The International Space Station was transmitting slow scan TV pictures last week. You can receive them with a handheld radio and the stock antenna on the high elevation passes, but a handheld yagi antenna works much better.

It’s still faster than most lithium batteries can charge. They still have a long ways to go to reach the charge rate of super capacitors though.

Yeah, I’m not paying for pirated content.

When the drive is mounted noexec it’s not possible to run any programs on it. You can also mount any user writable directories noexec so they can’t copy the program somewhere else and run it.

Yes, Linux has autorun and some distros have it enabled by default.

It seems like they could be rendered ineffective by simply disabling auto run and forcing removable drives to mount noexec.

That’s for sure. I already assume ads contain malware and consider and ad blocker to be essential for security and privacy.

I doubt that will be true anymore. 12 will probably have even more spyware and ads than 11.

Anyone with a NAS will immediately notice that they are on 2.4GHz because it will take several times longer to transfer files.

I can’t stand the screeching of a dot matrix printer. The correct way to print the news is with a teletype.

I would imagine most people who aren’t using chrome are doing so for privacy reasons.

One of the less polished parts of the browser.

Probably because most people using Firefox disable browsing history.

Why not just make solar roofs over things like parking lots and sidewalks? That way it can provide cover and power, you can use off the shelf panels, and they are unlikely to get damaged.

SponsorBlock takes care of the sponsored segments in youtube videos. There are addons for blocking sponsored search results on amazon too.

You can do almost anything with a website that you could do with an app. The only reason they are pushing the apps so hard is because they can collect a lot more data than a website can.

Almost every Lemmy instance blocked threads.

Even 7zip can compress a large text file to less than 25% of it’s original size. The installer is less than 2MB. There are even better compression algorithms for text than 7zip though.

Why would anyone even want to use uBlock Origin Lite on Firefox? It’s a stripped down version designed to work with the limitations of manifest V3 in chrome.

The Starlink probably only works once the drone enters Ukraine. Disabling Starlink in that area would cut off the Ukrainian military too. The internet traffic could easily be routed through a VPN in another country, so blocking Russian IP addresses on Starlink wouldn’t work either.

They are most likely stolen or imported through a third party.
