- Comment on U.S. agencies back banning top-selling home routers on security grounds 52 minutes ago:
With TP-Link, I would say the bigger concern is that they are reeaaaalllyyy slow to patch vulnerabilities, if they do it at all.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
I had a Zune. It was a phenomenal product. It was just priced too high and trying to compete in a market flooded with cheap MP3 players.
I think the video player functionality wasn’t as big a selling point as they thought it would be to the average user since you either had to purchase films from the store …or acquire them in other ways and convert them to a supported file format.

And here I am running an old Dell Poweredge that probably consumes 10 watts when it’s powered off.
- Comment on Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like 2 days ago:
I would not buy them here or there. I would not buy them anywhere. I do not like appliances with ads. I do not like them Sam-I-Am.
- Comment on Amazon plans to cut 30,000 corporate jobs in response to pandemic overhiring 2 days ago:
If you’re leading an organization that somehow managed to “overhire” 30k employees, then the first person to hit the bricks should be you because you really suck at your job.
- Comment on ICarly "IKiss" episode was an allegory about being a virgin 3 days ago:
First off, I wouldn’t take anything from a junior high level sitcom seriously.
Second, no one cares if you’re a virgin. And if they do care, their opinion on the subject is irrelevant.
Stop worrying about it.
- Comment on It's just a fancy new name for a lobotomy 5 days ago:
I think some ENT’s like to downplay the severity. I was told “we’ll do it on Friday and you’ll be back to work on Monday” which was completely unrealistic.
Recovery time is more like 7-10 days.

That’s how you know it’s really bad.

They didn’t put you under for that?? God Almighty. My septiplasty was brutal but successful so it was worth it for me. At least they had the decency to knowxi me out for it.

- Comment on OpenAI will allow mature content, including erotica, to verified adult users as of December 1 week ago:
It’s pretty hard to find a kid that doesn’t have Snapchat anymore. Basically being trained to hand over all their personal info to random strangers as soon as they’re able to hold a cell phone.
And of course they hide the read messages for the end user to provide the illusion that it’s “deleted” which I have to admit is brilliant. Extremely unethical but brilliant.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
Currently working on a networking problem. I have multiple Proton VPN connections on my Mikrotik router. Main reason being for fail over in case one endpoint reaches capacity, goes unresponsive, etc.
It’s a bit tricky since Proton issues the same peer and gateway IP for each connection. Haven’t quite got it working the way I want it to yet.

Well unfortunately the President of the United States is bad at business and the Republicans are …Republicans. The only thing that matters to either are rich people.

If there’s a “best” assassin, it only stands to reason that there’s also a “worst” assassin.

- Comment on If someone from a rich family chooses not to date a poor or middle-class people thats not "wrong" 3 weeks ago:
while rich people can be reckless spenders.
In the late 1800’s, the Vanderbilt’s were one of the wealthiest families in the world. Right up until they each blew their respective shares of the family fortune by doing shit like building houses that they couldn’t afford to maintain.
- Comment on This is real 3 weeks ago:
I served on the board of a Section 8 housing authority for a number of years.
You would be amazed at the number of people who don’t understand that leases are legally binding contracts and there are actual, enforceable consequences for violating the conditions of it.
“You guys can’t evict me.”
“Uhhh, yeah, we can. It just so happens that hording 30 cats in your house and letting them soak every inch of the place with piss is a violation of the terms of your lease.”

Teenager: “What? Nana doesn’t know what ‘gas’ means.”
Me: “You wanna bet? Ever heard of the Rolling Stones? 🎶Jumping Jack Flash. it’s a gas🎶.”
Teenager: 😧

They probably view that as a statistic worth bragging about. It’s not. If Excel got calculations right 57.2% of the time it would be completely worthless.

That is a very interesting way to describe nepotism.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
The problem for OTA affiliates/broadcasters is content. Their business model relies on getting eyeballs so they can justify what they charge for advertising. Creating content that your viewers actually want to watch is expensive.
Aside from some of the larger PBS stations, I don’t know that any of the major broadcasters, like Sinclair, have any experience producing their own content. They can throw their little tantrum and refuse to air Kimmel, but that’s just going to hurt them in the short term as advertisers will decide OTA timeslots are not a good investment.
