- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 4 hours ago:
Well they dont lol, they are super flimsy these days and most stuff is soldered on. Its good if this turns out to be the start of the return to good thinkpads, but i wouldnt get my hopes up yet.

Thats nonsense, there are plenty of phones and tablets with usbc video output. Its been a feature for like a decade. Other companies have had working desktop modes for a long time and google just abandoned their work on it until they decided they could use it as a marketing feature. They probably just didnt want the pixel to cut into the chromebook marketshare.
- Comment on Downdetector and Speedtest have been sold for over $1 billion 16 hours ago:
Speedtest probably gets billions of visitors a month, thats a lot of IPs and browser data you can harvest and sell.
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 21 hours ago:
Bouldering is the goat sport for this. Lots of little downtime in between routes which leaves room for talking. But you also always have something to talk about and compliment etc.

The 4 (iirc) also had USBC video out but google removed that functionality only to now have a reason to sell you a new phone. I hope its actually good and they publish source for it, otherwise this news is fucking useless.
- Comment on Make sure you know what your kid is getting themselves into 2 days ago:
It’s a consequence of weed being illegal. If you need fewer grams to get high (because it has higher THC content) you can sell less weed for the same money.
- Comment on In coal country this battery didn't stand a chance 4 days ago:
Yeah, Natrium-Ion ones are completely lithium free and are already being mass produced.
- Comment on Explosion rocks central Israel after Iran missile barrage 4 days ago:
And the Israelis will have the fucking audacity to be mad at Iran and not their own government that caused this.

When did you visit?
- Comment on Why you can't get a signal at festivals and sports matches 5 days ago:
Its more like a few thousand devices, not 30-40 but ye.
- Comment on my dad and my daddy are very similar but not the same 5 days ago:
I somehow read “Nonconsensual dominance” and was a bit worried.

We shouldnt tolerate such absurdity smh

Who needs a buttplug when you have butthole snakes.

You missed the joke.
- Comment on between medicine and this, we do not honour rats enough 2 weeks ago:
Probably something other than gps, because that doesnt work when under a bunch of rubble.
- Comment on Mewgenics becomes the most-played roguelite ever on Steam 2 weeks ago:
The previous was actually Hades 2 which surprised me too.
- Comment on Password managers are less secure than promised 2 weeks ago:
Yes of course you CAN make it safe in theory, but unless you run it locally or on your own server, you cant be certain that the javascript delivered to you from the hoster hasnt been modified. Its like having autoupdates on but you have zero control over when or how the updates take place, because every time you open the page it could be different code from the last time.
- Comment on Password managers are less secure than promised 2 weeks ago:
Just set it up so that the resulting .kdbx database file is always instantly synced between your devices whenever you make changes. Everything is in that file and all keepass versions can open it. I use syncthing for this because it doesnt require a server, but you can use nextcloud or whatever you have available.
- Comment on Thanks Alot 2 weeks ago:
Alots are underappreciated a lot.
- Comment on Cops Are Buying ‘GeoSpy’, an AI That Geolocates Photos in Seconds 2 weeks ago:
This is the kind of thing that machine learning is very very good at. Its never going to be perfect but its definitely gonna outperform humans.
- Comment on Password managers are less secure than promised 2 weeks ago:
KeepassXC is the goat :)
The database file is encrypted so its fine to sync it however you like. I use syncthing for it. Obviously set a very good password on it if you sync it through unsecure channels.

I believe those slop candidates are actually overall worse. They prevent the US from going into a charged enough state to enact actual change. They are the pacifier that keeps people inactive.
- Comment on Password managers are less secure than promised 2 weeks ago:
Bro i have my bank details, all my private 2FA, work 2FA, health insurance access, my families master passwords, steam access, and more in there. Its literally the most important piece of software that can exist in this day and age. No im not taking chances with that. The only thing you can do with my physical wallet if you rob me is buy something up to 20€ beyond which you need the cards pin. Everything else i can just deactivate by calling the relevant parties.

Lets be real, if the US population votes in a democrat that isnt at least as left as Bernie or Mamdani, the US will just incrementally move further and further right. Yes its better to get any democrat over a republican, but it wont save the US long term. Its rotten to the core and needs a healthy cleaning from the inside out.
- Comment on Apple AI message summaries, for when you want to give yourself a goddamn heart attack 2 weeks ago:
Easy solution. Stop using apple devices…
- Comment on Password managers are less secure than promised 2 weeks ago:
There is no way to patch this. Its an inherent flaw of delivering client software through a web browser. If the entire client is delivered as a web page from a server you dont control, then that server can modify the software however it pleases.
- Comment on Password managers are less secure than promised 2 weeks ago:
Yes, if you arent self hosting the web interface or using the desktop client.
- Comment on Password managers are less secure than promised 2 weeks ago:
OMFG can people please fucking go away with this stupid “password managers are worthless” bullshit today. They are exactly as secure as promised, unless you went to the obviously shady ones that use web interfaces. People have been saying this for years, if you want security, keep your password manager offline.
