No, as far as I know this has nothing to do with attestation/verification for enterprise users.

You can check this yourself. Just paste this into the developer console:

chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
  "nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome",
  { method: "cpu.getInfo" },
  (response) => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
  },
);

If you get a return like this, it means that the site has special access to these private, undocumented APIs

Cobalt is an awesome downloader, if the main instance (cobalt.tools) ever goes down or gets blocked by YouTube, there are countless other instances: https://instances.hyper.lol/instances/

It's really a great project, make sure to promote it, give it a star on GitHub, maybe donate a few bucks (crypto addresses can be found when clicking on the donate button in the app)

Seal is another great downloader for Android

Yet another reason to switch to Firefox, or even better, a hardened fork like LibreWolf [email protected]

my Mincraft Modrinth Mod launcher that has like 10 fps just in the menu

I'm pretty sure that there are ways to fix this, I don't know about your surround sound system, but I have seen countless guides for GSync. And for Modrinth, I would just switch to the FOSS Prism Launcher (it's even available on Windows, I use it on every platform when I want to play Minecraft), which allows you to download mods and modpacks from Modrinth, Curseforge and other sources. It's just a better user experience than with the official Launcher, Curseforge or the Modrinth app. I highly recommend it.


Then let’s also fix all the DRM issues with Netflix and Prime.

Piracy is one way to get around these [email protected]


Genuinely curious, but how do you deal with issues on Windows? Things like ads in the start menu, constant tracking, bloatware that is automatically reinstalled after an update, the Microsoft account requirement, etc.? Do these things just not bother you, or do you take the time to deal with these issues? When Windows 11 came out, I wanted to try it out, installed it on my secondary SSD, removed all the bloatware (including Microsoft edge), did one Windows update and everything came back. I was so pissed about this, that I immediately wiped the SSD, and I haven't touched Windows ever since.

Ok so the initial post was about China, then some commenter compared it to the US, but now talking about China is somehow "whataboutism". Lemmy.ml people really have their own kind of logic.

I absolutely agree, and I too hate this stupid idea of "good code documenting itself" and "comments being unnecessary".
I have a theory where this comes from. It was probably some manager, who has never written a single line of code, who thought that comments were a waste of time, and employees should instead focus on writing code. By telling them that "good code documents itself", they could also just put the blame on their employees.
"Either you don't need comments or your code sucks because it's not self-documenting"
Managers are dumb, and they will never realize that spending a bit of time on writing useful comments may later actually save countless hours, when the project is taken over by a different team, or the people who initially created it, don't work at the company anymore.

I don't know. Anyway, DankPods is awesome, there's a great Lemmy community dedicated to his channel: [email protected]

Just mentioned iPhones, because they tend to keep their value on the used market for a pretty long time. This is definitely not the case for most Android phones, including Pixels.
