I’m in the same boat: can’t hear any difference.
But, I have GBs of 320k MP3s… is it worth converting to Ogg ?
Also consider outside your home too - either permantly VPNing back through your home network, or (ie for Android) Tracker Control, which will block most ad / sdk / geo trackers that it knows about.
True, but they’re all as bad as each other. OpenAI was breached last year too…
I smell politics here over ethical hacking
Normally, when vulnerabilities are found, the responsible steps are to disclose to the site owner first before waiting for them to resolve it (ie 90 days).
I didn’t see that mentioned in Wiz’s article - which is showing their data & links to the vulnerabilities.
There’s 2 different things here:
You need both or you’re loosing freedom of speech.
If the government is “nice“, then you won’t feel threatened by this and you’ll believe that it’s better because we can now find the “bad guys”.
But what if the rules change and your thoughts / feelings / beliefs are now “bad”… how do you band together to make it better?
And, the internet is already flooded by bots, well, at least 50%, but I’m guessing no-one’s noticed.
So, another “cookie banner” coming then, but this one says: “facts not checked”
Ah, replaceable batteries…
Honestly, I kept my Nokia going until I got a Fairphone - purely to be able to replace the battery.
It was great when visiting places they just asked me to install some shitty app (ie to view a restaurant menu, etc.) I’d just show them the Nokia and they’d have to treat me ”properly”
Maybe get that patent sorted out quickly?
Me? I’m not the subject here… I’m just providing a real-life account of a counter point of view, which I guess you didn’t agree with.
Have you actually witnessed that entire event pan out?
The police that I personally know, visit the caller and talk to them first to understand the complaint and often (but I agree not always) educate the caller that teenagers are just doing what the caller(s) did at their age… usually, there are no more calls and all groups move on with their lives.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t make headlines and it’s not emotive enough to discuss.
In my personal experience, the older generations trust the media and just believe / expect the worst will happen. Most parents, younger adults, just don’t see the problem.
🤔 interesting idea…
(Calls patent office)
I updated a Phillips (I think?) TV - years ago, so this was over-the-air, not internet - and the built-in Program Schedule started showing adverts that were obviously in the update.
Eventually the ads stopped appearing, so at least there was some form of expiry date, but no, I’m very wary of consumer updates.
TVs should remain as display devices. I even keep the tuner equipment as a separate device to upgrade separately - sorry if that doesn’t increase their market share.
What next? A toaster with butter spreader built-in?
Documentation & comments… the most underated part of any system
Maybe it’s a regional thing… cal

I think 90% of the comments here are “write your own notes“ - which is possibly over simplistic.
Everyone’s different but IMHO:
The brain is better for imagination than long term storage. So if you’re stuck trying to remember some obscure command(s), it’s just better to use something else to store that on.
But when the brain understands the core concepts well enough, the details come together as habits (where repetition comes in).
So, if you’re unable to recall something, take some time to think / remind yourself about the underlying concepts and why that’s the command - next time it’ll be easier, eventually it’ll be effortless.
I had to learn some strange concepts for work during a deep technical troubleshooting session on a client’s system and the commands were like just facemashing the keyboard… I’ve no idea what those commands are now (written down), but I can recall what / why I was doing them and that was the key… for me.
(Using computers since '80s)
I’ve gotta agree here that passwords - (and encryption) - should be optional.
Xfce4-terminal has the quake style drop down mode?
(rushes off to try it)
Thanks, I was following this thread and wanted to say the same thing
I’ve kept updating shops that change, new houses, parking, etc… it’s great. I even used it on vacation (when the SO wasn’t looking)
My global rank is #1554 and ~#130ish in my local country, but #12 in another country I barely visit, so it shows where more people should
