  • Mysterious cyberattack took down more than 600,000 routers in the U.S.

    Jump

  • I'd be more suspicious of the router manufacturer or even a disgruntled worker there than anyone else to be honest. An actual hacker I think would be more motivated to turn them into a botnet or similar.

    Can't think of why someone would want to brick them without another motive but I could be wrong.

  • And I was blown away the ps1 game Vagrant Story turned Into 90mb file as a chd.

    That said one of the games I enjoyed most even when I had an Amiga was a 48k ZX Spectrum game called Chaos.

  • It's a bit too restrictive by default imo, good for privacy but you will need to change quite a few setting if you want to browse normally.

    Despite my opinion it's the browser I use most on my laptop.

  • If you were home and had five minutes to hide from foreign agents who were coming to hunt you down, where would you hide?

    Jump

  • I wouldn't hide I'd ambush them and call every police force etc I could think of.

    I don't think anything else is really a sensible option except trying to cover as much distance in 5 min as possible and again calling every one who could potentially help.

  • Was this considered 'piracy' back in the day?

    Jump

  • I had a friend whose family owned a video store, while it wasn't exactly legal he could get me copies of everything and they were completely perfect Pirates.

    I mean covers, labels and the actual tapes. They had specialised machines for all of it and they did it pretty perfectly.

    Ive tried doing it myself by linking two machines together and the results were watchable but not on the same level as the machines he was using.

  • if you ever dropped water or liquids on a notebook and placed it in a bucket full of rice afterwards, did the notebook work again?

    Jump

  • I get it, ipa is good and fixes surprisingly a lot but only ever use it on boards, components and things like buttons and connectors. Keep it away from screens and batteries.

    I've always done this honestly maybe I didn't explain well. It does do a miracle job on water damage if done early enough though.

    Jump

  • True I've had screens on smaller devices go very distorted for a few days after ipa was used elsewhere. They did actually clear and go back to normal mind you and I've never actually went near an actual screen with ipa intentionally.

    Jump

  • It's when corrosion sets in things get unfixable. If you get to its insides before then some IPA and a decent scrub with something like toothbrush can clean it up.

    The exception to this would probably only really be the battery and yeah that should be disconnected as the first step.

  • Rabbit Gaslit Me, So I Dug Deeper

    Jump

  • Pretty much everything AI is a scam, I mean it has its uses but isn't exactly as claimed yet. Pretty much every non phone AI gadget I've seen so far definetly is a scam.

  • DRM Hell

    Jump

  • One of the reasons but not the main one I cancelled Netflix (to be honest I just thought the originals were bad and any I actually gave a a chance they cancelled almost immediately).

    But yeah their selling thing like 4k at a premium and making it almost impossible to ever actually use it. Better off just pirating.

  • Testing 8 Innovative New Boat Propeller Designs

    Jump

  • I've actually been watching this guy for a while, it's interesting his homemade rc stuff etc.

  • Help needed choosing a good pair of noise cancelling earphones

    Jump

  • I'm using Jabras at the minute they have much worse NC than the Sonys they replaced. Their one plus point is range and waterproofness but yeah for NC avoid Jabra.

  • Intel vs AMD Laptops in 2024 - What a Mess...

    Jump

  • I favor Amd for laptops the reason is simply Apus, I've a really nice modded version of fallout new vegas on my laptop if it was an intel Id need a decent graphics card to do the same. I mostly prefer older games so Apu is fine for me.

    Desktops though you might as well go power crazy.

  • YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers

    Jump

  • Could be I just can't get over the timing of echolon suddenly being called over and Google appearing almost instantly

    That said I still use Google just don't trust it really I've always felt it was an intelligence company in truth and probably the echelons replacement.

  • YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers

    Jump

  • Google's a dumb ass company and I strongly suspect them to be Americas replacement to the echolon program mainly due to the timing.

    Seems profits getting a bit more relevant than intelligence to them these days.

    Yeah I'd rather go without YouTube than deal with the ads at this point they went ridiculous with it a long time ago.

    🌱 "Do You Think Vegans Are CRAZY?" | Challenging Misconceptions 🌿

    Jump

  • I had an ex go vegan when I was with her she did honestly turn fully nuts in the fact she decided her cat was now vegan and began constantly trying to blackmail me into it.

    Yeah that's why it ended as well, my favourite food is a beef curry and I love a good burger.

    Granted I don't think all Vegans are like this it's just my main experience with it.

  • MKBHD - Do Bad Reviews Kill Companies?

    Jump

  • I hope they do I bought a nothing phone 1 after reading promises of how they wouldn't move to another phone until they had everything right etc.

    Not only did they not keep it but after launching the 2 almost right after this claim they actively sabotaged the 1 the camera got worse the battery got way worse and thing is now super unstable and I really believe it's on purpose as custom roms make the phone great.

    The company is dead to me but I am kinda enjoying seeing the phone 2 users now complain because they are starting to get the same treatment now.
