Four spaces followed by a carriage return also gives a new line,
but without the spacing of a new paragraph (I included one after the comma as an example)

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Never buying milk from Walmart againEnglish
1·2 months agoIn the UK we have (in UK pints, 1 pint = 568ml): 1 pint, 2 pints, 4 pints and 6 pints. We also have slightly smaller metric sizes (1L, 2L) that are typically seen in convenience stores or on branded milk.
I would say that 4 pints (2.273L) is the typical size that most would buy for regular use, with smaller sizes popular for those that don’t have cereal/porridge. I find that milk from the supermarket tends to keep well, so it’s not that difficult to get through a 4 pinter, unless all you use it for is adding some in your tea - in which case you can just get a 1 or 2 pint jug.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Replacing a small business windows serverEnglish
51·2 months agoJust like Ubuntu and several other distros they have a server focused variant

Even if you check, you should download with curl and check the downloaded file, then run that, as a malicious server could present a normal download to browsers based on user agent and other fingerprinting data, while presenting a malicious script to curl
Wish people would stop suggesting the pipe to bash scripts as an install method but the simplicity of being able to tell all Linux and Mac users to just paste a string into their terminal to install and letting the script deal with any differences between systems is probably why we keep seeing it for major projects, rather than a long list of instructions for different distros

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•New "symbolic image compressor" posted in r/computerscience turns out to be AI hallucinated nonsenseEnglish
33·3 months agoAlso infuriating is when the OP gets told by a mod to stop posting AI slop comments and OP responds:
I’m explaining the project in as detailed and clear a manner as possible - using the LLM to do it. The same one that helped me build it. Shut it down then man, why warn me?

Hardware@lemmy.world•Amazon Fire TV devices expected to ditch Android for Linux in 2025English
4·3 months agoWould be nice if they supported any old flatpak, but I expect they will have their own packaging format that can only be installed from their own store and not side-loaded. They certainly will want to lock down and control what applications can do.

Hardware@lemmy.world•Amazon Fire TV devices expected to ditch Android for Linux in 2025English
11·3 months agoDepends how well they lock it down, Kindles are based on Linux and several of the recent models didn’t have any jailbreaks available until winterbreak came out. Not sure if Amazon have managed to patch against it but I took the opportunity to jailbreak mine as soon as I found out about winterbreak.
Also worth noting that on the android based fire TV sticks, you can install android apps easily, not sure Amazon will give you that freedom on the Linux versions

Technology@lemmy.world•THE NVIDIA AI GPU BLACK MARKET | Investigating Smuggling, Corruption, & GovernmentsEnglish
161·4 months agoGPUs that are banned from export to China can be easily acquired in low numbers in the country due to individuals bringing in banned GPUs which get sold just like unbanned GPUs after passing through several people. Also possible that some banned cards are repaired QC failures from the Chinese factories that produce these cards (the cards are produced in China, but are supposed to be exported and banned from export back into China). The export restrictions present more of a barrier for building out large AI clusters with many, many GPUs.
Nvidia almost certainly knows about this but turns a blind eye because they want to sell more cards and China is a large market.
There are some repair shops in China that can not only repair the GPUs, but can also transfer the GPU die onto an aftermarket PCB and give it double the amount of VRAM to create a card that Nvidia doesn’t even sell.
Individual banned GPUs are easier to get than the full systems that Nvidia also sells. AMD GPUs are much less popular, Intel GPUs are basically non-existent. The overall most popular card for smuggling into China seems to be the RTX 4090.
The person using it has previously claimed in a comment that they do it in an attempt to poison AI, up to you if you want to believe them, but that’s what they’ve previously stated. Personally I find it annoying to read and tend to skip their comments.
That’s T-shirt weather in the UK

2·5 months agoI’ve double-checked because I’m not familiar with Microsoft licensing terminology. The extended support end period listed is included without extra cost, it’s just limited to security updates only. This is separate from “Extended Security Updates” which is paid for security updates after the support period has ended.
When I took a screenshot on the Minimal and emailed it to myself (to view on my laptop), the screenshot was in color.
Just tested this, the colour correction only affects the displayed image on my device, not screenshots
Either I don’t have that option or it’s buried under a different name/menu path.
Not sure when the ability to add custom mode was added (I’m on android 16), but it’s part of the menu that contains bedtime mode, driving mode and DND (edit: custom modes were added in one of the android 15 updates). You could use one of those preset modes and set the display setting for it to grey scale, but I’ve noticed that colour correction actually has a quick settings toggle, so you could use that with colour correction set to grey scale as a sort of reading mode as well. Here’s what my modes menu looks like on my phone:

But you mentioned the colour correction is set to grey scale, isn’t that exactly what you want from reading mode? It’s also possible to set your display to grey scale in the settings for “modes” so you could create your own mode there called reading mode and change the display settings for that custom mode.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•[SOLVED] How come I've got my NVIDIA GPU to work for every game except Hogwarts Legacy? (More details in post body)English
2·6 months agoFair enough, but I think the
DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAMEcommand you’ve got now will only work for DXVK, if you launch a game that uses vulkan directly (rather than via translating DirectX calls through DXVK) you might possibly find the game running on the wrong GPU, just bare that in mind








And repaste it if you’re going this far
