@SquiffSquiff @some_guy They do that here to some degree. ISP's DNS give a shitty warning about pirating if you try to visit any of the normal places for that kind of thing. Personally i just use a local DNS over HTTPS server. Which reminds me I need to see if he/she would like a donation.

@whostosay I know they're being touted as having done very much with very little, but this kind of thing should have been part of the little.

@atrielienz @ObviouslyNotBanana If you use their Search and don't want all the AI results forced to top of results you can try using UDM14 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/google-searchs-udm14-trick-lets-you-kill-ai-search-for-good/

@howrar @dantheclamman I needed a replacement garage door remote last week. Bunnings has them locked to the shelf thing. I did bend it a fair amount but couldn't get the thing off. Found an employee who seemed as pissed off as I was. He didn't have a key though. So had to disappear for quite some time to find one. It's a $60 product in a reasonable size pack. Not a $6000 item I can slip in my pocket. Another reason to shop online (I needed that item that day otherwise I would have got it online)

@CancerMancer @prof_wafflez +1 for #Amazfit I'd certainly have another quote happily. Killed my last one (totally user error).
But I've now realised I never use many of a smartwatch's features so I've gone for one that just does notifications and step count

@m105 @Fizz there's quite a few Swiss mail providers that may be of interest. Self-hosting mail can be a pain as those IPs tend to have a lower threshold for getting blocked/blacklisted. And make sure all your SPF, DKIM etc is fully configured.

@deranger @theunknownmuncher the US trying to stifle Chinese progress/stop chip exports has had exactly what anyone could see. China is making leaps and bounds in all sorts of tech areas, innovating around obstacles

@ubergeek @ricdeh Are we far off minor skirmishes and war-ettes over what big G names various places?

@ForgottenFlux I lost one of my pair of hardware keys last week. Waiting for replacement to arrive - #Bitwarden will be the first thing I register it into
