Wow, that takes me back. I used to prefer Anandtech to Ars Technica, Hot Hardware, Tom’s Hardware, etc.
But I haven’t visited any of them in like a decade, so I can see why they might be shutting down.

Masochism, paranoia.

Looks cool. My RPi 1 is still rolling along running Pi Hole, but if I need to replace it, something like this running off PoE would be very tidy.

A $3 Million Crypto Wallet… A $2 Million Crypto Wallet… A $5.5 Million Crypto Wallet…
(This joke probably doesn’t work anymore, but I still think it’s funny.)

I’m not using disk encryption. It’s a desktop and if it’s every stolen I’ve got bigger problems.
Also, I presume that disk encryption makes it so you can’t just pop the drive in an adapter and pull stuff off it, which I sometimes need to do with old, retired drives.

Rats. Leaving TPM off in the BIOS is how I’ve been avoiding it nagging me to upgrade from 10.

Interesting. As much as I’m a Foobar2000 fan, it’s not open source. Looks like I’ll be giving Winamp another spin soon.

So you’re suggesting that all scammers are skilled.

‘splurging’ on a dumb tv

This might not be the best advice if money is an object, but some LG OLEDs can be rooted simply by visiting a website:

So you get a top-quality screen and complete control over the software.
Personally, I’ve never connected my LG OLED to the internet and it works just great.

Looks like a lot of info is shared through the manufacturer’s app which interacts with the car. Easy to avoid if you don’t install the app.
What we’re all here looking to avoid is the car itself uploading data. The article isn’t as clear about that, I guess since it depends so much on your exact model of vehicle.

Especially since modern desktop environments will have a gesture or something to give you a preview of all your open windows. What’s annoying is that they all seem to shuffle the spatial order of the window previews whenever they feel like it.

Right… I use multiple browser windows as tab groups. Tried tree tabs, but since I keep one window per topic I rarely get enough tabs open to need them.

Meta isn’t heavily influenced by a government adversarial to that of the US, so the risks to US security are not the same.
The mental health risk looks pretty similar, though.

Now if only someone over there would order their plain logo shirts in common sizes I’d give them $15.

I hear pigeons aren’t too hard to breed.

They should parse it the same way as “postgresql”.

Honest question: Assuming nation states have the all-powerful ability to install software on your networking gear, which country would you rather have? USA or Russia?

I choose a Reolink camera. It works well with Surveillance Station on my Synology NAS, Home Assistant, the official Android client, and the official Mac client. I’ve never been able to get the official Windows client to work. It’s failed to work on two different computers.
The camera runs off Power Over Ethernet, so it’s just a single CAT6 cable and there are no batteries to manage.
The camera bounces your requests to stream through Reolink’s servers by default, but you can disable that feature if you’re only using the cameras locally.

Depends on the kinds of accounts you follow. Mastodon is all technical users - so not many celebrities who aren’t in technical fields.

I had to update my BIOS a while ago and it set TPM back to disabled as default. Voila. No Windows 11 prompts because, as far as it can tell, I do not meet the requirements.
