- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 3 days ago:
I guess from a consumer perspective, it can be more convenient (e.g. wireless charging in a car)
For me, I see it as a way to reduce wear on a charging port, or as an alternative if the port does fail.
I like it for the latter as I don’t like my devices to be inefficient but it makes me feel better that should the USB-C fail on my phone, it’s not game over for my phone.
- Comment on Are display sizes always measured in inches? 2 weeks ago:
Both are accepted spellings, tire in the US and tyre in the UK

The fuck? First person I’ve met that objects to this. Even the sushi places usually throw in soy sauce for your spring rolls
- Comment on You can do it. It's an easy one 3 weeks ago:
Damn, I over thought it. I got “Imaginary cube sum of apple pi” before seeing the answers here.
- Comment on Yes, this is what people did back then 3 weeks ago:
Well now I’ll be thinking all day on the thought experiment of how one could actually prevent it, assuming they’re only a US citizen.
I guess you could send in an anonymous bomb threat on the morning for both towers, but that still wouldn’t prevent the tragedy of all those onboard.

- Comment on Privacy — why should I care 3 months ago:
…and this is how you keep people using mainstream services instead of FOSS / privacy respecting ones.
The actual answer is convenience and not wanting to make their life more difficult, which brings ignorance into it.
Not everyone is ready to flip their whole digital life upside down based on the privacy principles you and I care about - that’s why I too use the approach the parent commenter mentioned, and I’m also okay with people who just won’t make any switches, because while I don’t support it, I understand it.

“The hackers gained initial access using a stolen account credential that lacked multi-factor authentication security, according to UnitedHealth.”
Absolutely unacceptable. I might be easier to forgive them if some zero day was used, but that’s so easily preventable.
That account presumably had some level of privileges, the policy should have been to enforce MFA, and if the account was inactive, disable it until the user needs it at which point set up MFA again.
