Or Swiss, it sounds very familiar. My French sucks. I did get DELF B2 level at the time, but damn do I struggle when I need to work in Lausanne with locals.

Especially in zombie survival movies. Except in Zombieland, there it’s just the sister I think.

Can confirm, Firefox with uBlock works. The OS doesn’t seem to matter. I use that combination on Linux (Fedora 43), Windows (10), macOS (15) and Android (16), no ads anywhere.

Unfortunately that won’t help. The Youtube ads are served from the same domains as the videos, so a DNS based blocker is inherently powerless.
- Comment on So far... 1 week ago:
Yeah, the magical growth thing is kind of a cop out anyway.
I feel like the author wanted to have his cake and eat it too. Save a child and have the cute protector child relationship, but then magic her into a suitable wife, and have a new child appear, so they can play family.
Spice and Wolf did it better.

It’s cringe that she wants to stay a slave especially. That kind of thing annoys me to no end.
She grows really quickly. I thought at least the love interest stuff starts after she stops being a loli.

Hmm I see Jaiden Animation but not Kairyu Crocodile, and I see Gawr Gura but not Sameko Saba.
On the other hand Nimi Nightmare already replaced Fauna Ceres.
Conclusion: The image must be from early last Summer 😄
- Comment on PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru 1 week ago:
That was a rhetorical question after I pointed out the inconsistency: The author claimed they keys were for verification and then also said they were used to decrypt.
That’s most likely bullshit, and if it isn’t they should explain the unusual setup in detail instead of glossing over it.
- Comment on PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru 1 week ago:
Yeah agreed especially further down when it’s just randomly rehashing old history. It’s also mixing up decryption and verification even in the beginning of the article. First they write:
BootROM (Level 0): The CPU runs code burned into it at the factory. This code is immutable (cannot be changed). It uses the ROM Keys to verify the signature of the next loader.
Then just two paragraphs below:
The ROM Keys change everything. With these keys, hackers can decrypt the Level 1 Bootloader.
So which is it? Usually boot chains hash the next stage and compare it with a signed “known-good” hash they have stored, no encryption. Maybe this is different for the PS5 but then that would be noteworthy, not something you just assume readers to know.

Since the graphic is counting sales in units sold I guess free to download “live services” wouldn’t really appear.
Would be interesting to see the same counting revenues.

Good analogy. It also brought to mind the bumpers you can enable for kids in bowling.

When I was a child I used to ask my dad to input the invulnerability cheat in Doom. I was way too bad at movement, aiming and basically just everything, that I could have had fun otherwise. Likewise for Anno 1602, there I needed the money cheat because otherwise I’d just go bankrupt. I didn’t understand the income balance yet but I still had fun building economy chains.
I’m not sure I have a point here. Just remembered cheating as a child because I needed it. Probably haven’t cheated in 18 years now.

Yeah they are fun!
Also pretty easy I’d say.

I wonder how long it will take until they start using DoH and conveniently make the TV fail if it’s blocked…

Don’t use SSDs for a server…
lol
- 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 4 weeks ago:
I ordered an S10 tab, paid my first rate, they finally try to order it
Who is “they” in this? Some sort of intermediary you using?
- 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 4 weeks ago:
I take issue with this forced distinction they are making
Micron, like Samsung and SK Hynix, already supplies memory chips directly to third-party brands such as G.Skill and ADATA. Even without Crucial-branded kits, Micron DRAM continues to reach consumers through other manufacturers, meaning overall supply remains largely unchanged.
Nobody ever officially suggested the Crucial supply was likely to shift to the other manufacturers for consumers. On the contrary people expect this to be a step towards a general redistribution of manufacturing capacity towards HBM for parallel compute products.
By comparison, Samsung exiting SATA SSDs removes an entire class of finished consumer products from one of the world’s largest NAND suppliers. Tom argues that this is why the Samsung move is “worse” for consumers: it directly affects how many drives are available, not just who sells them.
If you wanted you could make the same argument as for Micron. Who says the Samsung NAND couldn’t be bought by other OEMs to make consumer SSDs. It’s just as possible as the Micron supply shifting to other OEMs who make consumer RAM sticks.
To me neither are likely. The manufacturing capacity both companies are pulling from the consumer market in both cases is going to go to the higher profit margin parallel compute server market. Neither is worse than the other, they are both equally bad news for us consumers.
- Comment on Notepad++ updater installed malware 4 weeks ago:
I don’t get how this way exploited in practise.
Even if the signatures on the downloaded packages weren’t checked properly, how would you modify the content of the XML file returned from notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php?v… ? For that you’d have to break or MITM the TLS too, no?
The usual case for TLS MITM is when a company decides DPI is more important than E2E encryption and they terminate all TLS on the firewall, but if the firewall is compromised there would be much easier avenues of entry other than notepad++
- Comment on You wish you WERE never born, actually. Subjunctive mood. 5 weeks ago:
If you’re familiar with the pragmatic application of the subjunctive in your own language or others, that may help
When I tried using my dative and accusative case knowledge from German with the objective case “whom” it made me sound weird to the native English speakers I know (American, Australian, Northern English), who mostly stopped using “whom”. So in general I’d advise caution with this approach.

Yeah has a bit of those Ben Shapiro vibes.
Don’t you think people would sell their houses on the coastline and move?
- Comment on Porsche Cars in Russia Shut Down After Satellite System Failure 5 weeks ago:
I wish people (especially journalists) would get it through their skulls already:
- Vehicles don’t communicate with satellites.
- GNSS (like GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, or BeiDou) do not use two way communication.
- The satellite can therefore not know the position of a GNSS receiver.
- Instead the satellites send timestamps and their positions, the receiver uses that information to calculate its own position. If the system with the receiver needs to report its position to someone they typically use some form of terrestrial communication, like mobile phone networks.
With that knowledge the comment by /u/imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com makes a lot more sense than whatever the article is trying to imply about satellite failures.

- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 5 weeks ago:
Last weekend my PC didn’t start up, it was beeping an error code. I was so scared of it being a memory issue while diagnosing.
But luckily it was a video error code. And after swapping out the GPU and still getting the beep, even more luckily, it turned out to be the display being stuck in a bad state and just needing a reboot.
- Comment on Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike 1 month ago:
The bad config file is somewhere in the middle of the chain of causality.
They changed database permissions, revealing a dormant bug in a database query, leading to config files being generated badly with duplicate lines, making them too large for intake by the bot detection service, which didn’t have good input validation and made the process panic instead, tearing down the bot detection service.
- Comment on Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. 1 month ago:
It may act on the whole market, but it doesn’t have the same impact on every OEM.
It’s a bigger issue for Valve than the console competition, who have established supply chains potentially with fixed prices for certain terms or at least more significant volume discounts, and proprietary compatibility hurdles binding their customers, so they can sell hardware at a loss if they want to.
If Valve sells the computers at a loss they run the risk of people buying them for other uses, without generating corresponding Steam profits.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 2 months ago:
Some additional historical context, at the time where Timothy was going to minister, many pagan priestesses held gatherings where they would shout and show skin and attracted participants with sex and a show
That is hard to believe and sound more like a post hoc rationalisation. Did you get this context from a good source, or was it a partial one, like a christian minister?

But you could still just walk by the normal checkouts if you don’t have anything
Ah yeah, of course. I thought that was the same in the location of the article, but maybe I misunderstood and that’s the main issue.
After re-reading it I’m still confused by this paragraph:
During my Monday visit, I purchased a kombucha and went through the check-out line without incident. (No high-tech gates block the exit if you go through the line like normal.) But for journalism’s sake, I then headed back into the store to try going out the new gate.
