The fact that none of us had to click to know what the article is about speaks for itself.

Made me check for my home state of Utah. But looks like they require a “substantial portion” or 1/3 of content on a site to be porn. source Looks like we all need to get busy posting tits to twitter for the good of the children.

Anyone noticed a pricing difference with “local” grocers? Obviously there aren’t many left and at least in my area they rely on a regional distributor that’s pretty consolidated. Just curious if they’ve been treating consumers any better.

Apparently I’m dyslexic enough that I read this twice thinking “what’s the joke?”

Got the text about the increase and it’s definitely nail in the coffin for me. I’ve confirmed that I don’t need much data even with forgetting to reconnect to wifi.

Strangely found myself tempted towards Helium Mobile since it’s 20 bucks for “unlimited” with 30GB of high speed. But of course it’s a crypto product… I’d been planning to wait til they release a feature to supposedly cryptographically protect against SIM swap attacks here. Assuming it checks out for security I’d consider it a decent extra benefit. Thoughts?

edit: forgot to mention they’re a tmobile mvno. so not exactly completely getting away from them.

I do not fear becoming homeless. The state should fear my homelessness as it will only signify the next phase of my radicalization.

Hey it’s that fucking spy.

Expanding on why humans don’t do this (as often) the fleshy part of our ears is functional. Depending on how sound bounces in your brain can determine some additional features that it couldn’t just from two ears. If I recall correctly variation in ear shape between people also creates difficulty in creating identical universal 360 sound. Can’t help but find it fascinating we’ve had ray traced games for a bit now but sound is mostly still just faked and not simulated.

As an american who shops and walks my groceries home like a european, the self checkout is the only option for me. I must have the ability to choose where to put products to keep my bags/backpack balanced to my liking and to prevent bags from failing on my walk home. Stranglely in the us, i risk approaching the “self checkout item limit” which is definitely more social expectation than actually enforced by staff.

A more specific question for you: how often do you encounter scales on self checkouts?

Wendy’s Vows No Burger ‘Surge Pricing’ After Online Fury (www.thedailybeast.com)

Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.

hashferret ,

On top of the surge pricing the bastards have been spamming me with emails. Damned if I can remember when I used my email with them, but their opt out mechanism has me pissed. Have to type in my email after hitting the link, then clearly remain on the list. Sure, FTC rules say you get 30 days or something before I need to stop receiving emails, but virtually every other marketer seems to take me off immediately.

Looked it up and you appear to be seriously wrong. Source or GTFO

Self hosted NAS + Lightweight Game Streaming Solution?

I have an aging gaming desktop with a GTX 970 that I’ve previously used to let friends/family stream games. My area has a lot of fiber so it’s surprisingly usable, even got VR working. Problem is, I’d prefer to use it as a NAS most the time as it has plenty of drive bays and I need somewhere better to run jellyfin than my...

Just wanted to add that sleep as android has a lot of options for dismissing your alarm including scanning an NFC tag or solving math problems of various complexities. Additionally it has extra controls you can enable so restarting your phone doesn’t bypass the alarm. A wide variety of Monday wake up torture is available.

Use work laptop as personal device by dual booting on a separate internal drive?

I currently have a Dell laptop that runs Windows for work. I use an external SSD via the Thunderbolt port to boot Linux allowing me to use the laptop as a personal device on a completely separate drive. All I have to do is F12 at boot, then select boot from USB drive....

Forget the technical details. I work in a corporate security department and if yours finds out what you’re doing there’s high odds they would absolutely hate it. I mean it likely isn’t an issue for org security (assuming they’re using bitlocker appropriately etc.) But not everyone over security is so rational and there are edge case attacks which may even trouble more sensible individuals. Either get permission, expect to do this in secret, or better yet just don’t.

hashferret ,

Really exciting to see someone working on this. Though my immediate reaction is - not skepticism. Concern maybe? Similar projects in the past have hit walls in scope creep, lack of funding, and ocassionally lack of direction or differentiation. A truly well rounded social VR platform is far more complex than meets the eye. Even neosvr/resonite has run into large slowdowns and difficulties in stealing public adoption away from the totally centralized and closed behemoth that is vrchat. More recently I was sad to see Thirdroom (based on matrix) abandon development. Still, all the best to the project and I will definitely follow it closely.

hashferret ,

Yeah. Though I’m more partial to the offshoot pr https://overte.org/ Unfortunately though I think it’s another example of how far these sorts of projects are from feature parity with more established closed platforms.

I will pay for premium when it means they will not sell my data and will allow me control over my algorithm to prevent it from playing to my vulerabilities. Since they won’t change, I won’t pay.

Many thanks. I’d been meaning to find an equivalent but hadn’t stumbled on this yet.

What killed it, well after reviewing some PS4 gameplay I noticed that it was having audio issues, like it would allow some sounds but not all. It was almost as if it was receiving a 5.1 audio output but was missing the centre channel. Even though the PS4 was set to stereo....

Bit of a tangent but: How dangerous is ripping and distributing web content these days? Like how prevalent is watermarking or other methods that could identify the account the recording originated from?
