Emphasis on the active part. It's listening, but passively for the keyword. The phone isn't constantly sending all the data it hears 24/7 off to someone else. But once that keyword has been activated now it's actively listening and that data is being recorded and sent.

It’s not just the clutch. Rev up the engine too.

Always sanitize your links when sharing them. Look at the querystring (everything after the ?, separated by &) most of that data isn’t needed.

YouTube link? Delete the si=(value) v= is the video.

Computers became fast enough about 20 years ago for everything short of gaming for the average user.

The internet will also bring even a modern machine to it's knees. I recently upgraded my computer at home because the poor 8th gen 6 core i5 was crying in pain. Thanks modern web devs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET

The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was the first wide-area packet-switched network with distributed control and one of the first computer networks to implement the TCP/IP protocol suite. Both technologies became the technical foundation of the Internet. The ARPANET was established by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (now DARPA) of the United States Department of Defense.

Your phone typically isn't actually listening to you. Constantly recording and uploading that data would destroy your battery.

A lot of it is just the metadata from ads, apps, location, nearby devices etc. Your phone doesn't need to know that you were watching CNN last night. CNN knows that this IP was watching them, google knows that your phone was at that IP at that time, so it can assume you watched CNN last night.

My question is: Where does this magic cable go?

Into the ISP's modem on the side of your house. From there to a box along the street, and from there miles away to either another hop, or the datacenter in your local area.

Serial communication is typically much easier to manage than parallel. In parallel all existing tasks need to be completed before the next task can start.

Can their routers see the packets sent by my router, similar to ethernet?

The data is routed, and if you don't need to send the data to you the router is not going to send it to you. The same thing applies to a switch on your local ethernet. But you only really see your traffic and any broadcasts. You don't normally see Device A talking to Device B.

That's great if you're in the mindset of "just wipe and reload it's not a problem" But most people who aren't chronic computer users aren't like that. Spending 2+ hours resetting up their computer to be just like it was isn't fun to most people.

Lmao.

Neat. I’ve been using the bone filament from micro center and it’s kinda close to my yellowed devices. But a perfect match for the unyellowed ones is even better.

The goal of these evens are to make co workers socialize with each other. So that way when they're working on things they know that a week ago at the event bob said he dealt with X, I can ask him what he did. Or John studied Y in school, he could probably help me with this. If you just send everyone home then you're building an anti social environment where people just exist around each other, and because they're busy with work don't take the time to get socialize and get comfortable around the people they're working with.

I was going to say why is this news now? This was a big thing at the end of 2023. Like they even mentioend it in the article.

The practice first came to light in 2023 when Senator Ron Wyden sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice

nothing was monetized.

Lmao.

The devices you're looking for are hyper niche devices that very few people actually want. Most people don't want more than a basic ereader with an eink display.

Some Dell with a Pentium 3. I didn't use it much and eventually got a Compaq laptop with a Pentium M of some sort. Also didn't use that too much. But eventually we got an Asus G50v gaming laptop and I used the shit out of that thing.

Can you just get an aux cable and plug that in?

I actually don't like the look or feel of my 15 vs my older 13.

I keep my 15 in a case, and fondle my 13.

I could run it in a windows virtual machine, but I literally use that app 40+ hours a week.

That's what we do at work, and it's just fine. Granted this is running on nice mac hardware and not like a 5 year old computer with integrated graphics.

Heavy heavy multi tasking. I have a problem with tabs. I used to make my old 6 core Mac Mini cry in pain.

Plus for work I heavy multi task with work stuff. I'll be running like 6 different crawlers at once and make that i9 scream.
