Why the fuck isn’t this sub shutting down? We should all unsub and boycott it if they don’t

[removed]

Why are you clowns removing posts about third party Reddit apps closing down?

Please shut down this sub until they change course. The only thing they will ever listen to will be our complete silence.

I heard Apollo is shutting down by the 10 nearly identical articles on the frontpage of /r/technology

No indefinite blackout? Shame. Unsubscribing.

What's could be the possible reason why submersible imploded?

So what's happening to this sub? Why they want to take you down.

I am wondering what is this broadband in subreddit politics about.

So what would be the great news of this lol. This serves nothing. I don't like this and I don't want technology sub. This is really a non sense one to be honest I hated it.

Are there any subreddits where opinion on the API issue is on spez's side? I would be interested to see what that looks like.

Even if the mods refuse to participate, you can still play your part by NOT opening Reddit

Go back dark you cowards. You don’t even get paid lmao

Why the shit can’t we have affordable and accessible augmented reality glasses? Why isn’t this a legitimate market yet? What is everyone doing wrong?

Any mods here? front page has 10 posts on the exact same topic... (apollo)

Get off the platform r/technology what are you doing here?

Why the fuck is this sub back?

Why does the Xbox and PS5 produce such good graphics at such a cheap price but we can’t produce equally good graphics for around the similar price on a pc?

Facebook warn the public to not take a screenshot from messenger.

Why is this sub public again? I thought you guys stood for something more than a performative protest.

I am outside the united states and want to use google voice for authenticating text messages for registration of sites.


Is this possible with google voice? I plan on using a free online sms services with a US number and a US VPN.


Could I use a number outside the US?
Also will google voice last longer then the free sms number?


Also will the google voice account be safe if I get the verification code from the free sms site ?


I don't feel like using my real number so that is why I am doing this . I am not sure if this is the correct subreddit but I can't ask at google voice because it violates the rules of the subreddit if I am not mistaken.

I'm trying to explain to our office manager why giving out our old gmail address is a bad idea. We pay for Google Workspace, and right now, what she has been doing is giving out the old gmail address and having that gmail forward EVERYTHING it receives to her new work email address, which has our domain name.


This is bad for security reasons of course, because if we lose access to that email, we can't easily recover it like we can a google workspace account. What are some other reasons? I need a wide variety in order to convince her.

Not allowed to post, but wanted to share this with this community. It's two AI ChatBots having a conversation live right now.

I currently own a Motorola G60S and I really like it (because of the good long lasting battery), but it's time for a new phone. The only thing I really disliked about the G was the really bad camera, because I go to alot of (motor)sporting events and couldn't take good pictures if I was not standing right before the object.

Any recommendations for a new phone ?

I am trying to figure out how to get the discontinued Peek Mobile email device up and running again. From my research on the Way Back Machine (and interrogating Chat GPT), it looks like the Peek Mobile never had access to WIFI, only running on a proprietary cellular network. The device and its support are discontinued, of course. Is it possible for me to modify or reconfigure the Peek Mobile so that I can use it to send and receive emails? I'm willing to learn to code and solder and whatever else I have to do to get it working because I'd like to pick up more technology-related skills along the way.

Thanks in advance for your input!

Anyone know if hp sells certified refurbished to consumers? Can't seem to see on their website

How can I get around location tracking on my computer?

I'll be in Europe for a couple of months traveling and will also be working remote during that time. I can work remotely, but my computer has a VPN that I typically sign into when not in the office. Also, the computer uses windows, so it tracks my location when I sign into certain windows services.


I thought I could sign onto ExpressVPN on my iPhone and use it as a hotspot to mask the location, but this isn't possible apparently.


Are there any other services or hacks I can do to get around this and appear in the US while abroad? I thought about Starlink for example.

Has anyone bought a Vivo IQOO smartphone? If you have one what are your opinions on it ?

So yesterday, our internet service provider said that their submarine cable partner confirmed a loss in bandwidth.

What I don't understand is why it is only affecting certain services. It was mostly google that was affected, but you could watch netflix with no problem.

If the cause is physical damage, does that mean there are cables that are specifically just for google stuff?

Hello!
I'm a filmmaker and need to both collect + share lots of video files with clients. I'm comparing options and would hugely appreciate any advice. What I'm looking for in my cloud storage (most important at top)

1. **I can share a view only link with clients to watch and download videos**
(including sharing an entire folder with subfolders if I need to) - they don't need to log in. Can use mobile or desktop
2. **As above but: Upload link with clients to give me files**
1. I'd really like the same folder to be able to have active links for viewing + uploading to (at the same time. Mega.nz for example will deactivate the upload link if I create a viewing link, which seems really dumb to me)
3. **General user interface is nice**
1. good for browsing photos and videos quickly, so videos play (with sound) and ideally (like Google Drive does; offers different playback quality options \[Youtube-like\] for snappy streaming)
2. Ideally some media file (and folder) info. I love how Mega.nz shows folder sizes, and video durations, codec, etc)
4. **Ideally a separate app for batch uploading**
(eg. Google drive, Dropbox, Mega, etc). Preferably with a vaguely accurate ETA (Mega.nz only gives ETA on individual files, which seems lazy to me)


I'm looking for about 2tb storage.
\---
Right now I pay for Google Drive + Mega. Love Drive for being part of Google docs but doesn't support upload links (without creating/ signing into a Google account). And user interface isn't my fav.
Love Mega for general sexy user interface (just looks and feels more pro, dark theme, better layout and more info..) but like Drive, fails on share links (Dropbox allows a folder to have active viewing + uploading links at same time) and also really annoyingly fails to play audio on video files.
Thanks again for any ideas!

