Hey, it actually worked and took less the a couple of min.

I have one, going to try and tape it off from the other components heat it up and see if that works.

Yes, The 5v regulator is the same and it is outputting 5.01v under load and 5.12v no load. Not sure why the first went bad but I’m guessing the POS 5v reg sent a spike on the 5v rail when it went bad and that damaged the TLV75733. The Teensy acts exactly the same connected to a USB unmounted from the board. It boots, runs for a min while the TLV heats up then the 3v3 drops and the Teensy crashes.

Microsoft’s Bing API services (the source of DuckDuckGo’s search data) went down at approx 3am ET and has not yet returned to service. Bing, DuckDuckGo, CoPilot, ChatGPT and more are unable to use the Bing services so in turn are also not working or not working fully.

No I have not tried that. That’s a good idea, is there a live boot image geared toward burn-in / fault testing?

I looked in the BIOS settings but did not see where I could disable the c-states unfortunately. I did try masking all the triggers in the OS with no change.

Do beeper services even exist anymore? I would think they all got displaced by cell phones long ago.

No beeper in this photo. Could be a piezoelectric disk hidden some where they are small and thin. what’s on the other side of the PCB? Also look stuck to the plastic, piezos are often stuck to the casing to use it as a sounding board.

Edit: not sure what the yellow thing, cap maybe, can you get a better picture of the text on it ?

Nice.

Nice try, scammer.

Waterworld II - The soggy biscuit, staring Kevin Coaster.

“ In June 2023, the Chrome Web Store will no longer allow Manifest V2 items to be published with visibility set to Public. All existing Manifest V2 items with visibility set to Public at that time will have their visibility changed to Unlisted. In January 2024, following the expiration of the Manifest V2 enterprise policy, the Chrome Web Store will remove all remaining Manifest V2 items from the store. “

Looks like existing ones might still work until January?

FireDragon (my understanding is that FireDragon is built from LibeWolf) and LireWolf is a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom. LibreWolf (and FireDragon I assume) is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements.

I don’t use either, I use just firefox so maybe a user of FireDragon could give you more.

Edit: Take a look at Jao’s post again, he updated it with more info on FireDragon.

Here’s the TLDR version:

• Most users (at least in my observation, in the instances and communities i’m on) on Lemmy are privacy minded, open source fans, linux enthusiasts , etc.

• Google is evil and will suck up any data they can find on you and sell it to anyone that will give them a buck. Lemmy users don’t like that. (me either)

• Google also makes a lot of money selling ads that are crafted for your likes based on the data they steal from you. Lemmy users also don’t like that (me either).

• Ad blockers will hamper some (not much) of google’s ad revenue so they don’t like them. many users use Ad Blockers ( I use an ad blocking DNS server)

• Recently Google announced that their Chrome browser would not allow ad-blockers. (Google sucks, don’t use Google stuff)

So that is why it’s showing up an Lemmy a lot right now.
