… Sending telemetry to Asus about the TV sending telemetry to LG? Wtf is this timeline?

Nice feature. Is it reliable? I can imagine this being dangerous if someone finds out how to manipulate it to flag a malicious site as official.

It is not as complicated as it looks! As a long time windows user I’m in the process of getting used to the command line and I love the simplicity and direct way of doing things. For some tasks and small programs it is amazing. Grep for example is something amazing that you couldn’t do in a windows type UI.

For other stuff like visualizing a directory tree you can always use a mouse interface. You’re rarely forced to use the terminal.

Handheld battery powered X-ray devices exist and are widely available. I used to work with those. In Germany you need a permit to operate them. https://www.thermofisher.com/order/catalog/product/de/en/XL2

Let’s not judge people only from the instance they’re registered on.

Seems fair, you pay 1000 for the logo and 600 for the hardware.

The compression was already explained - I would add that if you're not deep into scene groups, popular repackers are in general a safe choice, i.e. no malware included. Of course it's never 100% safe, but in my opinion safer than picking from a list of torrents what could be the scene release.

I never had issues with fitgirl and Dodi, maybe other users can drop some more names that have proven to be reliable over a long time.
