We need augmented reality glasses with uBlock Origin now more them ever. Fuck United Airlines and the ad-riddled plane they flew in on.

It will do no such thing.

Microsoft's newest tactic to convert Windows 10 users is giving them a big comparison list by GasMaskedLunatic in c/technology@lemmy.world

There is not a single thing Windows 11 does better than Windows 10 that benefits me. I'm sure I'll get a good chuckle out of that list.

Windows Shares Inaccessible after Network Reconfiguration (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I recently encountered an error with my router that required a factory reset in order to fix. I figured since I was already resetting everything, I'd might as well reorganize my network. I switched from 192 to 10 based IPs. I got all my devices configured and everything connects to the internet fine, no hiccups anywhere, except when I try to access my Windows network shares using any device on the network. They worked prior to the reconfiguration, but I also did updates when rebooting the machines, so I don't know what the problem is. The errors I get are 0x80004005 (Unspecified error) when attempting to access \10.0.1.{deviceIP} and 0x80070035 (The network path was not found.) when attempting to access \{deviceName}. I've disabled all my firewalls, I've tried the registry changes, reconfiguring services, reconfiguring and even resetting network settings (including NetBIOS), and I'm out of ideas as to what the issue could be. The device shows up under Network on other devices, but attempting to access it hangs for a minute or two and then gives 0x80070035. FWIW, my network is configured to have 10.0.0.x be infrastructure (router and DNS), 10.0.1.x be personal devices (PCs, laptops, phones, anything I own, etc.), and 10.0.2.x is DHCP for visiting/guest devices or anything I can't configure myself.

Any help is appreciated.

That fucking snitch. You're supposed to keep it private and let Microsoft figure it out themselves.

Zuckerberg says Meta's Llama 3 is really good but no chatbot is sophisticated enough to be an 'existential' threat — yet by GasMaskedLunatic in c/technology@lemmy.world

That's exactly what a chatbot sophisticated enough to be an existential threat would say.

I want to build a proper server with room for 40+ HDDs to move my media server to and have RAID 1. I know a lot about PCs and software, but when it comes to server hardware I have no clue what I'm doing. How would I go about building a server that has access to 40+ RAID 1'd HDDs?

Wow. I'm totally shocked that Facebook would launch a free VPN out of nowhere and then use it for nefarious purposes. I was sure they just wanted to help humanity. /s

Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator must cease operations after $2.4M lawsuit by GasMaskedLunatic in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

With all that free money, it looks like Nintendo will be just fine if I never purchase another one of their games. Hell, I may even offer to hack some of my friends' systems just to spite Nintendo.

Could you please delete this post and post it again so we can all dislike it a fourth time? I need more dopamine.

Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend? by GasMaskedLunatic in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

The only recommendation I can provide is a Google Pixel device with GrapheneOS. Graphene is only designed to work on Pixels because they are (allegedly) the most secure mobile phone hardware-wise. Once you flash Graphene, it's up to you to install any apps beyond the basic browser (Vanadium), gallery, camera, caller, SMS, PDF viewer, contacts, file manager, and security/system apps. No Google involved without your permission, though you will have to install Google services, available via a Graphene mirror and sandboxed for privacy, IF you want to install an eSIM after flashing Graphene. If you're interested in further information, please let me know. I use it, love it, and am happy to provide any information you may need to decide if it's a good fit for you or not.
