Yep, true, soldering really kills reparability for most.

Didn't they go with soldered RAM with their desktop PC, though?

New ransomware wipes every file larger than 128 KB by Mihies in c/technology@lemmy.world

Immutable ones, right. Otherwise they can be overwritten, too.

Microsoft Edge loads your passwords into memory in plaintext, but Microsoft says not to worry by Mihies in c/technology@lemmy.zip

Nope. Chromium is web engine, it doesn't handle passwords, that's all on implementation of the app. That said, Chrome is much better protecting passwords.

Author missed one aspect. Even if AI is one day reliable, it'll most likely be owned by a few companies. What if those companies decide to cut you off?

That's why we need an alternative to US credit cards yesterday. And also a spine transplant to politicians.

Isn't the answer to that ~~quiet~~ quite clear today? It's a no, they wouldn't.

I for one am ditching Windows and Office which I've been using professionally since Windows 3.0. It's the year of the Linux for me. As per data in US clouds (even hosted in EU), it was never safe.

I'm looking for a front light "for being seen" that can be mounted under K-Edge mount - GoPro adapter. Not looking for something heavier that illuminates the road ahead (thought I might in future). It has to e rechargeable, USB-C preferably and available in EU. Any suggestions? TIA

Well written thoughts on C#12 primary constructors. Sadly they are not really useful. At least for now.

How does breaking affect brakes? (programming.dev)

submitted 2 years ago by Mihies@programming.dev to c/bicycling@lemmy.world

14 comments fedilink

I was always wondering this. Imagine a steep descent. What is better for brake wear - braking constantly or more powerful just at the end? Anybody knows? Goes for both rim and disc brakes

Is Fiido Titan a good bike? (eu.fiido.com)

I'm considering Fiido Titan as e-bike for shopping and short distance commuting. It's hilly where I need it. Any thoughts on bike quality or anything else? From a review on YouTube it seems decent enough. TIA

in what shape is Jonas? (programming.dev)

submitted 2 years ago by Mihies@programming.dev to c/procycling@lemmy.world

Hopeful Jonas recovered after all the injuries, but I somehow doubt it that he'll be at 100% after those injuries without much time to recover. While I'm rooting for PogRog, I fear a repeat of Giro, where Pog dominated and made it boring to watch. Or perhaps Remco will kick in, but then again he was also injured and didn't do well at Dauphine. What's you take?

Eurosport discontinuing streaming (programming.dev)

submitted 2 years ago by Mihies@programming.dev to c/bicycling@lemmy.world

Eurosport started sending e-mails that they are discontinuing streaming (premium) service in favor of HBO MAX. Which is much, like 3x more expensive if you happen to watch only bicycling or some other sports and you don't care about other stuff. Even more odd is that they were sending e-mails like a couple of weeks ago that they were just increasing the price. So, that's it for me watching bicycling, I guess. It's been nice while it lasted, then corporate greed took over.
