- Comment on Can we put shitjustworks behind a captcha? 1 week ago:
As an alternative, is it possible to disable the guest mode (reading without being logged in) on a lemmy instance?
On the downside, it would make it less accessible for new users or users who simply don’t want to use an account. But maybe it would be worth it, if it would help to stop scrapers.
Or the middle ground, have a captcha only in front of of the guest mode.

- Comment on How VPNs really work: Protocols, safety and myth - Sentient Rant 5 weeks ago:
- It encrypts your internet traffic in transit
It encrypts it in part of the transit, the part between the VPN server and the target is the same as it would have been without a VPN
- It prevents your ISP or local network from seeing which destinations you connect to
True but now your VPN provider can see everything your ISP would have. Depending on the jurisdiction of your ISP and VPN, that could make it better or worse

- Comment on Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM 1 month ago:
Why would ending sata ssd production create price pressure for m2 ssds? If anything, they should be able to produce more of those.
- Comment on Norway’s mega wealth fund to reject Elon Musk’s $1 trillion Tesla pay package 2 months ago:
Tesla has sold 7 million and something cars in total according to google. If each of those was 100k, that would still be less than a trillion in total. How could one guy get paid more than the whole company ever made?
- Comment on Japanese Government Calls on Sora 2 Maker OpenAI to Refrain From Copyright Infringement, Says Characters From Manga and Anime Are 'Irreplaceable Treasures' That Japan Boasts to the World 3 months ago:
Fair point. But I can also see why people don’t want to call it by the name the current owner wants you to use.

- Comment on Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced 3 months ago:
Not justifying it, something that I paid for should not show ads. But there isn’t a current mainstream console that doesn’t have ads, so getting it once would still be better than getting it on every boot.

Sadly, this does not mean that the EEA “won”. It means they are already too dependent on MS.

- Comment on Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC 6 months ago:
What’s easier in Windows compared to Linux? Except the fact that you have to install it, since it doesn’t come preinstalled on as many PCs. But many people who think Windows is easy would probably still consider installing it difficult.

- Comment on What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses? 6 months ago:
Are you maybe thinking of MAC addresses? That would be closer being the “identity” of a device and you can typically identify the manufacturer from it. You can’t see the MAC address of a remote router via the internet though unless you are on its local network.
An IP address is usually a temporary lease provided by your ISP, and residential connections usually get a new one every once in a while (like every 24 hours).

The fallout forced CEO Martin Winterkorn to resign, although he denied wrongdoing. U.S. authorities issued an arrest warrant for Winterkorn in 2018, but Germany does not extradite its nationals. His trial in Germany was paused in 2021 due to health issues, but he remains a key figure under investigation.
