Session disables forward secrecy for no reason.

Personally, I assume it’s a honeypot.

If you only ever use services that let you sign up with arbitrary addresses, then sure, you gain resilience against mail provider shenanigans at the expense of exposing a non-agile identifier — the domain name you bought — to any third party you provide with an address.

However, in a confused attempt to stamp out single-use mail services, some sites are rejecting mail addresses that don’t originate from one of the big mail providers, like Gmail, iCloud, Outlook. ‘Please provide your real mail address’, they’d say.

If you aren’t using any such service, you can use your own domain. Be wary of services that bounce messages to your “actual” inbox without rewriting the involved addresses (Cloudflare offers something like this, I don’t get why though), as that can lead to deliverability issues due to DMARC.

The IAB publishes some Gmail-specific guidance on how to ‘normalize’ plus-addresses to ‘real’ inboxes, so that’s something that doesn’t really do anything for you anymore. Out of the large mail services, iCloud is somewhat notable for offering single-use addresses under the same @icloud.com domain name they use for standard addresses, without having to register extra accounts or other annoying requirements. So websites that want to lock out single-use iCloud addresses would have to block iCloud addresses entirely, which is something they’ll most probably refrain from doing.

The Switch catalog was limited in no small part because the device just couldn’t give acceptable performance for a lot of contemporary cross-platform games. That, of course, didn’t matter for first-party titles.

Switch 2 performance is projected to end up somewhere around a base PS4, with better GPU but somewhat diminished CPU. However, it’s going to have more memory than the Xbox Series S that teams had trouble porting their games to.

The Switch 2 might benefit a lot from this generation’s extended cross-gen period. Add that to franchises like Fire Emblem, Metroid, Mario, Mario Kart, Pikmin and Zelda, and the average consumer is going to think of Steam as the “limited” platform.

A lot of conjecture, and maybe Switch 2 will turn out to be a monumental flop. I’m cautiously optimistic.

By the way, the old, selective policy that Nintendo exercised is pretty much a thing of the past. Just browse through the eShop for three minutes.

Nintendo has moved over 140 million Switch consoles. The Switch 2 might become more, or less successful, but let’s just conservatively assume they’ll only sell half as many this time around.

Last time I checked, the entire Deck-like category amounted to some seven-digit number of sold devices. The idea that anyone targeting that level of performance is going to skip the Switch 2… is wildly unrealistic.

IIUC the end goal, for any fusion reactor, is to heat up water and drive a steam turbine.

Imagine you could drive a steam turbine at zero cost. What happens if just keeping that turbine running costs more in upkeep than e.g. solar panels do overall?

Is there really much of an economic case for infinite energy on demand (and that is if fusion can be made to work in not just the base load case) if we have infinite energy at home already?

Auf der einen Seite: “hm, vielleicht werden dann Teslas in den nächsten Monaten günstiger, wenn sie nicht mehr gekauft, oder sogar aktiv abgestoßen werden”.

Auf der anderen Seite wäre es interessant, wenn dann irgendwelche Regierungsorgane und/oder Staatsanwälte darauf hinarbeiten, dass die Firma eines Nazi-Sympathisanten in Deutschland nicht mehr geschäftsfähig ist.

You know, anyone making negative comments… The bees go get 'em.

The break between first and second semester is six weeks long on the outside, so she could shed around 6% of her weight safely (or more, in a more unhealthy manner). That would certainly make a difference, but not one that someone would notice right away.

I think… 5 nm doesn’t make a lot of sense here, unfortunately. NVIDIA GPUs have never been on TSMC N5, and I don’t think they’ve used any Samsung process newer than 8 nm.

I’d like to imagine their pineapple pizza was the absolute best there is on planet Earth, but in spite of (or maybe because of) that they just fucking hate making it.

Basically, the Ronnie O’Sullivan of pie shops.

Two necessary components for friendship are extended presence and shared struggle.

That is, you need to be around the same set of people for a non-trivial amount of time. Relationships need time to form.

But that is not enough. Just being around people doesn’t tell you much about them, or tells them much about you. There’s no basis to bond over. You need to experience the same hardship as someone else.

In 1v1 games, that’s surely harder but not impossible, if you’re e.g. struggling to improve yourself, or trying to succeed in spite of the game being a bit shitty. Try thinking of a shared objective. Only ever wanting to defeat others is ultimately alienating.

Close one of your eyes. What you see through that closed eye is “nothing” since it’s not just blackness, but something entirely nonexistent.

When Squadron 42 finally comes out, it’ll just be considered commentary on contemporary issues. Basically like Job Simulator… in space

Wenn das mit Ki (etwas unglücklicher Name bei dem Weg) kabellos zu betreibende Gerät sowieso in Sekundärfunktion deine Speisen erwärmen soll, ist der “Reibungsverlust” im Endeffekt ja gar nicht verloren… Die Effizienz beträgt dann praktisch 100 Prozent!!1

When the generation parameters take up more space than the image itself…!

Well, screen space at least.

No one, since I am simply too delusional to believe “it could never happen”. Put another way, I see myself as a “temporarily embarrassed ladykiller”.

According to my mom, the calcium off her teeth.

“My dentition was so great, but then you came.”

I’d argue this counts as dog-sitting. The dog is around people in every panel, and actual sitting (i.e. doing nothing else) isn’t required.
