Lol, I still check out slashdot too - although it’s usually a day late with news and the comments aren’t anything special. Force of habit I guess.

Wow, that takes me back. I used to prefer Anandtech to Ars Technica, Hot Hardware, Tom’s Hardware, etc.
But I haven’t visited any of them in like a decade, so I can see why they might be shutting down.

Looks cool. My RPi 1 is still rolling along running Pi Hole, but if I need to replace it, something like this running off PoE would be very tidy.

The 1% of China? I mean, I’m sure they have an elite, but the 1% thing is usually pointed out as a sore spot for capitalism.

A $3 Million Crypto Wallet… A $2 Million Crypto Wallet… A $5.5 Million Crypto Wallet…
(This joke probably doesn’t work anymore, but I still think it’s funny.)

I’m not using disk encryption. It’s a desktop and if it’s every stolen I’ve got bigger problems.
Also, I presume that disk encryption makes it so you can’t just pop the drive in an adapter and pull stuff off it, which I sometimes need to do with old, retired drives.

Rats. Leaving TPM off in the BIOS is how I’ve been avoiding it nagging me to upgrade from 10.

Interesting. As much as I’m a Foobar2000 fan, it’s not open source. Looks like I’ll be giving Winamp another spin soon.

So you’re suggesting that all scammers are skilled.

It’s a real dilemma.

Quick! Someone tell us why this isn’t a good thing because the government did it! Surely there’s some secret corruption at work!

It’s like a Sokal Hoax for STEM.

I’ve got a cable DVR and a Raspberry Pi running LibreElec plugged into it.
I’ve only experimented a little with gaming since I don’t own a console and my PC is in another room. I had the whatever the Steam software is installed on the Pi for awhile, so I could stream games from the PC.

‘splurging’ on a dumb tv

This might not be the best advice if money is an object, but some LG OLEDs can be rooted simply by visiting a website:

So you get a top-quality screen and complete control over the software.
Personally, I’ve never connected my LG OLED to the internet and it works just great.

Looks like a lot of info is shared through the manufacturer’s app which interacts with the car. Easy to avoid if you don’t install the app.
What we’re all here looking to avoid is the car itself uploading data. The article isn’t as clear about that, I guess since it depends so much on your exact model of vehicle.

Especially since modern desktop environments will have a gesture or something to give you a preview of all your open windows. What’s annoying is that they all seem to shuffle the spatial order of the window previews whenever they feel like it.

Right… I use multiple browser windows as tab groups. Tried tree tabs, but since I keep one window per topic I rarely get enough tabs open to need them.

Meta isn’t heavily influenced by a government adversarial to that of the US, so the risks to US security are not the same.
The mental health risk looks pretty similar, though.

Now if only someone over there would order their plain logo shirts in common sizes I’d give them $15.

I hear pigeons aren’t too hard to breed.
