Just another trillion dollars guys! Just another year and a half! I swear!

Unsubscribing to shit you don’t care about, using the search on the desktop client to be able to select 100s of emails and delete them at a time, and automatic filters are your friend.

And like someone else said, if it’s over like a month old and unread, chuck it in an “archive” folder and mark all as read. They’ll still be there if you absolutely need them, but won’t be cluttering stuff up.

Don’t try to manage it from the phone app, it’s a pain in the ass.

Caveat: I say all this with even more unread than your picture, and having not done any cleanup of my inboxes (besides setting filters on my work one) in years. I just remember what did work for me the last time I was on top of my inbox for a few years in college.

To be a bit more direct, you shouldn’t download “pre-cracked” isos. Just download the real install media and use mas-grave to spoof activation/licensing.

Nope. Ring cameras are part of Amazon Sidewalk which is effectively an automatic, invisible, and not end-user-controllable wireless mesh network “meant to keep devices working during wifi outages” or in other words to ensure the data makes it back to the cloud at any cost.

Their are more and more device manufacturers starting to use techniques like this to ensure connection regardless of owner intent.

I too, enjoy plugging a USB-C to A adapter into my Android phone so I can use an ethernet to USB adapter. :P

More seriously, two of the hard requirements of my house was fiber connection available from the ISP to the house and wired ethernet to the major rooms.

You can look this shit up you know. 3 yachts each retrofitted into marine research vessels and one under construction as another research vessel. Two “support vessels” whatever the fuck that means. The one under construction will house 75 scientists. His marine research company, inkfish, releases all findings publicly and for free.

But nobody knows this shit because he isn’t burning money on a fucking PR firm.

Two yachts for pleasure, which is entirely two yachts too many.

Look, he’s sitting upon an empire largely propped up by the fucking invention of lootboxes, the marketing of them to children and whales, and all the second and third hand markets and gambling sites that have sprung up around this shit. I’m not going to sit around and suck his dick.

But inkfish isn’t even the only “public good” organization he’s founded. And he’s also just directly donated money to existing things as well, such as considerable money into pediatric ICU in New Zealand.

On the scheme of ultra rich, he is one of the better ones.

Edit: Especially if we’re putting Gabe Newell up against Tim “banning Twitter because it allows AI generation of CSAM is gatekeeping” Sweeney

Re-read the title. considering halting plans to. They aren’t using them yet.

Huh? I’m having no issues with vsCode, and while I haven’t used Discord in ages I didn’t have problems with it either. Both are electron. Got any links about these issues handy?

That only mitigates. There are still a number of ways to potentially track a hardened phone, and countless ways to breach proper OPSEC on social media that have nothing to do with the platform.

Don’t rely entirely on system choices to keep you safe.

If you think that any nation-state with the money to implement this shit isn’t doing it already, I have a bridge to sell you.

Surveillance is a matter of power and maintaining it, far more than any ideological thing. There are already people being caught by this sort of shit in the UK and Europe as well.

While making this easier to access isn’t a positive, there are a ton of ways that this can, and already is, being done at companies that actually care about this shit.

Yeah you’re totally in the office, but your laptop just magically has an IP from the subnet for devices connected over VPN 🙄

Once again I must insist that people need to stop expecting any privacy on work devices. It is possible to find out anything on them, including location, it’s just a matter of how much effort your workplace is willing to expend on looking.

Edit: While I appreciate the article being short and to the point, a link to any documentation on this would have been nice. The claim is that it will display the SSID of the Wi-Fi AP you’re connected to. While being able to get that from your phone is a new bit of reach, it’s possible to gather that from work devices easily.

Just enulation? Ducktales 1 got a remake/remaster. Kind of sad not to include that.

Altman realizes most people outside of third world countries aren’t ready to just hand over their biometrics for cash, so he’s come up with a new way to get people to give them to him. Hooray.

I don’t get how anyone can trust a fucking word out of this guy’s mouth.

“Made a hobo CEO? You won’t believe what happens next!”

It’s been more than five years since I touched it, but it didn’t work too great for me.

My problem with it is that it requires you to set it all up. The tasks, frequency, chains, point values, etc. I was always second guessing my settings, and it’s very easy to make it too easy.

You have to want it to work, and not want to metagame the gamification of your todo list. That gets harder when you look at the social aspects of it and see all the people with high scores and such who absolutely are metagaming the system instead of just using it as a habit aid.

As evidence: How the fuck is a company as big as Microsoft letting their CEO keep making such embarassing public statements? How the fuck has he not been forced into more public speaking training by the board?

This is like the 4th “gaffe” of his since the start of the year!

You don’t usually need “social permission” to do something good. Mentioning that is at best, publicly stating that you think you know what’s best for society (and they don’t). I think the more direct interpretation is that you’re openly admitting you’re doing the type of thing that you should have asked permission for, but didn’t.

This is past the point of open desperation.

And yet another reminder of why industry standard for pretty much any software is to delay non-security patches for a set period of time.

It’s just extra bullshit that Microsoft’s QA department is so godawful. No excuse for a company their size to not have these patches thoroughly "dog food"ed before they even think about pushing them to the public.

Remember to always use plugs with a flared base

Not sure the exact age, but it’s xkcd 1288, they’re up to 3195 now, and they’re usually posted every Monday Wednesday and Friday.

Napkin math says roughly 12 and a quarter years ago. (3195 - 1288 for total comics since, / 3 for number of weeks since, / 52 for number of years since, gets you 12.22 ish)

There’s some slightly more recent ones that are still many years old:

1625:

And 1697:

Lord, Channing Tatum. The Big Bang Theory. Truly from a different time.

I don’t get why these lazy one-off text replacement extensions keep making “tech news”. You can do this shit easily with a short userscript, and there are plenty of extensions for practically every browser that let you set your own text replacement settings. No need for individual extensions for each.
