 2026" - says a company that launched a device with a 3 years old version of android. (feddit.it)
 

(it's a tablet in a smartphone form factor, it doesn't have cellular connectivity)

For reference, android 14 was announced 6 months before the launch of this device.

It's a bit surprising that Google still allows device certification with such ancient, unsupported and vulnerable OS.

All the marketing materials don't say which CPU it's using except "Qualcomm octa core CPU" - that means nothing as the description could apply to the Snapdragon 415, which was a low end slow system on a chip released ten years ago. Maybe it could explain why they're using an ancient version of Android - the soc that they're using it's a leftover found in some warehouse and it's already unsupported by the manufacturer; they're forced to use android 11.

Washing machine chime scandal shows how absurd YouTube copyright abuse can get (arstechnica.com)
 

TL;DR: for a whole decade YouTube allowed a copyright troll to claim all the rights on a recording of a washing machine end cycle chime

The account of the copyright troll is still standing and it's not permanently banned

IMHO in this case YouTube should permanently ban at the first offense any copyright troll that maliciously claim as their property something that's in the public domain

Also: if it wasn't that it affected a big streamer with lots of followers, YouTube would have ignored the problem
