European here, stopped seeing them at the end of 90s, before they were so common, even in city

elon musk should make autonomous weapons. Don't need to test, move fast and break things, will work fine:

eh, can see how those are working great for the powerful people (examples: putin, bibi, the libya guy)

Screenshot is from Windows where dotfiles aren't hidden by default. And all the lazy developers that created those directories, didn't bother to set the hidden attribute (See appdata is greyed, because it has the hidden attribute set)

Why a real person would star a project? When I star a project then my GitHub home is littered with activity from that project. I hate that, so I never star anything

I also did the same as you but because they discontinued the official syncthing app on Android I skipped the "sync to PC first step. Now I directly go to Borg from phone night time only when charging, the automate app is able to invoke termux and run the backup script

Many times it happened the syncthing app crashed in background and I didn't notice before after several days, now if the Borg repository server (borgwarehouse, it's a must have) doesn't see activity after some user specified time sends me a warning email

It's also incredibly useful to backup /sdcard via rsync or Borg every night automatically

Or access the contents of your phone via SFTP

Especially when there's a chance that the bios update resets the tpm and if the user has enabled bitlocker (automatically done in background without user consent on windows 11 if using a Microsoft account) then they need to type the decryption key to boot again.

Happened twice on my laptop

The manager who approved this need to be fired. Programs need to ask permission to the user before installing, especially when they're not device drivers.

This is literal malware and there's also a chance that it might be exploited (example: a mitm Attack exchanges the file that armory crate is downloading)

This kind of Easter egg is not funny at all, developers must avoid undocumented time bombs. I still remember that day 15 years ago when I turned on my Wii and it said that the system files were corrupted. After hours of reverting a full nand backup via bootmii (and losing 2 years of game saves) it turned out that it was a funny April's fool by crediar, which put a fake system corruption message when you run his program on April 1st. Problem is that his program was a loader for the system menu so it was unavoidable if you didn't know that.

Like me, there must be someone paranoid that saw that black bar on the screen, saw a weird Christmas.exe running on their system, and starting wiping or restoring old images to "clean" that.

Aren't Nissan and Mitsubishi almost part of Renault?

The Mitsubishi Colt is now a rebadged Renault Clio and the Mitsubishi ASX is a Renault Captur

Most keyboard shortcuts are illogical (=differ too much from Linux/Windows) and too often require 3+ keys

Of course if you're used to "Ctrl+shift+command+3" to do a screenshot instead of just pressing the dedicated button on the keyboard and feel it natural, this doesn't apply to you

You can even pay to subscribe to the richest asshole in the world, too and there's a shockingly high numbers of idiots that did so

It's owned by PayPal, couldn't expect otherwise

When Microsoft forced the grouped windows in windows 11 I was crazy. Luckily some hobbyists in their spare time fixed what the multibillion corporation with hundreds of thousands of engineers was unable to do in over two years (explorerpatcher)

Well for me it's the opposite. I set once my settings with the domain group policy a decade ago and in every single windows PC that I own I have the perfect settings from the out of the box experience as soon as the first login

And no need to set 30 key remaps with karabiner

I used whisper to create subs of a video and in a section with instrumental relaxing music it filled on repeat with

La scuola del Dr. Paret è una tecnologia di ipnosi non verbale che si utilizza per risultati di un'ipnosi non verbale

Clearly stolen from this Dr paret YouTube channels where he's selling hypnosis lessons in Italian. Probably in one or multiple videos he had subs stating this over the same relaxing instrumental music that I used and the model assumed the sound corresponded to that text

For me an os needs to do basic stuff by default, not by adding a billion 3rd party apps that inevitably break the next os update because they were using undocumented apis

Clipboard history, window snapping, showing a separate icon for every instance of a window (same app in 3 windows makes 3 icons on the taskbar), preview what that window is by hovering that.

Sure, you can do that with (mostly paid) third party apps, but I don't like wasting 3 days on setting an operating system in an usable state

Same for me. I can't stand the weird keyboard combinations and I totally hate that I need to watch a 1 second eyecandy animation when I put a window in full screen.

Copium needs to justify spending $800 for 2tb of SSD or $400 for 8 GB of ram like if we still were in the early 2010s
