Protesters violently storming US capitol

US police: I sleep

Protesters peacefully protesting Israel

US police: real shit

I was excited for nothing...

WTF?! What's in the mind of those IDF soldiers? "oh look, thousands of hamas troops conveniently standing around in open space waiting to be shot"?

Those modern high speed USB controllers are not free. They used up available PCIe lanes. The more you add the less PCIe lanes available in the motherboard.

If you have a lot of low speed USB peripherals, just buy some large USB 2.0 hubs so you can reserve the high speed ports for high speed applications such as external disks.

When Google Glass was a thing, I remember people being alarmed with the fact that it has a front facing camera and worry it'll be abused to record videos in inappropriate settings without permission (e.g. public restroom). I think there were instances where the glass wear getting harassed because of this. The camera wasn't even turned on by default.

Fast forward today, the vision pro has multiple always on cameras pointing to every direction, yet the thing most people worry about is how goofy it looks?

How times have changed. I guess people are more comfortable getting recorded these days with so many CCTV and smartphones around.

One blade a day?!! Are you a billionaire or something? The acceptable signal to replace the razor is when the pain from the dull blade pulling your hairs makes your eye watery, and then you try to man up for a couple more shaves before accepting defeat and put in a fresh blade.

Second, we find that a few privacy-focused users often ask their browsers to go beyond standard practices to preserve their anonymity. This includes changing their user-agent (something bots will do to evade detection as well), and preventing third-party scripts from executing entirely. Issues caused by this behavior can now be displayed clearly in a Turnstile widget, so those users can immediately understand the issue and make a conscientious choice about whether they want to allow their browser to pass a challenge.

Those of you that browse the internet with JS disabled (e.g. using NoScript), the time of reckoning has finally come. A huge swatch of internet will no longer be accessible without enabling javascript.

I always thought microsoft allowing HWID activation was a deliberate move to get as many people to use windows and got them enrolled into windows updates, which bolster their market share and allow them to push ads/promotion for their various services to windows start menu. I think microsoft got a lot more to lose from ending HWID activation.

The moment I tried Sync for Lemmy I have this feeling of closure, like I finally can make peace with the fact that I'm leaving Reddit behind for good after using it for 13 years (8 years of those on Sync). The only thing that top this is the first time I saw federation in action where people from various lemmy, kbin and mastodon instances talk to each other in the same thread and deciding to jump ship on the spot.
