I did the same shit as a teenager, big fucking whoop. How about we focus on the Nazi part of this asshole.

Same here! We had it on a Macintosh LC 575. I will never forget those sound effects haha.

The hypocrisy is that if an average person did something like this (such as, IDK, Aaron Schwartz) they would have already been swiftly prosecuted and made out to be an example of “look what will happen to you”.

It’s just the two-tiered justice system being what it is, again.

For me it depends which bike I’m riding. If it’s my 49cc scooter, I’ll sit to the very right side of the lane for a quick escape while watching my mirrors like a hawk. On my XR500, I’ll just filter to the front (legal in Utah).

Good to know, I’ll stay away from those damn things when I ride.

“CRUD”, “Sham” coin, and yesterday’s date…

🤨

It’s the hypocrisy, not the law

Oh I love this stuff.

My dishwasher pulls over 1000W, but overall actual usage pales in comparison to my server cluster, which utilizes a multiple 35W mini PCs.

I started measuring a bunch of things in February (using zigbee-compatible smart plugs to HA), so here is a graph of the above for the entire month of March:

It was eye opening, to say the least.

People complaining about this video have clearly not watched much Technology Connections; I enjoyed it immensely. It’s right in line with how Alec normally does his videos. We who are loyal to the Great Alec expect the pedantic content.

I swear to fuck, you guys take a single thing and just run the absolute shit out of it.

Proton is run by the Proton Foundation. Andy Yen is only one of FIVE members of that board (including the literal father of the internet, Tim Berners-Lee, who is a well-known proponent of internet privacy and who’s voice likely holds a lot more weight than Andy). Andy fucked up by using the official Proton account to post a personal opinion about ONE person that was NOT trump. He overexplained it later on trying (and failing horribly) to do damage control, after which the rest of the board likely told him to just shut the fuck up.

THAT’S ALL THAT HAPPENED. Proton itself is a perfectly fine service.

My work laptop has W11. It’s…fine. But I don’t have to manage it, so… ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

I had W11 on my personal gaming PC for a total of 6 months before I got fed up with it. Running W10 until I make sure it’ll run everything I need it to on Linux Mint (LMDE).

I mean, yes, but…what the fuck 😂

That’s what W10 LTSC is for.

It’s used for industrial applications like manufacturing and whatnot, stuff that really doesn’t need to be updated regularly since the software is effectively legacy.

Hell, we’ve got tools from the 2000s still running Win2k.

from smaller tech companies

Like what?

There is absolutely no reason why programming software for a universal remote should require a connection to a remote server to function. Program the codes you need, make some macros, and you’re done. No server needed. Codes can be easily obtained from other resources that don’t require 24/7 network access.

Their mice are great, until they need a subscription, for some reason…

And none of that relates to the VPN which, under Swiss law, is not obligated to retain any logs whatsoever.

The business found itself in hot water in 2024 after complying with a legal request to hand over the recovery email address for a Proton Mail account.

Yep, that’s how the law works in Switzerland. It’s dumb, but every company based in Switzerland operates this way. Also, if you bothered to look into it, per Swiss law, VPN services are not required to retain any logs.

That, and if you were truly privacy focused, you wouldn’t have a recovery email on your Proton account in the first place.
