What happens to your data if 23andMe collapses? in c/technology@lemmy.world

When the ACA gets repealed insurance comoanies can use it to preemptively deny you coverage. Then there's the ethnic cleansing of course. There will be religious people who will use it for marriage licenses or breeding permits.

We're talking about meta and musk here. I wouldn't even talk to them. Just seize assets and block for espianage. Probably make arrests as well.

All they do is combine data from bunch of different data brokers, including a few that sell hacked data. They are likely breaking multiple laws. Someone could put the same thing together that targets law enforcement and politicians. I'm sure it already exists.

People with her facial features have heart issues (I can't remember what it's called) she was probably having a lot of stress from just watching the news.

Why don't they just tell them no?

Sometimes I wonder what mistranslations affect our understanding of ancient civilizations 🤔

A lot of them are really brainwashed about it. But at least they have real beleifs, plus if you say "thank you for your service" they'll vote for you.

How would you set up a loaner google tv box? (library as an example) (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm looking into setting up android tv boxes or sticks for a charitable organization to loan out to people or possibly for their locations.

I have an ONN box with f launcher, button remaper, smarttube, etc.

I'd like to set that up and then when it comes back the hardware reset button can just be held down and revert to what I set up without going back to the out of the box state.

I think I'm looking for custom recovery partition or something like that.

Which project would be best for a local community hub? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Mastadon? Lemmy? It would probably have to be standalone so people would't be turned off from the content from the rest of the fediverse unless there's a way to prevent federated content from showing on the instance. Just a place to post local news and discussions, maybe a place to sell secondhand. I live near a huge college with a major cs program, so I should be able to get users.

If you think a game should be higher or lower in ranking, then upvote or downvote it. If you don't see a game on the list that you think should be on the list then create a top level reply with the name and system.

The inside of a snowman could be warmer than the outside. (sh.itjust.works)
 

If you built a snowman during the day the snow only needs to be below freezing. It can get colder that night or the next day by quite a bit. The exterior of the snowman would be colder than the inside even though they're both frozen.

I Replaced the headlight bulbs on the car today. (sh.itjust.works)
 

We recently purchased a new (to us) family car and I've been addressing some of the neglected maintenance items. The low beam headlights were extremely dim, yet the high beams were very bright. Incandescent bulbs become dimmer over time. I purchased some which were recommended by the forum for my specific vehicle for only $15 on the rain forest site. They are quite a bit brighter now and I feel much safer driving at night.
