Yeah, but then both OP and The Verge wouldn’t have such a juicy headline for sick internet points and clicks.

It’s more accurate to say “~15,000 Roku users were hacked due to reused passwords”, and reusing passwords is one of the worst things you can do security-wise because if your password got leaked on one website (doesn’t even need to be the full password, just the hash would work), you are now entirely compromised everywhere you reuse that password.

Adam Something has an infallible equation that explains all of this kind of stuff: rich asshole + stupid idea with tons of nice CGI renders = dumb shit

Picking my nose, then eating the booger.

I am in my 30s.

I really wished we got more stuff like Andor, Rogue One, and Knights of The Old Republic II that explore more of the universe outside of “here’s a bunch of themed planets with wacky CGI aliens”.

Andor and Rogue One are really good at showing what it’s like to actually be a Rebel and live in a universe being dictated by an empire, while KOTOR 2 was a really cool look at the metanarrative of the Jedi, the Sith, and the Force as a whole.

So because this “uncommitted vote” bit is new to me: if I were to vote uncommitted for the Dems, does that still count as a vote against Trump/Republicans, or is it effectively the same as not voting? Because if it’s the former then I would very much like to vote uncommitted because while Biden sucks, Trump sucks worse.

Not sure if you do business with them, but Charles Schwab does have a app-based MFA option - although that’s limited to Symantec’s own TOTP MFA.

Not an engineer, but I feel this as an autistic person

tbf that’s probably on par with the performance Cyberpunk 2077 was doing on release

Of course he does.

One of Meta’s major value propositions for companies is its advertising tools. Marketers love marketing towards children because A) they can be impressionable, and B) they bank on kids annoying the shit out of their parents to spend money on whatever fuck random thing that’s being advertised. Marketing towards adults is harder because we got responsibilities and other things to consider before spending money willy-nilly on fun things, but kids don’t have that.

I’d get to laugh at every single wizard trying to board a train without it blowing up due to magic fucking up technology before I get screwed over by one of the soulless, greedy, vapid, mouth-breathing creatures known as gnomes.

But you’d be living in England and probably get stabbed by some chav’s unregistered butter knife

Let’s hope Elongated Muskrat (or any other techbro) never reads I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream in that case

Wow, I didn’t realize making more commits and changes means something is better.

I mean, if something is working and it’s working decently well… does it need a nightly change or frequent updates? It not being updated as often as it normally does is not a bad sign imo.

I’m honestly quite fine with not owning any Ubisoft games, so me and this exec are on the same page of being happy not owning Ubisoft games it seems like

For those with Roku TVs or any of their products, I found that a PiHole blocks the ads on the home screen so far. Hoping I could pick up an ONN box in the future so I can just not deal with this shit lol.

If you think porn and sexuality being normalized is a bad thing, you should reaaaaaaally think hard on your beliefs for a minute.

Sure, there’s the objectification of both men and women that pornography produces - that is a bad thing, but that’s not solely form porn either. Marketing ads love to objectify people (especially women) for an extra buck or two, and those are practically shoved in our faces openly every single day. Social media is basically just a gallery of this shit too if you’re just looking at whatever garbage the platform feeds you based on trends and what not.

Porn itself isn’t bad, and sexuality is arguably as important as both intellectual and emotional depth are because we’re humans and we have that primal part of our brains still. Yet in the US, for example, both of those things are worse than, say, a violent film. To me, that is the messed up part here.

I mean, you can argue that Google actually has a monopoly on web browsers right now. iirc Firefox takes a ton of money from Google, so if the choices are “Google’s proprietary browser” or “a non-Chromium browser backed by Google” (EDIT: unless you’re on Apple hardware and use Safari), then Google comes out on top either way.

Wish we could get another good browser engine that isn’t Chromium, WebKit, or Quantum.

It’s because they’re redditors, and most likely still use reddit - including ones that were all “iM gOnNa LeAvE rEdDiT” and deleted their account and posts.

I ended going back to reddit as well with a new account because I still have some niche communities that still go on there, and I don’t really dig using Discord servers for those communities. I also think the fediverse is slowly becoming a worse version of reddit by taking the worst habits of redditors and combining it with (as far as I know, at least) underdeveloped moderation tools.

CD-R since it’s better for compatibility and I actually had issues with RW in the past where I could only burn a CD once and not be able to rewrite on it. I was burning them as audio CDs for car use at the time.

Nowadays? Rip ‘em and slap them onto an external drive (maybe even onto the cloud if you wanna go that far), then toss out or donate the CD so you don’t have to lug that shit around. I’d rather buy the vinyl if it’s an album I really like.

Tbh I was kinda sad they killed her off instead of trying to make her an actually useful AI assistant. Seemed like a missed opportunity since her Halo counterpart is an AI as well, and it would’ve been cool to maybe have an AR partner app that would have shown pre-Halo 4 version of her.
