- Comment on EU charges Microsoft with 'abusive' bundling of Teams and Office, breaching antitrust rules 6 days ago:
Last year, I heard so much about the EU forcing Microsoft to allow users to choose a browser and a search engine.
Did that not happen?
- Comment on The return of pneumatic tubes 1 week ago:
No thanks. As long as companies send literal shit to homes, I’m good.
- Comment on Norwegian National Cyber Security Centre Recommends Moving Away from SSLVPN and WebVPN 1 month ago:
IPsec with IKEv2 is the NCSC’s recommended alternative for secure remote access. This protocol encrypts and authenticates each packet of data, using keys that are refreshed periodically. Despite acknowledging that no protocol is entirely free of flaws, the NCSC believes that IPsec with IKEv2 significantly reduces the attack surface for secure remote access incidents, especially due to its reduced tolerance for configuration errors compared to SSLVPN.
- Comment on FCC explicitly prohibits fast lanes, closing possible net neutrality loophole 1 month ago:
I wonder if this would affect speed tests. I know using Ookla’s speed test is inaccurate because ISPs change speeds when connected to certain servers.
- Comment on How do you handle family requests that you disagree with? 1 month ago:
You can do this with Jellyfin, exactly like your instructions.
- Comment on YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers 1 month ago:
They still do on my other browsers when you start watching videos.
In my main browser, they took out the entire Explore section so I can’t even see what’s trending. Lol.
- Comment on DNS traffic can leak outside the VPN tunnel on Android 1 month ago:
The leaks seem to be limited to direct calls to the C function
getaddrinfo
.The Chrome browser is an example of an app that can use
getaddrinfo
directly.So a Google browser…
The above applies regardless of whether Always-on VPN and Block connections without VPN is enabled or not, which is not expected OS behavior and should therefore be fixed upstream in the OS.
We’ve been able to confirm that these leaks occur in multiple versions of Android, including the latest version (Android 14).
And a Google OS…
We have reported the issues and suggested improvements to Google and hope that they will address this quickly.
It’s a feature, not a bug.
- Comment on YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers 1 month ago:
On my browser, they blocked recommended videos. Lol. Now I use FreeTube. Anything like that happen to you?
- Comment on Google lays off hundreds of 'Core' employees, moves some positions to India and Mexico 1 month ago:
Yes. They have let go people that worked there for over 15 years.
I believe what Mark Zuckerberg said about the tech layoffs, streamlining by getting rid of more management roles.
- Comment on 30% of Children Ages 5-7 Are on TikTok 2 months ago:
Putting their kids on Tiktok so they are able to poop in peace.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Thanks for sharing. Sorry that happened to you and hope you got everything back in order.
Was it an .exe file that looked like a zip file that you opened? Or was there an executable in the zip file?
- Comment on Why I ditched Gmail for Proton Mail 2 months ago:
My mistake. Sorry about that.
- Comment on Framework won’t be just a laptop company anymore 2 months ago:
Tomorrow, it wants to be a consumer electronics company, period.
Patel won’t say — I only get the barest hints, no matter how many different ways I ask.
- Comment on Reddit Is Taking Over Google 2 months ago:
Is there anyway to search all Lemmy instances through Google or DuckDuckGo like
site:reddit.com
? - Comment on Netflix Doc ‘What Jennifer Did’ Uses AI Images to Create False Historical Record 2 months ago:
If there was a disclosure, that would be fine. Documentaries used actors, reenactments, illustrations, 3D generated content, etc. before. If it helps viewers visualize the topic, it is fine. If it skews the story to push a theory of the documentary, that’s not fine.
- Comment on Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a day 2 months ago:
Considering how security is often forgotten on smart devices, having an oven connected to the internet is pretty scary…
- Comment on Best printer 2024: a humorous critique of the Google search engine and printer enshittification 2 months ago:
I bought two printers in the last 2 decades. One looked like the model in the article, which I gave to a family member. The other one is a Brother Laser printer with a scanner.
I’d rather get a 50 pack of markers and start coloring in my printouts than buy a crappy inkjet printer. Plus it’s bonding time with my nieces and nephews. I pay them in cookies.
- Comment on [Retro Dodo]Google is killing Retro Dodo and Other Independent Sites 2 months ago:
I did a search for “retro handheld news” and they were like #7 and I did a search for “Anbernic rg353” and they were #8. I have blockers on and above Retro Dodo was Anbernic’s official site (fair), an Aliexpress site that is not Anbernic’s (crap), Amazon third part sellers (also crap), and one YouTube reviewer with 41k subs.
So his assessment is fair but I always tried to avoid Retro Dodo before because on its early days they always had some kind of info wrong or they don’t go more in depth with their reviews. Their site ranking was always higher then better sites with better content.
It’s likely that our website structure isn’t perfect or that our content may likely be “over-optimised” for Google, but at least tell me. I am no SEO expert;l I have a million plates to spin as a content website operator, and I cannot get everything right. If Google were to inform me what I was doing incorrectly then I could change that, but they don’t. They just keep hiding our work, month after month after month.
Really curious about this.

- Comment on Former telecom manager admits to doing SIM swaps for $1,000 3 months ago:
Thank you. I never listened to Darknet Diaries.
For anyone else reading this, Sim-swapping starts at 36:00 but I suggest you listen to the first part too. Very interesting.
- Comment on Former telecom manager admits to doing SIM swaps for $1,000 3 months ago:
For carrying the unauthorized number porting, Katz received $1,000 in Bitcoin per SIM swap (total of $5,000), plus an (unspecified) percentage of the profits earned from the illicit access to the victims’ devices.
The amount he made is $5,000 minumum.
I think 1 year for every instance is fair. This could really ruin someone. At least stolen credit cards have protection. Stealing someone’s crypto wallet could mean that money is gone for good.
- Comment on Former telecom manager admits to doing SIM swaps for $1,000 3 months ago:
I didn’t notice that. All documentation just refers to the company as “Company-1”.
I’m guessing the company made a deal they would cooperate if their name isn’t included in.
Not sure how accurate but I found someone with the same name and age in Marlton, NJ on Spokeo.
His two cell phone numbers say “AT&T Mobility”. His landline says Verizon. I’m going to guess he worked for AT&T. Could be wrong though.

Yeah but we also use the toilet seat. So for me, that’s enough to leave it down.
