Not at all everyone has their own set of boundaries and if you don't want to do something for a stranger that's OK too.

Tbh if I was naked and stripped of all my belongings I'd reach out to the police and hopefully they could help or at least get me a phone call and some clothes

Edit: Nvm I think I understood the question the first time

Since it got answered already encryption is also another layer that can be implemented to further make it unrecoverable

Think the only criticism they might face is a having an all your eggs in one basket situation (VPN, browser and now even a search engine). But honestly this is a welcome addition to search engines imo.

Hit up thrift stores they always have a pile in decent shape. Just test them at an outlet

Not a professional but they look kind of deep and big might need to be replaced or covered with a rug (we won't tell anyone they're there)

Gonna try to answer this as neutral as I can but frankly speaking when they said "I do" they made a pact to respect each other's wishes and to establish whatever boundaries they deem is necessary to keep both themselves and each other happy amongst other things. Although some outsiders might have different opinions on what's right or wrong that doesn't mean that it applies to what they consider is right or wrong. If the husband said they didn't feel comfortable and the partner is respecting their partners feelings, not being forced to, it doesn't give another person outside the right to say that they are in the wrong since its their relationship. Unless you think she's being physical, mentally abused or manipulated which judging from the story is a no.

I guess the best idea I can come up with is that healing pod from Elysium that can cure and heal everything

[–] Extrasvhx9he@lemmy.today 1 points 5 months ago

I wish I knew 100% but maybe through some kind of automation application like tasker or something similar

[–] Extrasvhx9he@lemmy.today 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I luckily found a way to end myself in that scenario or I luckily never experienced that in the first place and had a wonderful life. Luck very subjective to the person that's why there's no drawbacks to it

Yeah all my drives are encrypted with LUKS mostly because of home burglaries (bad area and whatnot). I still keep backups regardless on drives that are also encrypted

Easy: Max out luck. Literally no downsides

 

I know I can't ask for help here and tipofmytongue has already been used also various chatbots so I'm kind out of options and I'm wondering if you guys know any other forums or websites to help me find a movie/short film title that a friend can't remember? They only remember some of the scenes and tone of the cinematography

 

I always wondered this since I noticed that a lot of cars always have at least some damage to their pinch weld jack points, usually from hydraulic jacks, lack of adapters, or dropping the car onto jack stands hard. I get it not everyone has the right equipment or experience but it also seems like a poor and cheap design from the manufacturers. Why hasn't there been a method or aftermarket product that kinda bulks up the pinch welds. Hell I don't think I ever seen someone even weld or bolt on some steel to kind of guard the pinch welds from bending. Is there a reason for that, like structurally? Why are those hockey puck looking adapters the norm, just because its easier?

Tldr: Many vehicles suffer damage to their pinch weld jacking points from improper use of jacks, prompting the question of why there isn't a robust aftermarket solution or protective design from manufacturers to prevent this issue, besides those hockey puck looking adapters?

Hope this is okay to post here but I noticed some problems coming from what I assume is the ECM of my car overheating, speed gauge going crazy, engine stalling/shutting down but acting normal after a few minutes to cool down and weirder part no error codes. So I looked under the hood and noticed it only relies on a heatsink and the position is close to the engine itself (about 1 foot away), nothing connected to the radiator and I doubt any good airflow is getting to it. Pair that with the 113°F weather I'm experiencing everyday, I can see why it'll overheat and shutdown to protect itself. I never opened one before so I'm a bit worried about doing that but I'm sure there's some kind of thermal interface that can be changed. Doubt that will address the main issue though, so I'm also thinking heat shield and if i can fit it even a PC fan. I'm open to suggestions on other ideas though

So TLDR: I'm wondering if you guys have any ideas on how to improve the temperature of the ECM located near an engine in scorching desert heat?

Edit: Thinking the issue might be a faulty TCM instead (kind of a pain with no error codes) still will improve the thermals of the ECM since its kinda a shit design. The duct and heat shield might be a better long term idea so thank you all who helped.

Edit 2: Took 2 months but finally got some codes to trigger after heat cycling while flushing my coolant system, I guess. All the codes I have can be triggered by a faulty TCM so I'm 90% its that. So yayyy I don't have to guess anymore.

