I’ve used govee stuff before and it absolutely did NOT require an account. Just the app. Are you sure you have that right?

You can’t do anything besides the usual precautions. I get a notice of a data breach in the mail like every 3 weeks from companies who got hacked. It’s fucking ridiculous. My social security number has probably been leaked like 900 times. All of ours has

All you can do is:

• change passwords
• use good passwords
• check your accounts frequently
• freeze your credit
• use 2FA with literally anything and everything
• try to limit the number of one off accounts you have to create (hard to do when every fucking thing requires a fucking account, i.e. PSN account to play fucking Sony SINGLE PLAYER GAMES on Steam)
• cross your fingers

There is definitely an anti firefox agenda on Lemmy. I can’t tell if it’s just people circlejerking FUD news or if it’s paid shills, but something is definitely going on. I’m about to unsub from these communities because it’s just constant bullshit.

Yea…sounds terrible. I don’t even save my browser history normally.

If it’s all local and no telemetry is sent to mozilla or 3rd parties, then I’d potentially be interested in it.

What do you mean ingesting browsing history locally? For AI? I don’t want that. But I’d interested in your opinion and explanation though!

Yea probably not lol.

Fuck AI too. No one wants that garbage. I hate that everything has a chatbot now

I’ll try to respond below. Lemme know what you think:

Consoles:

Need to upgrade every 5-7 years if you want to play new games on next gen consoles. Can play your old games indefinitely.

PC:

Need to upgrade every 5-7 years if you want to play new games that are more demanding and require next gen parts. Can play your old games indefinitely.

In terms of playing new games on an old PC, try playing cyberpunk on a PC from 2013 (7 years prior to CP77 release in 2020). You’ll get like 2 fps. Not even playable.

So to conclude, sure, you can try to play new games on your old ass PC, but it’ll run like crap and won’t be a good experience.

Edit: just to clarify, my opinion is from the perspective of someone who wants to play new demanding games. If you play super easy to run new indie games, then yea I agree with your point. Added benefit of PC is the ability do that indefinitely.

I have no idea :-)

Good. They should focus on their browser. No one wanted their side projects. It was scope creep and took away resources from their main product offering. Sounds like the right move.

True, but that’s just more of an added benefit of PC. I have to assume the vast majority of people who build PCs for games have the desire to play new games that come out. There may be a few people who build PCs with only the desire to play old games. But i don’t think that is the majority.

Plus if someone doesn’t want new games then they wouldn’t need or care to upgrade their console from one gen to a next. So i don’t think that’s relevant in this discussion.

That’s not really a good comparison. After 5-10 years you’re going to need a PC upgrade as well if you want to keep up with current game tech and run games at high settings. That can easily cost $700. Remember, consoles are usually mid-range computers.

Was there any controversy with Proton email? I remember hearing everyone shitting on it ywars ago. Did they do something to piss everyone off, but later fixed it?

Exactly.

Kodi isn’t for streaming from services like netflix and YouTube. It’s used to stream offline video files over the local network.

Thx for confirming! Sounds good.

You forgot to explain what this does?

Pihole is your friend.
