- Comment on if pure water is not conductive why would condensation be an issue for electronics? 22 hours ago:
The water contributes to rust which is bad for electronics long term
Second, electrolytes on the surface of the electronics, bits of metal, dust, or whatever can provide a pathway for electricity.
That’s my guess anyway.
- Comment on DOGE bro Kyle Schutt's computer infected by malware, credentials found in stealer logs 1 day ago:
The second part of the article states that the srealer logs he’s shown up in only come from computers infected with malware. And it’s possible, even more likely than not, that he used this personal computer for government work.

It’s also within the realm of things you wouldn’t be that surprised to see.

How can matrix be insecure when it keeps locking me out of my own messages?
- Comment on How India’s spiritual tech startups are monetizing faith for the algorithm age 5 days ago:
Not sure how this relates, but I just read the novel “Lord of Light” where the human founders of a colony planet install themselves as gods and install “pray-o-matic” machines for the populace so they can exchange currency for good karma, which will influence whether they get reborn as a human (because they also created this technology).
- Comment on Is Catholic dating culture often mistaken for incel-style pessimistic desperation? 5 days ago:
I don’t really know about it in general but I remember two Catholic friends I had who were dating, the girl joked/hinted to her bf about how they should hurry up and get married so they could have sex…

Maybe they like the technology and that’s why they’re downvoting the story.

I would want to get on a de-Googled grapheneos phone, but I know some apps will be painful to give up (e.g. Google Calendar) and I can’t predict how many apps will not be installable or not work correctly without Google Play services.
- Comment on 13 Creepy Things Your Smartphone Knows About You 1 week ago:
It really is a trade-off with convenience because auto connecting to Wi-Fi is wonderful, and Wi-Fi-corrected location data is much better for navigating in urban areas.
Is it wrong to want the convenience and the privacy, both?
- Comment on When society completely transitions to cash-less, what happens when the power goes down? End of the world? 1 week ago:
We have not completely done away with the barter system. It is just less visible.
I worked on a farm for a while that grew vegetables, and bartered some of those vegetables for other products from neighboring businesses. We got a pallet of apples in exchange for squashes from a local orchard, and seconds frozen pizzas in exchange for veg for pizza toppings from a local restaurant. We even bartered labor. There was someone who came in every week and spent a few hours cleaning and organizing the tomato cooler in exchange for some tomatoes that were on their way out.
In each case it was mutually beneficial for all parties to exchange in kind without using cash.
So while bartering is not common, it still exists.

I mean there might be reason to panic and a fallback on the barter system, both.
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 1 week ago:
The point I’m making is that the government has already decided to maintain the highways, so continuing on is the status quo. If they wanted to make new railroads they’d have to expend political capital to get anything new funded.
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 1 week ago:
It would be more interesting to know how many miles they completed with the safety driver in the vehicle.
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 1 week ago:
I’m not so sure. Infrastructure is hella expensive and the US government already maintains the highways that make trucking make sense.
- Comment on Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter 1 week ago:
Judging by the ghost bikes, shoes, walkers, etc, that I see around me, accountability doesn’t prevent cars from hitting pedestrians either :(
They even have a crime called “vehicular manslaughter” because juries weren’t willing to hold drivers accountable for the wrongful death of others without a much reduced penalty…
I agree everyone should be held accountable, including traffic engineers.

I guess there is a password recovery feature with Microsoft accounts, but people don’t remember which email they signed up with?
Maybe it would help to read the initial reddit thread and not this article.
