  • RIP Mac Pro, I guess.

    Jump

  • On one hand, bummer. But on the other, sort of a waste of hardware anyway.

    I was a big time pro user. G3 tower with DVD card, G5 dual, Mac Pro 5,1 with dual X5690's and other upgrades. But I had to drag those systems kicking and screaming out of Apple's walled garden to do what is second nature on the PC side of things. Loved the OS back then, but not all users were braindead drones.

    "Pro" stopped being a moniker for advanced capability, instead the most expensive, least hobbled version.

    I hope whomever replaces Cook (rumor has it) once again remembers what it was like to be a nerd under all that businessman authority.

    haveibeenpwned alternatives / data?

    Jump

  • I'm totally in the same boat. Haveibeenpwned is useless to me since the change.

    Bookmarked the thread for future reference.

  • hardware replacement upgrade

    Jump

  • Yeah, upgrading to a Pi5 was super simple for me using the backup method. After the swap, I had to pair a few devices again and fix a couple automations to reflect the changes, but that was all. I'd definitely go that route vs start from scratch unless you are experiencing some serious problems.

  • Death of beloved neighborhood cat sparks outrage against robotaxis in San Francisco

    Jump

  • I lost a beloved cat a few months ago that ran into the road. My security camera caught the whole thing.

    "What if?" Is its own torment for us, but analytically, she simply wasn't visible and there was nothing the driver could/should have done to prevent the horrible outcome.

    There are in life no-win situations. It hurts, but it's an adult realization. Cats go under cars to hide - to avoid being seen - and can't grasp danger the same as humans.

  • Trump administration will use SNAP contingency fund to pay partial food stamp benefits

    Jump

  • Normally I would agree, but this administrations actions over the year entrenched police/military protections from citizens from the get-go and strategically targeted cities to incite retaliation. It is clear conflict with American citizens in some form is a desirable outcome.

    Attacking SNAP was a calculated move, but outcome turned unfavorable so they are backtracking. Polish the turd with spin, and try something else.

  • If blaming Democrats actually stuck, they wouldn't do shit. This is nothing more than a move to cover their own ass and broadcast their PR spin.

  • Trump remodels Lincoln bathroom in latest White House renovation

    Jump

  • As much as I hate the man touching our landmarks and his horrendous "aesthetics"...

    ... are we jumping on the green tile bandwagon?!?

    That's a rough one to defend; right up there with carpeted bathrooms. Oof.

    Edit 1 day later: Just saw a picture of the marble version. The images didn't load when I read the article yesterday. Yikes. Green tile FTW.

  • Sexwork aside, (not my thing) that sounds like a really nice vacation actually.

    Every year for decades I take me time to unplug and get away from the grind. No digital devices, no cell service are major pluses.

  • As 'No Kings' protests decry Trump, surveillance worries emerge

    Jump

  • Gave my family that tip before they went out. Some phones were left behind because they still track location when turned off.

    They said there were lots of cameras out there, but of note was one car driving by with pricy equipment and government plates. Definitely cover faces.

  • Flying toaster > DVD logo

    Fight me. 😁

  • Nearly 50% of Gen Z Say They’re Too Burnt Out to Work

    Jump

  • Incorrect. I was unemployed for a time and very burnt out. The churn still grinds you up and spits you out, shit paycheck or none.

    Now I'm underemployed and still burned out. But at least it will take longer to go bankrupt.

  • Trump says inflation is 'defeated' and the Fed has cut rates, yet prices remain too high for many

    Jump

  • No, this is totally the point. The wealthy can borrow cheap money now to buy up all the property people are losing in disasters and financial crises. Welcome to renter hell, peons.

  • Why Are So Many Pedestrians Killed by Cars in the US?

    Jump

  • Anyone else feel that site reads like AI? Registered 2023, all posts have the same format. New random articles every 3-4 days complete with research & graphs. Occasionally off topic.

    I've been wrong before though. It's hard for me to identify AI content sometimes.

  • I don't like it either. But ...

    Third-Party Auditing: Incorporating rigorous, industry-leading third-party auditing standards to verify election integrity at every step."

    ... does sound like a good step. Give NPR/researchers access and only run audited code. It's what we'd ask of Republicans if Democrats owned the company.

    I'd still prefer open source.

    And the ugly axe starts swinging.

    There were enough pins and stripes in that room to understand 'divide and conquer' strategy.

    So what's it going to be? Stand up for the Constitution or bend over?
