You’re completely right, but it is still better than the current option by most measures for sane people.

Technology@lemmy.world•Intel announced plans to start making GPUs, challenging NVIDIA's dominanceEnglish
7·4 days ago“oh great, competition in a market with no competition. Horrible.”
Intel has already been making discrete GPUs for two generations and they are very cheap and aren’t the most performant but fantastic for the price.
I’d rather a non-US player enter the market like moorethreads, but because of us capitalist assholes, handicapping China competition for a long time they aren’t going to be able to make cards that are up to our performance standards till the 2030s probably

5·4 days agoThe original comment said Google, instead of Bezos, I have no idea why they edited their comment to this. Maybe they are thinking of Microsoft, who recently handed over encryption keys, but they don’t make phones anymore, lol.

122·4 days agoAs another said, a Pixel with Graphene OS is likely the most secure device you can have, even against an Apple product. Cellebrite, the software a lot of governments use to break into these phones can’t get into a Pixel device before first unlock with Graphene OS. I believe a number of Apple products are the same thing as they can’t be accessed before first unlock or lockdown mode, but your data is more secure in the hands of an open source developer than a massive capitalist company.
Also, a notable feature of GrapheneOS is automatic reboots after no use for any arbitrary time value you want, so your phone will always be in a “before first unlock” state if some steals it like the government. They also have lockdown mode as well, not sure how that works technically on Android beyond disabling biometrics.

2·4 days agoIm pretty into self hosting and have a number of public facing services like 4get and SearXNG, those two don’t use that much data. Also host immich for myself and family to replace Google Photos. Some of the bigger data hogs.
Archive warrior - I run a Docker container that constantly scrapes, compresses, and uploads whatever data the internet archive team wants most. I’ve had it running for a couple years now and they’ve had me scraping Telegram. That does a couple hundred gigs a month.
I2P Router - The invisible internet project, it’s sort of like Tor, but in my opinion more secure and better because it uses garlic routing instead of more centralized servers. Although it’s way less popular than Tor and seems most people use it for torrenting. Either way, I recently started hosting a router because governments around the world are cracking down on freedom of speech and censoriship, and increasing their surveillance powers. So I want to support the network and help it grow, this by itself does ~1TB of upload and download a month. Everyone in the world should start pivoting to more secure and decentralized internet solutions like this. Fuck the government.
Linux ISOs torrents - I love Linux, what can I say?
Backup server - I have an off-site Raspberry Pi backup server at my friend’s house that I do nightly backups of my important data to. So just depending on how much I’ve built up since the last backup that can be modest in size.
Otherwise we have a sort of high bandwidth household with video content consumption.

News@lemmy.world•China bans hidden car door handles, which can trap people after crashes
11·5 days agoI can’t remember which vehicles, but I’ve seen some cars that have flush handles but are still mechanical. You push on one side and it mechanically pivots the handle out that you grab and pull. So you can still do the exact same thing for beauty standards/aerodynamics, just using a different design philosophy that is probably safer. Maybe it’s rivian I’m thinking of?
I disagree. A very high CRI warm white is just as good as daylight in the kitchen. And better way less ugly

ADHD@lemmy.world•To my fellow ADHDers, how do you make yourselves engage with your hobbies?English

ADHD@lemmy.world•What new medications are all the cool kidz taking these days?English
1·8 days agoI know this is 6 months old but I just wanted to share my experience which was negative, I just got diagnosed and my psychiatrist wanted to try Atomoxetine before a stimulant. I was only on 20mg for two weeks, it raised my resting heart rate by 30 - 40 bpm. My resting heart rate was literally 100 bpm because of it, blood pressure also sky rocketed. It made me depressed and took away my libido. I hated that shit.
But it gave me cool vivide dreams every night. It works well for some people.

19·10 days agoI paid $180 a month for unlimited data on cox, but they threatened to terminate my account after I passed 1tb of upload in a month, they were calling and telling me it’s a violation of their terms of service. I said I pay for fucking unlimited data, “that doesn’t include upload” you scummy little fucks, false fucking marketing in that case because you advertised UNLIMITED DATA.
I lucked out when I bought a house that has quantum fiber, I pay $50 a month for 500/500 and real unlimited. I push 4 - 8 tb of usage per month with about half being upload.

221·17 days agoUnifi Ubiquiti products are one of the best option for completely local data hosting and camera services with really good “ai” detections all run locally, but they aren’t that cheap and you’ll need to buy one of their Unifi protect capable routers to get started, which is gonna be like $300 by itself.
Edit: Looks like they have a standalone recorder with a 3.5 inch drive bay but it’s still $200, and also most of their cameras are Ethernet. They do have a couple wireless options but not many.
