  • All porn sites must 'robustly' verify UK user ages by July

  • Right? You can't stop the porn and these barriers is only to create an artificial market.

    But whatever. The more people become anonymous on the internet, the better.

  • Never owned a house, so for the past decade, I ran wiring up the side of stairs and to the side of walls.

    Last year during the move, I've been too lazy and got wireless. Been fine for us! We're also not playing anything that requires low ping or anything.

    Once I own a house and can drill holes, I'm absolutely going back to wires.

  • Incredible stuff! Cat6?

    Been a dream project for years but when I first explored it a decade ago, cat6 was still new and expensive, and wasn't recommended because "who needs internet that fast".

  • What a twist. In the 90s, the internet forced countries to wake up to the new modern era. It was a combination of American companies wanting both to expand and provide goodwill.

    And now, this new era is going to tell American companies to fuck off.

  • I was so happy when I saw some modern KIAs use analog controls.

    Then I checked KIAs reliability and safety score and died.

  • FTC sues GoDaddy for years of poor hosting security practices

  • $125k over five years is stupid. That's $25k a year for five years.

    GoDaddy made 4.481B last year.

    For math nerds, that's 179,240 times the penalty.

  • Truth.

    I hate on HR. But I do not envy them having to pour through thousands of shitty applications.

    We got about 7 stage-2 interviews out of 2000 applications. (Stage 1 is just the introduction and checking if they're not a bozo. Stage 2 is actual dept folks)

  • Got a cold email? &hit them with that sweet chat gbt copy pasta!

    Wait what? Can you give me more details?

    Sorry I'm too American because I bend over and accept corporate penetration.

  • That's correct! Not very common for dealerships to accept a credit card for the payment, even a down payment.

    And I didn't feel comfortable handing them cash directly.

    I guess I could have given them my debit card. But giving them a check with a paper trail seemed more secure in my head. Uncertain if that's true or not.

  • Well yeah. It's when you shove your ✏️ into the magnetic tape so you can destroy it because it contained evidence of the time you pooped the bed and then tried to toss it out the window.

    Now ✏️ and cassette are a different thing.

  • Steam has the best UI

    Jump

  • Right? The nerd who looks at steam on their phone and then on their desktop and rages about the UI... Like dude, chill.

    The UX in UX/UI stands for User Experience and it's great.

  • At the entry level, it's extremely tough now. You're competing against engineers who are willing to work remotely for less. If you don't have a portfolio, in my company, youre pretty much a NO.

  • It's absolutely your geography. I lived in a town with very little tech folks, and I was chasing after every lead I could. Moved to a tech hub, and I was turning down offers left and right. I was also speaking at conferences and doing a lot with the tech community - doing hackathons and contributing to open source while I was unemployed.

  • I am still angry at Facebook for normalizing using your real name. That eroded a lot of basic security practices.
