Just add another digit and watch the entire country break down because they can’t find someone to update their 40+ year old software written in COBOL.

It’s still faster than most lithium batteries can charge. They still have a long ways to go to reach the charge rate of super capacitors though.

Yeah, I’m not paying for pirated content.

Yes, Linux has autorun and some distros have it enabled by default.

It seems like they could be rendered ineffective by simply disabling auto run and forcing removable drives to mount noexec.

It’s been a long time since I pirated over sneakernet. I shared a lot of music with friends that way though. I had an mp3 player with a big hard drive and it had a USB host port, so you could plug in a flash drive and copy files.

I doubt that will be true anymore. 12 will probably have even more spyware and ads than 11.

Anyone with a NAS will immediately notice that they are on 2.4GHz because it will take several times longer to transfer files.

I use the free Adguard DNS server with the private DNS function on my phone. It works well enough for me. I don’t see any reason to get the paid version. Of course I have uBlock Origin, but the DNS ad blocking helps in apps other than my web browser.

I can’t stand the screeching of a dot matrix printer. The correct way to print the news is with a teletype.

I would imagine most people who aren’t using chrome are doing so for privacy reasons.

One of the less polished parts of the browser.

Probably because most people using Firefox disable browsing history.

Why not just make solar roofs over things like parking lots and sidewalks? That way it can provide cover and power, you can use off the shelf panels, and they are unlikely to get damaged.

SponsorBlock takes care of the sponsored segments in youtube videos. There are addons for blocking sponsored search results on amazon too.

You can do almost anything with a website that you could do with an app. The only reason they are pushing the apps so hard is because they can collect a lot more data than a website can.

Almost every Lemmy instance blocked threads.

Why would anyone even want to use uBlock Origin Lite on Firefox? It’s a stripped down version designed to work with the limitations of manifest V3 in chrome.

The Starlink probably only works once the drone enters Ukraine. Disabling Starlink in that area would cut off the Ukrainian military too. The internet traffic could easily be routed through a VPN in another country, so blocking Russian IP addresses on Starlink wouldn’t work either.

Can it track the culprit and return the deposits to their owner?

They are most likely stolen or imported through a third party.
