It’s spez so of course they’re going to go for NSFW subs. Pretty sure that’ll just cause people to move to Onlyfans and other, already NSFW platforms.

Can’t really see anyone paying for sub access apart from porn.

All of them have really bad audio and as such, they’re completely useless.

So, is this the type of SLAM you’d typically see in a moshpit? Or are we talking about wrestling slams?

So your requirement with cellular calling (eSIM) is already fairly restrictive and depends on which market we’re talking about. Where I live (.se) you get to choose between Apple and Samsung and since Apple was out of the question, you’re stuck with Samsung.

Not entirely sure if your second requirement with long battery life can be fulfilled. You’ll be charging the watch every day, probably more often if you take calls on it.

There’s some rumors that Garmin Forerunner/epix will get eSIM support, but that will be also carrier dependent.

These wearables are pretty complicated high end devices, I wouldn’t really give them to elderly parents who stuggle using a normal mobile.

I think it might be better to look into other tyoe of devices like pager systems from caregivers, if you’re worried about health issues.

Looks like AI wrote the article

Knowing history, that’s a one tape I have no intention of listening. RIP the crew and all other early space flight pioneers who perished pushing the boundaries of our planet.

I don’t and the energy consumption of public AI services is a stopper for “testing and playing around”. I think I’ll just wait until it takes over the world as advertised.

I meant NL is one of the top 10 tax havens in the world due to their exemptions that allow corporate tax evasion.

Only reason Discord has “a shop” in EU is for tax evasion. It’s a P.O Box at Schipol airport. I really don’t think they care very much.

I think they’re only worried about U.S class action. Don’t think American companies really care about the legality anywhere else

That’s not quite right. Mastodon does not have any privacy at all and it’s not safe to treat it as privacy platform.

What makes Mastodon worth using is the federated model and lack of commercial engagement algorithms.

More likely, they were saving costs and fired the non-essential janitor who turned out to be totally fucking essential

I bet the CFO was in habit of joining Zoom company calls with the cat filter turned on. Therefore everyone was pretty much OK with this.

My next Windows PC doesn’t need any RAM, because I’m not going to need one.

Yeah sorry - edited OP and added archive link, so no one needs to hit substack servers.

I thought the blog was hot garbage (my entire original comment here: https://beehaw.org/comment/2044864 so I won’t repeat it).

I’d like to offer an alternative - https://erinkissane.com/untangling-threads

Well, that article was a hot mess.

I appreciate the authors effort and they are correct about lack of “what is VPN” articles that are not written by VPN-vendors in marketing purpose. But I’m not sure if this was it.

Writing an article meant to “debunk” misconceptions and getting two core concepts, Security and Privacy mixed up right from the start wasn’t very good.

A lot of time was spent on explaining HTTPS and how it somehow magically makes you and your data secure on the Internet and it completely missed to mention who the potential threat actors thwarted by HTTPS are?

Could have probably used a chapter on how actual threats (both security and privacy) work and how don’t have much to do with the level of encryption your TCP/IP connection happens to encapsulate.

The last chapter with the first 3 bullets was pretty good though. That could have just been the whole article and it would have been alright.

Oh well. Attempt was made.
