corbin@infosec.pubOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Why can't we go back to small phones?English3·2 months agoNot really, even the cheap phones have large screens now. There’s no correlation anymore between price and screen size, the cheap phones just have lower quality panels.
corbin@infosec.pubOPto Technology@lemmy.world•No, Sony Isn’t Ending Blu-ray Disc ProductionEnglish13·4 months agoSeemingly only in Japan, though.
corbin@infosec.pubOPto Technology@lemmy.world•I missed out on 3D movies, but they're back in VREnglish3·4 months agoYeah it would be nice to get Movies Anywhere or something fully on board. All the movie studios are sitting on 3D movies already, they just need to make the app(s).
The Mozilla FUD where I said I like Firefox and pointed out how many of the projects continued in some form after Mozilla ended them?
corbin@infosec.pubOPto Technology@beehaw.org•These repairable phones still aren't built to last8·8 months agoEven if official support isn’t possible past a certain point (Google and Samsung are pushing 7+ years, fwiw), all phones need to have a bootloader unlock mechanism for unofficial support past that point. LineageOS or mobile Linux with some broken functionality is still better than nothing.
corbin@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What book that hasn't been adapted into a TV show or movie do you think deserves an adaptation?11·9 months agoThe entire 2001: A Space Odyssey series should be a TV show.
Stock price is largely about future earnings potential, not current quarter or past results. That’s why a company can have record-breaking earnings, but still eat shit in stock price for a while if it lowers predictions for next quarter.
The layoffs were announced at the same time as Intel’s Q2 financial results: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/actions-accelerate-our-progress.html
If you want to beat inflation, dump the money in a high-yield savings account, or a 401k, or a stock index, or any of the other options that have something resembling banking protection/regulation. There are so many better options than a speculative investment that you lose entirely with a social engineering attack or a SIM swap.
Bitcoin’s value is significantly more volatile than the US Dollar.
Okay, not the point.
Some of the “drawbacks” are the only way Firefox works as well as it does. If Mozilla didn’t have usage telemetry data, automated crash reports, etc, Firefox would be a much worse application. This is how modern software development works when you have millions of users across a dozen or more platforms.
Firefox is faster than Chromium in many benchmarks, depending on the OS: https://arewefastyet.com/win10/benchmarks/overview?numDays=60
LibreWolf only exists because Mozilla does all the actual development and runs all the infrastructure. That’s like saying the US Virgin Islands should take over the rest of the United States.
If websites want my business they’ll support my browser.
Sure, but that goes both ways, which is the part where you start losing a lot of privacy evangelists and Firefox fans. You are entitled to full control over your device and browsing experience, and sites retain the right to block browsers interfering with ads, trackers, or whatever else the sites use to pay the bills. A lot of people want it both ways and that cannot work at scale.

corbin@infosec.pubOPto Technology@beehaw.org•How to install yt-dlp on Windows, Mac, and Linux1·10 months agoNothing specific, just that Chocolately is what I’ve used the most over the years and seems to be pretty reliable.
A classic.
