Should the machine's operating system be calculated in the storage too?

I'm positive that David Cronenberg had no idea ehat a video game was when he made that movie

Corporate astroturfing is the norm

Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote "watch and movies that you love". It's always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.

Godort ,

The only use reviews have is to make sure that the app youre downloading is most likely the original and not a malicious lookalike.

Artificial content has poisoned the web to the point that adding "reddit" to the end of google searches so that you could get real human content was commonplace.

I miss the days where you had to learn HTML if you wanted to share your opinions online.

Godort ,

Its especially bad these days to the point where im not even sure how to find good results anymore, but 5 years ago things were much better (or at least astroturfing was way less common).

Godort ,

To be fair, the alcoholic menu us typically like this too. 95% of the menu is beer, wine, or vodka and some kind of syrup.

Godort ,

I dont see a future where Social engineering is not the most effective type of attack. People have always been the most vulnerable part of any system for the last 12000 years.

Godort ,

To be fair, comparing terminal to the registry is not comparing apples to apples. The registry is more like a complicated config file full of barely documented options. Still miserable to work in, but that's beside the point.

The terminal equivalent to windows is Powershell which id say is much more favorable.

Godort ,

Honestly, with the unfathomable amount of money he was set the make from that deal, I dont blame him for doing it.

It's a good message too, if you ignore who said it and why.

Godort ,

Windows error messages are usually something to pay attention to if they generate a popup. But you can ignore most errors and warnings in the event viewer.

Linux is the same. If you get a popup, look into that, but if you see warnings or errors in a logfile then they can most likely be ignored if the app is working

Godort ,

How?

I dual boot and use the command line a similar amount in both. cmd and powershell in windows are super useful for troubleshooting things that don't work, or setting configuration options that are just not possible from the GUI, like disabling the hiberfil

The first release of windows 11 LTSC is supposed to be out sometime this year too.

Much like the 10 version, I expect it to have most of the bloat removed and only require a couple tweaks.

Godort ,

Is this from that Bioware sonic game for the DS?

This is a good attitude.

So far, the only thing AI has shown to be pretty good at is summerizing a large amount of data, and even then it cant be fully trusted to not make mistakes.

Godort ,

Guaranteed it means he gets an unpaid day off for a day that he would've normally been scheduled.

Godort ,

Yes, it's possible

You need a SIP trunk to connect to and a PBX server. I would also recommend a proxy server to obfuscate your SIP server as it will be constantly attacked.

It doesn't technically need its own network, but having it on its own VLAN is recommended as you will want to have some QoS policies for the UDP voice traffic otherwise your call audio will be choppy

Godort ,

T&T is a Loblaws chain. It's wholly unsurprising that they'd be this scummy

Apps get a one strike rule.
The minute I get a notification I don't want, that app doesn't get to send me notifications anymore

Godort ,

It's hard because the advertising somewhat subsidies the price.(Ie: they want the ad revenue so they will sell the display at cost with the intention that they'll make all the profit back from ads)

Yo can absolutely find commercial displays in that size and resolution, but you'll pay a much higher price for them.

Godort ,

There is a nice benefit, when most people on the internet suddenly gain critical thinking skills and learn to recognize bullshit

Godort ,

Good. Ad blocking is security and anyone that tells you different both doesn't care about your computer security, and also wants to sell you something.

That 2/3 to 3/4 of computer programmers, computer security experts and advertisers seems low. I feel like that should be closer to 90%

Godort ,

Domain squatting is incredibly scummy, but I have no idea how it would be possible to have any other system.

My understanding is that domains do expire unless you pay the fee to renew for another year.

Regarding unused domain names, how would anyone know if a particular name is being unused? Domain names are used for more things than browsable websites. You'd have to have a system that could determine if traffic is going to those names, which seems bad from a privacy standpoint and also pretty easy to script around.

I just took an edible half an hour ago, so hopefully me

Wondering why there were so many cartoons based off of R rated movies in the early 90s.

I'll switch to Wayland once it becomes the default in the distro I happen to be using that month. Not before.

Did none of you watch Pig?

That movie is incredible.

"So which one of you is the 'girl'?"

Godort ,

Their system of government is fucked.

Their current leader literally controls the sun and is effectively a deity. The population of that world can't fight multiple actual gods to take control.

Godort , (edited )

Also, how bad must it suck to be a different species?

Like, if you're a deer or a buffalo, the only real gods are ponies. There has to be some underlying resentment that your species doesn't look like God, but your neighbors one kingdom over do.

Godort ,

I am currently dual booting and trying to get feature parity in my Linux install as a reletave newbie.

So far the largest hurdle I've been able to solve was getting my RAID array recognized. That sent me down a rabbit hole.

To get it working in Linux I needed to:

  • switch from LMDE to Mint proper
  • add a PPA repository
  • install the RAID driver
  • manually edit my grub config file to ignore AHCI
  • run a command to apply the change
  • reboot
  • format the volume

To get it working in Windows I needed to:

  • format the volume(Windows gave me a popup with a single button to do this on login)
Godort ,

The point I was trying to make is that if you ever want to do something that is not covered with an out of the box install, it's typically far harder to do in Linux than in Windows (although my ~15 years as a windows sysadmin probably bias my opinion)

Windows is turning into a telemetry nightmare because about 10 years ago Microsoft figured out that they could sell ad space and monetize user data, so I'm trying to get off the platform before my LTSC install hits EOL. But I have to admit it's a hard path.

Godort ,

I have never played a game that made me feel like an idiot more than Baba is You.

10/10, would recommend playing.

What's the over/under that this was about preventing people getting around HDCP using a modified driver?

I'm not falling for the ol' spicy pickle lid again

This is what its like working in childcare. Kids do stuff like this all the time.

Godort ,

I'm in my 30s and I don't think I could draw something that good

Godort ,

I am unfamiliar with the math used to calculate that value.

Would it not work like a parity RAID where each sector would have parity bits in a different location on the disc?

Godort ,

Assuming the software isn't lost, then yeah, typically it can be emulated or reverse engineered to work.

The bigger hurdle is the hardware, especially if the encoding of the data was proprietary, meaning that even if you could get a reading without it, you'd still need to figure out how to decode it into useful data

Godort ,

This is the (correct) opinion of anyone that has actually played both games.

Unfortunately I think you are right in that they're in the minority, which is a shame.

Godort ,

Almost every MaltOMeal cereal is better than the name brand version.

Godort ,

Sounds like you want Noscript in addition to uBO

Godort ,

I agree that for this size of network AD is definitely not something you want to deal with unless you want to learn how it works.

However, I'm not sure it really increases attack vectors to have it running, outside of the fact that it's a new network service on the LAN. The out of the box default configuration is not bad these days, security-wise

Correct. However, if you have a way to run a PowerShell command as an administrator, you can run a single cmdlet to get access to the bitlocker recovery key.
