Any given second he could go mad postal

Honestly wouldn’t even be that difficult to build. Windows is just a GUI for Powershell anyway.

Is there a simple way to find out if your Information was in this leak, and what information it is? I use haveibeenpwned for leaks linked to my email address, but from I read in this article, it’s not linked to my email address.

So how do I found out if my data was leaked without paying for a credit monitoring service?

And if I understand correctly, they are safer because there is less chance of parts touching inside. I don’t know the correct t terminology, but one of the big problems with current li-ion batteries is that if they get physically damaged, parts inside can touch, which basically starts a short/chain reaction that turns into a dangerous thermal runaway.

Also if I remember correctly the guy that invented li-ion invented some kind of solid state battery with glass right before he died. I’m assuming this technology stems from that.

Please correct me if I’m wrong on any of this. Knowledge is power.

Also in the context of working, this isn’t just computers. It’s tools in general, and a computer is a type of tool. Problems with your saw? Problems with your batteries? Problems with access to electricity and your extension cords not being long enough? Problem with losing your 10mm sockets? If you’re a trucker or driver the problem could be your vehicle. Etc etc etc.

This article is stupid. Tools break, they always have and always will. The tools we have now are better than they have ever been. They will probably keep getting more and more efficient, but they will still break. Because tools break.

Yup. I can say for sure that SSDs were certainly a game changer, but now we have systems with like 10x the processing power that operate at the same speeds because the power has been spent on poorly optimized code and bloatware.

Sigh… I’m going to have to start fucking around with Linux, aren’t I?

The worst part is that Windows can do that, but Microsoft insists on enshittifying it. Like Windows 11 isn’t that terrible if it wasn’t for all of the data collection and advertisements and other shit.

I miss the Windows 7 days where you could download a stripped down ISO that was just the OS. It launched your programs of choice and didn’t suck up your battery running unnecessary junk.

Ahh yes. Reminds me of my teenage years. Experimenting with Marijuana, pirated MP3s, and the Milkdrop visualization plugin for Winamp. Those were good times… Real good times.

It is however acceptable at the supermarket when a product says “Made with 100% white meat chicken”

I am saying this with all seriousness. Have you had your eyes checked recently?

A friend of mine was complaining about the print quality of some text on a can and I was like “hah what? Lemme see” and it was perfectly clear (just like the bear emoji or any other emoji for that matter).

You may need glasses.

“Nikola Tesla was the electric Jesus”

The call of the void. Super common and pretty interesting.

Cool, thanks for the info. This is something I have wanted to setup for a little while now, I just didn’t understand all of the nuances.

I can wrap my head around the secret being stored in your device, but what happens when you go to a different device?

Let’s say for example, I am at my friend’s house, and for one reason or another, I don’t have my phone. My Gmail account is passkey locked, but I need to check my email from my friend’s laptop. Would that require that I install passkey on their laptop, and log in to my passkey account? Does that also mean that if I forget to log out of passkey, they can access all of my accounts correlated with my passkey account? If that’s the case, what happens if my passkey account is compromised? All of my accounts are linked to a single point of failure?

A friend of mine had to break out some kind of USB dongle to log into his Google account on a new machine the other day. Is that a form of passkey? What happens if that dongle gets lost/stolen/broken? Or what if you just forgot it at home? Are you SOL?

I am all for more security and less password remembering, but I hop around a lot of computers.

Short sleeve graphic tee over a long sleeve white tee, Jnco jeans, a big ass wallet chain, and some wrap around the back Sony headphones for the diskman in my Jean pockets. I was preeeeety cool.

I think you can install all the normal streaming apps on Kodi as well. It definitely takes more know-how than using something like a Roku or smart TV, but FOSS be like that sometimes.

Raspberry Pi and Kodi?

I don’t do electrical work. I’m usually taking the outlet covers off for painting walls. And I like to paint with the lights on.

Yup, I’ve noticed that spanner screws (the two dots) are usually found on elevator control panels. There is no reason that somebody should be able to open those up with a Swiss army knife.
