  • When you install TikTok, it fabricates its own independent SoC within your phone. Sometimes you can tell because the case bulges slightly, but it depends on the model.

    This isn’t strictly forbidden by Android and iOS APIs (yet), but there are limitations – this most notably affects the capacitors on the new SoC which degrade quickly and can make a faint clicking noise, hence the name “TikTok”.


  • I really wanted to like Baldur’s Gate 3. I didn’t play the prior games in the series, but I know a bunch of people who brim with excitement about it.

    I’ve not really been involved in DnD in any form. I played the original Warcraft RTS as a kid, I’ve read everything from Tolkien, and I love some of the Elder Scrolls games, but that’s about it. I’d always got the impression that a lot of it was a bit hammy and amateur on the writing side, but I assumed BG3 would buck the trend.

    …I just didn’t vibe with it at all. I found the combat exasperating, I didn’t mesh with the character motivations, and I failed to really get immersed. Maybe I really needed more backstory than a couple of lore lessons over beers.

    It’s obviously a great game, but it was such a miss for me, and I wish that weren’t the case.





  • Relevant bits, without corny jokes, from the original Ashcroft Fire Rescue post on Facebook:

    A quick investigation revealed the cause of this fire. It was determined to be a fish. The fish had an incredible journey, considering the river is 3km east from the point of origin. The fish had been dropped by a local osprey onto the hydro line causing embers to drop, along with the fish, to the dry grasses below. We do suspect by the size of the fish and the heat of the day probably caused the rather tired bird to drop its catch. It has been verified that our prime suspect sustained no injuries in the incident.




  • Insufficient data!

    Was the bench around a corner or jutting out? Was the boy part of a crowd that obscured the bench? Is the bench somehow camouflaged? Is it static and stationary?

    Is the boy fully sighted? Is it dark? Did someone distract him? Was he panicked by someone? Could he have deliberately run into it?

    There’s meant to be an internal rhyme there, as in “take one down and pass it around”. I suggest “tinker a bit, push a commit”.

    Also, “programming code”? I’d go with “legacy app” or “code monolith” or something.

    And let’s also change “92” and “99” to be make the refactor comprehensive.







  • There’s some discontent around Sync at the moment because of apparent infrequent developer updates that mean it hasn’t kept pace with changes to Lemmy. There’s nothing wrong with financially supporting developers - quite the opposite - and app development isn’t a cakewalk, but it’s worth doing a search to get users’ opinions before spending the money in this instance.
