I thought this was debunked as fear mongering?

Right click taskbar.

Lol it’s a nonprofit, shit ain’t gonna happen

+1 for vesper, very interesting world. I liked the story.

This would work, but why not just not connect it to Internet?

I work in IT at a fitness center and we have TVs in front of the treadmills. They are not enterprise TVs, just standard Samsung TVs. Above the treadmills, we have a conference room. After setting up a conference room with wireless screen sharing, I found that all of the TV’s below show up when trying to cast. Obviously I tried to disable them, but there is no way to do so outside of physically ripping out the antenna. I called support and everything. Why the fuck was that decision made

Unless the dude is saying only film should be admissible, which doesn’t sound all that bad.

I could waste my time explaining or you could Google it. Long story short is that there are many ways to send information that don’t involve the internet at all, and you’d have to get a mid 90s car if you didn’t want any data sent at all. They got worse in around 2012 when more protocols were added as well

Nope, still a privacy nightmare

Sir, this is apple.

Gotta buy their apple 5 point screwdriver

Open back

Ooh. Just read the first chapter as a free trial. Gonna hit up the library tomorrow!

Weirdly enough the windows 11 start menu has gotten better.

It is so sad we only got one season. That show was too ahead of its time, it would be an absolute hit if it came out today

Martin Starr kicks ass

Also in rural America. How did you get someone not to laugh at you when you asked? God I fucking hate the small mindedness around me, but I couldn’t stand the city either. I cannot find someone to put one in my house so I’m going to have to install it myself next summer.

Electric heat is not always 99.9% efficient, resistive heating is.

Heat pumps are more than 100% efficient(compared to resistive heating)

It’s not bs, because we are moving heat, not creating it. You thinking it is bullshit will not change the laws of thermodynamics. Try to think about it this way.

“Cold” is a made up human concept, it really is a lack of heat energy. The coldest is 0K, but even a Midwest winter is waaaaaay above that. Heat pumps (and all refrigerant-based systems) work by changing the phase of the refrigerant from liquid to gas to cool, or by compressing a gas to a liquid. This phase change takes energy from the surrounding air (think about computer duster, the can gets cold) and then pipes it inside, where it can be compressed to release the heat it just picked up from outside. In the summer you flip the reverse switch to cool your house.

Here is an explanation from someone much more eloquent than myself:https://youtu.be/7J52mDjZzto?si=sYlNlpvGnJs16lwk

CPU aside, it’s best to wait for thunderbolt 5 to mature. Might finally be able to go to using one device for travel and an eGPU for gaming.

Spax torx?

What year model?

You can make a fireable shotgun out of like 15$ of pipe fittings
