I'm using Qwant for a couple of months, on both PC and phone, both in Firefox, it works well.

Wow great UID, I am here on /. since before we could have username and all too, 1998 or something? Glad to see old coots like us are still here!

They broke support, for the username, maybe 20 years ago, my username was "Frédéric54" but after a slashcode update I was unable to log, I had to contact CmdrTaco to debug this and it was because they broke accented characters badly. Taco had to rename my username in the database...

> Or turn it off, but is that 100% safe?

It seems not, because IIRC my Pixel 10 says that even if for instance a thief steal my phone and shutdown it, it will still be traceable for a few hours.

After an invite I got the firstname of my daughter in ~2005, she was 2yo! Let's say her email is something like emilie@gmail.com it's pretty neat.

This is really sad, I started with Arduino in 2007 or something, you just needed an ATMEGA168 and a few component around and you were in business. Add some sensors, inputs, a 16x2 LCD, and you could do a lot of fun things :) Now they propose something like a rPi ?!?

about the clock!! https://thebulletin.org/doomsd...

I am using Public Mobile and my Poco F3 is not in their whitelist but I can "bypass the carrier check" and have VoLTE, it works fine. A lot of carrier can be bypassed.

But some like Rogers or Fido will block your IMEI or charge you 75$/month if your phone is not in their list, this is unacceptable.

In Québec this is our first phone-free school year too, I know some parents and children want to basically strike and protest, because helicopter parents will not be tethered anymore...

Yes, but only some places like theatres and mall centre. I think in houses it is something like 4%, compared to 90% in Florida or even 60% in Canada.

Working from home, as a contractor, so always connected to client via VPN. A contract could be done with a 1MB link because there is about no comm needed, another contract for a broadcasting company required downloading/uploading gigs and gigs of video per day and the gigabit link makes a big difference here.

When I saw the poster for the new Fantastic Four movie, I thought it was generated by AI or by a fan in his basement. Then I saw the trailer... oh boy... this looks horrible... About all Marvel movies have bad CGI, bad acting, and dull and shallow scenario.

I guess they didn't know AWS right and for them it was easier to make it public than to write a small JSON in the Permissions/Bucket Policy to allow access by giving the ARN IAM role etc.

I have to agree, I'm old and played pong, old coleco/atari etc and 8bit games before consoles and all, and I must say Doom was a turning point in gaming.

I tap to pay since ~2016, checking account or credit card, both are in Google Pay, I never went back.

I only use cash for things I buy on Marketplace and even then, in Canada we do interac transfer it's instantaneous and free.
