Magnets. (How do they work?)
I replaced all my USB-C and Micro-USB connectors with magnetic ones. No more orientation worries, no more fumbling in the dark, no more not-inserting-it-hard-enough. Just bring the two into proximity and them magically snap together.
Bliss.
Discord is where information goes to die.
Please just stick things on a website. I’m happy to help you set one up.
OMG! I still have my DataLink watch somewhere. I remember thinking it was amazing and showing off all the phone numbers I’d programmed into it.
Will your code work with any flashing LED? Or does it need special hardware?
I like it. As others have said, it is a rebadged Mulvad. When I got it, Mozilla was slightly cheaper. The apps for Linux work well and the speed seems decent.
I think you’ve answered your own question - be less meticulous. Oh, and memorise less.
A good programmer knows where their knowledge boundaries are. For example, if you’re working in JavaScript, you probably don’t need to know bit-shifting.
A good programmer doesn’t know every feature; they know where to go to find that information. They know how to read the manual of an unfamiliar feature.
The most important thing you can do is do practical work. Build a website. Try new things. Look up how to implement something and then do it yourself. Find a project that interests you - like building your own website - that’ll stave off the fatigue.
You don’t need to memorise how to implement a linked-list - you need experience in building.
Good luck.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Cracked black pepper. Then either shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano or nutritional yeast.
Basically, all the savoury flavours at once - and not as boring as plain salt.
But you’re fine with WiFi providers doing the same?
Not that I know of. And I don’t think a Lemmy user can block (for example) a Mastodon user.
There is no difference. You have a SIM with a unique ID. It connects to the network with that ID.
I suppose you could pay cash for a pre-pay SIM and then top it up by paying cash for vouchers. That would make it hard (but not impossible) to link you to the SIM.
But it depends on your threat model. From who are you trying to protect your privacy?
What?! That boggles my mind - and would probably break my brain.
Cheers! It is actually a very lightly customised version of Atkinson. See https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/08/an-update-to-the-atkinson-hyperlegible-font/
Oooof! Yeah, I don’t think I could cope with that.
I used mine to inspect the solar panels on our roof - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2017/03/inspecting-solar-panels-using-a-drone/
I wanted to see if they were covered in bird shit. They weren’t.
Note when I did this, it was legal to fly a drone that close to private property. I don’t think it still is.
Could be worse. Could be a Nokia T9 predictive text input!
I think that’s a lovely idea - which doesn’t work in reality. At some point someone will need to be cast out. That can’t be done by peer pressure, because scammers, spammers, and griefers don’t care about that.
Individual blocks also don’t work because they leave unaware users open to being abused.
Sure, you could have a town council vote on a block, or have software which blocks a user for all if they have been blocked >=N times, but that’s still moderation.
One underrated thing that keeps the village going is the police. Or, in our case, the mods.
I know, I know! Everyone hates the mods - with their over-inflated egos and unaccountable practices and their capricious banning of innocuous subjects.
But life without the mods means a village where rioters run rampant.
Not everyone has the same level of mobility that you do.
Incidentally, do you get off your arse to change the volume on your TV?
In the UK, you can use Curve. That gives you a physical or virtual card which proxies your existing Visa / MasterCards (not Amex).
But it doesn’t have an NFC app you can use on Android. As far as I can tell, there are no other virtual NFC payment apps.
And, of course, it doesn’t really improve your privacy posture. Your bank still knows who you spent with - as does Curve.
If you want a free fiver, you can use my Curve referral link - http://curve.app/join#D4MK9ZKN
Yes, there are magnetic USB cables which do data. Here’s my review of one https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/10/gadget-review-subbytech-magnetic-charge-sync-cables/
