Sub-Thought: I wonder how many people punch in “1:00” instead of “60”?

Location tracking of phones is out of control. Here’s how to fight back. by Drunemeton in c/technology@lemmy.world

One thing I am always aware of are apps that want permission to access Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi and/or Networks.

Even though Bluetooth is very short ranged it can still be used to tie you into a location within a database based on other database records that are more detailed.

Yeah, I love playing you “My Great Dog-sitting Simulator” (not a real app) but you do not need access to my BT. The OS handles sending your audio to my headphones!

Okay. So how do we turn it off!? I’ve read nothing in my Samsung manuals about this “feature” and here no instructions for turning it off.

Before you share unasked for information with someone consider these two points:

  1. Is this a teachable moment?
  2. Does this person want to be taught?

If the answer is No to either one or both, keep to yourself.

In related news: Sometimes people want to vent, sometimes they want solutions. If you don’t know which one is needed it’s okay to ask!

Racist Donald Trump Says Kamala Harris 'Happened to Turn Black'. by Drunemeton in c/news@lemmy.world

Just finished watching that train wreck and it went exactly like I (we!?) thought it would!

It’s weird that Donald Trump can’t speak without being nasty. Donald Trump is weird in that mannerism.

Fall Guy. Now they can point at him as the entire problem, then say he’s not there anymore (implying that 2025 went away…).

Looking for recommendations on USB hubs (lemmy.world)

Good morning everybody! I have a cheap 4-port USB-A hub connected to my Mac Studio, and after many issues where my computer won't wake up and then won't find the external boot drive, I've figured out that it's the USB hub!

Since it's USB-A it need not be fancy, or powered, etc., I just need it to not crash my computer. What do you use? Do you have any issues? Would you "recommend it to a friend"?

Thank in advance!

Ukraine war: Zelensky says Israel-Gaza conflict taking focus away from fighting by Drunemeton in c/world@lemmy.world

I hate to say it, but within minutes of hearing about the attack by Hamas against Israel, the unexpectedness of it, and the scale of it, I asked myself, “Who’s funding this,” and, “Who gains by this?” And my brain replied, “Putin.”

Sure enough within days his puppets in our government (the USofA GOP) start talking about reducing/stopping aid to Ukraine.
