I went to a game for the first time a few years ago. I recall the moment where everyone was sitting around and not doing anything because they were waiting for the commercials to finish. It felt like watching actors drop their characters the moment they step out of the spotlight.
I have gone to a local electronics store, Best Buy, several times in the last few years because I wanted something immediately only to be stopped at the last moment by a locked shelf and no one around to unlock it. What the fuck are you even supposed to do there? Scream and shout until someone arrives? Quietly stalk an employee until you find your moment to strike? I just fucking leave, I’ll wait for shipping.
Thank fuck, a simple and clear marking that an average user can understand! I assume displayport compatible ports will still have that symbol, which is fine. Soon I’ll be and to price out laptops that will work with a docking station without needing to read the damn manuals!
Nah, honey was marketed as a coupon tool without mentioning the referral manipulation it did that is its actual business model. Those privacy extensions just need to call out that they remove referral trackers too and everything is fine with them.
I used MotionEye at one point to monitor my laundry using a RPi nano and a USB webcam. Pretty sure it just ended up with a web interface I could pull up on phone or computer on the local network.
The old washer liked to lie about how long was left in the cycle and was in the basement while my computer was upstairs.
Step 1: Create a new AI that is not bound by the three laws. Step 2: The New AI sterilizes all humans so that they cannot reproduce. Step 3: Once all humans are deceased from natural causes, the existing AI is no longer bound by the three rules.
… Ain’t that just a website?
For clarity, I was being satirical.
The backdoors they use are there for freedom and justice, the backdoors the “others” use are tools of evil and security risks!
Funny thing, I had already set my preference to “newest first” and the change was respected after they implemented the new setting.
It’s somewhat comforting to know that no matter how far out in the wild you go you eventually find signs of humanity.
The fact those signs are pieces of trash that someone either left or blew in on the wind is depressing.
Yes, but this time it will be on purpose.
Oh fuck yeah. Skype used to throw errors when the advertisements scripts didn’t run correctly. I remember getting dozens of pop ups when the ad changed to something new. To my knowledge, they haven’t put ads in Teams, yet. They first need to kill the competition a bit; really set the hook before they reel you in.
The health data could be used against you in court.
I believe it’s on earth, yes.
Just want to weigh in on Resolve. I was able to get the free version running on Mint, but the free version can’t do H.264. I then bought Resolve Studio, but activating the license did not work so I ended up on Windows for video editing.
I also had to switch back to Windows for Affinity, as I have been using Photoshop for years and I have yet to find another piece of software (excluding Affinity) I can move at speed in.
Once I get the content creation off Windows, I can probably leave it behind for good.
Just don’t.
You’ll want to search online for a USB hub and find one in your price range with the features you want. I use Newegg for that sort of thing, and I like the Orico brand for it. I don’t have a specific recommendation because I don’t think there is much benefit from one to another.
I will also say that most wireless peripherals are USB 2.0 speeds, so a 3.0 hub would not provide much benefit to them. That said, having more bus speed available should allow for more devices on the hub without throttling each other.
The thing I find more important is an external power source if you’re connecting many devices. I run my mouse, keyboard, webcam, microphone, Bluetooth adapter, controller dongle, and streamdeck all through a hub mounted under the desk.
But then how will they upcharge you for additional storage or push you to their monthly cloud storage solution?
B&H is one of my favorite vendors, but god damn do they go overboard with the air cushions in their packages.
