Until the day the machine has been UEFI-flagged to require online connectivity regardless. Yes, that's a thing, and the flag's been lurking in the UEFI since Windows 10 1809, even. Intune/Windows Autopilot leverages it for ou

Yep! And we just struck graphite in the US, in the middle of bumfuck nowhere in New York. A little county (well, geographically large), 2800 square miles, 100,000 or so people, and we've struck the first graphite in the US... ...and w

You can’t tell me a Meta account isn’t just a Facebook account with extra steps. It’s still Facebook and will always be Facebook.

Apple has finally depreciated Firewire with macOS 26, sadly. Serial mice still also just work in Windows, too! If you attach a serial mouse to a USB-serial adapter, then attach the adapter, Windows should pick up and load sermouse.sys. On t

ZScaler gets pissed off going to frame.work just because of a “malicious TLD”. I don’t even want to know what ZScaler thinks of “tender love making”.

"Talking to ATC" is a bit of a huge ask. The system basically just hops on 121.5 (and maybe the nearest/local unicom/tower frequency) and start an automated callout with its intentions that it will be doing. It operate

Oh, this makes a bit of sense. The Avis/Budget fleet team will be part of managing the vehicles, so they can be quickly cleaned and fueled up when they slide into the airport, too. https://www.avisbudgetgroup.com/avis-b

Staring at a “you can no longer do business with PayPal” email myself. No clue what I did, no recourse, now locked out of a fuckton of global marketplaces and peer to peer transactions that uniquely only work on a platform like PayPal.

“only those who are highly qualified and serious shoppers” Ah, so basically, this is only good if you’re able to actually buy a car, and not having to worry about what bank the dealer’s going to shove you through, in which case you don’t

Maybe some day Apple will realize they need to fire the San Francisco consultant they turned Siri into - offended at any request and absolutely useless to provide you a meaningful answer.

Banning TikTok could have been a great first step, but too may people were cooked by the algorithm to stop it.

No, I refuse to read arrogant slop that someone had to shove through a machine because they can’t think or write for themselves anymore.

Couldn’t I just grab a Baicells eNB off eBay and point it at my own Open5GS installation and passively sniff IMSIs of users scanning around anyways that try to attach and reject? It feels like I could build some kind of “sniffer” fairly eas

If I trade in my phone, I want my trade-in offer now . Instead, the full value of whatever trade-in deal provided is split over 36 months as bill credits. While the new phone might actually be “free” in one of these promotions, it’s not, n

It's Skylo, which makes me really sad about this. This 'breaks' the InReach name completely if they're selling both global pole-to-pole Iridium and limited Skylo coverage devices under the same umbrella, and almost ang
