That money isn't subsidizing your flight cost, it's increasing corporate profits.

As usually, I've read out this here in the last couple of days and still no email communication from Ticketmaster.

Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

Tack "&udm=14" on to the end of a normal search, and you'll be booted into the clean 10 blue links interface. While Google might not let you set this as a default, if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.

wagoner ,

Google kills its golden goose search engine and is thought here up be too smart to disable a workaround... I'm doubtful.

I mean, what are you really asking? For her to do something? It's an announcement posting for a new position she has started, setting out who she is for people. So negative.

wagoner ,

Regretfully, tens of millions of users who don't fall into those categories

"former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, reality show host Kevin O’Leary, and now Frank McCourt"

What a cast of characters wanting to swoop in an buy this

If they can't direct me to the right web site because they can't tell what's LLM junk, then how will they summarize an answer for me based on those same web sites they know about? It doesn't seem like LLM summaries are a way to avoid that issue at all.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with musk planning his own encrypted Twitter DM feature.

The interviewer lost me at "while Elon does appear committed to openness and freedom of speech". Especially when they proceed later to talk about Elon taking down posts when asked by the Indian and Australian governments, locally to those territories and the world.

Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees (arstechnica.com)

After reversing its position on remote work, Dell is reportedly implementing new tracking techniques on May 13 to ensure its workers are following the company's return-to-office (RTO) policy, The Register reported today, citing anonymous sources....

Do the top executives also sit randomly with other colleagues?

wagoner ,

So basically: both sides are as bad as each other and anyway probably it's all bad anyway?

Even if true that both sides are heavily invested in oil, both sides are not objectively equal on decisions to expand vs limit oil exploration rights, and both sides are not the same in pushing for more electric and less gas, and in improving vs reversing fuel efficiency standards, etc etc

The Best Secure Email Providers in 2024 (blog.thenewoil.org)

Like it or not, email is a critical part of our digital lives. It’s how we sign up for accounts, get notifications, and communicate with a wide range of entities online. Critics of email rightfully point out that email suffers from a significant number of flaws that make it less than ideal, but that doesn’t change the...

Idk... my gut tells me... didn't people say... might be... I'm probably going to be down voted to hell... if something's too good to be true...

What a ridiculous response.

wagoner ,

I quoted the bits that answer your question and which completely undermine the bits I didn't quote.

wagoner ,

This is all kinda of weirdness. You were the one who asked me a question, and I responded to it. And now I'm done. Have a nice day.

wagoner ,

That photo was more than just some trees

wagoner ,

Rumors or wishful thinking, I wonder

wagoner ,

Lag?

wagoner ,

The deal was just announced, so I think it's unreasonable to expect shared storage on day one. It does seem a logical thing to do in time, though.

Health organism? You mean a human being?

I've used it for years. What's not robust?

wagoner ,

Interesting thoughts and methods, thanks for taking the time. I had interpreted "not robust" as meaning you thought it unreliable. I agree about folders, which is why I opted to pay the subscription

Replace the os with what?

How do you arrive at effective monopolies are going out the window, squaring it with what we see in the world today which runs counter.

I've been using sync.com for a couple of years now for my large music files storage and playback. Thinking of going all in on the unlimited plan to add on all my family files. Curious what your experience is with delayed syncing. Occasionally I find something just doesn't sync to the cloud and I have to play about with PC on/off, connect to Mobile hotspot, clear cache etc to get it to work. Makes me wonder if that's happening with files where I don't realize it until it's too late.

Basically, how robust is it for you?

wagoner ,

We created a WordPress (installed on our server) blog which requires logins we have to approve. We share this with family members, with an email notification to them when something new is posted. They can post comments to the site.

We really actually did this for ourselves, as a kind of family photo album/blog, and so would have it even if no one else was invited :-)

wagoner ,

This is brilliant. The government could put out a searchable database.

If you get the premium ultra plan you will always report as negative on a scan.

It's Not Safe to Click Links on X (lifehacker.com)

As noted by security researcher Will Dormann, some posts on X purport to lead to a legitimate website, but actually redirect somewhere else. In Dormann's example, an advertisement posted by a verified X user claims to lead to forbes.com. When Dormann clicks the link, however, it takes him to a different link to open a Telegram...

wagoner ,

I get the knee-jerk jaded cynicism but this is a little more nuanced than that.

"All they have to do is set up two different URL destinations in their post. In the case outlined above, clicking the forbes.com link actually takes you to joinchannelnow.net. Once on this site, the server checks to see whether the request is coming from a typical browser (that's you). If so, it'll take you to the spam site, which for this situation is a crypto scam Telegram channel. However, if the server detects the request is coming from something else—like a X link-verifying bot—it'll assume the request is not being made by a human; in these cases it returns a legitimate URL. So, even though the first link is to joinchannelnow, X checks it and is taken to forbes.com, and so it places that URL preview on the post. You're experience will be different."

Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed (mastodon.social)

For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

I followed the link to the mastodon post and saw this edit

"Edit: As mentioned below, it appears to be a bug, not intentional!"

On a new Windows 11 install, I uninstalled OneDrive straight away and it was a mess. I couldn't get rid of the nagging that it was unable to back up my files as my storage was full when in office documents. I had to reinstall OneDrive but disconnecting it per instructions still didn't fix it. The only thing that made that message go away was deleting files in online OneDrive.

wagoner ,

Opt out per the instructions!

I guess hp won't care but, while I have bought hp computers for years, this last time I went looking at other brands because of this printer nonsense.

wagoner ,

Ask Google to rename theirs.

Samsung has this option, called Battery Protect I think. There's also the Accubattery app which will set an alarm to go off once it reaches 80 pct. I'm with you though, unless the phone itself shuts off charging, it's too much to manage even with an alarm.

Thoughts on BOOX Tab Ultra C? (shop.boox.com)

Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I'm a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I've been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and...

wagoner , (edited )

What do you want to know? I don't use it for note taking, however, so can't speak for the pen. We use it as a family device. Kids play chess and watch chess animated videos on it. Also for web-based math homework. Have used it for reading color graphic novels on Libby. Also web browsing. I also have the b&w Poke 3 and we have a regular Kindle.

wagoner ,

I had an @operamail email account for years, I was all in!

wagoner ,

Your second point is basically agreeing that electric cars are better at starting in the cold, where all you're doing is explaining why. Maybe I missed what your second point of disagreement was.

wagoner ,

I'm all for Twitter bashing but there are factors like follower count differences than can account for what you experienced.

wagoner ,

Which means you can opt out of the AI features. Seems like a positive, so long as the device isn't otherwise downgraded.

A meme like this is what happens when you believe the GOP that doing anything to benefit regular people is communism.
