As a QA employee, asking us to test in production is a crime against humanity.

2·3 days agoI would use an Apple TV or a Chromecast in that case. Most TV providers that I know offer their own mediabox anyway, so no need for TV Tuners anymore.

That sounds like a great solution to my current frustration that the autobackup feature of Immich on iOS is so opaque. It only works when the app is open and even then oftentimes you’re just staring at the backup screen while seemingly nothing is happening, despite Immich’s backlog of thousands of photos still needing to be uploaded.

Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.”English
1·17 days agoWikipedia isn’t using the term to describe Hitler on that page though, it’s not saying “The Fuhrer was an Austrian-born German politician who was the dictator of Germany during the Nazi era”. That’s the difference.

2·17 days agocorrect, just like how the swastika was originally not a hate symbol. But nowadays, Germans would not refer to anyone as “Führer”, unless they’re (neo)nazis.

He did the nazi salute on stage, at least twice, he holds extreme right-wing and white supremacist views, he is a nazi.

Technology@lemmy.world•Gmail users warned to opt out of new feature - what we knowEnglish
5·21 days agoIt would’ve been nice if malwarebytes had actually fact checked those steps to turn off smart features for the app on mobile. Because as they are right now, it only works on the desktop version of gmail.com despite what they claim in the steps themselves.
Here’s how to turn it off on iOS:
- Open the gmail app
- Tap on the hamburger menu (top left) and scroll all the way down and tap on “Settings”
- Go to “Data privacy” option in the settings menu (they omitted this step on Malwarebytes)
- Turn off “Smart features”

ARGH this triggered a bit of PTSD for me…
“We’re going to convert these COBOL applications to C#, and you need to test that the new application works exactly the same, including the same bugs as the old application.”
“Ok, where’s the specifications and test reports of the old COBOL applications?”
“They were lost to time, we don’t know where they are.”
“Ok, so how are the developers going to write the C# code?”
“They’re going to read the COBOL scripts and recreate them into C#, we advise you do the same.”Cue me spending a month trying to decypher the COBOL gobbledigook into inputs and outputs, and write testcases based on that. And after that month was up, and I had delivered my testcases, they told me that my services were no longer needed.
I actually forgot about Roman numerals for a second.

Technology@lemmy.world•Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His HouseEnglish
10·2 months agoIt does have an app, but I’m not using it. It also doesn’t work, because it can’t find the vacuum on the network.
The device has 2 buttons: “turn on/off” and “find home”, those are the only two I need.
A vacuum doesn’t need internet access.


Now I won’t be posting! Hah!.. oh wait…
