Great, thank you. Some actual facts. Now I can agree with you.
That was my bloody point from the first comment? Without any indication, why make assumptions? I didn't make any claims, I only pointed out the ridiculousness.
I mean, whether it works as clickbait depends on your perspective. I don't disagree it may be intended that way, it just didn't hit that way for me in particular.
Is there any indication in the article that this is even cloud dependent?
My point being, the article lists perfectly good reasons for the app to exist, but you've made assumptions about it based solely on absolutely no data. What's the point of linking an article about an unrelated app and company?
Also, as I recall, that 2nd case about the washing machine turned out to be faulty measurements on the router side.
Well that's a whole load of assumptions based on absolutely nothing...
Huh. I guess that's a matter of perspective? I wasn't interested in the name, and even after reading the article I don't recall what the name was. I just found the story interesting.
Link rot is already setting in?
How would a button give you instructions and feedback...?
They did not give details on the rules they wanted to see apply to small cars.
Never a good idea when corps ask for a blank cheque.
The app instructed me to perform certain actions to calibrate the exoskeleton and determine whether I was operating it correctly. It only let me move on in the setup if I could prove I was operationally proficient.
What's your problem with the app? It sounds like a legit reason for one. Kinda dumb to just condemn apps regardless of context.
At that point, the swamp is more like flat ground
Option 1: Move to an instance that doesn't federate with them, like lemmy.cafe.
Option 2: Go to the settings page on the website, and block the instance. This will stop you from seeing comms on that instance, but you will still see comments and posts by their users in other comms.
Option 3: Client-specific. If you're using another client besides the default website, most of them have some way to block and hide all users from an instance as well, usually somewhere in the settings.

The 'both sides' nonsense is one of the reasons climate change was so widely doubted. Every yahoo with an opinion got his 5 seconds of fame spouting nonsense on the news.
At this point I think we've figured out that all chemicals should be considered harmful unless we have specifically tested and concluded otherwise.
Mm yeah, I probably missed that while scrolling
there has to be some plan for the change
Yes, but step 1 of that plan generally involves getting the rich to allow the change

Why hasn't bamboo taken over the world?
Running bamboo is notoriously fast spreading and difficult to remove. What keeps its population balanced in the wild, and prevents it from crowding out the competition? I tried googling, but was inundated with gardening advice, horror stories, and assault / offensive gardening (some of the latter two presumably covering the same incident from both sides). My google-fu failed, I couldn't really find any info about natural population controls of running bamboo in the thicket of tall tales and gardening advice.
Me and My Censor: How censorship works in China
When Liu Lipeng first contacted me in July 2020, I was still in China. I initially wanted to write this as a fictional short story, but I didn’t have the courage to do it at the time because it would have landed me in prison. I left China in 2021 and spent time thinking about […]

Trump tariffs could mean 25% fewer board game publishers
Local game stores likely won’t have as many board games to put on their shelves
cross-posted from: https://rss.ponder.cat/post/157533
Less than two weeks after the Trump administration’s announcement of historically high tariffs on virtually all goods imported into the United States, the board game industry appears set for an unexpected reckoning. An ad hoc industry survey conducted by Cardboard Edison reveals that nearly a quarter of publish
IP block?
Hi, I am able to access feddit.org from my wifi, but connecting via my mobile data fails. Is feddit.org doing geoblocking or blocking certain IP ranges? It's negatively impacting the lemmy experience for me hugely, as a lot of images in my feed do not load, and I imagine it's affecting others as well.

TIL: The Horned Helmets Falsely Attributed to Vikings Are Actually Nearly 3,000 Years Old
Some of the most common depictions of Vikings show large warriors wearing helmets affixed with horns. But new research finds that the famed helmets discovered in Viksø, Denmark, 80 years ago actually date to about 900 B.C.E., nearly 2,000 years before the Vikings.
“For many years in popular culture, people associated the Viksø helmets with the Vikings,” Helle Vandkilde, an archaeologist at Aarhus University in Denmark, tells Live Science’s Tom Metcalfe. “But actually, it's nonsense. The horned theme is from the Bronze Age and is traceable back to the ancient Near East.”
Viking society only developed in the 9th century C.E., and there is no sign that Vikings really wore horned helmets. According to History.com, the legend likely originated with Scandinavian artists in the 1800s, who popularized portrayals of the nomadic raiders wearing the equipment in their works.

Thoughts? What's your opinion on the buy-Europe trend?
What do you think of the current trend towards prettier games?
The last 5-10 years have seen an uptick in the trend of games having nicer and shinier bits and pieces. In my mind, the trend is best exemplified by Wingspan, which to me was a fairly average game wrapped in a beautiful package of glossy Cadbury eggs and pretty birds. I'm personally in favour of getting nicer bits and pieces for my games, but they are undeniably having an impact on prices (how much of an impact is something I'd find really interesting, let me know if any publisher has discussed the issue).
What do you think of this trend? Are you in favour of moving back to 100% cardboard chits, or do you like the newer, prettier boardgames?
