> Whoosh! I believe the comment you replied to was a dad-joke level double entendre. That was a master level dad joke. I didn't realize either until reading your comment.

Beyond the fact that W95 was a terrible POS security-wise, I can't find any more detailed information with a brief Google search. I wish there was a site that did in-depth analysis of how a virus worked and presented that technical inf

That doesn't answer why it's okay to not give an option for advanced users. Even they want to use Ubuntu.

The concern is that there's no simple way to disable auto-updates. If you want Ubuntu to turn into Windows, why not just use Windows?

I like Notion and I can't stand it. The interface is entirely unsuited and too slow for what it's trying to do.

The rules are extremely simple and easy to grasp. And once you've grasped it, you'll never have to think twice about it. Parentheses take precedence. The first symbol is the operator (add, subtract, sum, multiply, etc.). Everythin

You've completely misunderstood his argument. It's widely accepted and known that fatality rates once you're put on a ventilator (due to Coronavirus) is ridiculously high compared to when you're put on a ventilator for o

Plausible deniability. They can turn around and say it's racism. It's their (and the Russian) MO. As long as there's no absolutely clear, unmistakable evidence, they can spin spin spin and too many people will buy their bulls

There are other solutions around authentication that would be perfectly fine and still privacy-conscious. It's just that anything other than forcing you to login using a Google account doesn't mesh with their strategy of ensnaring

After turning to Manjaro for my main distro, I feel like all the time I spent on trying to configure a base Arch install was totally wasted. The i3/awesome community editions are great - they are properly configured and setup with sane

The link doesn't work. That's just the page for the official releases. You have to go to Editions at the top of the page -> Community -> i3.

All of my headphones are wired. Sure, I have BT earbuds, but I'd never be able to use my headphones with any of these phones and the audio quality on them is far superior to any BT headphones I could buy at a similar price. And no, an

It's not just the Chinese. Doctors have been concerned about the abnormally high death rate for ventilators for months too. I've been seeing comments to the effect of looking for alternatives to ventilators because there were indi

Seems weird to me. They made these things when they were at war with Eurasia. Seems like it'd be a good idea to ensure only you could use them.

Oh, this is fascinating. Just a bit disappointing that the article doesn't mention at all why it's possible for random people in Brazil to access these satellites.

Oh yeah. I really liked Quora in the beginning. There were some good answers to the questions there. Then it got worse, and when it started prompting me to login, I bailed and I've never gone to Quora ever again.

How low is super low and what's the picture quality like? Could it be they're trying to save bandwidth?

This is such an odd opinion. The open source world is filled with different implementations of the same idea and while there is a lot of duplication, a lot of good also comes out of it. I'm not sure why somebody making another flashcar

Anki is a very big and complex project. From what I've heard and seen, it's a mess and the only person who groks it is the main developer. I get why most people are unwilling to contribute to Anki. I've thought about it mysel

I only recently got mine last week and I love it. The CPU is a bit underpowered but the GPU is so much better than what I have in my PC and I’ve been able to play a bunch of more recent games that I wasn’t able to before. Also much prefer t

You'd want to install Parsec on the server, then controllers work automatically (generally). It works pretty well (though I had to stop using Paperspace because I couldn't afford the cost).

On the flip side, none of the games I play are available on GFN. It's incredibly frustrating. I've moved on to Shadow where I'm not subject to the arbitrary whims of publishers and developers. I can install any game that I ow

Not sure what DFU means as I'm not familiar with Mac. With any other encryption, it doesn't matter what the state of my system is. As long as I have the key, I can always decrypt it. And it's not a vulnerability. Without the

Signal is open source. If you want to develop and host your own Signal, go right ahead. You’d just be opening yourself up to the same problem facing the Signal Foundation. As it is, the Signal Foundation would suddenly be open to lawsuits,
