It’s mostly a skill issue for services that go down when USE-1 has issues in AWS - if you actually know your shit, then you don’t get these kinds of issues.

Case in point: Netflix runs on AWS and experienced no issues during this thing.

And yes, it’s scary that so many high-profile companies are this bad at the thing they spend all day doing

This seems like it could be a fun project. Mind making a post about the build sometime?

Jellyfin is better anyway

I wish this were true, but as a multi-year Plex-to-Jellyfin migrant, I have to point out that Plex was the better software.

I still choose to run Jellyfin for other reasons (don’t like the commercial path Plex is taking, among others), but I still do miss the better reliability and larger feature set in the Plex software stack.

The caveat there is that you’re personally responsible to maintain backups of your image catalog when self-hosting.

Not really, it’s not feasible for open source developers to get the kind of access required from payment providers to make it work.

Obfuscation only makes the effort of decompilation take a bit longer - fundamentally, they are going to be executing the bytecode on your device, and that cannot be hidden from you.

I’m speaking from experience here - I’ve decompiled multiple APKs before, all containing bytecode that has been obfuscated by ProGuard. It’s a bit harder than reading source code, but with some practice it’s always possible to figure out what’s going on in the end.

Feel free to decompile them - it’s all there in the APK, you don’t have to live in doubt.

Guy bought the U.S government, I’m sure he can figure something out

For tech, check out Hard Fork.

Given that they own all of the source code (CLA is required to contribute), they can just stop offering the code under GPL, unless they happen to have any GPL dependencies not under their control, in which case this would not be viable.

Spill the beans!

It’s highly unlikely that this app even comes up on the radar insofar as competing with Google Maps.

The answer is probably more mundane - an automated system made an incorrect call. It keeps happening when it comes to these Play Store app reviews.

Healthcare is pretty rough, I’d be willing to bet that the grass actually is greener in this case.

32% coal vs 39% renewables, with natural gas making up the majority of the remainder - https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=CO#tabs-4

What a terrible take.

First off, unironically yes on account of higher efficiency in electric engines over combustion engines.

Second, what grids still run on 100% coal? And why would they keep doing that long-term, given that coal is just shit on its own merits?

Ten whole percent of global revenues in fines. Let’s go

This is really cool, but why not upstream the changes instead of forking? Seems like a lost opportunity.

IMEI can’t be read by apps since quite a few versions of Android ago (10, to be specific)

Google is not about to sell this data to anyone, the data is the money maker. They sell ads that are targeted based on the data - if they sell the data, they automatically lose their edge.

Well, you don’t necessarily need to deal with the laundry the second the machine is ready - if you merely set the alarm to be the approximate maximum time, you’re probably going to be fine with the laundry spending half an hour or so sitting wet in the machine.

If the alarm is easy to dismiss, then perhaps a reminder app could be of use. I frequently use Google Tasks with a time for the tasks to cope with everyday life, which sends a notification at the specified time.
