Nice. Sounds like this might be an asset seizure in order to help pay for the court-ordered $1.5 billion he owes parents of Sandy Hook victims. https://www.newsweek.com/alex-jones-says-infowars-could-shut-down-within-hours-1907182

Heh. I took the plunge and customized a new PC at (they’re building it for me). This is how they list the PC case and Windows license.

Windows is a “symptom” and there is no security 😄

(Means I didn’t ask for any security software)

Thought of another place a might be useful: Locally scanning our email spam, phishing, etc.

Examples: Is the sender’s domain from the actual company, or a lie or spoof?

Is that ‘customer support’ number legit, or a scam center?

Does that supposed anti-virus company ACTUALLY need my social security number to clean my computer? 😄

Stuff like that. But scanned locally, not shared with brokers, maybe anonymously checked against an open source repository. I dunno.

Question for folks:

It turns out that players have been able to download the major expansion early. Again.

(it was scheduled for next week)

All they had to do was change the clock on their PlayStation to next week’s date, and Sony‘s servers gave them the expansion.

Does that sound like has anyone employed in system security? Cuz to this layperson it sure doesn’t.

just started making everyone's accounts

*and purchases public by default

Opt out, not in. Likely because they company is run by sociopaths.

You might want to shut this off in your profile. If you know anyone who works in management at DoorDash, consider tossing them into your nearest black hole.

@chartier Is that only in their app? I tried two different accounts via web page and don’t see that.

@ivory Is it possible to follow local timelines of other public servers? I can’t find it on iPhone.

@chartier It's on our roadmap.

Our cattle dog is such a smart little dork.

Of course he picked up on the act and sound of a laptop closing, and that could mean it’s playtime!

But he also now perks up at the sound of pressing the side button on my iPhone or iPad to mean the same thing. Doesn’t see it, only hears it, and that also could mean it’s go-time. 😄

Who decided that all (gaming) PCs will have their clear panel on the left side forever, with no option for the right side, basically forcing you to keep your PC to your right if you have monkey brain and like looking at RGB stuff?

What committee is responsible?

What gives you the right??

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE

@chartier one notable thing about Macs is that they do not use the ATX standard or its derivatives, so they actually tend to be on the other side. Which is why if you put a GPU in a 2012 Mac Pro, for example, it's upside down.

@ernie@writing.exchange avatar

@chartier so if you want a computer with RGB on the other side, get a Mac Pro and put some lighting in there

Thought of something I’d like in that I guess could probably provide: Sometimes I want to play specific types or styles of music from an artist or genre.

Example: I really like Polyphia’s instrumental tracks, but I’m usually not into the collabs they do with vocalists. I like all of AJR’s music, but sometimes I only want to hear their songs that lean electronic or use samples.

Hey Siri, play instrumental tracks by Polyphia.

Does that sound feasible?

TIL (and I’m sure others) will display different comments on a video based on who looks at it.

A woman here demonstrates how she sees completely different comments and sentiments about the video’s topic from what her boyfriend sees.

Never mind the dumpster fire of a human being that is , why on earth do people still buy anything from ?

We have years of evidence that the company is an absolute joke. Incompetence wrapped in hubris, thoroughly marinated with not just a lack of care, but unchecked disdain for its customers.

Like look at this garbage. Look at it. The warranty does not include “driving off-road.”

It doesn’t include driving on “uneven surfaces.”

UNEVEN SURFACES

Oh, or “exposure to sunlight.”

Interesting gadget idea: turn an Apple Watch into a ‘click-wheel phone’ #Apple #AppleWatch

TIL the original Mad Max film was not intended to shoot or be set in a post-apocalyptic world. It was a budget constraint that changed the story.

“Who was asking for the iPad Pro to get thinner?”

Setting aside the fact our tech has been getting smaller and thinner for decades so I don’t really understand this question, I think the larger benefit is weight.

As someone who has been using a 13” iPad Pro for ~ 80% of my daily work and play for years, every fraction of an ounce they can shed is welcome, especially since this device is designed to be held; it doesn’t just sit on a surface like a laptop.

@craiggrannell I used it handheld yesterday to read a quite long article. It isn’t a massive difference from my previous 12.9 M1, but it’s noticeable. Subtle, but welcome.

@craiggrannell@mastodon.social avatar

@chartier Good to know. I’m not expecting light as a feather (nor even iPad mini), but any saving is good.

I can’t get on board with the thinner iPhone thing though. That seems like a misstep – thinness for the sake of it.
