  • Why should I allow you to control my hardware when you can't protect yourself

    Correction, they can protect themselves, but they chose not to devote the time, money and effort it would take to make sure they're secure. They just slap it together asap, say good enough, and start charging millions of dollars for customers to use it

  • I don't fully agree with you. It's certainly no major coverup but it's a heap of evidence that goes against this shiny veneer google maintains with the public

    Google pretends they are champions of user privacy and protection to maintain trust and enable data collection on an unprecedented scale

    When this article shows they are actually leaking private info left right and center, have the most nonchalant attitude towards respecting and maintaining our privacy and evidently 'keeping private info safe' (or should I say 'not being evil') is at the bottom of their priority list

  • No where in my house, that's for sure... They're obviously going to tear the place apart and it's the most obvious place to look for someone so unless I have some sort of secret hidden space I don't know about, it's a no go

    Even if there's a secret hideaway in my house, those agents are gunna station people here to wait and see if I show up, so I wouldn't be able to leave easily either.. I'd be trapped

    No thanks, I'd rather leave and disappear...

  • Mozilla did an investigation into privacy violations of modern cars, turns out there are no cars that respect our privacy, and some go as far as specifying in their privacy policy that the driver agrees to data collection regarding their sex life

  • I definitely advocate for now cancelling headphones, especially as someone with really bad misophonia.

    Sadly, leaf blowers are one of the most penetrative sounds for active noise cancelling, but it's still way better than nothing

  • I wouldn't say I hate them as much as mosquitoes because at least it in the wilderness the ratio of leaf blower dicks goes down (but never zero)

    That said, yeah I fucking hate leaf blowers with a furious passion, and they're everywhere in my city! Regardless of the time, or day, or location in the city, there is at least one leaf blower dick audible!

  • Then check out the reply by Zak in this thread

    There are many many ways your being tracked by the apps and service you use

    Unfortunately, a vpn is just the tip of the iceberg. It's a great first step but if you wanted to prevent your exact situation, I think only a phone running graphene OS would protect you in this instance since it isolates play services, among other privacy protecting features

  • I was referring to my laptop so it's a bit different from a desktop

    However with a desktop usually you have to use the software for your parts to control the fans

    For example my GPU is gigabyte so I have to use their app for GPU fan control

    My motherboard is MSI so I have to use their software for cpu fan and any case fans I attach to the motherboard

    I haven't looked into it that much so I can't say for sure but I don't know of a way to controll all these fans from one place (unless they're allt he same brand)

  • Lol this is my gaming laptop if I don't disable Intel Turbo boost

    Meanwhile the fans are at like 15%

    If I put the fans on full blast manually it sounds like a jet engine taking off

    And the temps are still at 90+ and causing throttling lol

    Thankfully there's throttlestop

  • I had a similar time with piped not working reliably, I prefer invidious, specifically iv.ggtyler.dev has pretty much always worked for me

    Anyways, It's really easy to just swap for another instance or whatever

    OP link is

    https://piped.video/watch?v=YnSv8ylLfPw

    Just take everything after the domain and TLD

    (everything after "piped.video")

    And slap it on the end of another instances domain and TLD

    (For example iv.ggtyler.dev)

    End result:

    iv.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=YnSv8ylLfPw

    It even works with YouTube:

    youtube.com/watch?v=YnSv8ylLfPw
