Didn't some unattended kid choke on one and their parents sued?

Seems like it would be but in my (limited) experience watching NFL games the announcers just call them iPads anyway. Then they or their co commentator corrects themselves with the sponsor friendly Brand Name.

I just blacklist the device driver for my integrated mic & webcam in Windows with group policies. Good luck monitoring me with a mic that the OS doesn't even recognize. I ever want to record anything I have an actual mic and audio

I'd do a password manager and a VPN provider. Then spend a ton of money on ads on podcasts and youtube videos (which is odd since neither VPN hosting nor password managers make enough money to pay for that many ads). They'd probab

AdGuard allows 'approved ads', which for some of us is a dealbreaker.

Modern tractors are more technologically advanced than a Tesla. If you can run a modern planter or sprayer with autodrive/gps then copy/pasting a string of text into a terminal is not going to be a problem.

Firefox the browser is great. The developers are great. Pretty much everyone else at mozilla (the execs, marketing, and the graphic designers that feel the need to reinvent some minor part of the wheel every 3-5 years to justify their exist

Brave browser is literally an intelligence gathering honeypot funded by the guy who created a big data analytics company with an extensive history of working with intelligence services [1]. But yeah. That darn google being the default searc

They have to be decrypted to be played back. The analog hole cannot be closed.

Apple made over $4 billion selling ads last year.

Is this why my 2021 iMac sounds like a jet engine spinning up when I watch a youtube video in Firefox? I just assumed this was yet another attempt by google to sabotage the competition.

I eventually settled on CursorSense to fix this because nothing else I tried actually fixed it. Sucks to have to pay $10 to fix something that is a basic OS setting on literally every other modern desktop OS.

Assuming you can trust them. All 3 of the major baseball card grading companies are being investigated by the feds for widespread fraud right now. Same companies also grade Pokemon & Magic the Gathering cards and there have been some hi

I think it also requires a M1 processor.

Why anyone ever buys anything other than a ThinkPad (if you absolutely must go with Lenovo) I have no idea. Pretty much every other line of laptops they make is infamously bad, and has been for decades.

Someone hurts my dog, on my property, with no warrant? And they aren't even cops? They better bring more than 30 people with them is all I'm saying. And some EMT's because I live like an hour from the nearest emergency medi

But semi-anonymous posts on social media are? If so there's a lot more Navy SEALs than I was lead to believe.

I think you mean to say "Valve has been paying developers to fix the AMD drivers for years now, since AMD can't be bothered."

A great example of this is the album Death Magnetic by Metallica. The album version is compressed to hell but the version that shipped with Guitar Hero has none of that extra compression, presumably because someone who wasn't deaf mixe

I feel like if you have to teach them about load balancers as college interns, FB needs to find a better school to pull interns from.

Slack was described to me as IRC + tmux for people too stupid to figure out irc & tmux. In my (limited) experience this seems true to me.

This is how it was for many years. Decades even. It was fine. They weren't exactly "homemade" servers either. There was an entire industry of game server rentals and these were datacenter rack servers connected to fat pipe

Looking to do something similar and was worried about compatibility for the disk enclosure. Mind sharing which one you went with that works with freebsd?

Neat tool. Would be nice to be able to set tuning as I keep my guitars in Eb. Also I'll be "that guy": Can we get a tab mode - maybe with an option to display the note as well for us complete amateurs?

They have been trying for years. I still have several emails from before I retired offering $250 MS point gift cards or Xbox One consoles just for submitting an app for approval . Still couldn't be bothered.
