Grim Dawn is an ally. Good ass game.

The search bar is at the top of the screen. Click inside of it and it shows you what you can search. It's dirt easy.

Your coworker sounds like the quintessential insufferable R&M fan.

You. Don't. Need. To. Put. Your. Car. On. The. Internet.

Don't buy vehicles that need you to be connected to the internet. The truth is, Tesla knows full well how vulnerable its cars are. They designed them. It definitely has nothing to do with the global stolen car black market /s.

Avast fined $16.5 million for ‘privacy’ software that actually sold users’ browsing data (www.theverge.com)

Avast, the cybersecurity software company, is facing a $16.5 million fine after it was caught storing and selling customer information without their consent. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced the fine on Thursday and said that it’s banning Avast from selling user data for advertising purposes.

If the software is free, but not open source, it's harvesting your data. How else do you think these companies stay in business?

dangblingus ,

She's fuckin those door to door Japanese gentlemen, isn't she?

Are you impressed by the shape? Does it make you feel upper middle class that your tea bags are this shape? Poor people don't drink tea made with bags of this shape! It's fancy! Now drink your microplastics!

dangblingus ,

These are extremely common tea bags found all over the world that are well known to be made of plastic.

dangblingus ,

Sometimes I forget that people on Lemmy have trouble parsing brutally obvious sarcasm/low level satire.

dangblingus ,

It seems pretty clear that they mean "male" as they follow the mention of "man" up with "woman".

dangblingus ,

On this week's episode: Smug Atheist's Unfunny Preachy Comic.

dangblingus ,

It's 2024. People still assume apps installed on their phones aren't siphoning every single 1 and 0 on your phone including your texts and recordings of your voice calls and then selling that data to a 3rd party advertising firm.

Why in FUCKS name would you put your menstrual cycle data on an app that some stranger made?

dangblingus ,

Stop paying for something that could easily be done with a pencil and a regular paper calendar.

dangblingus ,

Right, but the privacy implications trump all of that for me.

dangblingus ,

Bombs strapped to remote controlled planes aren't the weapons of the future. The American military has fucking autonomous robot dogs that carry machine guns and have thermal imaging sensors.

dangblingus ,

It was that way before Musk foolishly bought it.

dangblingus ,

By big arms open wide.

dangblingus ,

This is such an old article at this point. PCs don't get sent to the landfill because the OS isn't supported anymore. That's idiotic.

dangblingus ,

Replace the last frame with "Mostly TNG" and this is a scary accurate boiled down representation of Lemmy.

What country is that yellow dot right near 100?

HP’s 'All-In' Printer Rental Watches Everything You Print, Tells HP All About It (www.extremetech.com)

In addition to tracking the printer’s online or offline status, page count, and ink levels, your rented printer will look at the types of documents you’re printing (e.g., PDF, JPG, Word), the types of devices that initiated the print job, “peripheral devices,” and other “metrics” related to the service, the All-In...

You'd have to be a complete mental deficient to go out and consciously decide to buy a brand new HP product in 2024. Every single day it's more bad publicity for HP and yet they don't receive any consumer backlash that lasts longer than the breath required to complain about it.

dangblingus ,

All according to plan.

While it's weird that they waited so long, emulating Nintendo systems is nothing new. We used to emulate SNES in the late 90s. Nintendo has generally always been the first and last name in quality single player gaming experiences, and their games are always in high demand. There will always be a contingent of people dedicated to emulating Nintendo systems, no matter what Barbara Streisand has to say about the matter.

dangblingus ,

That song slaps tho.

In my experience, Conservatives usually don't do anything to improve the income levels of working class people.

If I was Argentinian, I'd move to Patagonia and be a wildman.

The issue is a lot harder to ignore when the person to your right and the person to your left is starving to death.

dangblingus ,

The US economy is booming?

Are they bad at privacy or good at data scraping? It's not like they intend to protect your privacy. That doesn't make the line go up.

dangblingus ,

It's uh, not that big a deal.

dangblingus ,

Is that justification for spying on civilians?

dangblingus ,

This post actually illustrates the opposite of your interpretation. Satire generally extrapolates on the actual real events with logical evolutions that demonstrate that the original premise was laughable at best, and at worst creates a double standard.

dangblingus ,

Most people don't pirate 4K media due to file size and internet speed constraints. Most people pirate 1080p video. There's also the prospect of people pirating live television, which HDMI capture would be perfect for.

Late Actor Matthew Perry's Twitter Hacked: Fake Charity Plea Targets Fans with Cryptocurrency Scam (www.bitdefender.com)

Scammers hacked the late actor Matthew Perry's Twitter account and posted a fake plea for cryptocurrency donations in the name of his foundation. The foundation confirmed the post was a scam and urged people not to donate....

dangblingus ,

Weird that they wouldn't either delete the account or memorialize it thereby removing the ability to log in or create posts.

But hey! It's Twitter, the worst managed social media platform on the internet!

dangblingus ,

You're forgetting that Americans have been brainwashed to think that large tracts of unproductive land with zero biological diversity is a flex. And no one wants to be seen as some poor with bugs in their yard.

dangblingus ,

Is there a difference between sealioning and just asking for verification of a bold claim? On a forum such as Lemmy, where people are encouraged to have unsolicited debate in the comments, are we by nature immune from the worst aspects of sealioning?

dangblingus ,

I like this explanation.

dangblingus ,

Walking into the kitchen at 5am only to step in room temperature cat barf is worse.

dangblingus ,

It was due to the Celebrity Chef "everyone has to be a professional chef" era that we're coming out of. People didn't want to change their eating habits, but they wanted to feel fancy like rich British food man on TV, so they started demanding gourmet experiences from restaurants that had no business attempting to offer gourmet experiences. Everybody fancied themselves a foodie without actually trying to go out to nice places.

dangblingus ,

Unless they change the metrics by which they price their menu items. If the price is lowered, and surge pricing makes a 12 noon burger $0.50 more than usual, but an off-peak burger costs less than the OG price (but enough to still turn a profit), then Wendy's might actually see more money if they can undercut other FF joints.

dangblingus ,

Even so, consumer electricity habits make up a fraction of the carbon emissions on Earth. People driving cars, people buying plastic bullshit, or factory farming creates more emissions singularly.

Where's the Department of Labor? OSHA? Sounds like a workplace investigation needs to occur.

Maker uses Raspberry Pi and AI to block noisy neighbor's music by hacking nearby Bluetooth speakers::Roni Bandini is using a Raspberry Pi to power his AI-driven assault against his neighbor's regular 9am reggaeton music.

Beyond petty.

If it doesn't solve a problem, it's over engineered nonsense.

dangblingus ,

People who don't think about things before they buy.

dangblingus ,

The last 2 Lenovo laptops I purchased both caught fire and died same day I purchased them. That officially scared me away forever as a Lenovo customer.

dangblingus ,

People from Alberta larping that they're Americans.

dangblingus ,

This question is being posed to centrists and conservatives, right?
