Gork,

This is a difficult question these days to answer. There are a few categories where I always stick to established brand names, these are typically electronics or anything electrical like portable battery packs or wall chargers. Poorly made items in those categories can start fires. And when it comes to silicon, there’s only a few to trust anyway since there are only a few major fabs out there.

I usually follow the site:reddit.com search method but I’ve had to further filter my criteria by only looking in enthusiast subreddits instead of the bigger ones like /r/AskReddit.

It gets difficult though for general goods that don’t really need well known brands and whose performance doesn’t matter as much but it’s hard to tell the quality online. Lawn chairs, pizza cutters, sushi kits, clothes hangers, rope, and shower curtain rods are good examples. These usually come down to luck of the draw.

Gork,

There are some days when all you feel like is a convex polyhedron with 12 congruent rhombic faces. Life is simpler when you’re a face-transitive isohedral entity.

Gork,

My dude here must have a swole neck.

Gork,

Ted Cruz is perfectly capable of performing the widely acceptable behavior of ingesting sustenance like a normal human entity.

Gork,

Suppose someone who isn’t a cop does this and uses a fake uniform? How could anyone be able to tell if the officer is legitimate? That alone should make police departments not want to endorse such practices.

Gork,

As you might imagine, all this snapshot recording comes at a hardware penalty. To use Recall, users will need to purchase one of the new “Copilot Plus PCs” powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite chips, which include the necessary neural processing unit (NPU). There are also minimum storage requirements for running Recall, with a minimum of 256GB of hard drive space and 50GB of available space. The default allocation for Recall on a 256GB device is 25GB, which can store approximately three months of snapshots. Users can adjust the allocation in their PC settings, with old snapshots being deleted once the allocated storage is full.

Oh no my computer doesn’t meet the hardware requirements whatever shall I do

Gork,

Don’t forget Puerto Ridwest, American Smidwest, and the Virgin Ismidwest.

what if the hacker provided the public key for https connection? (www.youtube.com)

So this video explains how https works. What I don’t get is what if a hacker in the middle pretended to be the server and provided me with the box and the public key. wouldn’t he be able to decrypt the message with his private key? I’m not a tech expert, but just curious and trying to learn.

Gork, (edited )

What if a hacker were to obtain the Master Key Certificate to the entire Internet? How much damage could be caused by that?

Gork,

She kills puppies. That should be enough to sink her as a political candidate.

Gork,

It’s all well and good until an absolutely new item confuses it entirely.

Gork,

Haven’t really assigned a name yet. I only just subscribed to it a few days ago to help me create cover letters to accompany my resume.

Gork,

Sky is my favorite voice. It’d be a shame if they took it away as her voice is by far the best one of the bunch. It sounds so natural and makes Siri, Cortana, and Alexa seem crude in comparison.

Gork,

Truly the finest words he has ever written. Hamlet cannot compare to the pain felt by losing an SSL cert.

Gork,

Beans are a Lemmy tradition around here. They are always welcome.

Gork,

Fixed-width Serif is the only way to go when doing any sort of coding.

However, Comic Sans is a surprisingly decent alternative if you want to use a Sans Serif typeface. The letters are easily distinguishable.

Gork,

Whoa that’s so cool to be able to capture it on a dashcam. I specifically bought a dashcam for my car so I could capture a meteorite on video after the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor. No meteorite capture yet though.

The insurance benefit was just a plus compared to my real motivation lol.
