  • Listening Devices Are Being Installed In UK School Bathrooms

    Jump

  • My school had a really good system. Instead of the toilets being in a closed room, they instead had an open floor plan with the sinks being clearly visible from the hallway. Obviously it was all cubicals, no urinals but it worked really well to stop this sort of thing. Seems like a much safer way to curb all those things listed than fucking spying on children.

  • DAS or NAS for an Arr Setup w/ Plex?

    Jump

  • I use kodi with the jellyfin addon that allows for direct file playback over smb, no more worrying about how the media is encoded. Its a bad problem on my old scrounged together workstation pc with no gpu that i use as a nas lol

  • I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

    Jump

  • When its for a discontinued console, or games that have been scalped to nuts prices because the owners cba to preserve it, it can barely be considered piracy imo. Its not sane to buy a used console and games for it if it doesent get support or even have online capabilities anymore. Nintendos the worst for it lmao

  • It's (usually) already installed

    Jump

  • Honestly i dont think most people do. We're all in a bubble of atleast somewhat technically minded people, not just on lemmy but im sure most of our friends irl are similar. Ive been in a few officey type areas and out of the vast majority of monitors ive seen, theyve been using edge, sometimes i even see multiple browsers open lmao. Just checked statcounter and edge is the third most used which is fucking nuts when you consider how many options there are.

  • Advice on blocking Youtube ads.

    Jump

  • Interesting, ill for sure look into it and reply here if i figure it out. The dev manager linked DOES do something to the timer, my dev app shows 999 hours remaining however it still logs out after a few days. I dont use my tv everyday so maybe that has something to do with it?

  • Advice on blocking Youtube ads.

    Jump

  • It really is, its what i do. To enable developer mode you need to make an lg developer account and install the developer mode app from the lg app store. Once youve enabled that you can use this on your pc to install the yt adfree app. Its recommended to uninstall the old yt app first so if your tv lets you, do that. My tv doesent let me but the adfree app still works, it just gets uninstalled after you turn your tv off. You can install the homebrew channel from the same app which lets you install yt adfree without the tool after the first time. The app also has sponsorblock built in with customizable settings, its the best way to watch yt imo

    Also note: after a few days dev mode seems to turn off, making all the apps disappear. You can just log back in and they should all reappear.

  • Linux needs to seriously fix itself (this IS an unpopular opinion here, cant speak bad about linux on lemmy now can we)

    Jump

  • Honestly youre right. When i first started using linux it was for fun, something different. It had so many issues that by default id boot into windows and use ubuntu occassionally to learn it some more. A few years later and endeavour is my daily driver and im lucky enough to have 0 issues whatsoever, i love it but its probably dumb luck that all my hardware works well. The issues people have with linux seem totally random, some people breeze through it, then theres people like you that just encounter so much seemingly random bs.

    Youre right about the circlejerks, enjoy the comments that are gonna come pouring in lol

  • Sweet, were you able to uninstall the original yt app? We have 2 lg tvs in our house, one can uninstall the original app and one cant. Id be interested to know your model tv and whether it can or not

  • You need to enable developer mode, then use this tool to install the youtube adfree app. (Also install the homebrew channel so you can install apps directly from your tv) If you can, uninstall the original yt app first but if you cant like on my tv it will still work, but it will be uninstalled when you turn off your tv

  • Sunak proposes raising smoking age every year to create 'smoke-free' generation

    Jump

  • Sadly though, vaping is associated almost entirely with nicotine. I know plenty who vape, but no one who vapes 0% juice. I havent personally done much research about them but inhaling any fumes is a net negative. Although vapes are far less harmful tham cigarettes, nicotine addiction is still there, and these kids are getting it. Im one of the few of my generation that used vapes for their original purpose, quitting smoking and they work great, but its depressing af seeing kids caning vapes just knowing its already an addiction for them

  • Sunak proposes raising smoking age every year to create 'smoke-free' generation

    Jump

  • I feel we've done a good enough job at making smoking undesirable, effectively banning it is excessive. It would be better to focus on doing what was done to cigarettes to vapes. Kids arent smoking nearly as much but theyre vaping like mad. I see kids as young as 13-14 doing it. Vapes are allowed to look appealing, combine that with their nice smell and flavour, ofc young people are going to gravitate toward them instead.

    Make it so vape packaging is bland and has similar warnings as cigarretes, and actually teach kids about addiction instead of just a hard "dont touch these". Everyone with a braincell knows that if you ban something from young people, theyre gonna do it more

  • PasswordManagement: which one of these options would you choose?

    Jump

  • Option 2 would be your best bet. Great balance between security and convenience. Bitwarden is my go to because afaik it stores every detail encrypted (unlike mainstream PWs) and when you open your vault, the database gets transferred to your pc and is decrypted locally. Its essentially the same as option 1, just 1000x more convenient.

    Id only selfhost vaultwarden if you want bitwardens premium features, if you dont then youre maintaining a service which you wouldnt really need. Not to mention if you selfhost on a machine on your network, you have to deal with exposing that machine to the internet, not really worth it imo.

  • Trump says he's pleased by Putin's praise: 'I like that he said that'

    Jump

  • "But I would say certain things to Putin. I would say certain things to Zelenskyy," " I would get him into a room. I’d get Zelenskyy into a room. Then I’d bring them together. And I’d have a deal worked out."

    Ahahahahaa, reads like something a child would say 🤡

  • Video shows school employee hitting 3-year-old nonverbal autistic child in the head and knocking him to the floor, attorney alleges

  • I hope that dude gets his teeth kicked in. Slamming any kids head is beyond evil. Sub-human trash.

    My Adventures With Superman Season 2 Gets Official Announcement

    Jump

  • The show was alright, glad it's got a second season, but it's not really world news is it...?

  • How to install Starfield

    Jump

  • I tried running it with lutris but that didn't work, I got an error saying I had a non compatible GPU (getting nms release day vibes lol)

    In the end I added starfield.exe as a non steam game in steam, and forced proton under compatibility properties and it worked

  • I LOVE MANUAL TRANSMISSION

    Jump

  • Yeah 100%, I've been driving around a bit more today and I'm starting to get the gist of it, it just threw me off the first time it happened cuz it happened while tryna merge lol. I'm used to using my hands for the throttle as I got my bike license first, its not a 1:1 transfer aha

    Edit: I should add that I'm in the UK and I'm learning, I've done alot of lessons and my instructor says I'm test ready. I'll be doing it in a manual but I wanted some experience on the road without the pressure of an instructor before my test in a couple of months so I'm driving a family members car. It's much more powerful than my instructors car so the finesse is really important and I'm not used to it

  • I LOVE MANUAL TRANSMISSION

    Jump

  • I drove an automatic for the first time yesterday. Tryna put my foot down to merge but the car had other ideas and changed gears. Granted, it changed down to give me more power, but I'll decide when I want to change gears thank you very much.
