I always assumed incognito was just disabling history and cookies.

If the fine is not a fixed amount but actually gets more expensive the more money you have it actually is quite nice though

Always enjoy those stories about millionaires paying some big sums for speeding tickets in Switzerland

If you pirate stuff they can sue you to the ground but if a fine is not related to total income or wealth it’s just something to be ignored.

Can’t understand why not more people lobby for fines to be proportional in general…

Yeah Battery capacity getting low is one of the main reasons why most people replace their phones

Once you are able to just switch to a fresh battery again and clean up some of the apps running on your phone it’s as good as new in most cases and people wouldn’t buy new phones as often.

Can’t have people not buying new things regularly…

I wonder how a strictly linear thread structure is possible to transpose into a branching structure like lemmy

Switched from Galaxy to Playnite a couple of months ago and am happy with it so far

No - I’m just saying that the delay in WIFI and the low framerate and small resolution of the screen makes the Steamdeck a sub-par choice for fast-paced games for me. It’s fine if you are only playing on that device but if you also have a desktop to play at it’s far worse imho

For me it’s not about fortnite but more about fast-paced multiplayer on the steam deck

When I played Rocket league on the deck instead of my Desktop with Lan, higher resolution and much higher framerate I always felt as if I’m playing much worse than I usually do which is not fun in the slightest

It’s a great console for singleplayer and more tactical multiplayer but whenever reading the screen in less than a second and reacting very fast to it in an online game is necessary that’s not great…

I don’t know how it is in the us but here in Germany many (single-brand-)dealers are also licensed mechanics (for that brand) - and since EVs are taking much less repairing than traditional cars they are basically shooting themselves in the foot by selling them

The main upgrade they need is the processor because the companies making those are not supporting newer Android-Versions and at some point that becomes a security-issue.

Problem is that replacing the processor to a newer generation usually means the whole mainboard is obsolete, too and then is very quickly doesn’t become easy to upgrade anymore

just switching between different types of cameras, screens etc. wouldn’t be as big of a problem but that’s also not part of the main-problem either

China is not a country that gives subsidies but a corporation that invests in branches it wants to grow

I’d imagine the situation is more dire to those filmmakers and journalists that do narration as a job

Why would you need them if you can just use the voice of an AI impersonating famous speakers like this

Solving security issues with the fingerprint scanner by not supporting it in the first place?

Do payouts for creators increase if people that watch them have premium? If not you are not buying it for the good content but for the service infrastructure

I mean I still have my Gmail account in my mail clients - just every time I get an email on it that’s not spam I go to the account settings and change the mail account there

I haven’t gotten a mail on it in almost a year so I think I’ll unplug it and only login if needed

yeah - they put out statements that they will do everything they can to keep adblockers alive and even implemented a browser-level blocklist for the worst case - but let’s see how that will work once Google starts turning the screws on Chromium tighter

Vivaldi Mobile

Need to update my blocklists though

Something went wrong. Please disable your blocker on AndroidPolice.com

My kind of humour when one of the main reasons for switching to Firefox right now is the adblock

The problem is breaking up the network effect from messaging apps.

Noone is uninstalling WhatsApp since there’s always that one guy you need to keep in contact with that refuses to change.

Having aggregators like this is helping break up this

If only there was a law forcing messaging services to open an API for free choice of 3rd party apps…
