- Comment on Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses 2 weeks ago:
He talks about how honey gets access to the codes by scraping every promo code submitted but the users. Doesn’t that mean that someone could automate something to submit false codes by the 100s whenever you are at checkout to fill PayPal with junk data? Making honey useless for everyone for that merchant because it can’t tell the real from the fake. An anti honey extension.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I guess the better question is which device is best and who’s the better company to allow to track you. If I create an apple TV account with a user name that is a RNG and all fake information, do they even gain anything?
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 3 weeks ago:
That was an excellent explanation. Thanks.

Whoa, they are racing for pink slips. That’s how you know it’s GTA real.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 3 weeks ago:
This is a fascinating article. As someone who has never owned an apple device in my life out of principle, this is actually making me consider one.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 3 weeks ago:
But then isn’t there a worry about Apple tracking everything?
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 3 weeks ago:
Why do they need incoming profit after the purchase? We’ve had single purchases for 70 years and they’ve done fine. Set the price above the price of materials. Boom profit. Transaction over.

What i don’t get is there is clearly a market here. Why doesn’t some lesser Known TV manufacturer make a dumb TV and steal all those customers from the big ones.

Couldn’t people send them on wild goose chases by flooding social media with “I saw an illegal over in x area” and then send them to the whitest county in America?
- Comment on As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity 2 months ago:
But 11 has spyware at unseen levels with AI. They want you on 11 for your data. That’s why they keep asking me to upgrade every week after I decline.
Linux isn’t an evil corporation. That’s not a fair comparison.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a conspiracy where Microsoft purposely left a massive hole in windows 10. And they are going to attack their own system in 2 months and be like “oh noez, welp guess you have to come to windows 11”.

Although Sky News has verified the methods used by Ms Kubecka and Ms Popovici, we won’t give details or name any software used.
Is it called… Photoshop?
- Comment on My Ultimate Self-hosting Setup 5 months ago:
What’s your hardware setup for all of this? I’ve got an 8 core 16 GB NUC but it starts struggling after I add a few services. BitWarden in particular so I just used their services instead.

Just maybe don’t plaster “THESE ARE MY SECRETS” on the cover. Security through obscurity.

- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 5 months ago:
Windows 11 has a massive keylogger built in. For decades we associated them with malware and now Windows is trying to normalize it as “good for the user.”
They say it’s off by default. But that’s like me having the detonation for a nuke sitting on my desk. Sure I could just not hit the button but I don’t want that shit in the same zip code as me.