Hey everyone, wasn’t sure where to post this but would anyone have any recommendations:

My dad is bed-ridden and unable to move or speak. We communicate by him moving his eyes and it’s not always easy.

We’re looking for a solution where we could put social media on the screen (such as Instagram, Facebook specifically) and auto-read or scroll down the page for him at a set speed. I’m not talking about Reels where it auto plays the videos one after another. I’m talking about something that reads the screen as if someone was there manually scrolling.
Does this technology exist?
Thanks!

What's the easiest and simpliest way to "face time" from my android to iphones or to other androids. why is this so hard?

I lost the usb that comes with my Bluetooth and mouse set. Can I replace it with another usb?

hi ok so im in canada and i just realized the back to school deal isnt live here. I bought an ipad air which comes on june 14-16 i was wondering when the deal would be live here. and if i should return it or wait for the deal to be active and talk to customer service to get the gift cards?

The last member of my family finally switched to iPhone. What cool features should we make sure to utilize as a group?

I just got a refurbished Apple Watch 6 as a gift. It has a few problems.
1) when I tried to pair it with my iPhone 13 it would constantly say pairing unsuccessful. Phone was updated, watch wasn’t connected to anything else.

2) it showed low battery even though when I put it on the charger it was still plenty in the green. Now it shows the red snake of death.

3) the charger that came with it won’t stick to the back of the watch. Tried it with an old watch it works fine. Tried the old charger and it won’t stick to it either. So it’s something with the watch. Looked everywhere for an answer on that but there’s nothing

I work from home & have a company laptop that I ONLY use for work stuff. I don’t use my personal email, look up websites (other than what I use in my job) or anything else. I never plug my phone into my work laptop either.

When logging into my work website (my company uses a few different ones for different functions) it auto filled with my personal email address. The one I don’t use anywhere but on my own personal devices. Where could it have gotten my personal email & how do I prevent it from happening again?!

My work laptop is company property & they can go in whenever they like (remote access). I cleared it from the browser but don’t want it to happen again. I was so careful!

Hi, I recently moved and there is no Wi-Fi. I bought a 200 GB mobile data subscription and I use the hotspot feature to connect my PC and Nintendo Switch. However, I've been experiencing a lot of instability with the connection. The ping fluctuates between 40 ms and 500 ms, which is problematic for online gaming. I'm looking for a solution to fix this issue. Would using a mobile hotspot (a Netgear Nighthawk for example) solve the problem, or would it not make any difference?

My iPhone 6 is giving up the ghost -- it's starting to not recognize my SIM card.

Is there a site to find the best deal on a new one? I'm not under contract. I have my eye on a 14 Pro, but not the Max.

Hello i'm transferring LOTS of files to make a backup from my phone. I wanted to ask if there is a way to select ALL files and wait instead of selecting 3 folders and wait for the transfer. Seems like the calculation for the estimated time is the one who makes problems. If i select too many files it will never stop calcolating the estimated time. Is there a way?

Hey all,

I'm starting to work from home and I have a laptop that was given to me to work off that I hook up to my personal monitors and peripherals. However, whenever I want to swap to my personal computer, I have to unplug everything and set it back up. I was wondering if there was anything I could get that would let me use my peripherals and monitors across both pcs or make the switching easier?

Thanks!

When I launch Steam app, the login screen is completely black. Theres no field for the logo, no username/password field, it's just a solid black rectangle. What the hell just happened? For the record, I am using a Macbook pro.

Did Reddit just delete the post about the CEO saying he wants to impair mods?

I feel like this is extremely important information everyone should know in regards to these protests.

The Apollo developer claimed $1, which made Reddit’s upcoming price of $12,000 for 50M requests look astronomical.

Well $1, so Reddit’s new pricing is only 3.6 times more expensive than Imgur..which makes sense because Reddit also hosts video.

I don’t know what else to say..maybe the Apollo dev was grandfathered into a cheaper plan..or maybe he was just straight up lying..but there’s the actual API pricing for Imgur. Reddit’s API pricing is absolutely not astronomically more expensive.

Someone messaged my friend on Instagram talking about getting 700 dollars of a 2500 check for his pay and there saying he needs to get a painting done of himself by this person and he already got 700 is this scam or some weird shit someone help pls

I came here for some tech advice, my computer is getting old and the battery is swelling, how should I convince my dad to get the battery replaced?

Hi all. I'm new to this forum but it seems if I want to create a new post, that I do so here....(?)

Anyway, I'm looking for people's thoughts on how much I might be able to fetch for an old PC...I'm guessing some local techies might be interested in it for parts?

