Maybe make your own post instead of trying to hijack this one with a inflammatory statement masquerading as a question.

The psychological reaction behind a victim’s response is varied and largely unknown. There are many, many factors at play. Fear is a large part, for sure. Our media tends to portray victims poorly - and people react poorly as well. There are so many factors at play that usually culminate in “it’s better if I just keep quiet”. Just like similar factors come into play when it becomes public and now you’re feeling pressure to also speak up.

Physically unplugging it may not be enough and risks permanent damage. Installing a 50ohm terminator is a much safer option on all accounts and takes just about the same amount of effort as unplugging it ( ~$10 extra).

This is the guide I had used for my previous car: https://imgur.com/gallery/step-by-step-guide-to-disable-onstar-on-2022-chevy-bolt-this-is-reversible-not-permanent-n00QKnH#rGSoW34

When it comes to answering questions that I feel are basic, I’ve had to acknowledge that other people have different strengths. Like this xkcd.

Instead I go based on repeat answers to the same or substantially similar question. If I have to explain something 3 times in as little time, I might start to feel annoyed.

Of course though I won’t every let it show, so the only real impact it makes is their ranking on my internal leaderboard of coworkers I’d be happy to see quit lol.

I mean, it’s very possible an it was written by “an AI” (an LLM). For all we know the prompt the user gave it was something along the line of “get your pull requests accepted no matter the cost” and it’s fancy text prediction decided, in it’s ever ongoing roleplay, that the targeted blog post would shame the developer into accepting it’s PR.

I definitely don’t under the paranoia though. I don’t understand how people are convincing themselves any of this so close to actual intelligence. Ask your fancy LLM how to fix your cup that "is sealed at the top and “open at the bottom” or if you should drive to the car wash to get a car wash if it’s only 100ft away - both scenarios obvious to most any human and will need to be trained out of the current leading LLMs (if they haven’t been patched already).

I like to tell my juniors “readable code is maintainable code”. 9 out of 10 times a comment could instead just be choosing better names.

Have you rebooted the phone recently?

Yes, that’s the capacity I’m using it in. I don’t have the Coral accelerator. I was trying to convey that pretty much any old PC and work for this with that one addon.

Just to add on to this:

Frigate is a open source solution that’ll take any RTSP capable camera and give it super powers. All those AI features the companies like Ring and Nest advertise, but locally. Sure, there is a learning curve - but it isn’t atrocious. And you’d need local hardware, but if you have a PC you could throw a $110 Coral USB Accelerator and get all this.

Yeah this is news to me. Apparently I’m supposed to give French people shit? Sounds like a hassle.

My sister uses a variation of this closer to a traditional lighter with a long neck to light her candles. It’s rechargeable, and she’s been using the same one for over a decade.

My first apartment had Comcast or DSL. I signed up, a month later I was part of their “experimental” data caps program. During the course of this I had a sales rep call and fell for the pitch. Turns out, he downright committed fraud and made promises that were patently untrue. It took 48 hours of back and forth in various mediums over the course of a month to get the situation resolved.

The solution was to complain on reddit and have an employee give me a one time use code to use Comcast’s VIP support center… Which is ridiculous that it exists in the first place.

I predicated all my subsequent (about 4) moves with “Comcast is not in the area” as a filtering criteria. Fuck Comcast.

You’re describing a sense of nostalgia. And no, I don’t consider it immature.

Well, I wouldn’t call it’s premium. Unlocked is closer to MSRP, whereas carrier locked is being subsidized by the carrier and whatever requirements they have in place. You’ll usually end up paying more in the long run then if you went with unlocked and a MVNO.

Like usual with us humans and our fickle minds, YMMV.

There are many factors that can impact this, though I would clarify - you aren’t losing memories, they’re there, just harder to access. You aren’t losing your sense of self, it’s evolving - who you are as a person is constantly changing.

For me personally, as someone with aphantasia I’ve never really been in touch with my memories in the first place. I’ve been very much a “in the moment” person - despite that my past experiences do define me, even if I don’t know why.

No toes were harmed! Well, aside from that confidently incorrect user elsewhere on the post.

Thanks for clarifying! It’s been a while since I’ve worked with IPv6 directly, fortunately it “just works” in my current home environment and since I’m no longer doing colocation for my self hosted stuff it’s on the back burner.

Ah - yeah the /128 is what the ISP used to route traffic to your router. I believe that’s IPv6 PD (prefix delegation) - the router uses DHCPv6, gets given that /128 it’ll use for the ISP, then the ISP delegates the /64 (or other sizes) to the router.

If your ISP is doing to right IPv6 should be setup for SLAAC, in which case they would give you an entire /64. I don’t use OpenWRT, but I assume it’s showing you the IPv6 /64 from IPv6-PD used for SLAAC, and the /128 the router is using to communicate with the ISP If it’s SLAAC your client devices should be getting two IPv6 addresses as well. One is for privacy, that’s the one websites will see when you connect but can’t be hit, and the other is the one you would use to reach your computer from another device.
