  • As a private person doing nothing illegal, is there value to having a VPN?

    Jump

  • I use Apple’s “private relay” which I believe is not quite a VPN. Vendors collecting my data are given a unique ip in a different or more generic location, making it more difficult to aggregate. I hope this contributes to the general goal of reducing the exploitability of my data that they have collected.

    At the very least they shouldn’t be able to learn my local travel habits

  • How's your HA voice assistant going?

    Jump

  • It’s not 🙁. Height of laziness: I ran out of usb-c cables and had to use that one for something else.

    It’s not like I can get them dirt cheap overnight delivery …..

  • Republican Congressman Calls for Investigation Into Bad Bunny Halftime Show

    Jump

  • Good question, I may have to “investigate” too. I missed it live but maybe I’ll track down some videos

  • What are some product categories where the mainstream option IS the best option?

    Jump

  • Not at all. While I am American and thought hersheys was chocolate when I was a kid, I left that behind. I actually stopped eating chocolate for many years because it was just so bad. Then a Lindt Chocolatier opened in the lobby where I was working at the time, and it was good. Entirely different.

    These days I eat chocolate again bit am quite picky and am willing to spend more for something that actually tastes good.

    Except Ghirardelli. People claim that’s good and I agree relative to Hershey, but it really isnt.

    It’s probably mostly cost. Hershey is dirt cheap and sold everywhere. Chocolate that tastes good might be several times the cost and you have to goto special stores

  • Wow, 12! You’re right

    And sure enough, searching for Rivian returns that they are only allowed to sell in 25 US states. It probably hasn’t mattered much with the R1 generation being relatively few sales but now that they’re coming out with R2 and R3, and expecting a lot more sales, they need a way around this

    It’s ridiculous that any state would create a law for a single manufacturer: that needs to be fixed

    Jump

  • Around the Boston area I see too many older urban highways with dangerously short merge lanes and limited view. There is no safe way

  • How the audiences of news sources differ in their levels of education

    Jump

  • I can’t believe USA Today is so high. Wasn’t it’s whole schtick being ultra simplified?

  • What are some product categories where the mainstream option IS the best option?

    Jump

  • I always wondered if part of the problem is the long shelf life. I swear I’ve tasted some hersheys that was good. Perhaps it ages safely but rancid?

  • What are some product categories where the mainstream option IS the best option?

    Jump

  • Never actually tried that because delivery times are so insane. When I’ve wanted to schedule a specific day, I’ve gotten same day or by 6am delivery, making it moot

  • VLAN’s and Subnets For Home Networks

    Jump

  • Step 0. Make sure your networking equipment can do vlans and subnets.

    Given how much I paid for a “high end” consumer router, I just assumed …..

  • BASED?

    Jump

  • You just have to get older. I have it on good authority that the law of supply and demand turn things around - men can be old enough to have made money while still being able to date women young enough to not have made money (and no, we’re not Epstein related)

  • Who were some of your childhood heroes that turned out to be horrible people?

    Jump

  • Yes, I’m a big fan of his so far

  • Save as PDF

    Jump

  • Or alternatively, why don’t we run with that approach? So many things would benefit from “save to text”. A bit farther afield but why not save to image, save to html, etc.

  • Four dead and three receive liver transplants after eating death cap mushrooms in California

    Jump

  • Plus they taste horrible and have weird texture. Just don’t even go there.

  • Am I the only one who thinks patriotism includes speaking out to help your country achieve its potential, rather than blindly accepting whatever you’re told?

  • Who were some of your childhood heroes that turned out to be horrible people?

    Jump

  • Can I say Dr Oz, sort of? Seriously, many of the women in my Moms generation were huge Oprah fans, and really loved Dr Oz. While his expertise was always questionable, his advice seemed relatively harmless and wholesome. For conservative folk with no interest in following medical science, they watched listened, and learned, including some actual good advice.

    Now I just can’t even answer with some of the shit those same relatives bring up
