He installed a fake antenna? like a fake cellular radio tower? how is it possible that phones just randomly trust this antenna? they explain very little in the article.

(Ladies of Kbin/Lemmy/etc!) Does a woman generally have as strong of an urge to get an orgasm compared to a man's urge to get ejaculation? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Follow up question for ladies: how do you more usually / prefer to get off: 1) by just "standard" penetration or 2) finger/tongue/others stimulation?

Hi! so far it works great.

I only have this network error whenever I try to set "New" as default sorting in profile settings.

I tried to post a screenshot but the image upload also fails here ಠ_ಠ

Edit: I meant to say Settings> Account Settings. The error notification always says "Network error. Unable to save."

Here's what's new about the Fairphone 4 in c/fairphone@lemmy.ml

[–] AstroTechie@lemdro.id 7 points 8 months ago

Yes the improvement is legit. It used to lag a lot even with the double press shortcut on the power button it was too slow for a quick photo.

Mine only has one year and a few months, so it's still to be seen for how long I can keep using it.

I'm happy with just the security updates and bug fixes so this is a nice extra.

Foreign-born residents in Japan sue the government for alleged racial profiling in c/world@lemmy.world

[–] AstroTechie@lemdro.id 5 points 9 months ago

Out of curiosity I found these.

Apparently the crime rate in Japan was 300k+ first half of 2023 https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/07/20/national/crime-legal/japan-crime-rise

In 2022 it was 10k by foreigners the whole year, so let's say 5k/305k about 1.6% ish are foreigners? https://www.statista.com/statistics/1263319/japan-number-foreigners-arrested-crimes-law-violations

Do you believe in meritocracy? Why or why not? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

For practical purposes it failed. If every attempt to achieve it failed then it's just a failure.

If you follow the subjective "it was never really achieved for it to fail" logic then anyone can claim nothing ever fails.

Meritocracy and the American dream didn't fail, we just never achieved it for it to fail then?

NASA, Lockheed Martin Reveal X-59 Quiet Supersonic Aircraft in c/technology@lemmy.world

It's not supersonic during landing or taxing, which I guess is when a direct view would be more useful.

I'm trying fast-forward and imagine how we'll end up also hating lemmy in the future.
