The Linux copy command raises some eyebrows. And even a warning.

I'm guessing they mean: do you use your 60-100w laptop charger for your phone, if they both use usb c.

Same with google maps. With no 'web and search history' enabled the local searches I did on my local device won't be remembered. So every time you'd need to fill in the entire address. That's just bullying you into accepting their tracking.

I always figured people in a stone-age tribe in a subtropic region, in a period with no wars, natural disasters and plagues (these conditions must have existed somewhere right?), would have had the best lives.

Just hanging around making some basic tools, pots and bows and arrows, hunting a bit, foraging some fruits and mushrooms, be amazed by nature. Not too bad.

Ok a bit offtopic, but is this really ransomware or just a fullscreen 'ad' that you can easily close? I wasn't aware of ransomware on phones.

People are so shortsighted about this. Spend billions on Microsoft products to prevent spending millions on a safe solution that will never be suddenly deprecated.

Shit, I still can't recognize your daughter.

The flips smaller size is awesome, but I think that positive is offset by the annoyance of having to open the phone the every time.

The fold I could see myself buying in a later gen. Once the hinge and screen are through a few more iterations I think I'll buy one. The huge screen is just so nice. But folded up it shouldn't be much heavier, larger, thicker than a normal phone, I already think modern phones are way too big as it is.

First of all, the amount of water in your body doesn't matter. Gravity doesn't just affect water.

Secondly, the gravity of the moon on earth is about 1/10 millionth of the gravity of earth itself. So basically you lose more weight by spitting once than you lose because of the moons gravity.

And thirdly, why only during full moon? The moon is still there even when it's not full, so the gravity is also still there. Even during the day the moon is still there.

All this full moon stuff is just pseudoscience.

Please, with all the dragnet laws and the sharing of that data with foreign agencies there is no privacy.

Not to mention all the cameras everywhere.

Something that's often overlooked as being federated: Nextcloud.

Its basically just a host file. It pulls in a huge file with all the ad domains and whenever your phone tries to connect to one it gets ignored. Therefore it also works for ads in apps.

In a place where people make 1100 or so.

Install Linux on your current chromebook. If the hardware is still good that's a no-brainer in my book.

Chromium, not chrome. Which means also Brave, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi and a lot more. Basically only Firefox and Safari are left as the big non-chromium ones.

But that's not the worst of it. Even if you tear out this code, more and more websites will be built that rely on it. Which means Firefox etc also need to include it to keep functioning.

Obviously its way past time for us to leave NATO and let the Europeans finally start paying the bulk of their own defense instead of the US taxpayer. I also think we should write our congressmen to insist they pass a law requiring the same VISA app for the EU to come to America.

Lol.

The more comments I read the sadder I become. They have no information outside their own little fantasy-filled bubble.

I wouldn't even be surprised if it came out the FBI was hosting fediverse servers aimed at some crime. Like a instance dedicated to digital piracy.

I won't put it past musk to lapse copyright on the twitter logo and name. Seems like exactly the kind of dumb thing he would do.

If you share internet you definitely need a vpn. Anyone who can log into the router can see your exact internet history. Depending on the exact situation you can also set up vlans, but only if the other person cant just simply disable them at the end point (router). Maybe you can setup your own router behind the current one with a build-in always-on vpn.

Custom email aliases and password managers are great just in case one account gets hacked they cant just use that account to log into other sites.

Viruses, just don't click on suspect links, check for phising etc in emails, harden your browser by blocking JavaScript as much is possible without it breaking the websites. And don't use windows, since most viruses target that. Linux and Mac are less targeted and have better build in security.

And update all your stuff regularly, even things like router firmware.

Oh and don't attach iot products to the internet, those usually have terrible security and can be used to break into your network. Block them in the router (again, having your own router helps) and preferably put then on their own vlan.

Why would using email aliases increase you mitm attack vector threat?
