I assumed they would log everything and create a profile in you from day one. I signed up with a fresh email account.

Even Aurora store vets all the apps for trackers. Google just take the money and serve up malware.

At least these days it's farily obvious when an app is looking at your location or listening in with the mic.

Run steam from a terminal and see if you can spot any errors in the logs.

Steam games tend to just close without displaying anything in the GUI.

Also, install steam from a deb package if you can. It's the native package format for pop and mint, and will give you the least issues.

It's a link to a podcast page that returns a 404.

Literally unplayable.

Every company I worked for is like this. I sneak small improvements into daily work. If I call an old function, I'll often fix it while I'm there. Don't raise tickets. Don't ask. Just fix it.

I also have a shelf of a hundred fixes that I never merged. I've done the work, but the real hurdle is PR and and testing. It takes days of effort to push code that took an hour to write.

Australia did this once. We called it "robodebt". An algorithm that falsely cut people off social security and ultimately killed some of them.

I have a Hisense and there isn't actually a button to view TV off the antenna. It takes about 5 button presses to get there. Absolutely cooked.

This Google Free TV thing is not TV by definition.

I've got 3 subnets on an L2 switch. You will have clashes over DHCP if you have both broadcasting on the same L2 switch without VLANs.

My guest wifi is on a vlan, but the switch is L2 and it's fine. The router has separate physical ports for each subnet. The "guest" subnet is only accessible over Wifi, and the access points are configured so that the guest VLAN is mapped to a separate SSID.

My third subnet has no VLAN. It's IPv6-only and all devices have a static IP address. It's only used for security cameras. I did this so they don't transmit on the same physical cables as my primary subnet. It is otherwise insecure, as I can join the subnet by simply assigning myself a static address in the same range.

Note: There is a bug in Windows where it will join an IPv6 subnet on a different VLAN. I had to tweak my DHCPv6 / radvd so that Windows would ignore it. Yes, Windows is this dumb.

It's crazy good.

3 kids born by c-section, all spending time in the special care nursery. The only thing that I had to pay for was parking.

It's not a standard until there's an ISO, RFC, IEEE or IEC number to go with it.

I mounted mine to the outdoor TV antenna mast, added an open SSID and set it to 100%. If I'm covering the entire sports oval next to me I might as well share it.

(And yes, I know how to isolate the subnet)

If I'm in a toxic mood, I go to reddit.

I hadn't heard of that. The last time I played was on WINE.

Sober looks like a hack. I guess wine never got official support either.

Linux can't even do Roblox now. I'm not complaining, but it once worked fine and now it's actively blocked.

It's becoming quite rare to change the CR2032 on a PC motherboard these days. Even those tend to outlive the hardware.

Someone's gotta charge the eels.

It took me a few seconds to realise that graph is y=x*86-64.

Sure, if the "job" is spying and the "tool" is the user.

That's basically it. The part I don't understand is why Chinese would gravitate towards Windows while their government sees it as a US intelligence tool. I hear that most of them pirate it too.

Maybe the Steam Deck isn't readily available on the Chinese market.

I wonder if an Android calendar would be considered. Google's calendar seems to dominate since the AOSP was dropped (it's kinda maintained under the "Etar" brand now). Thunderbird desktop has a calendar.
