Really? I only download/stream via torrent occasionally, but I've not run into that in a very long time. Just this past weekend I wanted to watch the first episode of the new season of Loki. Fired up the Disney+ app on my Sony

Wisdom of any legislation aside, I'm curious how you can effectively "ban" a program or a website. It seems futile to ban the distribution of software, and while you can get ISPs to block access to an IP/range, there are

That's what I've found as well. Only bothered to update my 10yo computer during 2020 work from home because I wanted to play around with some new stuff, had a bit of disposable income since I wasn't going anywhere, and it ha

Amusingly enough, being able (or not being able) to gain root access to my own devices is one of the main reasons I can't address or verify their security - especially as official support is dropped over time. Modern phones and other

Yeah, we still have loads of "EDID minders" left over from the RGB/VGA days. Little in-line boxes with DIP switches to set a given resolution and refresh so display hardware always reported the same spec to any laptop/d

Not sure how cannabis vapes work, but for the "I enjoy and/or am addicted to nicotine, but would rather not inhale CO, tars, particulates, etc" type, if you are vaping any oils, you're doing something wrong. That sort of

Ah...my little step-brother had the Arthur one. "Hey hey, it's time to play!" every morning.... I was around high-school-senior age and remember thinking how cool it was to have toys with even some semblance of "smarts&

Side note: while watching that debate, I remember joking that "youforgotpoland.com" would be funny to buy as a gag domain. Maybe an hour later I looked it up and it had already been registered. That was definitely one of my ear

Same. I got mine for $149 (down from $199) thanks to some discount deal they were running at Staples of all places. Looked nice, did all the basics (notifications, nav for when I was riding my motorcycle, quick replies, could install or c

> The most trivial,useless, brain dead recommendation possible. This is what I notice as well. Before the end of Play Music, I'd uploaded around 30k tracks to my library. I stream music fairly often. So it knows enough about arti

So many of us (myself included) have become accustomed to being able to find or identify just about anything with the right software, tools, or community. But there are just so many recordings out there like you mentioned - demos, one-offs,

Ours were purchased before that second gen was available. They're perfectly capable of connecting to a remote service to download and display slides, but without security and other updates, they were no longer reliable for our uses.

Some immature part of me hopes that someone still has that old "cloud to butt" browser extension installed today.

We used AOpen Chromeboxes for a while, but they stopped getting updates after several years. That part is somewhat understandable, but given that they were full ChromeOS devices, it was less than ideal. Ended up replacing them with Bright

Very good point. I'm a straight man in my mid 40s. Had two long-term relationships over the past 20 years that eventually ended. Mostly had shorter ones and one longer one in my teens/20s. I've been seeing someone now for

Awareness is certainly an issue, but I've enabled adguard's DNS on my mobile device and it does indeed block almost all ads and doesn't cost me any money. Admittedly, I'd prefer not to depend on third party DNS as a solu

But if it's "extremely lightweight", where would you put the battery to power a high bandwidth transmitter/receiver? I can't imagine anything approaching the size of a pair of Wayfarers having space for the battery

Well, in theory it could have. And likewise, it sure seemed to lessen the impact of the entire unvaccinated population (aka, the entire population) getting really sick all at once. Even as it was, hospitals were screwed and millions died.

My house is old - 100 years or so. And I have uncovered so many hack jobs it's not even funny. Any time I open something up to fix or update what I think is a small thing I uncover new surprises that often turn those small jobs into

That's what happened to the Bing "AI" button they added to Swiftkey recently. Only using it on my Pixel so I only saw the Play Store reviews alongside a few articles online. But they were pummeled with 1* reviews and a week

Yep. It's a big reason I stuck with a Fit (can still cram in a decent amount of stuff) instead of a small pickup. Aside from the fact that there don't seem to be small pickups anymore, the closest ones I've found all seem to

From what I understand, ADHD is typically thought to be the result of an inefficient (outside of an accepted typical range) reward/reinforcement system in the brain - whether due to not producing enough of the relevant neurotransmitter

Is this why cheese (I believe via Roman Latin) is also 'cacio'? I'm only familiar due to 'cacio a pepe'.
