Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Valve is stopping production of LCD Steam Deck models, once sold out they will be gone forever
28·4 months agoThese have DDR4 RAM, right? But Gaben did say that the original $399 price was difficult to hit, so any small increase in component prices might make it impossible.

Technology@lemmy.world•Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’English
411·5 months agoReally depends on the phone and how the controlling organization (whether it’s a private company or the IDF) uses MDM/MAM. It’s totally possible to poorly manage iPhones, and if you do they’ll be insecure as hell. If you were to restrict everyone to a specific Android phone model with hardened software, then you could theoretically do better than deploying all iPhones. Hell, you could even put GrapheneOS on them, but that would be quite an undertaking, and I’m not aware of any company doing it at scale.
Because of the homogeneity of iPhones and how strictly Apple controls them, it’s generally simpler for organizations to manage them and ensure all of their employees are using updated software on a relatively secure phone. So that (in my opinion) is why we’re seeing a lot of organizations just say “screw it, only iPhones allowed”.
THE TOASTER WILL BE REPLACED.
Fucking legendary quote from Linus.

Technology@lemmy.world•Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracyEnglish
22·10 months agoProtip for anyone unfamiliar: Mullvad really is the gold standard for a private VPN. If you just want to pirate shit and not get angry letters from your ISP, Nord or PIA will accomplish that. But if you REALLY want privacy, Mullvad is it.

Technology@lemmy.world•China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power deliveryEnglish
8·1 year agoThe popular use for power delivery through a display cable is charging a laptop from your monitor; it’s already very common with Thunderbolt or USB-4 monitors. But 480W seems a bit overkill for that.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Am I a jerk for telling my son he should find another dream (career)?
5·1 year agoDon’t tell him that he can’t do something. Let him figure it out on his own.
IF YOU HAVE EXPERTISE, THEN CONTRIBUTE, DAMMIT: https://developer.gimp.org/core/wgo/
They don’t need somebody to tell them their site sucks. They need somebody to HELP them make it better, to DO the work that you seem to be implying is very easy! They’re literally begging for it on their website.
200 people that aren’t contributing. They actually have a page on their site encouraging people to get involved in the site design: https://developer.gimp.org/core/wgo/
Ah yes, it’s a good thing that the only skill required to make a nice website is taking a screenshot
Contributing doesn’t happen on Lemmy lol
These projects are run by volunteers, they don’t have the unlimited budget for designers that Adobe does. And to be honest, it kinda seems like you’re just criticizing them for no good reason. Have you personally designed and built a website that doesn’t suck?

Games@lemmy.world•Trump tariffs threaten the future of physical video games, analyst warnsEnglish
32·1 year agoI think the author missed the mark here by talking about game preservation, as many are already pointing out in these comments.
The real benefit of buying a physical disc/cartridge copy of a game nowadays is the ability to resell it when you’re done playing. That’s actually a huge boon if you buy a lot of newly released games at full price, and play on consoles where sales are less common than PC. Reselling games can save you a LOT of money over time.
You get what you pay for. If you are actually concerned about your privacy, then go with Mullvad. If you just want to download stuff for free without getting caught, then Privado is probably fine.

Technology@lemmy.world•Wozniak: I didn't reduce chip count for manufacturing. I wanted to prove I was cleverEnglish
141·1 year ago- If you’re connecting to random free Wi-Fi, you’re leaving yourself wide open to attacks.
- A lot of security researchers play with penetration testing scenarios like this. It’s how you learn to defend against techniques that real attackers use.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles?
10·1 year agoBecause trans people are different, and they’re afraid of different people. So they make assumptions that those people are somehow dangerous. Racism, xenophobia, transphobia; it’s all the same stupid mentality.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile?
14·1 year ago- Context matters. That question is rarely asked by anyone that isn’t a douchebag trying to hit on a woman.
- From my understanding, even when NOT in the context of douchebaggery, it’s a condescending thing to say to a woman. So much of society wants to put women in a box where they’re expected to look pretty, smile more, talk less, and listen to big strong men with their big manly brains. Being told to “smile more” is pretty triggering for some (but maybe not all) women who are tired of dealing with that shit.
