Where is this? Düsseldorf Central Station?

Tello gives you a real (US though) number, E911 and all, for 5 USD a month. You get an eSIM you can activate from anywhere in the world via Wi-Fi Calling. Send and receive unlimited texts and get 100 minutes a month for the odd service that insists on verification calls rather than texts. I've had zero issues.

Ever wanted to call your manager a 🤡 without them noticing? Even if they do notice, there's not a lot of leeway to act on it based on a message like this.

Session disables forward secrecy for no reason.

Personally, I assume it's a honeypot.

Like basically all cloud providers, Oracle publish their public-facing IP address ranges.

https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/addressranges.htm

Many services block these because, as you are pointing out, standing up VPN tunnel routing on a cloud instance is sort of trivial. Cloud providers publish these ranges specifically so anyone can block them easily. If lemmy.world is not blocking Oracle Cloud already, it's only because they just haven't come around to it.

The Switch catalog was limited in no small part because the device just couldn't give acceptable performance for a lot of contemporary cross-platform games. That, of course, didn't matter for first-party titles.

Switch 2 performance is projected to end up somewhere around a base PS4, with better GPU but somewhat diminished CPU. However, it's going to have more memory than the Xbox Series S that teams had trouble porting their games to.

The Switch 2 might benefit a lot from this generation's extended cross-gen period. Add that to franchises like Fire Emblem, Metroid, Mario, Mario Kart, Pikmin and Zelda, and the average consumer is going to think of Steam as the "limited" platform.

A lot of conjecture, and maybe Switch 2 will turn out to be a monumental flop. I'm cautiously optimistic.

By the way, the old, selective policy that Nintendo exercised is pretty much a thing of the past. Just browse through the eShop for three minutes.

Nintendo has moved over 140 million Switch consoles. The Switch 2 might become more, or less successful, but let's just conservatively assume they'll only sell half as many this time around.

Last time I checked, the entire Deck-like category amounted to some seven-digit number of sold devices. The idea that anyone targeting that level of performance is going to skip the Switch 2… is wildly unrealistic.

Mullvad has a 30-day money back guarantee.

Apart from that, some payment methods (like crypto) allow transmitting arbitrary amounts. At least, paying for years in advance works without issue. You could pay a few cents and try it out, but be mindful of fees.

Auf der einen Seite: "hm, vielleicht werden dann Teslas in den nächsten Monaten günstiger, wenn sie nicht mehr gekauft, oder sogar aktiv abgestoßen werden".

Auf der anderen Seite wäre es interessant, wenn dann irgendwelche Regierungsorgane und/oder Staatsanwälte darauf hinarbeiten, dass die Firma eines Nazi-Sympathisanten in Deutschland nicht mehr geschäftsfähig ist.

In the specific case of Mastodon, an instance pretty much only receives a post via federation if one of its users either follows the creator of that post, or is mentioned in it.

Discoverability suffers, because this also applies to replies to a post even if you follow its poster. You might see them, or you might not. You look at the post history of one of the users in a thread and it comes up empty.

This is not much of a problem if you're in one of the, say, top five instances, but beyond that, many functions become increasingly unreliable. Instead of one big microblogging ocean, it feels more like an assortment of a few lakes and myriad puddles with only tenuous interconnection.

Personally, I've kinda given up on finding (or creating) my One True Instance and am resorting to having profiles on all of the biggest instances. This also has the advantage that arbitrary defederation decisions affect me to a much lesser extent.

You know, anyone making negative comments… The bees go get 'em.

Almost all extensions will weaken your security posture. In fact off the top of my head there are basically only two kinds of extensions that could improve it:

• ad blockers
• (maybe!) password manager integrations

Anything else is questionable at best. Maybe you could create browser profiles where you install extensions somewhat more liberally, with decreased expectation of safety.

I'd like to imagine their pineapple pizza was the absolute best there is on planet Earth, but in spite of (or maybe because of) that they just fucking hate making it.

Basically, the Ronnie O'Sullivan of pie shops.

When Squadron 42 finally comes out, it'll just be considered commentary on contemporary issues. Basically like Job Simulator… in space

When the generation parameters take up more space than the image itself…!

Well, screen space at least.

No one, since I am simply too delusional to believe "it could never happen". Put another way, I see myself as a "temporarily embarrassed ladykiller".

According to my mom, the calcium off her teeth.

"My dentition was so great, but then you came."

I'd argue this counts as dog-sitting. The dog is around people in every panel, and actual sitting (i.e. doing nothing else) isn't required.

With Genshin being as popular as it is, expect the next Zelda to become a Gacha-fueled live service game, with drip-fed narrative and piecemeal dungeons.

As long as that doesn't happen, I'd say we're still okay.
