Reboot mid flight is a funny solution
- Comment on More than 15% of teens say they’re on YouTube or TikTok ‘almost constantly’ 11 months ago:
I’ve spent over 2,000 overs on YouTube this year alone and am in the target demographic of this study. I watch a lot of videos in the background while I work, commute, or just chill, to keep myself stimulated.
Although not all of the content I watch is necessarily educational, a grand majority of it is. Whenever there’s a science video in my feed, I’ll probably click it. I’m subscribed to Veritasum, TED, Vox, No Boilerplate, etc.
- Comment on Amazon finds itself in the unusual position of playing catch-up in AI 11 months ago:
They partnered with Anthropic and that seems to be going, fine I guess? But Anthropic’s models definitely need work.

- Comment on AITA for doing a GoFundMe? (Details within.) 1 year ago:
I’m from the country above, but what you described seems like something worth fundraising for. Not eating for 45 days is scary even as the reader (I understand you probably consume food somehow).
I hope you get the help you need and come out of this strong 🙏
- Comment on Shadow PC got hacked, and had user data leak 1 year ago:
It’s actually pretty difficult still if you’re using secure hashing functions like Argon2 and bcrypt because they’re hard on memory and computational power, meaning brute force attacks are pretty much infeasible, both due to hardware requirements and long hashing times.

0 divided by 0 🥲
- Comment on Scrolled across this ad on Reddit for an AI service to speak with the deceased 1 year ago:
I truly miss the days when it was an AI focused on introspection. Now they prioritize (erotic) roleplay and paid cosmetic items.
- Comment on Cloudflare is free of CAPTCHAs; Turnstile is free for everyone 1 year ago:
Nothing can stop 100% of bots. The goal with captchas like Turnstile is to use a significant portion of your resources to the point it’s expensive and slow to perform an attack.
Turnstile runs many background checks on your browser, so headless browsers automatically become futile.
JavaScript PoW challenges are performed that take up multiple seconds of execution time, memory and CPU. This alone is a deterrent because sequential attacks become extremely long to execute.
Concurrent attacks are still unfeasible because Turnstile ups the difficulty if it detects something is up, and receiving requests from thousands of botnet IPs is bound to trip an alarm.
- Comment on The Gruesome Story of How Neuralink’s Monkeys Actually Died 1 year ago:
Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers.
These are conscious beings. Imagine being trapped in a lab where the next time you wake up you might not have full motor function?
- Comment on We have successfully completed our migration to RAM-only VPN infrastructure - Mullvad VPN 1 year ago:
Does it make sense that a privacy VPN has 4 tracking scripts and 5 third party cookies on their website? themarkup.org/blacklight?url=privateinternetacces…
Mullvad has 0.
- Comment on Amazon made a new version of its cashierless tech that doesn’t need cameras 1 year ago:
The system is pretty straightforward: each item, in this case mostly clothing, gets an RFID tag that looks like a normal clothing tag. Customers come into the store, pick out what they want, and walk through an “exit gate” that scans the tags and tallies up the bill.
RFID protected bags 🔥🔥🔥

- Comment on How do you facilitate remote access? 1 year ago:
My upload speed isn’t that fast (50 mbps) so tunnel doesn’t work so well for large bandwidth applications.
- Comment on How do you facilitate remote access? 1 year ago:
How does your dynamic DNS work? When does it resolve to your local network addresses and your public domains?

This whole situation is saddening. She was betrayed and manipulated by those closest to her, and those consequences will haunt her for the rest of her life.
Her parents should be investigated and prosecuted for child abuse.

Google Meet is the gold standard of meeting software in terms of UI/UX in my opinion. The layout is consistent and reliable.

They keep moving the goal post
- Comment on Welp that answers a lot of why all .ml are down 1 year ago:
I don’t understand why they went with free domains in the first place. Freenom is known for being unreliable.
- Comment on The state of Playstore 1 year ago:
Search on the App Store is definitely better, although still far from perfect. There’s only one ad at the top, but any app that is new or unpopular is sometimes excluded from the results entirely.
Discovery on the apps page is very low as it only shows the stuff everybody knows about, like Tinder, Snapchat, etc.
