Well, who did you trust to build your hardware?

Lenovo definitely deserves to be banned after that shit they pulled with the malicious root certificates.

That same description applies to downloading a zipped file.

Reminds me of the time I did roughly the same thing trying to get people to move away from internet explorer.

Education has really failed to impress upon people the importance of asking questions. It’s amazing how much time is wasted on making people learn answers to questions they don’t even know how to ask.

Please tell me someone thought about a switch to take them offline.

For some reason I read ‘zombies’, was wondering what on earth you were planning.

Possibly, but as long as they are not completely server-side (which they can’t be, they want to target people) then they are fighting on hostile ground.

Of course there are attempts to lock down PCs so that ad companies can tell it what to do (probably with some DRM argument), but we’re not there yet.

Well the upside is that they’re not actually trying to get it to stop, they’re just making an effort to please their customers.

That doesn’t sound like much of a change from the situation right now.

You also shouldn’t ask how it manages to light only half of an otherwise flat earth I suppose.

Best explanation I saw involved light curving. At which point you’re just working with a spherical earth in a weird coordinate system.

Use TOTP wherever possible. It’s standardized, and typically can be found somewhere if you keep digging hard enough.

Plenty of services push their own proprietary systems hard though. Looking at you M$

I am, no worries.

Using reverse proxies is common enough now that quite a few apps can deal with subpaths, and for the ones that can’t you can generally get nginx to rewrite the paths for you to make things work.

In a way AI refusing to recommend using so much computing power on LLMs could well be the first sign of actual intelligence.
