To be fair, I believe that’s the “Walmart” one op talks about in the post. I believe they do sell a version of this same set top box in the UK and possibly other parts of Europe. So it may be a viable option still.

deliriousdreams@fedia.iotoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•Labor Department Won't Publish October Unemployment Rate
2·15 hours agoProbably because when you shut down the fucking government, and stop paying people, a lot of people suddenly become unemployed.
deliriousdreams@fedia.iotoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•Your Smartphone, Their Rules: App Stores Enable Corporate-Government Censorship
3·24 hours agoYes. But the Trump administration (and their actions) are highlighting the danger for some people who have been completely ignoring this as a problem.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google CEO: If an AI bubble pops, no one is getting out clean
39·1 day agoThis is a threat. They know that they’re using the stock market to find their greed and that anyone with saving tied up there (Retirement funds that are invested in the market) will be on the hook. Plus the tax payer money they’re going to ask for because they’re “too big to fail”.

Games@lemmy.world•GameStop workers say its trade anything day will be a huge mess
9·2 days agoWell. I would have been interested in donating canned goods for charity, but not like this. This is a terrible idea.

Privacy@programming.dev•Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk
8·2 days agoDid something. All my personal computers are on Linux. But my work laptop? Still windows. Even finally got the upgrade to windows 11. And I hate it. So yes. I’m going to complain.

Privacy@programming.dev•Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk
25·2 days agoSigh. Getting real tired of windows 11 doing BS in the background that presents a security risk.
Nobody asked for this Microsoft.

4·2 days agoYour vacuum doesn’t go under furniture more than likely so to clean under there you quit being a janitor to become a furniture mover?
I guess it’s turtles all the way down.

Right to Repair@discuss.tchncs.de•Hyundai Paywalls Brake Pad Changes
3·2 days agoThat’s not what I mean though. What I mean is, in the event that for whatever reason the signal to deactivate the electronic park brake cannot get where it needs to go using the scan tool, there has to be a way to do it manually.
Say your vehicle is in an accident. Say the electronic park brake wiring is in shreds. That brake caliper needs to come off. The body shop is going to require a way to remove it if the scan tool can’t disengage it.
Say there’s corrosion in the connector. Same same. Has to come off and be replaced. And so on.

Right to Repair@discuss.tchncs.de•Hyundai Paywalls Brake Pad Changes
8·2 days agoSo, there has to be a way to manually disengage the park brake. And I say that because otherwise techs wouldn’t work on them. Time is money in the automotive service industry. That information will leak eventually. It’s stupid to even intentionally try this.

3·2 days agoA fair assesment. Except that you have to (and should be) cleaning the upright vacuum as well. Vacuum fires are no joke.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots."
57·4 days agoYeah. I’ve got an 870 that’s still cleaning. It gets stuck under furniture and needs to be rescued at least once a week, and last week it lost its
assdustbin somehow mid clean, but it’s still kicking.

Games@lemmy.world•Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders
73·5 days agoI don’t use my PS5 to surf the web. I know you can use it to watch movies and stuff, but I don’t use it for that either.
At best, it depends on what kind of user most of the console owners are.
I think that data includes the prices for RAM, and the price point they’re hoping to sell it at. I don’t mind the idea of buying this to literally just put in my entertainment center. I wouldn’t even mind upgrading the RAM when it eventually comes down in price or I can save up for it.
But since I already have a steam deck equivalent handheld running Bazzite, I also already have a lot of the peripherals I’d want in order to make this useful for streaming or other services, so it’s not a huge barrier to entry for me. The form factor is what I’m looking for too. Without all the stupid LED’s and BS.
