You said it yourself. If there is no money in your account, google can't take payment. That isn't true of credit cards. And they're closely linked to a person's identity which is pretty useful to a company that makes hay

Twitter was already fined for using phone numbers provided for security purposes for ad/tracking purposes. And that was before Musk bought them. Facebook was too. Hell, probably everyone does it.

But those cars are so unsafe so we can't have them here. Now get on your motorcycle and lane split through traffic to work.

I remember buying computer parts to build my own PC around 2000, mostly shipped from California to the east coast. The parts took 2-3 weeks to get here, which I believe was similar to most ebay shipments at the time. I didn't even thin

What I've learned about tech tribalism arguments is that for some reason some one else doing something first means you can't be mad about it when it happens again. Its like if you cheated on your wife and told her she can't g

I mean it is an aggressive set of dark patterns deployed against people with limited time and understanding. It is constantly being adapted through auto updates to obsolete any ability to resist it they have formed. It isn't the fault

If you've ever played their Arx Fatalis game you'll see a lot of familiar things in Dark Messiah. I remember one of the reviews called the game something like "The adventures of sir-kicks-a-lot in the land of dangerous spikes

At least we have to do a bunch of work to add dark modes to individual programs instead of just changing a few settings and having it work globally. Always demo in hotdog stand theme for greatest visual impact.

I feel like I'm going crazy in these threads. UIs have really awful responsiveness these days and it is a source of constant annoyance to me. And then they hide all the elements like that, gating commonly used functions behind unpredic

I remember I'd save random mouse drivers I found on different machines at school looking for the one that used the least amount of ram. God, what a nightmare.

vessenes and rvz kind of sum the idea I think they're going for to me. AI has no moat, but many players are in denial about this still. Microsoft and other might have tight enough control they can use a product dumping strategy to get

I only use prepaid phones because it allows me control of billing and I can avoid hidden fees. I'd imagine the byzantine billing nightmare is a money making feature.

Can you use different PII, like fake names with virtual privacy.com cards? I haven't used this service so I don't know how it works.

Don't you just make a conservative decision in that case? My eyes and ears disagree all the time, but if one of them says danger that is the one I listen too.

This is also something to keep in mind when resale of SSDs is discussed and people recommend using the secure erase function of the SSD!

IIRC earlier versions of bitlocker would rely upon SSD firmware implementations for drive encryption. They stopped doing that when it was revealed many of these hardware encryption systems in common drives didn't actually work.

I always see this advice but...how do you even do that without having an entire additional set of disks to restore too? You can't restore to production obviously, as aside from the downtime if the test fails you've just destroyed

Maybe it is a punishment from the gods. A sort of technological tower of babel handicap to take us down a peg.

I still have a landline (wife seems attached to it? It is a waste of money IMO). I remember as I child being excited when the phone rang, what if it is my friend calling? Now it induces rage as the calls are 98% scam calls.

Doesn't the pi zero use much less? To me the zero is the more interesting of the pis. The Pi4 is more performant but I felt its power usage was to high for ultra low power and at that point I'd probably just use x86. But it seems

I've been thinking about trying to make a game/trail camera out of a Pi Zero which is a similar sort of problem. My idea it was only on part of the night I wouldn't need much power. But this thread is making me think things a
