It was that very reason that I didn't take regular backups of my iPhone 7+ at the time, and then the bastard thing just died completely, losing very precious photos and videos. Never an iPhone again after that. I love being able to just plug a USB flashdrive into my Pixel to easily transfer photos over to a more reliable medium, although in more recent times I now have a server for this.

And to think the physical bits on that floppy still would've been invisible to the naked human eye.

So I have been getting bored of Minecraft but felt like having a twist on my own new single player survival world.

So last week I started out in Minecraft 1.5.2, which was the version I started playing on, and I intend to slowly upgrade the world, along the way collecting mobs, blocks, items and world generation not possible in later versions (dubbed Discontinued Items).

My latest endeavour was actually switching to the 2013 April Fools version, Minecraft 2.0, and obtaining things like enchanted signs, creating setups for floating blocks (ladders, torches, floating sand/gravel, etc.), things that will survive the upgrade to 1.6.

I've seen this advice generally for open ports and self hosting, let's say I do have a Minecraft server only open on 25565, what risks do I face if I just only opened that port?

I do have my own private Minecraft server in a dedicated Linux VM but it's currently behind a VPN, which makes it an extra step for new players to join.

Oh my gosh, that solution is incredibly smart. I've been wanting to keep my phone below 80% since I got it, but ultimately was trying to manually check it and gave up, and two years later my Pixel 4a battery is pretty poor.

I'm setting this up, thank you so much. I think I do even have a WiFi adapter somewhere I hadn't found a use for.

Yeah, I believe that was a change they made not long after shafting 3rd party apps. I had a couple older iOS devices with their own older versions of third party apps, and that change effectively made any post with a Reddit uploaded image unviewable. Incredibly infuriating and I can't understand the logic behind it either.

I will say that further to that, a few years ago Imgur made a change that does the same damn thing if it detects you're on mobile. Unless you tick "Show Desktop Site" in your browser, it's impossible to actually standalone view a direct image.

Just a note to say that PolyMC has previously proven itself a troubled project, with the project owner Lenny at one point completely removing all other contributor's access as he "purged the leftoids" (or something to that effect), and PrismLauncher is a fork made by those contributors

I made the same mistake and was initially like "50wpm? Amateur." Once I saw it was Android, I shut my mouth with my 20wpm on my phone.

I work at an MSP and while it wasn’t LastPass, when you search “Microsoft Authenticator” in the app store there’s a similar looking Authenticator app that’s also blue, and because it’s an ad it shows up first. Had a user install that and was confused why they weren’t able to get MFA working.

Huh, you learn something every day. Thanks for that

I only just woke up so forgive me if you're right, did you mean automation?

Hey, I just want to say you're a real one for actually coming back with the Reddit comment and even a source essentially debunking what you said. This is why I love Lemmy, thank you.

I did a quick bit of research on this, and I wasn't really able to find anything to corroborate this. I'd be interested to know if there is a proper source to this though

Edit: there can be some concern for those metal particles, although this is no different for any metal dust by the looks of things https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/do-old-hard-drives-contain-toxic-materials.1623183/#post-11646780

Its interesting as I remember people saying the same thing between Windows 10 and Windows 7/8, and that they'd never move to Win10.

Not trying to discredit what you're saying of course, but the pattern is still there 9 years later

I mean you could easily get a cheap cabled headset to use with it.

I still have a early 2000s (I think that's the era anyway) LaserJet 2200dn and it's done nothing of that sort, even on my spare actual Windows XP laptop. Insanity that their more consumer brand printers had those problems by '07

Looks like it. There's a direct link to Nathan Adam's GitHub within that article

I'm not sure what does and doesn't control it, but I've installed nano on some Linux distros and it has no syntax highlighting at all, then other distros (currently using LMDE) just have it by default.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the error messages are in Rust though on compile time. I agree that having an IDE flag them before I compile is much better though.

I thought so but as I'm not a huge vim user myself, I thought maybe vim had some error detection like VSCode that could be set up and that's what you meant.

In any case, VSCode will probably be the go for me
