Every one of the last 25 years has been the year of Linux, the Steam Deck is definitely moving the needle but not enough to actually overtake anything, at least at the moment.

Yeah where is this insane math people are getting coming from? He is a first time offender facing a paperwork E Felony, incarceration will never happen for this defendant baring something egregious. Of the sentencing options available there are about four with no jail time compared to one option for City jail time (County/Riker’s Island/“Definite”) and one for State prison time (Indeterminate). This is the rare case of the coverup was worse than the crime, his failure to “cover-up” adequately maybe be his savior. In no event do I forecast an actual jail sentence baring some bombshell revelations.

There has been numerous attempts over the years by unknown actors to essentially crack TOR by controlling nodes. There have been a few theories about who, but it has been a sustained effort over a period of years that has at times controlled up to an entire quarter of the Tor network, leading many to believe state actors and/or law enforcement are behind these man-in-the-middle attacks.

I don’t know why you have downvotes, are people that upset by truth? MediaBiasFactCheck - The Intercept

While I love this list, it is more applicable to the turn of the century than a a decade ago. I was half expecting to see “ram no longer has to be installed in pairs” on the list.

ETA: Talking about EDO memory not dual channel

Are you familiar with ZRAM ? I do not understand your certainty that I am incorrect.

I think the videomaker may be failing to account for swap space. The latest Fedora releases use zram (swap that lives in memory instead of hard disk) by default, while the rest do not. Windows in particular does not take 72G and tends to be aggressive in swap allocation. The fact that he presents this data as “free space available” adds confusions while seemingly burying the simplest answer.

It would presumably be the same it was essentially just a connection to the ISP so it is the same kinds of attack vectors browsing the wider web (arguably less since you presumably could call from random numbers and/or change ip address easily). The only one big thing I could think or is that since plain old telephone lines (POTS) were often directly interconnected (party lines/multiple phones to one line), someone could more easily pickup/tap the line to eavesdrop compared to broadband. USB modems do exist I believe 56k is the fastest you can find (iirc there was some FCC regulation limiting to 53k to prevent telco issues going faster, I believe 56-64k was the technical limit), but if you have a 2G phone that supports Circuit Switch Data you can use that and try out the magic of WML cards (specially formated html pages to run on phones) making up a WML deck / WAP site (mobile version of the site). There is a list of WAP sites here that may still work http://pubquizhelp.com/mobile/bestwap.html

They are still around, they definitely aren’t as popular they were around the turn of century full list here, including one in Canada (SK) and one in Mexico (Yucatan)

Plan B and other emergency contraceptives with similar drug makeup are less effective for women who weigh over 165 pounds. Ella (a newer EC, I have not seen it as widely sold) becomes less effective after 195 pounds. The average American woman over 20 weighs 170 pounds. Source on EC Source on weight

That brings about two problems for me. How about phones with locked bootloaders? And the reverse of that, is how do you keep phones with unlocked bootloaders from getting poison-pilled into the supply chain? IE from someone buying a pallet of phones flashing malware infected firmware and just returning it back to the warehouse for the populace at large to use. And some stuff you just can’t degoogle, at least not without a bunch of patching or just straight breaking functionality like what happens in trying to switch to say GrapheneOS (One of the best supported Alt Android distros I have seen) where notifications for most apps don’t work unless you patch back in a lite version of google apps or patch the app to use different protocols, and many apps expecting a “secure” (Google filled) environment will just not run again without patching.

I would argue you that a big difference would be protest. A permanent placard describing bad business practices or hell a brick through a window if you can’t be bothered. A replacement commercial window could cost a thousand dollars and interrupt revenue generating systems, a decent sized event to attract attention. Here its another lemmy/social media post that eBay treats buyers and sellers horribly because scam buyers and sellers are good enough to game them, the alternative being a botnet to take down eBay long enough to hurt their profits? Sounds like the people at eBay gonna keep doing what the’ve been doing, hell maybe send you boxes of insects or a dissection pig to your place if you make too much noise. A regular store could do the same, but they would also know they have a store just as vulnerable if not more because you could stop their ability to generate revenue.

I’m sure OP was joking but disability checks in USA is a very individualized experience but usually sucks (depending on what categories you may fall under and what funding streams are open). Generally you can not have more than $2,000 total in cash and/or assets (many barely running cars are worth that or more). You usually can work but get often are cut-off completely after making between $1,000-1,500 a month. The actual checks are usually less than a thousand a month barring special needs. Just an overview for anyone unaware of what it is like, obviously in a high cost of living area barring other subsidies (ie housing vouchers) you would have to min/max all costs/income/assets to avoid being perpetually destitute.

Elementary, my dear Watson A lemon tree, Watson

Yeah I hated how it was just glossed over that she basically moved her girlfriend into their house for SIX MONTHS! This is definitely a story where every participant seems to suck, literally everyone is taking the worst choices.

It is the National Guard, there are probably way more people there for GI Bill benefits than some political ideology.

Sounds like the Internet Protocol I grew up with 😍

Yes, I don’t know all the solutions but one would be using iptables in linux and mangling the packets to adjust ttl, “normal” ttl can vary by carrier though, and with many phones there is an extra hop to account for as the phone is a router. You should be able to tell from a ping or trace route whats “normal”, but nowadays with carrier grade nat, I think it gets messed up sometimes.
