- Comment on France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU. 3 days ago:
Although not in the same way, the US is leading the charge on that front.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 1 week ago:
This is more about familiarity than difference in ease of use. I’ve used both, they are both super easy.
- Comment on Leaked chat logs expose inner workings of secretive ransomware group 1 week ago:
Not much information in the article but an interesting read nevertheless. Thanks for sharing.
- Comment on Italy to require VPN and DNS providers to block pirated content 1 week ago:
What nonsense. If I want my origin to tor to start with a VPN then I will and I’ll be more anonymous because of it.
- Comment on Microsoft is cracking down on people upgrading to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware 3 weeks ago:
How is this cracking down? The article says the documentation for the registry edits have been removed and an automated approach of removing restrictions is now a false positive for windows defender.
I’m assuming the registry edits still work (article doesn’t say) in which case where am I meant to point my outrage?
Now if they block windows 11 from running and the registry entries do nothing, that would be a worthy news article.
- Comment on Dell kills the XPS brand 1 month ago:
That’s a very weird take. I didn’t blanket recommend Dell, but a specific model.
- Comment on Dell kills the XPS brand 1 month ago:
I bought a Precision 5480. Looks like an xps but better. Was so good I bought the 5490 for work a few months later. Would recommend.
- Comment on It ain't much, but it's a livin' 3 months ago:
I was thinking the same thing. And you got an answer too. Cheers 🥂
- Comment on Sweden, Norway rethink plans for cashless societies over fears that fully digital payment systems would leave them vulnerable to Russian security threats 3 months ago:
Cash is still used a lot. Especially for second hand small purchases. Not everyone wants to do the PayPal dance at a car boot.

Report it lost instead. I’ve lost cards loads of times over the years. One phone call and the new one is on its way. However the fact your bank wouldn’t issue your replacement makes me think they would charge you for this privilege.
- Comment on Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus. 4 months ago:
I think you’re confusing “many” with “most”. The definition of “many” does not mean the largest, just simply large.
- Comment on Lexar doubles up the NM790 series SSDs max capacity to 8TB — new drives spotted at retail for approx $1,000 4 months ago:
What issues did you have?
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 4 months ago:
In the same fashion that cigarettes are no longer on display in stores this will absolutely have an effect. The supply chain will eventually evaporate so once stores are out of stock it’ll no longer be common place. Sure, they could be imported but stores that don’t comply won’t be common and will stick out easily.
- Comment on Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus. 4 months ago:
How is what he said wrong? 25% is “many Russians”.
- Comment on In the Netherlands, we’re closing our emptying prisons. What can other countries learn from how we did it? | Renate van der Zee 4 months ago:
Please elaborate.
- Comment on A tiny town (Spruce Pine North Carolina) just got slammed by Helene. It could massively disrupt the tech industry 4 months ago:
You are the MVP. Click bait titles need to die.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 4 months ago:
Aw man. I left Reddit on my own terms as soon as the writing was on the wall re: 3rd party apps.
To have access ripped away without notice must have bred some deep hatred for the platform.
- Comment on New York Times 1924, Hitler leaves prison 5 months ago:
This is really well said. Thank you
- Comment on Worst PC hardware trends that disappeared 5 months ago:
Yes they were flimsy. When pushing them together the crimped ends would get pushed out the back of the plastic connector casing. Or they wouldn’t assign properly and would require either major force or fiddly realignment.
- Comment on Full open source and private camera monitoring system 6 months ago:
demo.scrypted.app is the new kid on the block. Intuitive interface, easy to configure, not free, great system.
- Comment on If a deaf person had tinnitus, they'd probably never recognize it 6 months ago:
Fun fact about how the brain deals with a lack of sound. It uses the part of the brain that normally handles sound for something else.
My wife has a cochlear implant fitted in her adult hood. Certain sounds triggered responses or feelings in different parts of her body.
For example, rubbing my hands together to make a swishing sound was very uncomfortable for a time and made her feet tickle.
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 6 months ago:
With the user id being salted it’s going to be different every time. This means it’ll be difficult if not impossible to monitor voting trends or abuse.
Also how would you use the password unless it was stored in the clear. If it’s based on a pre-salted tuple, how does one handle password changes?
- Comment on Steam’s latest update to user reviews doesn’t find your “jokes, memes, ascii art and other content” as funny as you do 6 months ago:
We and our 692 partners process personal data
Jesus Christ every website is like this now. Wtf
- Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit? 6 months ago:
- Comment on The circle of life 6 months ago:
Slightly off topic question. Science memes is a popular community and I enjoy seeing it in my feed. However I always find the images to load really slowly, and half the time the thumbnails are missing. Is mander.xyz under heavy load or being ddos’d?
- Comment on To distinguish between the word woman and women, we change the A to an E, but only change the pronunciation on the O. 6 months ago:
In UK it goes from
Woman – Wu mun Women - Wi men
- Comment on Ad industry initiative abruptly shuts down after lawsuit filed by Elon Musk’s X 6 months ago:
I don’t get it. Elon didn’t win a thing, he lost harder.
He complained advertisers were banding together and boycotting his platform. He starts a frivolous lawsuit.
So now even more advertisers are boycotting his platform.
- Comment on CrowdStrike Isn't the Real Problem 7 months ago:
Autopilot, intune. Force restart device twice to get startup repair, choose factory reset, share LAPS admin password and let the workstation rebuild itself.
- Comment on CrowdStrike Isn't the Real Problem 7 months ago:
Yes but it is licensed based and focused on business customers.
