I’d gladly trade manual but bulletproof sync over paying a fee forever for essentially… storing files on drives. We got to this stage of having to sync because Apple can’t stand putting more storage on client devices.

You’re renting an entire infrastructure, I think a bit of KYC is reasonable. I had more trouble onboarding AWS SES, with a process that felt more like me begging. With which I said fuck it and went with self hosting ever since (on a bare me

Go to system32 and take ownership of wuaeng.dll and qmgr.dll and restrict access to only your user. Works on 10 and 11. Windows will chug along as if Windows Update never existed (forever).

Jobless are probably a vocal minority. Nothing paints a picture of recession in reality right now.

Node is the embodiment of move and break things. Probably will not build anything that should last more than a few months on node.

I’ve actually thought of doing this myself, but there isn’t really much value in enumerating active phone numbers. Lest you run a full scale scam operation cold calling people to phish for their banking info. My entire PII is already leaked

16gigs soldered seems like obsolete on arrival for a windows PC. I briefly owned a Slim 7 32gigs but sold it because it felt too heavy for a 14incher. Got an M1 instead.

They’re not scraping for php files, they’re probing for known vulns in popular frameworks, and then using them as entry points for pwning. This is done very efficiently. If you return anything unexpected, they’ll just drop you and move on.

Malicious app delivery goes beyond Google ads. In Singapore, most scam app installs are from social engineering, e.g. install new app to receive payment, install new app to buy something for cheap. I’m amazed at how gullible some people are
