I’m curious, what about Bluetooth makes it insecure? Is it that vendors create insecure implementations, like Android, or is it a human issue like connecting to things by default? I recall the Bluetooth spec being unbelievably complex and verbose, which obviously increases risk and makes it harder to audit, but it doesn’t get many updates, and I don’t recall seeing many issues with the spec itself. I mean it’s not like it’s fixing a CVE every quarter like with netty packages.
Buying 10 items would definitely make this way more likely, because we have a base-10 counting system.
To simplify the problem, if you look at the cents digit, $0.09×10 items = $0.90. If you look at both cents digits, they were mostly $0.99. $0.99×10 items = $9.90.
All you’d need in either case there is something to cost $0.10 more to get a nice even number.
First of all, rooting for decentralized net 100%. Watching Tumblr, Reddit, Twitter, etc. all get screwed over from the top down sucks. I really appreciate the strong community here - having it smaller and more engaging encourages participation and makes it feel a little more human.
However, I’m considering leaving Lemmy just because somehow it’s even more cynical than reddit, and I’m losing interest in opening the app if it’s just 99% downers. I mean almost every article is just crushingly bad news. The world is in a rough state for sure, and staying informed is really important! But trying to live on and find the good is near impossible here.
(Yes, I’m subbed to upliftingnews. That’s the 1%.)
Is this a demographics thing, or am I just subbed in all the wrong places? Maybe a bit of both?
I’ve been using the rif app with ReVanced patches and my own API key, much better than the 1st party app. Eventually it’ll probably break, but it works for now!
Had to go landscape mode to reach this point
Setting a default filter mode for comments. I could find a way to do this in settings, so maybe I’m missing something, but I’d expect it to be the same as default filtering for posts.
This is pretty cool! Wondering about a couple of these features though: locking setup after a forced reset and locking stolen devices which are offline for extended periods. Do these features activate when I determine the phone is stolen? Or do they happen automatically? This might make used phone sales a major PITA if the seller doesn’t properly reset it first.
