Technology@lemmy.world•Louis Rossmann is suing Samsung after firm offers $330 refund for defective SSD while selling the drives on Amazon for $949 — spat over 4TB 990 Pro SSD is headed to courtEnglish
22·6 days agoSamsung will, at its option, either: (1) repair or replace the Product with new or refurbished Product of equal or greater capacity and functionality; or (2) refund the then current market value of the Product at the time the warranty claim is made to Samsung if Samsung is unable to repair or replace the Product.

London@feddit.uk•More Tube tunnels switch on mobile coverage as rollout passes 60%English
3·6 days agoI very much prefer that to people doing all their social interactions on public transport so they don’t have to call these people while at home.

6·6 days agoGreat, so no more peaceful tube rides if people can do their FaceTime calls on the tube now.

Apple@lemmy.world•watchOS 27 Drops Support for Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 1, SE 2, and OlderEnglish
7·8 days agoFrom the website:
Apple’s initial compatibility list incorrectly said that the Apple Watch Series 9 would not support watchOS 27. We’ve updated this article following the company’s confirmation that the device will indeed get the latest software.

London@feddit.uk•London council confiscates more than 2,500 rental e-bikes in crackdown on bad parkingEnglish
3·13 days agoI suspect those apps can be tricked with old photos from when the bike was parked correctly, though.

Technology@lemmy.world•Women in Brussels 'filmed without their knowledge' by men wearing Meta smart glassesEnglish
2·13 days agoYeah, probably. But this doesn’t help much when the damage is already done, i.e. people have already commented bad things. And might even entice people (that might’ve downloaded it) to upload it again. Also, not sure whether this works as easy on e.g. TikTok.

2·13 days agoIt’s not about the actual space. It’s more about the muppets renting them and then “[dumping them] across pavements, blocking crossings, or creating a danger for residents and road users”. I see it all the time when walking my dog - bikes just carelessly left in the middle of the pavement. I always wonder how the companies can let that slide as I believe the riders need to provide a photo when ending the rental.

16·14 days agoFilming by itself isn’t illegal in Germany, but publishing the footage without consent of everyone in the video is. (“Recht am eigenen Bild”) Don’t know how this applies if the perpetrator is from the USA and publishes the recording there, though.
And even if - good luck in suing someone from the US while you’re still in Germany.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Strava just killed its free API, will require a subscription if you want to build on top of itEnglish
3·14 days agoFrom the linked article:
Two things that aren’t changing: every Strava athlete can still access and download their data for free, at any time – and wearable and device integrations are not affected.

Technology@lemmy.world•Women in Brussels 'filmed without their knowledge' by men wearing Meta smart glassesEnglish
29·14 days agoTell that to some states in the US where there’s a thing called “one-party consent”, i.e. if one party knows about the recording (which the wearer obviously would), it’s legal.

91·14 days agoThere was a similar news article in Germany a few days ago. It was about a “pick-up artist/dating coach/influencer” named Erick Ronaldo secretly filming some girl at the Oktoberfest and posting it to his channel where that girl was ridiculed in the comments. (Fun fact: when the news media approached that guy and asked for a statement, he demanded $7,500 for an interview - which they, of course, didn’t pay)
Manually backdating is one thing, but importing them from Instagram with the original timestamp is a different. That’s why #2871 is still open and #4558 was closed as “not planned”, I guess.
There’s already a feature request for that: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/2871
So far, I only know of GotoSocial that allows backdating new posts. And it even has a “gallery” theme that you can set as default to get something remotely similar to Pixelfed.
Also on BetaProfiles. (from @betaprofiles@mastodon.social)
For everyone else who’s deep into the Apple world: No iOS app and thus no sync to Apple Health.








I’ve reached Halo 4 from the Halo: Master Chief Collection and look to finish it in the next 2 days. Not sure I can recommend it, though. Especially earlier Halo games were pretty … well, not for me.
