Protip for anyone unfamiliar: Mullvad really is the gold standard for a private VPN. If you just want to pirate shit and not get angry letters from your ISP, Nord or PIA will accomplish that. But if you REALLY want privacy, Mullvad is it.

The popular use for power delivery through a display cable is charging a laptop from your monitor; it’s already very common with Thunderbolt or USB-4 monitors. But 480W seems a bit overkill for that.

You get what you pay for. If you are actually concerned about your privacy, then go with Mullvad. If you just want to download stuff for free without getting caught, then Privado is probably fine.

1. If you’re connecting to random free Wi-Fi, you’re leaving yourself wide open to attacks.
2. A lot of security researchers play with penetration testing scenarios like this. It’s how you learn to defend against techniques that real attackers use.

I wonder what foreign government Musk wants to bribe.

Yeah, they probably just guessed his Google Drive password lol

To be clear, I think this new rule is great, but the time will be filled by other garbage ads.

Lol this sounds like toothless bullshit. Are they confident that these people live in the US? Do they even know if these two twitter accounts are run by single individuals?

Accusing somebody else of licking the boot, while you’re having the same boot ground in your face and just acting like it’s no big deal, not a problem.

I think there’s some confusion here. You’re talking about Multi-Account Containers, that person was talking about the Facebook Container. Both Firefox features with confusingly similar names, and honestly that’s on Firefox for naming them.

Facebook Container is similar to this TCP feature, but focused on Facebook. And of course it was a separate extension, so very opt-in. Now, Firefox has rolled it out for ALL sites by default, which is awesome and SHOULD HAVE BEEN HOW COOKIES WORKED IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Kinda misleading or poorly written title. He was not convicted of falling for a crypto scam. He was convicted of embezzling funds from the bank, which he did while pumping them into a dumb crypto scam. It would have been illegal even if the crypto thing was NOT a scam (which is rare, I know).

I’m guessing her cancer is one of the factors that drove her son to OD…just speculating, obviously. Her husband must be fucking destroyed, this is awful.

…but Apple started making performance ARM chips 4 years ago

I’m not expert, but I can tell you that Apple Silicon gave the new Macbooks insane battery life, and they run a lot cooler with less overheating. Intel really fucked up the processors in the 2015-2019 Macbooks, especially the higher-spec i7 and i9 variants. Those things overheat constantly. All Intel did was take existing architectures and raise the clock speeds. Apple really exposed Intel’s laziness by releasing processors that were just as performant in quick tasks, they REALLY kicked Intel’s ass in sustained workloads, not because they were faster on paper, but simply because they didn’t have to thermal throttle after 2 minutes of work. Hell, the Macbook Air doesn’t even have any active cooling!

I’m not saying these Snapdragon chips will do exactly the same thing for Windows PC’s, obviously we can’t say that for sure yet. But if they do, it will be fucking awesome for end users.

IT here: you’re all insane. Outlook is a dumpster fire, Outlook for Mac is a slightly prettier dumpster fire. The idea of locally syncing emails in 2024 is laughable, a web browser is exactly where you should view your emails.

Nintendo’s execs calling Boeing’s execs: “Hey, can you refer us to your…fixers? You know…rhymes with shmassassin…yeah you know, those guys.”

Reddit is still pretty useful, but it will become less and less relevant as contributors leave, just like StackOverflow did. Side note: are contributors actually leaving Reddit? People keep saying that’s happening, but I don’t really see it…maybe it’s very slow? Might depend heavily on the subreddit too.

Ooooh you’re right! Those fuckers

Wowwww that’s especially insulting considering that everything from Humble used to be DRM-free. I have HUNDREDS of games in my Humble library from the golden years. But most of their stuff doesn’t interest me nowadays.

Wow, Humble has really gone downhill after being acquired. Make sure you change the default split, they’ve made it harder to find! There’s an “Adjust Donation” button where you can choose to put more of your money to charity, rather than Humble and the book publisher.

By default, they’re only giving the EFF ninety cents of your $18 purchase. That’s insulting. And they still have the gall to put up a “leaderboard” for people that paid extra, but probably only 5% of their money went to charity if they didn’t think to change the split. What assholes.
