It basically comes down to ignorance. Most people don't have the time, inclination, and/or capacity to evaluate political platforms or the competence of individual politicians. They just decide based on heuristics or "vibes&q

If there's a law against downloading or possessing it, and they're serious about enforcing it, they absolutely can stop you. Yes you could still do it, and maybe even avoid detection, but would you, if getting caught meant prison

One thing worth noting is that you don't need the ethernet ports to be on the router itself. You can always add a switch for more ports. 2.5G switches are pretty cheap now, and if connected to a 10G port on your router should provide p

Once in bridge mode it's no longer acting as a router, so it should mostly be fine. The firewall on your actual router will be present between the modem/internet and your machines.

Owning your own router also helps avoid lock-in. I just switched ISPs and it was relatively painless since I could just plug my router into the new box, maintaining all my config. (At least in theory; since all ISPs are terrible, they misco

The real problem with thinkpads is that the 14" is still stuck with that 55Wh battery in the service of shaving a fraction of a pound, while cheaper 14" laptops have 75+Wh batteries that last considerably longer.

You also need to account for the odds that the hard drive even contained the claimed BTC, and that it remains recoverable, even if found. If you could somehow guarantee that there is a hard drive with a recoverable $765M on it in that landf

Depends what causes things to stick to the flat Earth. IIRC flat earthers have various explanations for gravity, including the disc continuously accelerating upward; in that case you'd experience the same force everywhere on it.

Anyone else's brain find this... I guess stressful, rather than relaxing? Something about them connecting but never hanging on, and the bits never all coming together, I think.

If you do it that way, the garbage contaminates everything else, making recycling much more difficult or impossible. Especially for paper and cardboard, which is very recyclable.

This seems like a reasonable take to me. I wish those downvoting you would explain where they disagree.

Always curious when I see comments like these whether they're from literal Russian trolls. Or if not, then what exactly brought the person to a place where they will deny basic reality in order to show support for a brutal, expansionis

Yep, exactly. Very few of my friends are religious at all, but we all celebrate Christmas. Not as a religious holiday, but as a time that by tradition we spend time and share gifts and love with friends and family.

Sorry, I'm still not clear what the advantage is, compared to storing unique passwords in 1pw. If a site is hacked, the only thing at risk is my data on that specific site, which would be the case either way. I definitely understand ho

What is the advantage of passkeys compared to managing unique passwords with 1pw? Is there any tangible benefit to switching, besides that Google et al will stop hounding you to do so?

You just need to know the injury claims of those drivers vs the average to compare. But I agree, if I were to trust such a system, I'd want it to be a better driver than me, not than average. (And like everyone, I believe I'm sign

Why we would want it any other way than what? It's not clear to me whether you see the added European regulation as positive or negative.

It would be cool if someone could build a chimney ERV: extract heat from the dirty air produced by fire, and inject it into fresh air pulled into the living space. So I guess basically it would function like a regular ERV, but with a fire i

I'm not convinced those are the only options, at least if option 1 is purely economic. I could imagine a society that is more geared toward supporting children and parents, and encouraging parenthood, in other ways. ie. 'parenting
