I just set up new PC for my grandparents that I imaged myself using the latest windows 11 iso from MS. It wouldn’t let me bypass the account require when I was offline. It just stalled at the “no network” screen and wouldn’t continue unless I connected the PC to a network.
I had to use the OOBE/BYPASSNRO or whatever the command was
If you self-host all the same services you have the same exposure level if root on your hosting machine is compromised. I suppose it depends on how confident you feel in how agile you can patch if a vulnerability becomes known in postfix for example. I wouldn’t consider self hosting something that reduces your cybersecurity risk typically
They decided that they probably weren’t going to get as much money asking people to buy their games a 4th time off of the virtual console so the switch requires a monthly sub to access legacy titles
Who would be paying for an investigation if not LMG? Firms don’t hire auditors/investigators to give them a rosy report. They want the truth so they can adjust their processes so they don’t spend more money on regulatory actions/fines.
If the report is bad they just don’t release it to the public. But a third party audit lying to a firm to make them look good does not provide value. The company isn’t biased just because they are being paid by LMG, that’s just not how it works. LMG could just say they investigated themselves and found no wrong doing if that was their objective.
Saying that you don’t believe the report because the company investigating it was paid for by PMG shows that you are biased more than they are.
There are a lot of people on Reddit and Reddit makes it easy to organize by whatever degenerate interests someone may have, such as sharing their goon cave
Paying with credentials that can’t easily be spoofed means a meteoric amount of money saved for payment processors from fraud due to insecure payment methods
With all the launchers, DRM clients, malware anti cheats, early access scams and what not. I think on the whole that PC gaming has gotten worse compared to 20 years ago. You can still get good experiences but it won’t be AAA. Also gaming sucks in general these days, not just PC gaming
I saw someone suggest they connect their switch dock directly to the internet elsewhere on Lemmy. Granted the attack surface for a switch is basically non existent but if people are suggesting that then certainly people are still connecting their other machines directly to their modems/CPEs as well
A DNS ad filter on your home network to black hole the requests to ad servers is the only thing I’ve found to be effective on iOS. I tried the ad guard extension in safari but there were just way too many ads that didn’t get blocked
We don’t need infinite population growth to support the economy but eventually we are going to hit a point where we have to support more retired people than workers. At that point the economy will slow down as there is less demand because people will lose their jobs because of the less demand. People will also be spending more of their time and incomes taking care of their older relatives.
Our current Ponzi scheme, robbing Peter to pay Paul, method of funding social security will break down at that point and we will have to decide whether we send mom and dad and grandpa and grandma to the poor house, increase taxes on the workers who still have their jobs, or redistribute wealth from the 1%.
People won’t vote for the first 2, so we might actually get socialism at that point but it will hurt a lot on the way there.
NO, I’m also not from this instance for similar reasons
