  • Some people can’t separate the artist from the art.

    They say they don’t want to support her, but honestly she has so much money already. If her money was doubled or halved, nothing would change for her.

    Whatever your opinion of her is, you had to admit that she created a worldwide lasting phenomenon. EVERYONE knows something about Harry Potter and few people dislike it.

    I’m not a fan of there being a show made, but at the same time, the books have so many plot holes that I wouldn’t mind a new edition that rewrites some things to fix them.

    Maybe the show will do that.

  • I’m could be wrong, but I think the military has an inside joke that marines are really dumb. Like they are really good soldiers but they are really stupid and would eat a crayon not noticing that it’s not food.

    But I’m not in the military, so I could be way off.

  • Yeah! Steamdeck makes it happen. Playing in short bursts and the ability to sleep the console is amazing. I hated having to sit at a desk and dedicate enough time until a save point to play. The anxiety of playing for 5 minutes and then having to quit because something came up made me not want to play at all.

    Now, I game so much more than I used to.

  • I always wondered how any head of state could feel like they were not being spied on if they were using windows.

    Can governments really ensure that windows has been secured that well or is there always a possibility that Microsoft is spying for the United States?

  • That’s reminds me of a time I got in a small argument with a friend back in high school.

    He said, “I hope a plane crashes into your house… but it will only kill you. It won’t hurt your family or break your house or anything.”

    After that, the argument was over as we were both laughing so hard.

  • I can't find it now and I do not think it really applies here. But someone stated that being high IQ could lead to academic problems as the high IQ learner would understand or see things that the professor could not causing the professor to mark it as incorrect.

    I guess this is the idiocracy version of it.

  • Using public WiFi can be dangerous. I still use the hotel wifi when traveling though.

    But if I’m doing anything important I’ll turn on my vpn for extra protection because you do not know who is snooping on your data.

    A lot of data being transmitted is encrypted but the person in the middle could still see which sites you are accessing, just not the content.

    There are some attacks that can downgrade your connection so the stuff is not encrypted, but I don’t think that is very likely to happen due to other safety mechanisms.

    In addition to this, even someone collects your encrypted internet traffic, they can’t see what the data is. But once quantum computers are accessible, they can easily break the encryption and look at everything.

    I don’t believe quantum resistant encryption is currently being used for https connections.

    Another thing that could do is make sites take you to an imposter site. So google.com could take you to a clone of that site and try to get you to log in and reveal your password and email address.

  • That is such a crazy amount of money on license fees, especially when you consider that there are mostly free alternatives. I am always choosing foss options as I build my small business.

    Right now, I am using onedrive, and Microsoft for my business email. Which I think comes out to like $5 a month.

    My understanding is that for reliable email, you need to host with microsoft or google otherwise you are more likely to get sorted into junk mail. If that is incorrect, please let me know.
