1321·3 days agoShhhh, the pitchforks are out, who needs evidence. In all reality, if you were to be wiretapped, an Alexa wouldn’t be the best option. Most people already have an internet connected microphone they carry around with them everywhere. And it has multiple cameras too, which are regularly brought into the bathroom with them.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come streaming or satelite don't have a playlist option? I got Dish and its annoying where I can't just tack on a bunch of movies or series and just let them play in an order I choose?English
8·7 days agoFor broadcast television, especially over the air, there’s no additional load on the provider side for broadcasting to 1 or 1 million people. The TV consumers never have to communicate back to the broadcaster, and this is very efficient from a bandwidth perspective. It’s somewhat similar for cable in most provider situations, the video is broadcast over a wire rather than over the air.
With streaming, each stream has to negotiate with a server to access the stream and the server serves the content to that consumer. This scales as there are more consumers, and the load on the provider increases. Caching layers and CDNs exist to distribute this load, and that is expensive. This is why streaming providers have a “Are you still watching” prompt if they think you’ve stopped watching, since it costs lots to serve the content.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Could you call ICE to pick up family members of ICE?English
13·10 days agoLots of people have a crazy MAGA parent / sibling / cousin, etc they vehemently disagree with and wish would realize their relative is aligned with the baddies. Judging and targeting innocent people for the actions of someone else is pretty disgusting, even if it would show ICE officers the damage they’re causing in America.

https://protocol, so the link is assumed to be relative to the current page you’re on. It should have been formatted as[Digg.com](https://digg.com/)and then it’ll look like: Digg.com

Technology@lemmy.world•Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small BusinessesEnglish
1·1 month agoYeah, Honey is just exacerbating the inherent flaws in the system, and most of it can be dealt with having a limit of coupon usage and expiration of the coupons.
The thing which really upset me is advertisers pulling money from podcasts which have referral codes because of abuse from Honey. I’m not a fan of advertisements, but the referal codes were a simple solution since there’s no way to accurately measure if an ad was listened to. Honey causing advertisers to pull support for podcasts just pushes podcasts to closed ecosystems with more tracking and analytics, and takes money away from Podcasters.

Not sure when the sale happened, but there was a recent video about the invention of the Blue LED from the past year which was really good, highly recommended. To me click bait implies the contents are not worth the headline / title / thumbnail, but old Veritasium and recent have kept up mostly the same level of quality IMO. I will say updating old video titles and thumbnails to juice the numbers was annoying, but the optimist in me figured that at least people who had not previously experienced old Veritasium got it recommended to them which is a positive.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What movie trailer was better than the actual movie?English
17·2 months agoFrom what I heard, they screen tested both versions of the movie, the directors version and the one edited by the trailer company, and both tested equally the same. Rather than defer to the director, they chose to take the scenes which tested the best in each version of the edit, and combine those together into the mess we saw.

Android@lemmy.world•How to remove unwanted entry from share sheet?English
1·2 months agoI think your best bet is to disable suggesting any contacts from the system settings. The setting is called “Show contacts when sharing content” and will affect all apps. It’s not ideal, but there’s no way I can tell to ignore/dismiss specific contacts from the share menu.

Android@lemmy.world•How to remove unwanted entry from share sheet?English
0·2 months agoI would go into the Outlook app and clear the storage and cache and see if that helps. If you don’t want any contacts to show in the list, you can disable “Show contacts when sharing content” if you search for this in settings.

How does the true size work on a 2D plane? Is it because we’re ignoring connecting landmasses that this gives a better approximation than a full globe 2D map?

They’re probably not even building to industry standards and not properly grounding their equipment, so if you were to visit the “datacenter” you’d be literally shocked.