It's an Acer Aspire model...must be at least 10-15 years old?...quite heavy vs more recent PC models...it still works just fine, albeit a bit slow to start up... apparently it has an 'Intel Core i3' inside, if that is meaningful...

I'm guessing that I'd price it for around $25...is that a realistic price? Or should I just donate it...no one will be interested, at ANY price?

Thanks!

What will happen when I change my current SIM card for a new one? This may be pretty common knowledge but this is my first time switching cards? Will only my number change? Will I lose my data like all my chats?

What’s wrong with Voice Memos?
Every time that I press the play button on this specific voice recording I made for my therapist, it doesn’t play. Other recordings still play but this doesn’t. I tried shutting down my phone, deleting & recovering the recording, and playing it after connecting to my home Wi-Fi. Nothing works. It also won’t let me tap the 3 dots to upload it to google drive. That recording contains so much important information I want my therapist to know. I’m using an iPhone 13.

Can anyone help me with this im desperate it says my account was compromised, I forgot my password, and when I try to reset it it just goes back to the page that says my accounts was compromised on Installer so I can’t change my password this is on Instagram

How should I go about getting a TV?

I want to get back into gaming, as I’ve missed out on new releases for the last 10 years. I’ll probably get a new console soon, but my current tv is relatively outdated. It is a Hisense 32H3E. I want to make the most of this new gaming experience, but it seems that many tvs are incredibly expensive. Is it possible to have a decent experience with a TV budget of $500? I’d prefer a tv that isn’t too large considering the space I have.

I’m not super into computers, so I need advice on what type of laptop to buy. I’m going to university next year, so I need recommendations on what type of laptop I should buy. I’m also trying to get into gaming again. So what’s a good laptop to buy that can be used for both gaming and school?

I'd like a wireless HDMI equivalent. My computer supports Miracast, but my TV doesn't, and I got the suggestion that I should try a Roku or Fire Stick. Both seem to collect a bunch of data for advertising, which I'm not a fan of, so are there alternates to those two that don't?

Power bank issue:
When I plug the charger in to my (10% battery left) power bank which powers a USB travel router, I notice that it disconnects the router for a while. Which is undesirable for me.
I have tested many routers and found this to be an issue. Why does this happen and what can I do to power the router continuously as I plug-in or plug-out the power bank?
Does anyone know a power bank that does not "turn off power" while plugging in/out?

Pneumatic or electric ice cream scoop. Why has no one created a pneumatic or electric ice cream scoop that works similar to a manual snowball former? It seems like an engineering problem that could be easily solved. A local ice cream shop is having difficulty hiring ice cream scoopers, so if they could speed up that aspect they could continue their current production levels. It seems most of these designs involve heating only, but no "cutting or forming" technology. This post is purely out of my curiosity not theirs.

I'm looking into the NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming WiFi 6 Router (XR1000) and it says it supports up to 25 devices. Will this be a problem for my household consisting of 34 active devices? Or is that just the recommended amount it can handle. (if not will it cause lag (im a gamer))?

Autocad licenses

Good morning everybody,

I would like to clarify a question regarding Autocad licenses. Recently I was in charge of managing the IT part of the company where I work and today I was analyzing the Autocad licenses (we have purchased 4) and I noticed that everyone is using the same account despite the fact that in the Autodesk management menu there are 4 users each one with your own login. Is it possible that we are all using the same license and that there are 3 "free"? Is it possible to use only 1 license for multiple users?

If you can help me, thanks!

Why they need to boycott this sub this is really informative subreddit in all of the subreddit, because this is about the new technology that we need to learned.

Random question. I have an eneloop charter model BQ-CC43. I can't find any information about this model online. Was simply looking for a replacement manual I could download when I discovered I can't find anything about it.

Anyone in the ENELOOP charger know can fill me in? Should i upgrade to a newer model charger?

Why do we still use passwords instead of face recognition or fingerprints?

Does anyone know of a laptop that has two physical buttons on the mousepad and has an Nvidia graphics card with 4GB - 8GB of VRAM?

My Android phone understands when I leave the house if I am walking, bicycling or driving. It also knows when I stop.

I want all mobile phone to have a notification feature that is triggered by movement type.

A parent could set notification to pop up two minutes after stopping from a trip in the car. Notification could ask the important question: Did you get your child out of the hot car and inside the house?
This would remind parents and save children from dying in a hot car!

Is there a way to make a monitor Bluetooth to connect a headset to it wirelessly (not with a PC). Say I have my monitor connected to PS5 which doesn't allow Bluetooth headsets. How would I connect headset to monitor sound to do this?

I found this old vinyl player that has this cord coming out of it. The vinyl player is from around 1980 to 1990. I do not know how to connect this to another cord or how to use it. What do I connect this to so I can use it? And is there a name for it?

The cord has five cords that is connected to a white thingy with five teeth of some sort. Wish i could show a picture…

Question on LLMs (Googled and asked chatGPT without success):

How does Meta benefit from developing Llama?


For chatGPT it is quite clear, monthly recurring revenue from subscriptions. And for Bard it is also clear, ad revenue. But what is Meta's objective?

What is the difference between virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR)?
