- Comment on Google tipped off authorities to illicit images in Canadian doctor's account, search warrants say 12 hours ago:
They not only look at your files but will decrypt any encrypted zip files to see what you have.

Yeah. Everyone was moving to CD-R.
- Comment on The Chicken of Hormuz 2 days ago:
I still feel the biggest clowns are those that didn’t vote to “send a message” because “Kamala needed to earn my vote.”
- Comment on Why is Windows still bloated 2 days ago:
The OP said the Intel to Apple Silicon transition. That was after OS X. Nor was the earlier Mac OS a rewrite but adding a different GUI to Next step and calling it Mac OS X.
- Comment on Why is Windows still bloated 2 days ago:
The idea of a rewrite is a newbie mistake. It is almost always wrong. joelonsoftware.com/…/things-you-should-never-do-p…
MacOS wasn’t rewritten, it was ported. It’s now bigger than before.
Linux has grown from 170k lines of code back when I used it to handle dns for 10k customers to 40 million lines today. It has never been “completely rewritten” . Is Linux a failure?
Imo MS has a need to keep Windows convoluted so as to stay on step ahead of cloners like Wine.
- Comment on I'll handle my own data, thank you very much! 2 days ago:
The security is monitoring your public records. Could you link to any of their services that aren’t about public records like titles, credit cards, credit ratings? Because that’s all I saw on their website.
There’s another company named aura that appears to be completely unrelated that provides security services in Malaysia- like physical guards for your business.
I get the idea of mocking security companies that get hacked. But this is a bad example. All their data was already public.
It would be like being mad at Lemmy because your username jjlinux and all your posts got “hacked” and posted to the Internet.

Not with Radio Shack.

I was soo excited about ls120. Zip drive capacity in a 1.44 MB disc format with backwards compatibility. How could it not become the next big thing?
- Comment on I'll handle my own data, thank you very much! 3 days ago:
I self host everything except email but how do you keep your credit report private? How do you keep your email completely private given it’s use is to send to other people?
I didn’t know what Aura until writing this. They are a company that notifies you if credit card was stolen or other identity theft has happened. That’s already public. Your email is already public.
- Comment on Theoretically speaking, if one wanted to sail the seas while being not very tech savvy – is using a VPN (Mullvad) enough? I would never, of course… but theoretically? 1 week ago:
One of the things I did was to run mulvad in a virtual machine and use a different web browser in the vm than I used normally. This makes tracking much harder because they rely on website fingerprinting to identify you independently of your ip address.
- Comment on New ‘negative light’ technology hides data transfers in plain sight 1 week ago:
They invented a really neat diode. It creates electricity when it emits ir. But of course that isn’t enough to get research funding which is why they make ridiculous hype.
- Comment on Berk 👺 1 week ago:
Is the anime worth watching? If so, which? Was the 2017 a remake or following later manga?
- Comment on New ‘negative light’ technology hides data transfers in plain sight 1 week ago:
Sorta bullshit from the same lab that hyped their night time solar that works but is thermodynamically impossible to be practical.
Flash an ir diode with encrypted data and because encrypted data looks like noise, you can’t tell that the data isn’t just heat noise.
That’s it.
They invented a bunch of hype words to get press because unfortunately that’s how labs get money these days.
- Comment on Digg’s open beta shuts down after just two months, blaming AI bot spam 1 week ago:
SEO is one reason that’s less common.
No it isn’t. SEO is about faming the search engines to place their data ahead of everything whether relevant or not.
Yahoo was fantastic in it’s time because it was human curated. No SEO could bullshit a person reading the page and categorizing it.
Google was fantastic at the start because SEO couldn’t game the system. Google was famous in the early days for maintaining quality by keeping their algorithms secret and constantly changing so that SEO couldn’t break their search.
I’m speaking as someone who was first on the Internet in the 80’s.

What does AI-booted mean?
It means the developer let Claude write some slop and then went home early to play with their kids. He’s not a chump like Linus working all weekend to make things right.
- Comment on PC upgrade woes 1 week ago:
destroy working equipment
Grapes of Wrath. Burning oranges rather than sell them cheap.
- Comment on Streaming didnt exist in 1970 1 week ago:
Umatic came out in 1971. But it was too expensive for most consumers. My brother in law had one because his family business was TV repair.

The first link added the last bracket to the url. Thanks!
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
If you take issue with it being unified say so, but it’s still RAM.
He did say so. 8GB unified when a Linux laptop has 8GB of ram and an Nvidia 5050 with 8 GB of VRAM is 16GB of Ram despite not being marketed as a 16 GB laptop.
- Comment on Wanted: Printed Mug Handle 1 week ago:
You’d be surprised what you can find on eBay and etsy by searching for the same thing every few months.
I broke my wife’s favorite mug and found it on etsy despite it being something she got in Denmark.
- Comment on Wanted: Printed Mug Handle 1 week ago:
Jb weld works but would be ugly for a mug.

His helmet is pressurized but if it’s just a snorkel then 1 meter is the limit. I tried as a kid.

Mythbusters was awesome and broadcast to a wider audience than this guy.

One piece is a designed story in the same way Dragonball is a designed story.
- Comment on funny number 1 week ago:
66 has connotation too. That’s why I listed the numbers for which I didn’t know the connotation.
- Comment on funny number 1 week ago:
68? 70? 71?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
And unlike Meta, you will be thrown in prison like Jeremiah Perkins.
Even if found completely guilty, the worst that will happen is Meta has to pay a fine: which means nothing because any fine is rolled into the cost of doing business. Meta knows it is stupid to not break the law.
- Comment on What's causing this? 2 weeks ago:
That looks like multiboard snaps. They are specifically designed for 3 walls, .2 layer height and .4 nozzle.
I had problems that looked like that from z hop. The nozzle was dragging. Enabling zhop (or increasing it a tiny bit) can stop the print head from dragging and leaving filament wisps.
