  • "SECURE YOUR NETWORK DIPASS"

    This was back in the days when routers defaulted to no encryption with a stock password for the UI. Also I was the one who changed random people's SSID to that when I found an unsecured network.

  • Agh, right, so you are.

    Larger point still stands though.

  • From the site:

    IDDQD: Instance For /vr/, /tg/, /g/, etc.

    In other words an offshoot of 4chan's gaming-related boards (vg - Retro Gaming, tg - Traditional Gaming, g - Gaming). Unfortunately it's 4chan, so....

  • Masayoshi Takanaka - The Rainbow Goblins. Well, that's an album, but the whole album is fire.

  • Finally. As a Nevadan I cannot being to describe how utterly infuriating it was when our AG suggested it wasn't a crime, specifically "we ascertained that current state statutes did not directly address the conduct in question". It's a massive massive massive relief that he either changed his mind or was playing it close to his vest the entire time.

    Also pardon my American but I hope these chucklefucks get nailed to the wall.

  • As others have said, adblockers do still work on YouTube. Specifically, uBlock Origin works great on YouTube, as long as you don't use it with any other adblockers.

    Also if you're using Chrome, stop using Chrome. uBlock Origin still works on Chrome most of the time but Google is doing their best to kill it off. Switch to Firefox.

  • Yeah, just grabbed it and gave it a try. Took under 4 seconds to scan the same drive that WinDirStat took a full 3 minutes to scan.

  • I've been saying it for years: the Jews deserve so much better than the government of Israel. They've been through enough shit, they deserve to not be under the rule of a corrupt far-right government hellbent on committing as many human rights violations as possible. JUST ONCE AT LEAST. C'mon universe, work with us here.

  • A large portion of the population is incapable of understanding any conflict where there isn't a clearly defined "good" and "bad" side. In their eyes whichever side did The Worst Thing is Bad, and thus the other side is automatically Good and anything they do is justified.

    These people vote by the way, just in case you thought you might be able to sleep tonight.

  • I was that kid though. Not exclusively socks, but I have sensitive feet and learned early on that there are few pleasures as good as the feel of a nice new pair of socks against my footsies.

  • It's to cover the stink of Kai Winn. Even venting the room into the cold vacuum of space can't sweep out every stray "my child" that gets stuck to surfaces.

  • I've had great luck with pine- and corn-based cat litters for low/no scent and low/no dust. Only problem is that they usually don't clump, though they do make ones which do. Oh, and they're all much lighter than the normal stuff. I'd say give one of those a try.

  • It's also what the Metallica song One is about. "Hold my breath as I wish for death...." Yeah.

  • The former, though I do also need to watch through all of Twin Peaks. I suspect that may hold up better than Sailor Moon has, though Sailor Moon has still got a good bit going for it. It walked so others could fly, as they say.

  • This is one of my favs.

    Ironically my spouse and I have just started watching the series just to see what its all about.

  • The hand isn't too bad: four visible fingers that are mostly okay and the pinky could be hidden by perspective if she's curling her hand (to hold the rose perhaps).

  • I think the analysis is correct in that the implementation will die in committee before ever making it to effect, not to mention the practical considerations of implementing this in the lighting-fast timeframe of 3 years. However, I cannot help but point out this part:

    So far, not a kill switch, but some kind of technology to detect if you’re driving like a drunk person and disable the vehicle.

    "Disable the vehicle" is literally what people mean when they talk about a "kill switch". At best that's an argument over semantics. The law mandates a thing that deliberately stop your car from functioning. That's a kill switch.

  • They're more like AndroidTV boxes with a full menu and HDMI-CEC support, only they came out back in the day when Chromecasts were just for casting. They were also dirt cheap; unfortunately that's because they were made with bargain-basement parts which often failed or started to overheat easily a few months in.

  • Can't fool me. That's clearly a Cellular Peptide Cake.

  • Funnily enough I think the percentage use of adblockers is going to go up a fair bit thanks to what Google is doing. My amazingly sweet "just go along with anything" MIL actually complained to me about YouTube ads the other day, then ads on websites in general. She jumped at my offer to install a different YouTube client and a good adblocker once I explained that it was a possibility for her tablet.

    If they wanted to pull this off they needed to do it quietly, not draw attention to the fact that adblockers exist and are apparently so effective they need to do something very public about them.
