Apparently not in Windows settings:

If the BIOS says it supports Modern Standby, Windows takes it at its word and completely disables the ability to enter S3 sleep (classic standby). There’s no official or documented option for disabling Modern Standby through Windows, which is incredibly annoying.

Side note: for a while, there was actually a registry setting you could change to disable Modern Standby on the Windows side. Unfortunately, Microsoft removed it, and to my knowledge, has never added it back.

I'm not a Windows user, so I can't confirm one way or the other, but toward the end of the end of the article the author gives vendor-specific instructions for disabling the S0 Low Power Idle capability from BIOS.

For anyone as confused as I was: yes, this is indeed a link post on lemmy.world pointing to an article on kbin.social hosted by kbin.projectsegfau.lt and ultimately linking to social.bbc.

The old Fedi switcharoo.

Thanks for this. I skimmed the proposal doc itself and didn't quite understand the concern people have with it – most of the concerns that came to my own mind are already listed as non-goals. The first few lines of this comment express a realistic danger that's innate to what's actually being proposed.

The Verge article is paywalled for me, but the screencaps Alex shared in his toot don't really support his summary. The article mentions that Threads can import content from Mastodon as an example of the sorts of things ActivityPub supports, and that's about as close as it gets.

And then there's this:

The company is planning to create a roundtable for administrators of other servers and developers to share best practices and work through problems that will inevitably arise, like Meta's server traffic putting strain on other, smaller servers.

Emphasis mine. How would Meta's server put strain on other, smaller servers if it's not federating with them?

I'm fully willing to believe Meta wants to EEE ActivityPub, but this particular claim doesn't seem to check out.

Anyone found any decent wireless ones with replaceable batteries? I was interested in the Fairbuds XL but it's not well reviewed.

For a while I had a pair of Sennheiser TV headphones that took AAAs, but they required a dedicated transmitter and weren't great for music anyway.

This reply's interesting:

How can data licensed under the CC-BY-SA licenses (that SO content is licensed under) be "misused"? The license explictly allows others to do essentially anything they want with the data as long as attribution is given, in particular profit off of it.

When SO content is applied as parametric knowledge I'd expect the outcome to fail both the "BY" and the "SA" clauses, since model interpreters can't provide attribution for it and their output won't share the license. That's true even if output is considered public domain: CC-BY-SA content can't be moved into a public domain equivalent license. It seems practically indistinguishable from using any other in-copyright content as training material.

None of that's to say SO is right to stop data dumps. It feels like they're trying to find a technical solution to a legal problem, perhaps even one that rises to criminality on the part of Open AI and others?

Similar here. Our new Sony came with Google TV, but it turns out you can set it up in "basic TV" mode which is nice for this: it strips away the clutter and leaves you with what's effectively a dumb TV. I can still install firmware updates via a thumb drive.

I agree with your parenthetical strongly enough to rule out a typo.

This announcement lists things that Reddit will humor, for now, and as a way of cheaply outsourcing niche and difficult problems. It clarifies that everyday third party apps were never intended to have a future with the platform. They're simply an obstacle for Reddit's most convincing path to revenue.

I might even have forgiven Reddit if it had said so up front, but the story they've been trying to spin – with prices that just happen to be orders of magnitude in excess of anything devs might afford – is outrageously insulting. I've never had my trust in a brand demolished so thoroughly so quickly.
