Shit in their own water too

Hexbear is counted twice, so you’re actually #4.
This image is a bit disheartening, ngl
- Comment on Dell kills the XPS brand 3 months ago:
The prestige behind the thinkpad brand specifically predates lenovo. They bought it from IBM in '05. AFAIK they’ve always been seen as reliable, well built laptops, albeit a bit pricier.
As far as spyware, with win11 being what it is your options are install Linux or live with it no matter which manufacturer you go with.
- Comment on LG and Samsung are adding Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant to their TVs 3 months ago:
I really wish it was easier to open up a TV, rip out all the compute and replace it with a custom display driver. Someone could unironically make a decent amount of money selling diy TV stupidification kits
- Comment on Will pilots-less airplanes happens first, or driver-less cars? Why? 3 months ago:
Both kinda already exist.
Easier to control for variables with airplanes. It seems like a simpler (still hells difficult, but simpler) problem to solve, so them first I’d guess
- Comment on JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨ 3 months ago:
Sure, as long as the VPN itself is secure. Strong passwords/keys, etc. A VPN itself can be a potential security risk, as if it’s compromised an attacker can tunnel traffic directly into a network straight past a firewall.
The risks can definitely be mitigated, but if someone’s asking for an ELI5 on KVMs, then it may be best to stay away until they have a better understanding of IT infrastructure altogether.
- Comment on JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨ 3 months ago:
ELI5:
It lets you remotely control a computer.
It’s different (arguably better) than remote connection software because it is a separate device that basically just forwards your keyboard & mouse inputs. This means that you can control the remote device even if it’s powered off or not able to boot properly, and you can configure the BIOS remotely too.
You could call someone on-site to connect the KVM to a server, but KVMs, while expensive by regular person standards, are pretty cheap as enterprise hardware goes. So some organizations just keep separate. KVMs plugged into all critical hardware all the time.
Worth noting here that KVMs are potentially a quite Hugh security risk.
Their website is probably light on details because “KVM” is fairly common industry parlance. If you normally work with this stuff then just hearing those 3 letters tells you most of what you need to know.

Most persona/smt games fit the bill

Finnish people are fucking crazy (non-derogatory)
- Comment on How Bluesky, Alternative to X and Facebook, Is Handling Growth 5 months ago:
Wish it was mastodon; this feels like kicking the can down the road rather than actually solving any problems. Whatever, it’s still better than twitter
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 5 months ago:
I’m not sure how much these endorsements actually matter… Lord knows Liz Cheney’s endorsing Kamala didn’t tip the scales.
Would establishment libs support a leftist? Maybe not. But that doesn’t mean that voters would necessarily follow suit.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 5 months ago:
Probably. People tend to vote for their team - regardless of the actual underlying policy
No promises, though.
- Comment on Geoff Keighley is apparently attempting to trademark "The Game Awards" with the US Patent Office 5 months ago:
He didn’t already have a trademark? I’m surprised.
Anyway, here comes a flood of ragebait about how Geoff of trying to own the concept of award shows
- Comment on Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky 5 months ago:
Yeah, mastodon simply doesn’t have an advertising budget, and having to pick an instance, while trivial, is still enough to stop a lot of people from joining.
- Comment on USA President term limits 5 months ago:
Short of congress changing the law or a successful coup, neither of which are necessarily off the table, yes these next four years will be Trump’s last in office. Who knows what either party will have to offer in 2028.
- Comment on Ghost of Tsushima - I've heard it's a nice game, but it overstays its welcome. Do you agree? 5 months ago:
It’s very good. Whether it outstays its welcome depends on the individual. If you just beeline the main story it’s not all that long, but if you play it as intended it’s quite a long ride.
I don’t regret playing it at all, fwiw
- Comment on Clever, clever 5 months ago:
Doesn’t help if students manually type the assignment requirements instead of just copying & pasting the entire document in there
- Comment on Will COVID death rates of Republicans have a significant impact on the outcome of the presidential election? 5 months ago:
Yikes. We’re all thinking about how covid disproportionately affects the elderly, but it also disproportionately affects people who live in denser population centers.
I don’t like talking about pandemics in terms of which political party they help, but I guess the dems may have been hit harder in the end…

Wow, looked it up just now; apparently the US is only #15, after a bunch of Pacific islands, and a couple others
- Comment on Weight loss jabs for unemployed not dystopian, says Wes Streeting 5 months ago:

- Comment on Ubisoft Director Claims "Non-Decent Humans" Are Wishing For Company's Demise 6 months ago:
I think we’re all just kinda passively expecting it at this point. I’m pretty dispassionate about the whole thing.
Games are art, you have to be willing to take a risk and try something genuinely new every once in a while. Ubisoft isn’t.
