A gentle reminder: I only post here, as little as I can, in an attempt to potentially reach people who I think have lost their way, especially given the state of current events. I don't enjoy putting on the hazmat suit.
I Fight For The Users: a post in support of migrating away from Twitter and generating funds for The Trevor Project. Please bid as you see fit for a good cause! infosec.exchange/@codinghorr… -- this will be my last post on Twitter 👋
Sneak preview. I'll be auctioning 10 of these (really, REALLY heavy) brass plaques on eBay soon to celebrate the Twitter diaspora. All profits to the charity that annoys Elon Musk the most.
The Apple TV is so bonkers fast (the A15!) it’s not worth using any other TV connected devices. That A15 would score ~300 on this S95B benchmark, so the native TV apps are “only” TEN TIMES SLOWER apple.com/newsroom/2022/10/a…
"You want loot? Incredible gunplay? Intense gameplay? Chronic depression? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Tarkov is the game for you." piped.video/watch?v=av2InTaH…
A Raptor Canyon Xmas. It is difficult to be a SFF enthusiast in this era of ginormous video cards… this 3 slot card just BARELY fits. 4080 is out of the question (except founders edition)
Get yourself or someone you love a Steam Deck this season! It’s amazing hardware for the price, basically a handheld PS4 pro. I bought an “invisible” sticker wrap for one of mine to differentiate it.
It’s been 6 months from date of order and our home solar system is now *finally* fully functional. 😎 Good news is lots of solar systems are being installed, the bad news is you better get your order in ASAP!
I don't mean to be salty, but this is the most crashes I've experienced during major AAA gameplay in recent memory. Even after several patches and video driver updates.. I'm sending in crash report after crash report, so at least the crash reporting is working? 🤔
aaaannd finally complete 🎉 .. big delay on getting the batteries in. Ironically we had a super localized 88 household power outage Monday evening that affected us but *just* missed the install date for real world testing
It's interesting to listen to long stretches of conversational British English and appreciate just how different it is from American English; not only the obvious accent, but phrasing, emphasis, order..
or simply refer to this handy chart 🤭
Here's the ZTE Blade L9 2021, an Android phone which can be had for the princely sum of $53.97. What can I say about this phone except that it.. works? If you're patient?
What terrifying truth shall be revealed unto us when I press the terrifying "Show additional replies, including those that may contain offensive content" button?! 😱
For example, why did I buy this for full price when it came out? I've played it all of 2 hours with my kids.. I need to get back to the game eventually, but my point is, intentionally timeshift your entertainment by even a mere year and you can save *so* much $!
These fair use clips (very brief sections of copyrighted work, used to illustrate something else) are pulled, and I *cannot* find anywhere to view it after an hour of search, so.. I literally bought the DVD and encoded it myself, let's try this: dailymotion.com/video/k6J3bT…
I will quiet down about this topic now, but the secret (and insanely difficult) warzone quest they put in the game is really, really cool. That is all! piped.video/watch?v=LVk23GF0…
For those of you on Windows laptops who want the TL;DR, it is this. Typical modern web. You can watch an 11 minute influencer video (SMASH THAT BELL TO SUBSCRIBE!) to get the answer, or spend 60 seconds reading a webpage to get the very same answer. 🙄
Does anyone know what this “Get the answer you’re looking for added to the web” thing actually *does*? Like who does it share with and how do they answer? 🤔
To be fair they did ask "how satisfied are you with these 23andme polls" this time; I said "very dissatisfied" and pointed them to these tweets. They proceed to ask the following 👇
Urgh. Crashes are happening way too often in Modern Warfare 2, and you lose all your mission items when it happens. This is after multiple video card driver and game driver updates. I wish they'd at least comp you with some mission stuff since they *know* the game crashed!
It is literally *cloudy and raining* today and this little solar device is somehow still drawing enough power to work. How?!?! Solar Twitter help me understand why this one is so efficient!
as you noted, was already running on Windows. Using Speedometer 2.1, Chrome is "only" 1.4x faster versus 1.5x faster under 2.0. So that is some minor good news for FF users! I'll include some more exciting obviously Windows screenshots for you 🤣
