  Hell, I bought a 4k 60 hz TV from them and inputs are limited to 30 hz. I’ll never buy a Vizio anything again, sounds like this is their business as usual.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone tell me what format this uh.. nested dictionary is?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost looks like mongodb output. What’s the file extension?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google to weaken ad blockers on Chrome in a push for security⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Extensions by definition are a security issue. For that matter, so is being connected to the Internet in the case of a browser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vanishing power feeds, UPS batteries, failover fails... Cloudflare explains that two-day outage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is interesting. What I’m hearing is they didn’t have proper anti-affinity rules I’m place, or backups for mission-critical equipment.

  The data center did some dumb stuff, but that shouldn’t matter if you set up your application failover properly. Architecture and not testing failovers are the real issue here

  Beat me to it, it collects an ungodly amount of PII

  I was with you on everything until that last sentence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. The only point it wins from me is AD identity integration in a work environment. Other than that edge and chrome are the same garbage.

  Edge at work, FF everywhere else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FEMA and FCC Plan Nationwide Emergency Alert Test for Oct. 4, 2023. Messages Will be Sent to All TVs, Radios and Cell Phones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s as unpopular as you think. I’ve also disabled them due to frequency.

  Too many alerts for everything at all times. Alert fatigue is real. I hate that I’ve done it, as I may miss something important.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android 14 blocks all modification of system certificates, even as root⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If I don’t have the ability to control which CAs I trust, things become useless fast. This is why I fully ditched chomeOS.
