  • They very likely dont have read or write access to the files on your device.

    However, they probably do have the ability to remotely wipe the device. This feature is typically used in enterprise if a phone or laptop is lost or stolen to prevent bad actors from getting access to the data stored on the device.

  • 20 grand for a full 100 point boost to your IQ seems like a pretty good deal.

    Like, for the price of a new car I can be smarter than Einstein and realize I probably wasted that 20 grand.

  • I just glanced over the options it changes. From what I can tell it:

    • enables GPU rendering for some canvas2d options
    • doubles cache sizes for almost everything
    • disables some speculative prefetching

    I cant imagine these options are making a 30% speed difference, outside of some very specialized tests. But, I also haven't tried it so I could very well be wrong.

  • Fate is pretty easy nowadays. Just start with literally any series made after 2011. They're all self contained stories that explain the premise within the first few episodes.

    We're a long way from the old days where you had to read the VN if you wanted to have any idea about what was going on in the UBW movie.

  • Not only does password rotation not add to security, it actually reduces it.

    Assuming a perfect world where users are using long randomly generated strong passwords it's a good idea and can increase security. However, humans are involved and it just means users change their passwords from "Charlie1" to "Charlie2" and it makes their passwords even easier to guess. Especially if you know how often the passwords change and roughly when someone was hired.

    Ideally, your users just use a password manager and don't know any of their credentials except for the one to access that password manager.

    If they need to manually type them in, password length should be prioritized over almost any other condition. A full sentence makes a great unique password with tons of entropy that is easy to remember and hard to guess.

  • This is one of those weird things that venture capital does sometimes.

    VC is is injecting cash into tech right now at obscene levels because they think that AI is going to be hugely profitable in the near future.

    The tech industry is happily taking that money and using it to develop what they can, but it turns out the majority of the public don't really want the tool if it means they have to pay extra for it. Especially in its current state, where the information it spits out is far from reliable.

  • On one hand, hosting content online isnt free, so there should be some form of subsidization to offset that. But I feel like selling my privacy to massive firms so that they can analyze my habits to serve me ads about things I would be statistically more likely to buy is a bad solution to this problem.

    I dont have a good fix, as the only 2 alternatives that seem to show up are paid subscriptions and decentralization. Which are both useful options, but not one that fits all cases.

  • I get this too. However, you'll usually be able to tell the professionals your end goal during the quoting process and if your requirements are reasonable, they'll work with you.

    If they won't do that, then you get to ask yourself the next question:

    • Do they have a good reason to refuse? (safety [either theirs or yours], regulations, etc)

    If not, then you can just refuse the quote and work with someone else.

    More often than not, the professionals know what they're doing and will be able to work around your requirements, and if they can't, they'll have competitors that can.

  • How Much Is Your Time Worth?

    Jump

  • It varies.

    In most cases it's more a question of "What is the risk if I do this myself?" and "If I completely fuck this up, is it going to cost more to fix than just calling someone who knows what they're doing before that happens?"

    If the answer to the above doesn't involve a fire in my walls or serious water damage like with electical or plumbing, and the cost to fix mistakes is low, then sure, I'll try it myself first.

    If I see the machine has been up for weeks and they tell me they rebooted it, I know i'm dealing with someone who doesn't know that pressing the power button on the monitor doesn't turn the computer off.

  • Tea versus Coffee

    Jump

  • I like both quite a bit, and even got into the hobby culture for each.

    Tea is simpler in preparation, but way more complex in terms of varieties. There is a huge difference between a chinese black tea and an assam black tea, even though its the same core ingredient, prepared in a similar fashion.

    Coffee on the other hand has fewer varieties, but way more variables in preparation that can drastically change the flavor of your cup. The size of your grind, the brew temperature and the extraction time all have pretty major effects on thr end product.
