problem is that the in the free tier the web panel doesn't give you the credentials for clients other than the official one, which can't be used on this operating system. But i read that with a rooted phone it's possible to extract that - gonna try it

as soon as i turn on bitmagnet, i can't even ping 8.8.8.8 , they detect&block torrent traffic immediately

on that other website that i was using before lemmy, someone says that if you complain to support, they let you keep the $2 month subscription instead of $4. Although in those cases I would just cancel out of spite. They can't increase the price by 100% with just 4 days notice!

I was happy that finally Google after android 10 returned an invalid IMEI to all those apps that asked the phone permission for fingerprinting reasons (almost all the Chinese apps like WeChat, taobao, amap, Baidu, required the phone permission and if you denied it, they directly sent you to the uninstall page), then left this huge unpatched & unpatchable hole that doesn't even require a specific permission...

Wow, this sucks.

Not for this app because anyway it looks like it's not working on Android 14, but because shady apps can reliably track installs, uninstalls and so on.

There are games like "Control" that are guaranteed to be dead in 5 years max as they're glorified remote play solutions. The game is playing on someone else's computer and streamed to the switch. So the bill for that computer is paid by new sales like a Ponzi scheme. No more sales = the dev turns off their servers = no more playing

Netflix updated the credit with his name? Thought they would ignore it until S3 as they would need to pay an editor to fix that.

RIP VMware.

Broadcom prefers to milk the top 500 customers with unreasonable fees rather than bother with the rest of the world. They know that nobody with a brain would intentionally start a new datacenter with VMware solutions

i mean hosted on github, bandwidth/compute paid by microsoft

You download the iso from microsoft.com then if the watermark really bothers you, get massgrave from GitHub (also Microsoft)

Nowadays getting a pre cracked copy of windows is a security issue, also don't work really good as many times is the enterprise version tied to some online KMS that would 100% go offline someday

this bit about "reporting unknown quantities of data back to hp" let me remember a "cool" feature of the printer. HP takes back the cartridges for free, even sends back the recycling company at their expense, but then the fine print says:

The HP cartridges used with this product contain a memory chip that assists in the operation of the product.

In addition, this memory chip collects a limited set of information about the usage of the product, which might include the following: the date when the cartridge was first installed, the date when the cartridge was last used, the number of pages printed using the cartridge, the page coverage, the printing modes used, any printing errors that might have occurred, and the product model. This information helps HP design future products to meet our customers' printing needs.

HP collects a sampling of the memory chips from cartridges returned to HP's free return and recycling program (HP Planet Partners: www.hp.com/recycle) .

The memory chips from this sampling are read and studied in order to improve future HP products. HP partners who assist in recycling this cartridge might have access to this data, as well.

nice data exfiltration program!

wow i wish in my country there was a company like this, with those prices
