I'm not on nightly and have been using ublock and a few other extensions. It's nothing new afaik.

I hope you're not being serious lol. The article says the desalination plant designed by this student uses 17% of the power a normal desalination plant, meaning a 5+x reduction in energy consumption.

If you're savvy enough, sure. But for the lay person who doesn't want a clouded view of the world, they likely won't have the same resources or technical capabilities.

Theoretically, yes, since there are options other than WG/OVPN available through Smart Protocol, which Alternate Routing leverages.

And that usage is still fine and actively used in those kinds of industries. But OP is just being edgy.

That might be a solution. Once I'm done financing everything else I'm currently financing, I'll reconsider. Would be nice if they could crack compatibility with the backend that tap-to-pay requires. That would be the last element I would need to have a functional Graphene work for me.

Wow I haven't seen ZoneAlarm mentioned anywhere in a while.

Technically mine is. I reflashed it back from graphene bc no tap to pay was a deal breaker. Though I did just get an update so maybe me reflash fixed my long-standing update timing issue.

I bought mine non-carrier, but update timing, I've found, is controlled by my carrier since it was activated on their service.

Can't wait for Verizon to push this out on September...

There definitely is a reason to collect telemetry with user consent. Not everyone will go out of their way to report on issues, or there may be features that are underdeveloped that users may use more often than they expect and they want to move resources from focusing on one aspect of the OS to another. As long as it's done with consent and is an opt-in system it's fine. I get that this not the case for this Intel one, but I'm speaking generally for development as a whole.

There are reasons for data collection. But having it be opt out instead of opt in is the more evil of the two choices.

Fedora, from what I last heard, is doing the same thing for new installs. You gonna go send your pitchfork over that way too?

I'm still using Windows on my gaming rig, and Pop on my laptop, and each have their own quirks.

I try to catch and release, specifically larger flies (been having a flesh fly problem recently) because it's just less cleanup.

I've never been able to execute that successfully. Also not as easy to do when they're on a vertical surface or the ceiling.

Yes, and I've done that too, but I've also had a number of them fly away as the cup closed in on them, even when the cup isn't moving quickly.

Instinctively, I doubt it. But they can pick up on the air moving around from you trying to swat at it, which is why it's such a pain in the ass to capture to release or kill one. They are able to tell well before they're captured/caught that something is coming for them.

This BU blog entry from 2012 gives a lot of interesting information on the many ways they are able to evade us.

I'm glad to see Zhou getting support from Alfa. He's got skill. I just hope they have a car someday that can (at least for part of the season) allow him to be somewhat competitive.

You made me exhale heavily through my nostrils. Well played.
