It’s pretty easy to jailbreak a Kindle and block firmware updates. But the fact that it is necessary in the first place sucks

Turning the existing reactors back on is not an option anymore, they are already being dismantled. Building new ones would not be worth it when investing in renewables is cheaper

Despite no longer sticking to the DIN standard, and climate controls being integrated into the infotainment system, there still exists a big market for aftermarket infotaiment systems, they just have to be engineered for the specific make of car you have. But they can be bought for most cars that have infotaiment systems that are now outdated

Well, there has to be some kind of algorithm. Even picking a random Wikipedia article technically is an algorithm, just not one that adapts to the user

Yeah, there is a tiny amount of good mobile games, like oceanhorn or world of goo. You’re better off just sticking to emulating console games on mobile, than playing native mobile games

Yeah, I’m not gonna tell the 50 users of my plex server to set up wireguard on their devices so they can request movies and TV series on my overseer, when I can instead just use NPM to make it publically accessible with a password prompt

During the early days of Android phones, when most of them shipped with open bootloaders and still had microsd card slots, I’ve seen so many store display phones that were flashed with cyanogenmod by random people

There is not a single one that is better than Google Maps. There are ones that are usable, like Magic Earth, Tomtom and Osmand (and Waze, but that’s technically just Google maps), but the aren’t good

Piracy is a lot more accessible on PCs than consoles

As if WordPress wasn’t insecure enough yet without using cracked plug-ins

They have released a ton of games since then. Even another Zelda.

Just because you can render a game using scripting doesn’t mean your script can escape the PDF reader.

You can build a fully working Turing machine inside PowerPoint, but without an exploit you are still not going to run code outside the PowerPoint environment

For context, what generation of iPad? The difference in the maximum screen brightness of a 1st gen iPad and a current gen iPad is nearly tenfold

Sorry, nuance is not allowed on Lemmy.
