Scrubbles

Definitely not “Crowdstrike tarnished their brand so much because no one understands what kernel level is that no one is going to get kernel level access”

the bill that was passed essentially said that warrants are no longer needed for data because “save the children”.

This is one of those things I stay out of.

It’s not healthy for kids. But they enjoy it. But it’s definitely used by China for spying. But people should know better than to put private stuff on there.

However the bill I’m against, they put a lot of internet spying in there too in the name of saving the children. So…

Yeah we’ll just see how it turns out

Awareness is 90% of the battle. Just being aware of where you are, what you’re doing, and who’s around you will keep you safe. In my city, and others like NY, I’m always shocked at tourists who are just so blatently tourists. Stopped on the sidewalk, pointing up at the big buildings, completely unaware of the world outside of them. Not only is it incredibly inconsiderate to the people around you, but it makes you an easy target.

The rest for me is confidence. I used to get nervous when I saw a large group of people that I’d have to walk through/around, but now it’s just a normal thing. Just confidently walk past them, don’t look at them, just keep going, and I’ve never been hassled. Hell I’ve had to literally step over people sitting on the ground before, just don’t look like you’re nervous and it’ll go well. If you go out expecting something to go wrong, it probably will. If you look like you go there a million times, no one will care.

Cities really have gotten safer, it’s pretty safe to just walk down any street now in most cities. Just don’t be an idiot walking around looking like you don’t belong offering an easy score.

Tell that to my mother when I was a teenager.

slams. Thank God he did, I was worried he only talked about it.

Don’t forget to add in the primary reason they don’t want to implement it is exactly because of comment’s like OPs, because it makes it look like Android phones are the problem. Most people assume that it’s because it’s an android it doesn’t work right, and so everyone should just have iPhones. Why fix what is already great marketing for them, even if it is a complete lie?

Looks a bit different on my side of the pond but I believe that’s the same thing, yes

You want to make god laugh? Show him your plans.

There’s a reason we have dozens, probably hundreds of sayings about this.

Welcome to life, OP.

Personally I don’t recommend after shave even if you get razer burn. I use shave balm, which helps heal the skin and protect against ingrown hairs after shaving, and rehydrates it. Nivea makes a good one

Agreed, I think a better approach would be to add in federation to existing forum platforms, even the older ones. Then we could have repositories of the information shared rather than single sources of truth.

I was just on the EA forum for a Dragon Age bug I was having, and found the answer in a post form 13 years ago. It kills me that EA could just flip a switch and that would all be gone.

Refusing to learn is the most frustrating things. Working computer repair this would be the surefire way that 1) I was not going to like you and 2) you were going to be a moron who will give me a lot of money of the years.

“I lost my Gmail password.”

“Sure let me show you how to reset it”

“NO. JUST DO IT”

“sigh, that’ll be $30.”

I would always try to teach people how to do things. Refusing to learn at all though, well, I’ve always wondered if there’s a link to refusing to learn anything new and dementia

Feddit.de was big but I don’t see it much anymore. Communities got big in the reddit exodus last year, but you have to keep nurturing them for them to catch on. I’d suggest trying to revive them by posting. Over time they’ll start to grow again

Okay I won’t hold it against you because I grew up Midwestern and to us Mexican and Chinese were considered “ethnic”, but do realize that that is a very weird thing to just say. Now that I’m on the coast should I call tuna casserole or taco/breakfast food ethnic? Sounds weird right?

Next time you think ethnic food may be instead think of it like non-american food. To us, green bean casserole is a “normal” thing, to other people having a noodle dish is an appropriate normal holiday dish. “Normal” and “different” are all just from our point of view.

That’s why you’re being downvote, because you’re on a world stage here, and when you’re talking to someone and calling their food “ethnic” it demeans their culture, and that is a bit insulting. I am guessing it’s just ignorance, but hey now you know.

That being said, have fun exploring your pallette! I’ve lost count of the different cuisines I’ve tried, but every one is a bit different! There’s a Moroccan place that I really love going to, and I have had some really good Ethiopian. Sushi is always my go to favorite! Never be afraid of trying new things!

(And if you decide to post again I’m sure it will do better vote wise, because it is a really interesting question ;)

We use old floppies as coasters!

I have people all the time ask “these are so cute, where did you get them?”. RadioShack. 25 years ago.

Agree. Now I will say when faced with the decision between ethical issues vs profits big tech smashed that profits button without beating an eye, but the tools were always going to be made. It’s just too bad they didn’t stop for 5 seconds to think about how they could be mitigated.

It’s definitely a one way street. Once you notice compression, or color banding, or here the tinni-ness of audio… you just can’t not notice it anymore.

Like I said though, diminishing returns. Pretty much any speakers are better than the TV speakers. Even a cheap soundbar is going to do more than the TV speakers. As the other comment said even an old system from the 90s with speakers that aren’t blown will sound better. Hell my first system back in college was a craigslist find. You don’t have to go full hi-fi massive $1000 system to get a better experience

I absolutely do, but admit it’s diminishing returns. I have a 4k OLED screen with nice tower speakers and I really enjoy my setup. The problem is once you really experience and notice high quality it’s hard to go back

I absolutely agree with you on friends and family. “Ugh I hate that I have to turn it up to hear the dialog but turn it down in the fight scenes”. That’s because you’re using the TV SPEAKERS those 1" drivers aren’t going to deliver the range you need! Get something else!_

For me the true moment of truth was when I bought the OLED and my wife even agreed while watching Maverick “okay that looked amazing”. Justified! Once you see it, you can’t believe you ever didn’t see it

and personally I’m choosing not to bring more life into the planet right before the large event.
