Just add another digit and watch the entire country break down because they can't find someone to update their 40+ year old software written in COBOL.

It's still faster than most lithium batteries can charge. They still have a long ways to go to reach the charge rate of super capacitors though.

Yeah, I'm not paying for pirated content.

When the drive is mounted noexec it's not possible to run any programs on it. You can also mount any user writable directories noexec so they can't copy the program somewhere else and run it.

Yes, Linux has autorun and some distros have it enabled by default.

It seems like they could be rendered ineffective by simply disabling auto run and forcing removable drives to mount noexec.

Does anyone still use it? I just use markdown if I want basic formatting, otherwise I use Libreoffice.

That's for sure. I already assume ads contain malware and consider and ad blocker to be essential for security and privacy.

It could be 24fps video sped up to 25fps for PAL. If it was 25fps sped up to 30fps, it would be very noticeable and the episodes would be about 3 minutes shorter.

It's been a long time since I pirated over sneakernet. I shared a lot of music with friends that way though. I had an mp3 player with a big hard drive and it had a USB host port, so you could plug in a flash drive and copy files.

I doubt that will be true anymore. 12 will probably have even more spyware and ads than 11.

Anyone with a NAS will immediately notice that they are on 2.4GHz because it will take several times longer to transfer files.

I use the free Adguard DNS server with the private DNS function on my phone. It works well enough for me. I don't see any reason to get the paid version. Of course I have uBlock Origin, but the DNS ad blocking helps in apps other than my web browser.

I can't stand the screeching of a dot matrix printer. The correct way to print the news is with a teletype.

I would imagine most people who aren't using chrome are doing so for privacy reasons.

One of the less polished parts of the browser.

Probably because most people using Firefox disable browsing history.

Why not just make solar roofs over things like parking lots and sidewalks? That way it can provide cover and power, you can use off the shelf panels, and they are unlikely to get damaged.

SponsorBlock takes care of the sponsored segments in youtube videos. There are addons for blocking sponsored search results on amazon too.

You can do almost anything with a website that you could do with an app. The only reason they are pushing the apps so hard is because they can collect a lot more data than a website can.

Almost every Lemmy instance blocked threads.
