    DJI Unveils Osmo 360: A Panoramic Leap Forward in Sports Camera Innovation

    Jump

  • DJI requires that their cameras be activated and registered with DJI -- using their app and an internet connection -- before the cameras can be used. This is user hostile.

  • Microsoft Issues Free Update Offer To Millions Of Windows Users (ads in windows update menu)

    Jump

  • If people really need Windows, they might need an actual machine running Windows because the VM won't work with their use case. I still use old hardware that doesn't work in a VM so it's running on a dedicated PC that, thankfully, doesn't need to connect to the internet nor be upgraded to Windows 11.

  • Sony says it’s not done making Xperia phones just yet

  • As an Xperia 1 iii user I am feeling very left out.

  • Reolink devices still reach out to a bunch of different servers across the world as soon as you connect them to a network.

    Always isolate an IP doorbell or camera on its own access point or virtual network, where it can't see or interact with other devices on your local network, and then block it from WAN access.

  • Bluesky is rolling out age verification in the UK

  • Fair enough. Thanks for the info. 👍

  • Bluesky is rolling out age verification in the UK

    Jump

  • But you have to submit evidence of age to some site, right? So where does that evidence (your ID) get sent to or stored? Once it's sent, are you sure it's not stored? Is the token unique or traceable to you?

    I honestly don't know, and when I don't know, I have to assume it's not staying private.

  • Noooope!

  • Is the system opaque? Does someone else hold the private encryption keys? Could unencrypted data leak from the company and expose users?

    If any of those answers are "yes", then assume it's already compromised by a government and unsafe.

  • The company is Qardio. The device is the QardioArm.

    This exact thing happened to me yesterday. I woke up, tried to use the blood pressure monitor for the first time in months, and was signed out of my account in the app with no way to log back in because the server is now offline. I went to reddit and tried their suggestions, but nothing worked.

    I looked for an open-source app that might be able to interface with the QardioArm, but no luck. It's just junk now. I can't even access my blood pressure history in the app. I knew this was a risk when I bought it, and I did get around 4 good years out of the product, but what a damn waste.

    Make this illegal already.

  • Do you mean 24 minutes instead of hours?

    I don't have a whole day to spare 🙂

  • Do you prefer Performance mode or Quality mode?

    Jump

  • Personally, I use my PS5 for 3D games that look pretty and need the most power, so I play most games on Quality mode, like FFVII Remake and Rebirth, even if it drops the FPS to 30.

    30fps feels cinematic to me, which I often prefer in story-driven RPGs.

  • Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become

    Jump

  • To be fair, the iOS app store will show the top 200 paid games, and that’s it. There are a bunch of categories for games, but ‘paid’ isn’t one of them; there is no other way to see or filter just paid games. It’s always sucked and Apple has never fixed it.

    I honestly don’t know how any developer is supposed to be successful on there with a paid game, because if it’s not already in the top 200 list, most people will never be able to see it in the store without specifically searching the name.
