This attitude is terrifying to people who handle national security information. Just because you might have authority to declassify something doesn't mean you should. It's reckless and irresponsible to expose sources and methods unnecessarily - not to mention the information itself. There's a reason that declassified documents still have a lot of redactions.

This type of stuff is usually in a very controlled environment with significant physical security - not a bathroom.

Yeah I usually watch YouTube on my shield and it clutters up every channel with junk I have no desire to watch.

I'm a proponent of EVs and I'm looking forward to getting one at some point but "most" EVs don't hold a charge for over 400 miles. Many are offered with a high range option that almost meets this mark, but that's also under ideal conditions. I have several coworkers with EVs and we talk a lot about the range effects in the winter, or in hilly areas, etc.

Also you'd have to be crazy to plan out a trip that depletes your battery all the way, so that wouldn't be for a 400 mile trip.

One thing that's turning me off from EVs (currently) is the constant battling over charging standards. This creates more uncertainty than I'd like.

If I had to share this information with anyone it would definitely be this guy. "seems legit"

This is how it should be. A tool to help people be more productive and effective at their jobs.

Freedom fries.

Maybe some point and click adventure games? Those tend to have great stories. The Longest Journey, Syberia, stuff like that.

The Longest Journey / Dreamfall / Dreamfall Chapters. Absolutely magical games.

I truly wish for more memes of this nature

The 4090 is an absolute monster. Overclock a bit and you'll need a logarithmic scale just to keep the 4080 on the chart.

The one folder where this is really painful is the WindowsApps for Windows store stuff. I had one situation where I reinstalled Windows and I had a couple of hundred gigs of games in a WindowsApps folder. The new install wouldn't use the folder, so it became wasted space. The new install also wouldn't let me delete / reclaim the directory no matter how much dicking around with permissions I did. I think I had to kill it from either Linux or a USB Windows installer command prompt.

You and me both brother. You should see the looks I get sipping coffee while mowing the lawn on a hot summer's day.

The automotive equivalent of that would be a lease rather than a purchase though, as I see it.

It is absolutely not better than Google play music in any way, shape, or form. It has improved a lot since launch though. I'm still bitter about that switchover.

I absolutely abhor when they say "gig speed network" like they want to say gigabit but they know it isn't and make up some bullshit term that sounds similar. Every time I hear a commercial for it I get irrationally angry.

I've found that the Steam Deck is great for playing AAA remotely. I have a high spec PC and use Steam remote play, or Chiaki for PS5 remote play. It's a bigger investment but it definitely keeps the Steam Deck more relevant even for titles that don't run natively.

Well at least it's not Comic Sans.

Okay thanks, I haven't tried Wayland on that machine (which has an Nvidia card) but I'll give it a go! Appreciate the help.

I've been messing with this on and off for a few years now and I still haven't seen support for multiple monitors running at different scaling levels (like running a 4K monitor at 125% alongside a 1080p monitor at 100%). This is a feature I use in Windows on one of my setups. I hope this gets some attention soon. I run Linux on most of my machines but this problem still gets in my way on others.

Yeah I seem to remember an NPR interview he did where they gave him "the packets" they captured of a malicious actor communicating with voting equipment and the files were Word documents that somebody typed a bunch of gibberish into and renamed the file extension.
