Revealed: car industry was warned keyless vehicles vulnerable to theft a decade ago
  • You would need to put your keys in a faraday cage.

    Distance doesn't matter, as they can just use a bigger antenna or better amplifier. You find footage of people using large loops of wire to capture the signal from the keys

  • Neither will 99% of 3D printed guns. Most 3D printed guns use metal parts, and ammo will likely be detected as well. Only single shot, entirely 3D printed guns with plastic ammo have any chance.

    8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple
  • So? I know they get hot, that's what 200-300W means. But when you said "there isn’t a single laptop in the windows world that can match anything apple does", you were wrong. Laptops with GPUs still win in performance.

    Stop moving the goalposts.

    8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple
  • Any laptop with a recent GPU will beat an Apple Laptop for performance. Some higher end CPUs too.

    Apple has really good power efficiency, which is great when unpluged, but plugged in laptops with 200 to 300W TDPs are still better.

    Fairphone 5 - The Ars Technica Review
  • Yeah, if you use earbuds, Bluetooth is so much better. I don't know why wired earbuds are so garbage, but I had two die in three years. My headphones still work after seven, but the pads are worn off, so I stopped using them

    Fairphone 5 - The Ars Technica Review
  • Wired Earbuds or Headphones? Most wired earbuds are crap, so it makes sense to use Bluetooth. Wired Headphones should not break. I don't want to argue with your experiences, but I have never seen headphones break. I used a pair for seven years, and only stopped using it wasn't worth it to buy new pads (the headphones cost $20, pads $10).

    Music Industry sues Internet Archive
  • They probably sound slightly differently, and have more historical value to them. I just digitized my grandfathers cassette collection, because it was his, and are a different experience (because of how cassettes sound).

    Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter
  • They have expandable storage on a lot of cheaper phones, as well as Aux ports. I chose my phone, the A23 5g, over the A53 because of the Aux port, and it is still an amazing phone.

    How Signal walks the line between anarchism and pragmatism
  • A bunch of Matrix bridges on one platform, with some extra funding. It looks cool, but isn't lifechanging. It is designed to (hopefully) make it easier to use, but if you don't care, you can set up the bridges yourself on your own matrix server.

    I would have expected Meta to have learned by Elons mistakes but I was just asked if I want to subscribe for a blue tick to verify my account to make my followers feelnsafer
  • A lot of social media companies aren't profitable, but they didn't care because of cheap loans and lots of investors. Now that loans are more ecpensive and investors want AI, social media companies are realizing, "We need to make money, or investors will hate us", and are locking things down. Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, and Tumblr are some of the examples we see. All trying to push subscriptions or block adblockers.

  • It is definitely possible, as RSS readers like ReadYou can do it. Maybe try FreshRSS in conjuction with an RSS reader?

    Favourite RSS reader?
  • I use ReadYou. Has more features and easier to understand than Feeder (at least for me).

    Requires no permissions (except enabling notifications), can use local (on device) accounts. Only requires RSS links, no other data.

    Supports notifications, have not tried it. Also likely requires background refresh, which I don't use, so don't know about that.
