FTUSA is amazing. It's either free or super cheap, depending on your state and income. I wish I knew about them sooner. I did my taxes on my phone at work during a slow shift.

He's been gone a while. Congress just never approved his replacement.

Republicans

Could it be to appease backbenchers?

And constituents. While you'd think failing to pass something would damage the party's reputation, for hardcore members, the fact they tried to fight even a losing battle "for the cause," is seen as a plus.

"It's the other parties' fault for getting in the way of justice!"

I'm gonna ride out Windows 10 since I've got it behaving and I'm lazy. But if Windows 12 is just like Windows 11, or worse, I'm switching to Linux and figuring out how to get a vGPU VM up and running for when I have to run something on Windows for one reason or another. I messed with a vGPU in Hyper-V on Windows and was amazed by how seamless the performance was compared to other VM GPU acceleration options. I found a project to do something similar on Linux, so I'm gonna mess with that. If I can get it running as well as I've seen in some videos, I won't need a bare metal Windows install anymore.

Turns out making a low-pressure vacuum tube that spans 100+ miles, but lets small pods full of people be inserted on demand, was way harder and more expensive than predicted, making it poorly price competitive with existing technology like high-speed rail. For some reason.

Your router's firewall only blocks access to unauthorized ports. If your device is talking to the Internet, then that device is exposed to that connection. Your router's firewall does not prevent your device from using an outdated and exploitable software on the Internet.

Theoretical example, your device is stuck using an old web browser for whatever reason, that browser does not have a recent patch for an exploit involving loading infected pictures. You use that device to load a website with those infected pictures and your device loads malware because of that. Now your device could become a conduit for somebody to tunnel into your home network and look for any other things to exploit, whether those devices connect to the Internet themselves or not.

Obviously, you can often update web browsers on older devices, use a fork specifically designed for older devices, etc. But there are oversights. Old Android versions can't update Webview outside of OS updates. Webview is what apps use to load web pages inside the app, and if you're using an old app, which uses the old Webview, to load a webpage that the owner abandoned and has been taken over by a malicious third-party, your device could be exploited just by that app loading that webpage without you meaning to.

You and OP are definitely not from my instance, yet here I am. Guess Lemmy federation works differently than I thought. That or somehow a piece of Startrek.website is still running out there, even if the front-end is down.

It's not stupidity. You need to invent the tools that are needed to make the tools that make the tools that make the tools that make the thing. China still hasn't independently invented most of those tools yet, so they've been relying on finished tools from other countries. Being smart doesn't wipe away the decades of research needed to make something. We all expect China to eventually be able to make an equivalent tool, but they're working with a handicap of inexperience which was expected to take years of dedication to overcome. Which is why everybody is skeptical that China made this independently without outside help or knowledge.

It would probably involve needing to make a custom firmware for the controller in order to redirect it to a different server, and to reimplement its Wifi pairing.

LOL, DS9 laying the truth before it was even a meme. Throw on a high-vis vest and carry a ladder, walk into almost any venue.

It's gonna be funny if people start dual-booting Linux on Mac in the future because they get better game support with the reverse engineered Linux GPU drivers.

So many stories they could've gone with that didn't even involve Master Chief as well. And if they wanted to do their own thing they could've just picked a different time and place and used original characters telling whatever story. Fans would've been bummed to not see MC, but it would've avoided having to tip-toe around established canon.

But nope, they said screw canon, just make shit up instead.

I really hope somebody saves IdolNinja's work on SR2.

Not to mention they have a freaking Help page explaining how to remove it if you really don't like it for some reason.

Well you can just remove the button by right-clicking on it. But if that's not enough, Mozilla has a help page to completely disable it.

Yeah, in the show they were imprisoned on a metal platform at sea, as far from rock as possible, which makes way more sense. At least until somebody invented Metalbending later in the series.

Agh, these replies keep stabbing me in the soul. The Last Airbender was such a bad movie, even for movie fans, let alone fans of the franchise.

My God, the Halo series was so bad. So many ways they could've made a Halo Universe show that even casuals could watch, but nope, we gotta purposely step on and change everything the fans liked about the franchise.

Xitter

LOL, my brain read that as "shitter" and I found that pretty fitting.
