Obtainium can solve that. It will check websites for updates and then download the new apk and install it. I use it more than fdroid now, can get apk straight from the developers github repo usually.

Sort of related, I was fact checking some of the content on my own website that had been provided by someone who later turned out to be less than reliable.
There was one claim I was completely unable to find a source for and suspected it was an AI hallucination. Turned to chatgpt and tried to find a source with that and it provided nearly the exact same sentence and cited my website as the source thus completing the hallucination cycle.
I just deleted it all from my site and started over.
100%. It irks when software has messages in the first person. The human-like TTS are very uncanny valley to me.
I needed voice over for a video recently and everyone is telling me to use AI, I tried dozens and they’ll all just off. Ended up getting a friend to record it. I don’t have a decent mic so my own recording sounded bad.


I have to use windows at work, have 32gb and regularly get browser tabs unloaded for low memory. I’m not running VMs or anything. Usually just Firefox, visual studio, and slack.
Personal computer is Linux with 16gb and that’s more than enough.


I’ve found the same thing. I’ve turned off the auto suggestions while tying because by the time I’m typing i already know what I’m going I’m to type and having mostly incorrect suggestions popping up every 2 seconds was distracting and counterproductive.


I had the same issue which is by I don’t self host bitwarden. If my house burned down the same day Bitwarden had a catastrophic outage I’d probably have issues but that seems unlikely.


Years ago now, they pushed an offer for lifetime subscription onto my server. I clicked it, went through to their website and bought it, paid, the subscription activated and worked.
The next day they emailed to say actually i wasn’t eligible for the offer, they cancelled it and refunded me and said it would actually cost $30 more.
I installed Jellyfin that same day, it was pretty buggy back then but was definitely the right decision.


Helped a disabled pensioner recently with her phone that kept plaging loud obnoxious ads at her even while locked.
She had 4 different “virus scanners” that were all fake adware.


It doesn’t say that. The potential fine the higher of 23M or 10%. Not that 23M is 10%


Not in the US, our water infrastructure was sold off in 90s but that makes sense. Was probably something similar They held us to it though so they overpaid for hardware beyond their needs and we forced the software to run slower


That would make sense, i hadn’t put that together but they had a lot of embedded control systems. This was water treatment but entirely separate from the control systems but i can see them having that a standard requirement


Did a project several years where the customrr required that the server we delivered specifically for the project never use more than 50% CPU or RAM. No requirements about how fast it actually performs its intended function, just that it can only utilise half the available resources while doing it.


This is my experience. It saves a bit of typing sometimes but that’s probably cancelled out by the time spent correcting it, rewriting nonsense it produced, and reviewing my corworkers PRs that didn’t notice the nonsense.


Yeah, humans regularly deliver stuff wrong on our street. There is no way robots will manage. I get packages for both by neighbours and they get mine more often than correct deliveries and one of my neighbours is a business.


A great example of this is TSA luggage locks. Mandated backdoor, master keys leaked by company that makes them, now anyone can open any TSA approved lock.


I meant running windows on them, its enormous and its all linux servers. I know you can run windows but it’ll be a tiny fraction.


This is my thought, they’ve all but lost the battle for cloud servers and they’d rather the developers computers were Windows. WSL allows that.
I did this once, it was legitimate but he refused to tell me even what department he called from. I said i wasn’t going to give personal into to an incoming call and i wasn’t calling back unless i knew why. He ended up mailing me a letter instead.
I almost got scammed a few years ago by being called about fraudulent activity the day after i reported fraudulent activities, in hindsight I think they just got lucky with timing, but I take no chances now.
Ever noticed how decades ago if someone defeated a bank’s security we called it bank robbery, but now it’s called identity theft and we get blamed for it.
Another one for immich but I’m also running immich-public-proxy. It proxies just the share links so the entire instance isn’t public.
No. Its had external library support for quite a while now
