Does that remove any on device AI the pixel camera does? Or is it just an uncompressed version of the same photo?

No it doesn't, but my 75yo dad has been asking/thinking about switching when Windows 10 eol.

Most of my Linux/Unix experience is at the server level.

Doesn't help on my Nvidia shield

I primarily watch on a Nvidia shield. We have smarttubenext or something on there but I watch so much I want all the history/subs synced through to all devices. So for my TV it's a pain.

I can hide them 30 days at a time from the browser but I'd live for them to not ever show up or show up under the subscriptions tab

Massive Verizon outage — live updates and what to do with iPhone in SOS in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] dmtalon@infosec.pub 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ya, I went for a walk and had my phone/ear buds in and as soon as I got away from the house it stopped working. Tried toggling airplane mode, and rebooting, no luck. When I got back I had a msg from my wife asking if I'd changed our verizon service.

Outside of Cincinnati and noticed I had no service around 11am. Started checking around ant it seems it's pretty widespread.

YouTube Premium is getting a huge price hike in over a dozen countries, sparking user backlash. Some countries are experiencing hikes between 30% and 50% in c/technology@lemmy.world

YouTube is but one, and as I said while the story is about yt I was talking Mir in general. How do you pay for content/services in general?

Right now with via ads or a subscription.

McDonald's Experience by non McDonald's patron. (infosec.pub)
 

So, I never visit McDonald's. Oddly, I have managed to visit them twice this year. Once a month ago while traveling and it just worked out that it made the most sense when we stopped for fuel while traveling.

And second last night. We were at the lake late and coming home just before 9pm. Most non chain places were closing, and the only local spot open was McDonald's. Had the whole family including my visiting parents.

The experience was pretty awful. First, they had 3 employees in the building, and the expectation was that you use the Kiosk. I didn't have 'strong' opinions of having to use it vs. speaking to a human. However after ordering 4 meals on it, it is quite the nightmare for the casual visitor. Probably took 4x as long to order our food.

My parents took their order on a second Kiosk and were not even able to complete their order (Parents are in their mid 70s). Not sure what happened, I wasn't watching them. My dad was quite irritated at this point.

After asking one of the humans multiple times for help, he took their order at the register.

<insert 30 minute wait for food>

Our food was placed in their pickup area in bags with napkins (store napkin holder empty). Nearly every burger was overcooked and quite dry. Both my buns were hard. The fry's were luke warm and not very fresh. The meal for 2 adults and 2 14yos was $40 bux.

I saw a story on Lemmy last week about how McDonald's profits were down and the general consensus was that it was the over priced food. While I'm sure that has an impact I believe the Kiosk, slow 'fast food' and overall experience has to be a huge negative.

My parents were PISSED, and they are historically huge McD Patrons. At least in their case, the price will not be why they do not return. Its the awful experience.

Pixel 8 Pro - studdery scrolling and moving back to main feed (infosec.pub)
 

Was hoping this would sort itself out, but after a couple weeks it's still there. Scrolling not always smooth, and swiping back from a post is always very studdery.

Wondering if others are experiencing this? Phone is 2 weeks old, came from a Pixel 7 Pro which didn't have this problem.
