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 weeks 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 weeks ago:
I think you’re confusing “many” with “most”. The definition of “many” does not mean the largest, just simply large.

What issues did you have?
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 4 weeks 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.

How is what he said wrong? 25% is “many Russians”.

You are the MVP. Click bait titles need to die.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month 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.

This is really well said. Thank you
- Comment on Worst PC hardware trends that disappeared 2 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 2 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 2 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 2 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 The circle of life 3 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 Ad industry initiative abruptly shuts down after lawsuit filed by Elon Musk’s X 3 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.

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 3 months ago:
Yes but it is licensed based and focused on business customers.

- Comment on Threat actors exploited Windows 0-day for more than a year before Microsoft fixed it 4 months ago:
I don’t think extensions are a “bother” at all. It’s just a different way to show the info.
- Comment on Threat actors exploited Windows 0-day for more than a year before Microsoft fixed it 4 months ago:
I don’t think it would help. Even without the extension it would still say:
not-malicious.pdf (Application)
We are trained to see file extensions and understand them, but the masses aren’t. There is a column that translates the hidden extension into its corresponding type already.
- Comment on Authy got hacked, and 33 million user phone numbers were stolen 4 months ago:
You’re arguing with someone who was agreeing with you 😑
- Comment on Authy got hacked, and 33 million user phone numbers were stolen 4 months ago:
I expect most usage of authy was based on the open TOTP protocol that Google etc use. The additional benefit was backing up those codes to the authy account, hence the avenue of attack on those accounts.
I agree though, Authy, especially since it was bought out, should be avoided. They deprecated their desktop app which was the only semi useful part of their suite, but I stopped using it years ago.
- Comment on They scared now 4 months ago:
I have no idea. It’s a shower thought, not sure if it’s rejecting reality.
If I were a labour shadow cabinet member 2 years ago I’d be thinking I don’t have a chance of actually performing the primary role. But oh boy, times change quickly.
Another post has a good point. It’s likely there will be a shake up of the labour cabinet early on so if they think anyone isn’t prepared, they will be swapped out.

I’m pleasantly surprised the number of replies on Lemmy saying they used this service. It’s nice to know that there are some old people on here, like me :)
