TIL about the gameboy accessory that gasses kids to sleep for surgery (www.destructoid.com)

A new piece of medical equipment is being tested right now called the Pedisedate. Basically, it is a headset that is placed on a child before they are admitted to surgery. The device connects to a Game Boy or portable CD player (yup, not a Nintendo DS or iPod — apparently the Pedisedate also transports you to 1996) and a...

Oh cock off. My home network has seven windows machines and three Linux machines. I love iOS because I fuck around with computers all day, I’m not into fucking around with my phone. I want a secure device that lasts a long time, stays extremely fast, and requires no fucking. My five year old iPhone matches all of this perfectly.

Rai ,

There’s literally a thing you can click on called, get this…

FILES

It’s where all of the files on the device live, at least non-photo/video files.

Rai ,

That’s fair, but not relevant to what I was responding to hahaha

Also I don’t want anything by google, personally. I don’t use any google products or services.

Rai ,

That’s pretty ignorant also. All phones throttle your power when your battery is old, so instead of just dying at 30% (like old android phones used to), you get a slow drain to under 5% before it dies.

It’s not a “power design” or battery flaw, it’s literal fucking physics lawl

Rai ,

no u r a dum one akshully do ur reserch

Rai ,

WTF I legitimately watched that last night.

Rai ,

I wanna know the timeframe here. Ket doesn’t last very long.

Microsoft's Bitlocker & TPM encryption combo defeated with a $10 Raspberry Pi (www.pcgamer.com)

Rai ,

Prolly from people who don’t yet know about the Flipper Canada bullshit hahaha

Rai ,

I’ve never been to a club, but I did a nice ten years of raving. I’ll still go to one every so often, but I don’t drop X in public anymore. Those were some magical days, though!

Rai ,

We must return to EXTREME PAINTBRAWL! One of the funniest reviews I had read in PCGamer magazine.

Rai ,

I’m actually super down for this. The only thing I use iTunes for is to make encrypted incremental image backups of my phone and iPad. I’d love to just have a specific program for that, rather than all of the iTunes bloat.

As much as I dislike iTunes. Having a one-click encrypted incremental backups is fucking stellar.

Rai ,

Ah shoot. I didn’t realize they don’t have that. I guess I will hafta keep a windows computer/partition around when I switch over fully.

Or a VM is a good idea, I suppose—thank you!

Rai ,

My close friend told me

NEVER INSTALL BOTH ON YOUR MAIN DRIVE IT WILL FUCK YOUR BOOTLOADER

will windows on an external SSD work okay for games and stuff? I’m mega new to Linux.

Rai ,

Perfect, thank you. I’ll set up Pop! and Wandows on separate drives then.

Rai ,

Isn’t Lineage really good for privacy too?

I haven’t used Android since uhhh… I don’t even remember what I flashed my HTC Dream with, but it was awesome.

Rai ,

I’m using Firefox focus’ adblocking and a PiHole and I still have three giant ads banners that prevent me from reading on Archive hahaha

Rai ,

iOS: Wipr takes care of everything. Even stuff Firefox Focus and my PiHole doesn’t.

Rai ,

Or 99CND monthly for this shit

Rai ,

Firefox focus isn’t as good as ublock origin.

It’s better than nothing.

Wipr took care of all of those banner ads.

Rai ,

Yer name is not checkin out here tbh

Rai ,

You’ve misunderstood me. I enjoyed your reply and was saying your name doesn’t describe you.

Rai ,

As long as it passes the Harkness test, I’m down.

Rai ,

Make homemade chicken nuggets. You’ll learn quickly that pink slime is real, before it’s cooked.

Still delicious tho

Rai ,

“Won’t somebody PLEEEEASE think of the CHILDREN?!”

Rai ,

I got to 16 or so and I have no idea what I’m doing.

Rai ,

please take in your hand a pen and a piece of paper

please be in front of your computer right now

Rai ,

You will be behind the bars!

Rai ,

Only if it’s silver.

Rai ,

My 83 was ganked by some kid I knew so my folks bought me a silver. He denied it. I learned that day to write my name in secret spots.

Rai ,

He absolutely was a dick. I stopped being mates with him after that. My school was like “yeah the cameras didn’t work that day actually”

Rai ,

I believe that. Or they just didn’t want to be responsible for dealing with theft. Both ways make perfect sense to me.

Rai ,

Absolutely my dude! My school pretended the cams didn’t work when my calculator was stolen… they worked fantastically the next week.

Rai ,

Hahaha he was a lil dude and he came from a rough family. Plus I was like 115-120lbs at the time, I ain’t no fightgurl. I knew my folks would get me a better one (it wasn’t even a plus model…) so I was easy on him.

Still stopped talking to him.

Also at your last coupe sentence… oh dear me. That’s… not good.

OpenAI's GPT Trademark Request Has Been Denied (tsdr.uspto.gov)

First, applicant argues that the mark is not merely descriptive because consumers will not immediately understand what the underlying wording “generative pre-trained transformer” means. The trademark examining attorney is not convinced. The previously and presently attached Internet evidence demonstrates the extensive and...

Rai ,

Like trying to trademark “CellPhone”!

Rai ,

Does it sanitize user inputs? Or is a 90s style SQL injection possible?

Rai ,

Lovecraft’s cat at the top of the picture there.

Is anyone else worried about the apple vision pro?

i wouldn’t normally be concerned since any company releasing a VR product with this price tag is obviously going to fail… but it’s apple and somehow through exquisite branding and sleek design they have managed to create something that resonated with “tech reviewers” and rich folk who can afford it....

Rai ,

Maybe that user is still in secondary/high school and deals with that. I’m being charitable by this guess.

The last time I thought about what I might be perceived as when in public was when I was in school… I’m old now and free to go out in public with my partner in bad dragon hoodies.

Rai ,

Precisely. Like Apple’s headset isn’t going to have lockdown and Find My features. It’s worthless stealing an iPhone now because it can easily be locked down and rendered useless.

Rai ,

Never seen pancake lenses, huh?

Taylor Swift launches legal broadside at a college student who tracks private jets via public data (www.seattletimes.com)

In late December, Swift’s camp hit Jack Sweeney, a junior studying information technology at the University of Central Florida, with a cease-and-desist letter that blamed his automated tracking of her private jet for tipping off stalkers as to her location. In the letter, attorneys from the law firm Venable accused Sweeney of...

Rai ,

Hell yeah. I played duck hunt first, because my dumb ass didn’t understand a controller but cold BANG BANG at that fucking dog.

Then I discovered Mario.

Third was Dig Dug. I hate Dig Dug.

Rainbow Island was my shit.

Rai ,

Store near me had 30+ copies of Combat for 1USD each. I regret not buying them all, but I was an EXTREMELY broke teen.

Rai ,

Super Solvers was my shiiiiit!

What are your experiences with the Mandela Effect?

See title. For those who don’t know, the Mandela Effect is a phenomenon where a large group of people remember something differently than how it occurred. It’s named after Nelson Mandela because a significant number of people remembered him dying in prison in the 1980s, even though he actually passed away in 2013....

Rai ,

I fully believed that until a Reddit thread disproved it.

Rai ,

I argued with my partner so hard about this.

Then we looked it up.

I was soooo wrong. And I was the one who got Blue and Red when they came out.
