‘End-to-end encrypted’ smart toilet camera is not actually end-to-end encrypted in c/pulse_of_truth@infosec.pub
[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No, I know. I didn't see any possible market for a product like this, but you shared you're already doing what this product does, but manually. So I was wondering how much value you see here.

Don't know if it changed since you commented, but the article I read included a bunch more than that

Would you consider spending $600 plus $7/month for this? (Assuming it was actually secure not like this one)

What could they possibly tell me about my health by visually inspecting my shit? I see the website mentions detecting blood, but pretty sure I can do that too...

I get you're saying that they adjust the 1963 cost for inflation. (vs tripling today's cost of food) I can't agree if that was enough in that time, because how would I know? But sure, let's say it was. It doesn't follow that adjusted for inflation it would be enough now.

As the author wrote, there seems to be significantly more inflation in other expenses than in food. Doing the math on what we think are reasonable expenses can show what a "real" poverty line is.

High school senior, a U.S. citizen, detained by ICE in Oregon in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

I think we should have open borders. That said, not everyone does. Many more people have a problem with citizens being detained because the supposed focus of these raids is people in the country illegally (and supposedly people who are criminals).

Talking about how they're detaining citizens highlights that the actions are indiscriminate, and that really they want to target any brown people. It shows they don't care about the law. It's also telling people in a protected class, "hey, they can come for you too."

I don't need anymore evidence of that, but some people do. And when we stop calling it out it becomes de facto acceptable.

German public broadcasting radio has presented the Matrix messenger protocol as becoming increasingly popular in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk
[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

That's great. Am I right in thinking another advantage matrix has over Signal is that with matrix apps you're not required to have a phone number to create the account?

Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I'm an atheist, but if you read about Jesus specifically you won't find a lot of hate.

The wizard who is forcing you to do this said you have to actually be playing, you can't be in a manager or commentator type role

What are the important differences between the RSF and army in Sudan? (lemmy.world)
 

In the little western media I've seen covering Sudan, the general impression I get is that the RSF is worse in terms of human rights abuses, but that initially the army and RSF initiated a coup together.

Is it just two power hungry factions falling out, or are there deeper ideological differences? For example I came across a reddit comment saying RSF are atheist ultra-nationalists, which may be true or false, but I haven't come across much info characterizing the two sides motivations at all. I'm interested to know more, I don't feel like the coverage I've seen has been in depth.

How do you manage tasks / to do lists at your job? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm interested in ways that people document, prioritize and execute items they need to do. What have you found useful?

For me: I don't particularly care about other Outlook functionality, but flagging emails and managing them in the sidebar has helped me a lot. I have it set to display only items due today, and then sorted into categories like "now," "soon," "pending." If I don't expect to get to an item today I change the due date to tomorrow or next week. Items don't have to be based on an email either, you can just type into the sidebar text field.

When I get emails I either immediately reply, flag it for later action, or ignore, and then I drop all emails into one giant folder. If I need to find something I do it all by search.

I've tried other systems like gmail's to do list, but it feels like way more friction to accomplish the same things, especially wanting to only view tasks due today, and categorizing tasks.

Likewise I've tried to-do-list apps, but not being able to instantly convert an email into a task, and not having documentation easily at hand when I go to perform the task makes them feel more burdensome.

What is the best way to dispose of HID headlight bulbs? (lemmy.world)
 

Recently replaced the headlight bulbs for my car and saw the box indicated you shouldn't put them in the garbage because they contain mercury. I know that some retailers like home depot have a program to recycle florescent bulbs, but my understanding is that's specifically for residential bulbs (like the kind you might get at home depot). AutoZone will take back some parts but don't appear to have a program for bulbs. What's the easiest, responsible way to dispose of these?

Are there foods that dogs can safely eat but humans can't? (lemmy.world)
 

No, not talking about their own shit or vomit, har de har. I mean how dogs can't have chocolate, can't eat grapes. Are there things it's no big deal for them but would be toxic for us.
