I had a pseudo-plan for something like this but for reasons related to privacy I had two types of chatrooms:

* regular chats, existing only on the server, no leaking the chat transcript except via users, but never via server to server.

* chambers: a global chatroom, located at a server, maybe with a MQTT anyone could subscribe to.

This never left the early planning stages though, but I thought the segregation between federated chatrooms and regular chatrooms was of interest to keep in sync with IRC open but closed nature of chats.


That seems to be similar on this one. &room is local, while #room is federated.

Did not see that. Thanks for pointing that out! Will re-read the page.

short sci-fi horror story follows:

* Hello, we've called you to HR because we've detected you have been stressed at work.

- Sure, some... overwork status after you reduce headcount, but nothing it isn't being managed with the hierarchy chain.

* Glad to know. Be sure we, as a company, endeavour to have a stress-free workplace. You will be put in a Stress Workplace Reduction PIP, just as a formality of course; since you mentioned you have taken the appropriate steps to reduce stress you should pass the PIP, no need to stress about it! See you in a few weeks.

- Er... Thanks......?



"Oh and our toilet sensors have also measured your stool with some interesting conclusions ..."

It wouldn't be right to fire her after she finds out she is pregnant.

sounds cultural

Coming soon, to a culture near you.

And when is it going away?

Nowadays since corps lie frequently I treat FAQs as another lie.

If the capability is there, it will be used, specially since the whole decision process appears to have been rather opaque.


Oohohohohoohohohoho Merry Christmas!!!


Don't forget privacy policy.

Norton is owned by Avast owner which sold data for ads.


We've come a long way if people are being warned off Norton on account of its association with Avast.

(in my day we were warning people off Avast on account of its similarities to Norton)


The parent company is Gen Digital now, and its product line is: Norton / Avast / AVG / Avira / CCleaner

I have no idea why anyone would install and use their browser.


I moved out of the windows world a long time ago. Are virus scanners still a thing? Like, not just a revenue stream, but something you really should run?


I don't think anybody actually installs them on purpose. A lot of systems come with McAfee (Lenovo) or others pre-installed.

Interesting point, I've even has a Lenovo Legion and some ThinkBooks install McAfee autonomously after I installed Windows 11 Pro.

In enterprise environments it's a different story, McAfee and the like have similarly named products for the enterprise which actually do useful things for corporate security (like blocking unauthorized USB devices, blocking unauthorized software, reporting incidents to a central SOC system, etc.)


AVAST VIRUS DATABASE HAS BEEN UPDATED.

Blasting out my PC speakers at 2am...


No-one referenced Firefox also has Brave's adblocking implementation baked in, even if disabled for now.

Additionally, I eagerly await resource (CPU+site size) buckets to be implemented on a browser and a LocalCDN along it to shrink the web.


Bluetooth now works with Waydroid? Seamlessly or you have to "disconnect" from host and "connect" it to Waydroid?

AFAIK, Camera (V4L) is also broken on main repo, to anyone else wondering.


Rather ironic: I was in the process of moving all Android apps to a second user to be able to stop all apps (and just not DnD, because I'll know I may have some messages waiting for me after disabling DnD) when I got distracted by HN (just one tiny minute).

Another thing I'm testing is having VPN OFF with its kill-switch ON.


Agree. The only problem about radio is requiring wired headphones to serve as antenna.

Do flagship Snapdragon SOCs still have radio? Thinking about next GOS compatible Motorola-branded device, the first device GOS will support with Snapdragon.


My current Android phone has a FM radio that doesn't even require a wired headphone as the FM antenna is built-in. If you connect your BT headset, the FM station is heard through the BT headset in full stereo.

Of course, it is a Chinese brand who haven't forsaken FM radios. Apparently, Europeans still prefer a FM radio on their smartphones that Chinese brands that sell in Europe still retain them.

Here in USA, people don't seem to care about radio.


SoCs - not really.

FM radio support is a part of a Bluetooth chip, an audio codec chip, or even a standalone IC.

In modern high end SoCs, even the 5G modem is largely evicted from the SoC itself. Only the digital processing happens in the SoC - while ADC/DAC and anything analog lives in its own IC.
