Coincidentally I no longer support windows machines in my home.

Then sell it on ebay. Used dvd box sets still go for ~80% of new.

Yeah that’s if you were to try to bruteforce the entire keyspace one key at a time. Nah. You’d look for sidechannel attacks which could reduce the keyspace by many orders of magnitude before starting.

Since when is UEFI old? Wtf

Nah - the english language is just full of ambiguities that people tend to understand through context or intonations from speaking that are lost in text

… what?

Yeah like basic communication and the general concept of democracy.

No, not really. I just take an opt-in to js approach to the internet. It won’t perfectly hide me from databroker fingerprinting - but that’s hard to do unless you want to just use TOR for your everyday browser experience and that’s too paranoid for me.

I’ve been using ublock origin for the longest time. Set it up in advanced mode and block all 3rd party domains by default. I know it can block individual line items during the js interpretation stage based on matches to plugins like anti-malware scripts. I tend to whitelist some domains I trust on all domains and I’ll even blacklist some domains I don’t ever trust on other domains (like facebook and anything with px in the name).

Ultimately - the more protection you put in place, the more likely you will stand out to fingerprinting. They don’t give a shit about user agent descriptions. They look at things like how does your browser render a semi-transparent pixel when aliased ontop of something else. What HTML5 Canvas features does your browser support. Attempt to run this list of scripts and see which ones fail. All of that helps make a non-unique print of your browser that hints at an identity even without your Windows Device ID.

It’s even better because you can pop in whatever fat you want. If you toss the salt in there while popping then it’ll evenly distribute across your popcorn as well.

Is there an east coast equivalent to the Goonies?

Bummed about the lack of vomiting statue of liberty. I feel like I’d get some solid use of that in these times.

Some FOSS projects are supported by having a for-profit company offer turnkey packaging and support for those projects. Look at TrueNAS. They sell nice NAS hardware preconfigured with their software and the profits support the development.

First one for when you havent showered for a day or so

Yeah a lot of them really make you think they phoned it in.

Like this one really should’ve been a phone handset puking out of the speaker.

Pretty sure they’re all handmade and approved by someone at google.

It’s not ai generated… yet. Right now these are made and approved by google. That’s why you don’t see the eggplant, peach or gun.

I completely stopped paying for Netflix when they split into tiers of ads and no-ads. I wish more people had the discipline to say “No.” and just go without. Or that they would just pirate from Netflix and others.

Lmao I’m in the middle of showing my teenager how to pirate and why it is morally justifiable to not pay for Marvel movies.
