And the tech school I got a degree from now hosts courses on “Reiki healing” and “Crystal healing”. America is fucking doomed.

Normal people (idiots) would rather spend 4 years of their overall life “hacking” with Windows to avoid 30 minutes learning to use a forward slash.

My Roku TV’s been reset to factory and not allowed on the internet for a few years now. It’s a TV. It displays shit that I give it over HDMI. If you desire more than that you’re part of the problem. I work in IT and that’s why my home has physical locks, a 30 year old thermostat, and cameras I own with recordings on a DVR I own.

I agree. That was why I originally bought the damned thing. Once I saw what it was doing on my network I decided “nope, that’s enough from you” and reset it. I’m not saying people who also bought it and continue to use it as intended are dumb, I’m suggesting the device itself and what it does is evil.

@Reygle@lemmy.world avatar

Sure! I didn’t know when I bought it that I’d come to this conclusion, but I learned over time. Been about 4 years or so since I bought it.

I’m sorry that you feel that way. I’ve got hobbies that may not interest you, but I feel un-hindered by being off the big platforms. Different generation maybe.

There’s a word for software that does actions without the user’s permission or knowledge.

That word is MALWARE

Do you trust Microsoft? If you do I might suggest we find you a nice quiet padded room.

Imagine someone attempted to (or even succeeded in) pushing malicious (or even just poor, “bad” code into the kernel. What do you suppose would happen? Oh wait we don’t have to imagine. Some people tried, and got admonished publicly.

NVME screw: phases outside of our dimension before even reaching the floor

Also I really want to know why this can’t be tapped for a standard case screw or even a chassis thumbscrew. Been pissing me off since msata and nvme even became a thing. Such great storage and it can’t be mounted with a standard @!#%^ing screw that everything else uses WHY?

Somebody somewhere should change this- sure leave the pathetic screw for laptops but in desktops there’s no reason for it.

The SMART thing to do is to buy a DUMB TV. Pay a little more and get a real TV- you know. A display, with speakers and HDMI inputs. Nothing else.

11 now basically ARP scans any network you join, adds things like HP printers found on the LAN to Device Manager, as"unknown device" in some situations, likely auto installing drivers in others.

Can’t think of a better example of malware.

Stay in school and don’t use Windows.

@Reygle@lemmy.world avatar

When they’re unwanted, on the network 500 ft away, you’d like your laptop to install those drivers?

I for one celebrate the inevitable crash/death of all this social media. It’s turned normal people into unacceptable drooling trash. That is if you’re able to ignore the data collection and use of it, in which case it turned the whole internet into a dumpster fire as well.

Reygle ,
@Reygle@lemmy.world avatar

It also gave those trash people the feeling of “look I’m not alone” and amplified all of it. At least before people were worried about being seen as a fuckwit.

Has HP printers always been this bad? (sh.itjust.works)

So my mother recently bought an ET-2800, By HP we had an HP printer before and we got a new one because the old one would not work with my sister’s Windows 11 Laptop. So I had to set it up for my mother, the manual said you can use it without the app. But there was no way to physically do that. Anyway, I downloaded the app on...

15 years ago HP was among the best in the business. They made workhorse products that did millions of pages (and those old models continue to)

Today HP is a malware and telemetry company who won’t let the average consumer use their printer without a logged-in HP account slurping telemetry about every aspect of their lives. Any consumer who buys a printer with the letter “e” in the model number is paying money to be spied on. Anyone who buys a non-“e” model is still doing so, but in a less VISUALLY obvious, and obnoxious way.

This is not random assumption. I’m a tech. Anyone who buys an HP Printer today and asks me to install them gets a fast education on why they shouldn’t cut the packing tape on that box.

Horseshit. Don’t piss on my head and tell me it’s raining.

Edit: this is more horseshit like the “room temperature superconductor” that was instantly debunked as a horseshit scheme recently.

When using Microsoft products and accepting their incomprehensible terms and conditions, you have no say and your opinion doesn’t matter.

Group policy doesn’t matter, domain administrator, GPO rules, all of it- none of it matters.

You’ll get dogshit and you will like it. (Friendly reminder that it was extremely overpriced also) That’s the tax you pay for being in their horrible, horrible “ecosystem” from hell. Enjoy! Grease up or take it dry, you’re “taking it” either way.

Maps is the only service they have that isn’t bested by something else.

They’re not making pennies on that data.

To pay vs letting them slurp up your data you’d be paying Alphabet thousands a year. It will never happen, but sure. It’s a nice fantasy.

More than half of their claimed user accounts are inactive. So many in fact that they’re starting to auto-delete inactive accounts. The only way they’d agree to such an idea is if it were far, far more expensive.
