This is one of the points covered several times in The Witcher series. The monsters are doing their thing, and should really only be messed with when they interfere with humans.

Technology@lemmy.world•Discord walks back age verification fears for most usersEnglish
30·4 days agoThey were already doing that.
Every advertising company already monitors you whenever possible to determine things like your age to target ads as effectively as possible. If a isn’t relying on a third party for advertising like Google AdSense, and they’re handling it internally, they definitely know that info.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•TV remotes should have an easy-to-find (by touch) "volume toggle" button that toggles between two volume settings.English
1·4 days agoRoku devices (including the Roku TV models from various manufacturers) have a Night audio mode.
Samsung TVs have an Adaptive Sound mode that does similar. And Samsung soundbars have a Night mode in the SmartThings app.
Sony calls it Night Mode or Night Sound depending on the product.
Google TV also calls it Night Mode.
Hisense calls it Night Mode or Late Night.
Vizio calls it Night Mode
LG calls it Night Time.
Apple TV calls it Reduce Loud Sounds.
I’d say that covers “most”.

2·4 days agoMost modern TVs have a Night audio mode that will compress audio to a smaller spectrum, basically for this exact reason.
Oh most definitely not just software development.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How are locks and keys mass produced?English
2·5 days agoThey won’t bother rekeying, but they normally are buying enough that different sets are inevitable even if they don’t actively try.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How are locks and keys mass produced?English
6·5 days agoNew locks usually tell you what key set they are on the package… So you can buy multiple of the same lock to rekey an entire house.
While the locks can be rekeyed to thousands of options, the prepackaged options will only be a few sets.
Large vehicle suspension components scare the living hell out of me. Seen too many videos online.

6·8 days agoThat really should be the number for comparison anyway given the dramatic variances in ticket costs.
As a non-mechanic that watches various channels working on vehicle sin various states of use and repair… It seems that half of vehicle work seems to require hammers, and the other half a hammer should never be near. And knowing the difference is a mystical art form.

Android@lemmy.world•I’ve been a Motorola fan for years, but the Moto G17 is my breaking pointEnglish
4·9 days agoIt just needs to be the way Android works from that point forward, not something optional. If they want to have an Android phone, with the play store, and everything that comes with the ecosystem, that’s what they have to do. Manufacturers never want to change what they do.

Technology@lemmy.world•TSMC to make advanced 3nm chips in JapanEnglish
12·10 days agoOh they want to… There are quite a few chip fabs around the world… there are very few that can manufacture at this size, along the bleeding edge of the numerous technologies necessary to do so.
Having the knowledge required to build the fab, the actual hardware required to manufacture them, and the skilled personnel to operate it all are hard to do. This is not something that you can toss together in a cave from scraps like Iron Man.
And a lot of that is by design with companies and governments trying to guarantee sovereignty by tightly controlling where these can be manufactured. The idea that enemies are less likely to try to take over/colonize a smaller country (like Taiwan) if the global chip manufacturing apparatus can be destroyed in minutes to prevent it from falling into enemy hands.
20+ years in various customer facing roles has shown me that customers rarely know what they’re talking about. And they are not capable of reading either. The size of any sign is inversely proportional to their ability to even notice it exists.

You should look into where the Nazi rocket scientists went after WW2 and how few of them saw any form of punishment for their involvement.
And that doesn’t even take into account the pseudo-Nazis running the current US government, which is certainly what the other poster was talking about.
Nazis and NASA are like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I’ve had several NDAs that also cover disclosure of the other party. And those weren’t even for proper “work” as you’d generally define it.


This is what I started using about 6 months ago as well. Works good enough for most things around the house. You can upload any documents or pictures relevant to an item as well.
