- Comment on Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk 1 day ago:
At some point, all that juicy sweet medical data will be worth the 8 figure bribe to several congressmen to allow thebsale of access to the data for ‘research’ use to amazon and google.
All that data is private, until it isnt.
Dont be so innocent to think that hipaa data will never be sold, it will be eventually
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 2 days ago:
Its been like 3 decades… bit i thought ver 4 introduced the bindery which removed the per server user limit… i moved into networking about that time so im not sure. WindowsNT hadnt been released yet i remember.
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 3 days ago:
Well remember netware had a 250 user limit per server before 4.0. Thats not alot in corp space. I remember running many servers just to handle user auth and logon back with netware 3.12
- Comment on would a underwater pool be filled with air or more water 5 days ago:
Swim into an underwater room and slide a dior shut then wait for water to drain so i could breathe again… claustrophobic nightmare fuel right there.
- Comment on We shouldn't have to go to college in order to afford a house by 30. 1 week ago:
Im glad i bought my home 20 years ago… no way i could afford a 3-2 at todays going rate.
I blame all the house flipping shows. Made everyone think they could buy a house, paint it, then resell for 100k more.
- Comment on I hate it when people use pictures showing the condiments only on top of a hot dog. 1 week ago:
The Heinz relish aint so bad… i use it and its ok. I miss the Coney Island deli we used to have here 20 years ago… its become a laundry now.

I use mustard on the bun first, like glue for the weiner. (2nd grade level giggle) Then i pile on the onions, relish, or whatever on top

Try nextcloud. It can generate links to files like this.
- Comment on What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise? 3 weeks ago:
I always say, get a dog. Youll walk every day, you play in the park or backyard. Plus dogs are just awesome companions and help with positive attitudes.
Its a commitment, but i couldnt imagine not having a dog with me. Humans and dogs belong together.

What about elenvensies?
- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 5 weeks ago:
Not true if you are in a no fault state. In Florida, diesn matter who’s at fault…you go through your own insurance and bear the coat of increased premiums …even if its 100% other guts fault.
Had a car totalled. 2018 elantra. Ins gave me 8k, black book value… But a replacement could not be found for less than 17k for same model, blue book value+dealer profit shit.
Wtf.
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 1 month ago:
Bad phrasing. There are power walls for home use and FPL is still available.
My point is that Florida could use solar as 1 prong on the challenge to provide clean, green energy but FPL must deliver profit to it’s shareholders and will fight that effort
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 1 month ago:
Hell. In Florida, FPL is the electric provider, and they are fighting tooth and nail to keep people from installing solar on houses… In Florida, we would have almost free electric for everyone if all houses could install panels…
But FPL lobbied our GOP legislature and force anyone with solar to have a million dollar insurance policy payable to FPL in case something happens. Also got regulations passed to bar home windstorm insurance if any panels are bolted to the roof. So if you have panels, no hurricane insurance for you…and the mortgage holder gets to put their expensive policy on your home.
Fuck FPL
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 1 month ago:
Not just phone makers, but the telecom companies. Even if your phone shares no location data, it still checks in with a cell tower constantly. As you move around, so does your registration at a tower. It’s accurate to about 2 miles. Match that with your known home address or work address and your location is easily guessed
- Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains. 1 month ago:
Eh, most of the old school titles are just too ‘Soap Opera ish’ for me. It’s was supposed to be action and adventure and mystery with good art. Last 2 decades, it’s become people coming back from the dead, clones, ridiculous story lines that have nothing to do with the original character.
It’s ridiculous.
Indie books and limited series are my go to now. Even those start to run out of gas if they are kept around too long.
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 1 month ago:
Well, there technically may not be an eternity. Universe is 14 billion years old now…in 32 trillion years or so the last black holes and last particles will cease to exist. Time will no longer have any meaning, and the nothingness will be all there is.
What a shit hand we were dealt.
- Comment on Split Tunnel by Domain on Router Level? 1 month ago:
You could always just get the entire list of AWS public ranges and use that to identify interesting traffic… Of course that would vpn all AWS stuff.
If you have a list of domains, you could schedule a script to resolve each to IPs and rebuild your VPN definition every night.

Already dropped them.
- Comment on Microsoft announces it will automatically install the Copilot AI app alongside desktop versions of 365 products like Word, Excel and PowerPoint this October 2 months ago:
Why excel for super complex computations? At some point, just code your solution instead… It’s easier than troubleshooting Excel
- Comment on Spotify will now let free users pick and play tracks | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
I dropped my Spotify account after last price hike.
- Comment on Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigerator 2 months ago:
Hahaha. Who would pay so much for a smart fridge. In the words of Gilfoyle, all it needs to do is keep my fucking beer cold.
- Comment on How often do guys have a haircut? 2 months ago:
Haven’t had a haircut since COVID. Now I just keep it long, I’ll cut off a few inches every few months.
Companies I work for ignore it because I’ve become a valuable greybeard, so I get away with stuff like that

- Comment on Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? 2 months ago:

- Comment on Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann 2 months ago:
Will this kill FDroid ? I imagine yes since you have to install it from a download.
