Some apps have weird names and I forget what they’re called. Showing a “new” badge, even if it’s just for the first few times I open the app, makes it more likely that I’ll remember the app’s name.

dan@upvote.auto Technology@lemmy.world•PSA: Stop Using These Fire-Prone Anker Power Banks Right NowEnglish6·10 days agoTheir products are still solid. Any brand can have issues with their batteries (other companies use the same cells), and I don’t see a reason to avoid their non-battery products like cables and chargers.
dan@upvote.auto Technology@lemmy.world•PSA: Stop Using These Fire-Prone Anker Power Banks Right NowEnglish5·10 days agoI’ve got a PowerCore 20000k (20Ah). I wonder why the 10Ah version is “fire-prone” but the 20Ah version isn’t.

In that case, the data is practically meaningless :D
dan@upvote.auto News@lemmy.world•Trump still would have won in 2024 even if everyone had turned out to vote, Pew finds1·13 days agoI don’t know how participants in polls are selected, so I’m not really qualified to make assumptions about it.
dan@upvote.auto News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court upholds Texas' age verification law for porn sites4·13 days agodon’t use their DNS
As long as you use encrypted DNS, like DoH (DNS over HTTPS). Regular DNS is unencrypted, so the ISP can trivially collect data even if you use a custom recursive server (either your own or a public one like Cloudflare, Quad9, etc).
Running a recursor on a VPS then querying it using DoH seems like a reasonable approach to me. I’ve got an AdGuard Home server on my home network that uses DoH for all upstream DNS queries, but I’m currently just using Quad9 rather than my own recursor.
dan@upvote.auto News@lemmy.world•Trump still would have won in 2024 even if everyone had turned out to vote, Pew finds1·13 days agoYou really don’t need to survey many people to get statistically significant results, assuming your sample is truly random. For a population of 340 million, you only need to randomly sample ~2500 people to get a 95% confidence interval with a 2% margin of error.
A sample of 9000 people would get you closer to a 99%+ confidence interval.

dan@upvote.auto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one [OwnTracks]English16·18 days agoBecause of various privacy legislation, and people not wanting Google to track them as much, they stopped syncing the data to Google servers. As someone who’s worked at big tech companies, my guess would be that storing so many people’s location history was flagged as an issue during a privacy audit.
It’s entirely local now. You can enable encrypted backups and back up the data, however you can really only have the data on one device now, and the web version is gone.
Why are there so many moth posts these days? Isn’t that an old meme?

What type of taxes are you talking about?
dan@upvote.auto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Long-term feedback: SONOFF SNZB-02D humidity/temperature sensorEnglish11·18 days agoThat’s what the name means :D
CR2032 is 20mm in diameter and 3.2mm thick.Some smart home devices use the CR2450 rather than the CR2032.
dan@upvote.auto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 motherboards with chips are already available for $124 in China — PCBs sourced directly from the production lineEnglish7·19 days agoThat’s the price in Japan - it’d likely be higher in the USA, plus the motherboard itself would also cost more due to tariffs.
dan@upvote.auto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 motherboards with chips are already available for $124 in China — PCBs sourced directly from the production lineEnglish58·19 days agoIf just the board costs $124, then Nintendo charging $175 for replacement seems totally reasonable. $51 for labour isn’t bad.
TypeScript doesn’t need the “function” keyword for a method in an object or on a class though.
const foo = { bar(): string { ... } }
which I assume is doable because the syntax is unambiguous.
In PHP’s case, the method syntax should also be unambiguous.
The mentioned products have had major releases recently. Has anything major happened with Proxmox recently?
