They also typo'd 16 "MB" of ram for the recommended specs for Windows.

VPN into your home lab isn't about privacy, it's more about reducing your exposed services to the public internet.

If you have only the ports needed to VPN back into your network, then the rest is hidden behind your router. You only need to fully secure one thing, instead of having to ensure that everything is 100% patched.

It's not the only thing you should be doing, but it does help reduce the probability of a breach.

I cut my spending to the bone. I can afford to spend more, but I don't see any reason to participate in the economy more than I have to.

That's how people click on them. I follow a science interview podcast and they hired a new producer that started changing the YouTube thumbnails to those generic dumb click bait ones.

The host says he hates it, but can't argue that whenever they make a thumbnail like that, the views are significantly higher.

In the end, you do what draws eyeballs. The content is what matters.

Yeah, it's been hit and miss with downloading from the Kindle. I mostly get books from the library and strip the DRM from there. I figure it's a win-win, because the library gets a record of the checkout, but then I get to read it at my leisure while the next person gets to read it.

Ted Lasso is just Major League, but fútbol.

This currently works, but I don't know if it will continue working forever - probably not too much longer after this announcement.

The "old Kindle PC app" might keep working in the future, but my guess is that it's going to be done soon as well.

edit: One thing I ran into was after installing the kindle app and turning off the auto-update, it still updates. So keep the installer handy and just reinstall it as needed.

I've tried a bunch of times, but haven't really found anything that's been particularly useful as a steamdeck 3d printed accessory. Probably the closest I've come is a steamdeck gridfinity storage solution for my desk, and a stand to play if I felt like using an xbox controller instead of holding the deck.

Here's the ones linked from the video, nothing in there was super interesting. Best one of the bunch was the charger insert, but I've found it to be annoying to use. I just go back to a small bag to stuff the charger into.

The drivers license number has information about gender and birthdate encoded into it. You can see enough of the number to know that this is someone who registered as female, and has a recorded birth date of 29 July '98. I assume this person isn't 126 years old, so we'll say they're 26.

You can tell it's an Illinois license, because no other state is as obsessed with Lincoln. (Edit: you can also read the Illinois in the seal in the back left)

Cool thing about Illinois drivers licenses is that we know OP is 26 now.

You mean HG Wells's The Time Machine: The Series?

I'm still waiting for the spinoff series where they cover what he Morlocks are doing while the Eloys play with pudding and run around in their hobbit houses.

Matt Parker uses Excel to demonstrate how subpixels/images are generated.

This plan was always doomed from the start.

The aliens left us a terraforming machine just under Mons Olympus. Send Arnold up there to turn it on and we'll have an atmosphere on Mars in minutes.

The caveat to THAT is that we do have historical data, and if we can find one or more images confirmed to be the target, we could narrow it down without additional imaging.

It's not a world ending strike. It's 2.3% odds that a city ending strike lands somewhere on earth, most likely in the ocean.

It's a fraction of a fraction of a % that it'll hit somewhere with any humans at all, much less a populated city.

And on top of that, we have until 2032 to decide what to do about it, with enough time to potentially redirect it with technology we've already demonstrated that works. And if that isn't enough, we just need one or two more data points to figure out almost exactly where it will hit, and can evacuate the area.

Just like we do for hurricanes and other natural disasters.

This is not an emergency, this is an easy mode try out for a real disaster.

Just ask Tumblr.

They do an after purchase check on the car, and the cars sold have a post-sale warranty.

Both CarMax and Carvana offer a one week refund policy, and a post sale warranty. The warranty doesn't cover everything, but they won't be selling a car they expect will immediately fall apart, cause they'd have to eat that problem.

I assume if they end up with a piece of crap, they'll sell the car to an auction or scrapyard to recoup what they can.

Almost any modern printer can print that clean now. Bambu upped the game, but everyone caught up.
