TIL!
- Comment on US bans Kaspersky antivirus software due to 'national security risk' 4 months ago:
Nothing replaces common sense, but I’ve been using ESET for years now and have been really happy. Just the AV mind you, none of the other security suite bs.
- Comment on Biden expected to sign the TikTok ban on Wed. 6 months ago:
Well c’mon, if they write a legit privacy bill it’s going to hurt their Stateside vectors. This way, they can tout “yay security!” whole funneling more traffic to Instabookapp where they can still access it.
- Comment on Biden expected to sign the TikTok ban on Wed. 6 months ago:
I read a while back that Bobby Kotick was trying to drum up investors for it.
- Comment on Waymo issued a recall after two robotaxis crashed into the same pickup truck 8 months ago:
I think it’s slightly more nuanced - not all OTAs are recalls, and not all recalls are OTAs (for Tesla). Depending on the issue (for Teslas), the solution may be pushed via an OTA in which case they “issue a recall” with a software update. They’re actually going through this right now. For some other issues though, it’s a hardware problem that an OTA won’t fix so they issue a recall to repair the problem (ex: when the wiring harness for their cameras was fraying the cables).
This is 100% from the NHTSA shenanigans, though.
- Comment on Bluesky is now open for anyone to join | TechCrunch 9 months ago:
The literal elephant in the room is Mastodon, the open source, decentralized social network that’s been around since 2016, years before Bluesky existed. While the platforms share similar goals, they use different protocols, making it difficult for the platforms to work together.
Quick, someone link the xkcd
- Comment on A literal child taking orders in a fast food restaurant in the US 10 months ago:
I saw this on Reddit a while back. This isn’t an actual employee, it’s the kid of a manager who brought them to work for the day (school was closed or something). The dumbass manager thought it would be cute to dress her kid up and put them on the register, but patrons were rightly weirded out. Culver’s corp found out and were pissed - I’m not sure if the manager got fired or not, but this definitely wasn’t something Culver’s was cool with.
- Comment on Honda debuts new global EV series, Honda Zero, coming in 2026 10 months ago:
I wouldn’t worry about it too much, the concept cars always look sleek and then the manufacturers poop out something that looks way more standard. See: the Chevy Volt.

Not who you’re replying to but yes, Synology will let you automate backups to a cloud/service (and you definitely should!)

If I say “no,” does that mean yes?

Absolutely, is this even a real question?

Thank you for doing this so I didn’t have to
- Comment on Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own? 1 year ago:
QoS was my first thought as well. OP is ready to build a faraday cage to brute-force this common 3rd party router feature!
