- Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout 3 days ago:
Chromebooks aren’t replacing computer classes. They’re replacing textbooks and mimeographed handouts. Most of that stuff is web based now, and Chromebooks are cheap so they’re the perfect tool for the job.
- Comment on Tesla confirms it has given up on its Cybertruck range extender to achieve promised range 1 week ago:
Makes sense to me. The cheaper Camry with a 4 cylinder gets better mileage than the more expensive 6 cylinder.

Well the good news is you are free to do edibles any time you like. Lots of people like vape pens. Please don’t gatekeep cannabis.

Hypothetically, assuming you have the von range locked down reasonably well, they would have to breach the vpn and then also breach the other services once they’re on your network.

Oh nobody uses it lol. But it exists.

Yep that’s what I meant by the “depending on your perspective” bit

hide your RDP server behind some VPN
Anyone who isn’t doing this already is dumb. Same goes for exposing ssh publicly. I don’t care that you’re using a cert to log in, if there’s a 0 day in the openssh server you’re boned

Firefox, safari, chrome, edge. Depending on your perspective that’s either 3 or 4.

maybe browser technology should be funded by governments
Yeah let’s make it even easier for them to implement backdoora
- Comment on Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games 2 weeks ago:
Replacing spell crafting with blacksmithing makes sense for the setting. It would have been nice to have something a bit deeper to replace it though.
- Comment on How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief? 2 weeks ago:
The menu I remember was seeing first person perspective running through a level, while a bunch of menu choices fell from the top of the screen until you chose one.
Idk what game that was but it wasn’t doom
- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
The key to oblivion is to pick tag skills that you won’t use. If your build is a stealth archer, pick block blunt and restore. You only level when your tagged skills level, so your archery illusion and sneak will be 100 but your character will be sub level 10 so you’ll basically be a god
- Comment on The Oblivion remaster will be officially unveiled tomorrow 3 weeks ago:
They’d have to redo the models or it would look the same, yeah. But all of the weird mechanics and jankiness come from the creation engine and that’s still there doing everything except graphics.
- Comment on The Oblivion remaster will be officially unveiled tomorrow 3 weeks ago:
There’s lots of articles about it, here’s one gamingbible.com/…/elder-scrolls-oblivion-unreal-e…
- Comment on The Oblivion remaster will be officially unveiled tomorrow 3 weeks ago:
It’s not a remake. They bolted on a new graphics stack (unreal engine iirc), everything else is more or less the aame

Mine did too, all it took was a ticket to their helpdesk to get it unblocked
- Comment on finally got static IP from a new ISP 3 weeks ago:
As long as you don’t want to run a mail server. DHCP ranges are cancer to ip reputation.

Perhaps you should get checked for adhd
- Comment on France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools 4 weeks ago:
Yeah you’re right. Young children are renowned for their vast attention spans, or at least they used to be before cell phones were invented. Nobody ever passed notes, made paper airplanes, graffitied on their desks, or drew pictures in class prior to 2006.
- Comment on France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools 4 weeks ago:
Literally anything can distract kids and make them throw a tantrum when you take it away. Have you ever met a child?
- Comment on France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools 4 weeks ago:
School exists to teach you how to function in society. In our society, like it or not, everyone has a cell phone. Let’s focus on teaching them to integrate this tool into their lives in a productive way.
- Comment on France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools 4 weeks ago:
why do they need wheels?
Carts, busses. There’s wheels in lots of stuff.
Why are you leaving out guns?
Well, you see, unlike the wheel/paper/mini computers with built in calculators calendars document editors email and research tools, guns serve no legitimate purpose in a school.