 

Been using signal for years and love it and got the majority of my contacts on to it. My question is how are usernames useful now? You still need to register with a phone number with signal to limit spam and bots afaik and I'm assuming you should protect your username just like you do your phone number anyways because spam, malicious files/messages, etc... What scenario is this addressing where an average person gives up their username to a stranger? The only one I can think of is online dating or other online interactions like on forums. Just seems this is just more tailored to the people who need to be pseudo-anonymous for whatever reason than an actual privacy feature. Even then for the anonymous people does that mean usernames will be able to be changed?

Tldr: Questioning what scenario does signal's new usernames address for the average Joe?

Edit: Just realized can be very useful for work relationships

Wiki for android packages

Another post made me wonder if there is some kind of wiki or website for android packages with descriptions that can/should be removed via adb. Back when I had a bloated phone, about 3 years back, I remember how much of a pain in the ass this was and had to go through XDA developers and reddit posts just to get the info on which to not remove. Has this process changed since?

To start off: I was explaining to my friend that I don't have a grounding point in my house (plumbing is PVC, outlets are gcfi protected only, not allowed to drive a grounding rod into the ground, etc...) and that I've just been handling sensitive electronics with just luck and preparation (humidity, moisturizer, no synthetic clothing, etc...) all this time. He told me to just wire myself to a good, multimeter tested, grounding point in a car and that will discharge any built-up static electricity. I'm not smart enough to argue with him on this subject but that doesnt seem the safest. Would that work or should I just keep doing my method? My understanding is that chassis grounding is essentially replacing wires with the frame so the outcome would just be connecting myself to the negative terminal of a car battery.

Tldr: I'm explaining my lack of a grounding point at home for sensitive electronics and is advised by my friend to wire myself to a grounded point in a car to discharge built-up static electricity. However, I'm uncertain about the safety of this suggestion and questions whether my current method of handling electronics with precautions is sufficient.

Edit: lmao people are really getting hung up on the no grounded outlet part. Umm my best explanation I guess is that its an older house that had 2 prong outlets and was "updated" with gfci protected outlets afterwards think the breakers as well. My understanding is that its up to code but I'm not an electrician. As for the plumbing I'm sure there's still copper somewhere but the majority has been updated to pvc over the years. Again it's not my house I don't want to go biting the hand that feeds me. Thank you though, haha

Edit #2: thank you all so much for the helpful advice, I really appreciate all of you!

Basically just the title. With DVDs getting tossed to the wind it made me wonder when will blu-rays go? I'm gonna miss bloopers and extra scenes

Edit: A bit confused but the general consensus is that in some areas BRs have already began to be phased out while in others they're just trucking along perfectly fine. It'll be that way until they stop being profitable to the studios who make them. Is that correct? I don't think the 8k argument is valid imo since that's really niche currently.

 

This always puzzled me. Why don't humans act much more aggressive or crazed like its often depicted with animals. Afaik there's 2 types of rabies, "dumb" and "furious" so my question is more towards the 2nd type. For example, we never hear of rabies causing a human to accidentally bite another human so why is that?

 

Just curious what are the top 3 podcasts you listened to this year on whatever platform. Antennapod released a feature that summarized your year and well the amount of hours kinda surprised me in a good way, haha.

Edit: Mine were

  • The let's read podcast
  • Therapy gecko
  • How To Survive
 

Hi everyone, I'm In the need of an offline calendar and gallery now that simplemobiletools got sold off. I'm wondering what you guys use? My bad if the formatting is weird on this post, I'm trying out a new lemmy client

Edit what I found so far

Gallery replacment: gallery

 

Hey just wondering if its a problem on my end but a self update notification indicating a newer version of signal keeps popping up. I already have the latest version of the apk, 6.40.4, installed from their website, but the notification does not go away. I click it and then it states the application has been updated but after a few minutes later it pops up again. Not sure where to ask this but I would assume this place is one of the best places to interact with people that also use signal's non-playstore apk. Is this a bug on my end or are you experiencing it too?

Edit: forgot to mention I'm on grapheneos if thats a factor

Edit 2: apparently it was already reported on github and I missed it
