Technology@lemmy.world•Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patchEnglish
2·4 days agoYeah I’ve been just refusing the prompts and using a standard 2FA code app instead.

9·4 days agoExcept that Windows routinely breaks my passkeys :) Use it to login once, works great. Try again the next day, “Something went wrong”. Now I can’t use that 2FA; it never starts working again. Then I have extra steps of trying the passkey, having it fail, logging in on another device, removing the passkey, …

Canada@lemmy.ca•PetroChina meeting obstacles as it seeks to buy northern Alberta pipeline stake
61·6 days agoI am glad they were met with Government barriers. I don’t want the pipeline to be owned by a Chinese company at all but I know nothing of the agreement made when building the pipeline.
Though given how the Rogers / Shaw merger went forward despite objections by relevant bodies I somewhat doubt the acquisition will be stopped.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with androidEnglish
11·6 days agoThey changed to a random person and gave all abilities to quietly upgrade everyone’s installs to the one maintained by the new random person. Then the new random person disabled things that allowed us to verify the app provided is the same one built from the Github repo. And now the new random person doesn’t communicate well.

Canada@lemmy.ca•B.C. premier proposes publicly funded refinery over pipeline. Is it realistic?
4·12 days agoI would support this over another pipeline. I’d rather be able to buy gas and other products made in Canada than export something to re-import the refined thing later.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Help Please? (Linux and Windows transfer) English
4·12 days agoI do not have a Steam Deck but I do use Linux.
Doesn’t it have a Micro SD card slot? That would probably be the least faffing way to copy files.
Aside from that it’s just a Linux computer so anything you like; I’m partial to SSH (rsync) for one off or Syncthing to sync folders around. You could also use a magic-wormhole web client, a Windows shared folder (no experience connecting to SMB shares from Linux), or croc (like Magic wormhole but resumable).
Also not a user of pirated game files, but what kind of format are they? If they are EXE files then they won’t work when you double click them like on Windows (at least not unless SteamOS went to the effort to configure that). You have to run them with Proton from Steam. I do not know how to do this with things outside Steam but you cauld try adding them to Steam as an external game, then the usual “select Proton” configuration might present itself.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Cramped conditions questioned on recent WestJet flight
8·14 days agoThank you.
I wish there was one article that had all this info instead of basically nothing like the CTV article -_-
I would probably pay for a news site that provided simple and verifiable information and links elsewhere like that rather than wordy writeups and crappy summaries or stolen videos.

Technology@lemmy.world•Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto?English
1·14 days agoI was worried enough about buying a used car in five years, thanks. Nov I have to worry about having the shit infotainment systems that were disappearing on top of having to pay a subscription to release my parking breaks??

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada has top 20 life expectancy compared to other countries according to UN
2·14 days agoFYI the picture doesn’t match the data given on the page; I went with the data by both sexes rather than the picture.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada has top 20 life expectancy compared to other countries according to UN
31·14 days agoNo, we are the 20th. Order by life expectancy both sexes, count down, next page, count down. We are 20th. The picture doesn’t agree with the data so I am using the data on the page rather than the picture.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada has top 20 life expectancy compared to other countries according to UN
31·14 days agoNope, counted down the column wrong. More like a couple dozen so I changed the title.
If you sort the search results by life expectancy both sexes, Canada is twentieth.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles.
16·15 days agoCould be that everyone identifies with the same things that the group you’re referring to experiences. But that group often has it much worse than most people. Or that the vocal minority of that group misrepresents the hole.
What you see as “basically normal” is after they are medicated. Isn’t that the point of the medication? Maybe go look at someone who stops taking it for an experiment.
