  • Happy New Year

    Jump

  • Assuming thats the same MacBook, its e-waste right now. Any Mac from 2017 isn't getting any updates anymore, OS or security. Maybe they could get Linux on it, but that's its only chance to get an up to date OS on it.

  • Happy New Year

  • No, its to say that using Macs lower your socioeconomic status and abilities.

  • How come laptops or pc's don't have a "webcam" facing both ways instead of just the user?

    Jump

  • Tablets don't have keyboards permanently on. This makes it easier to pick up and take pictures with a back camera.

  • My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?

  • BMW Patents Proprietary Screws That Only Dealerships Can Remove

    Jump

  • Being a patented design, it will be much harder to buy the tool for it. You'd need to buy it from BMW themselves.

  • TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files

    Jump

  • Trump already said that the new deal was going to make TikTok 100% MAGA.

  • Another one for KDE Connect. https://kdeconnect.kde.org/download.html It works on everything. Linux, Android, Windows, macOS, iOS, SailfishOS(?). I use to to share files from phone to my laptop, laptop to Steam Deck.

  • "Turn right and then turn left" I've had this exact instruction before and would easily lead to this situation. In these types of moments, odds are you are looking and the road and not the screen so rely on the audio commands.

  • Game shows have been doing this same thing for decades, and while the technology has changed (TV and phone, to stream and chat) most people who watched didn't attempt to call/chat. Why should it be different now?

  • Explaining hardware to enthusiasts

    Jump

  • Except they don't. Sure, if your comparing a $500 Windows laptop to a $2000 MacBook, then yes this is correct, but once you start comparing computers of the same price tag then it gets different. The parts on the Windows devices tend to be newer, faster, better screen/touch screen, and longer supported. Apple supports their computers for around 7 years before they can't be updated, Windows on average 10 years. And yes, Windows computers do last 10+ years, everyone is complaining very loudly how their 10+ year old Win10 machine isnt getting updates anymore and cant install Win11.

  • Who said they knew the road well? It could be their first time there and the phones map told them a left turn was coming up.

  • "Flushable wipes"; "dishwasher-safe"; "odourless" - What are some other blatant lies that companies get away with?

  • Legally, sugar-free means "less than 0.5 grams per serving."

  • Thank you for doing this. I would enjoy trying one of these on my Steam Deck.

    As for the random post, remember, Santa is Satan. Name me another person all in red, that can't be hurt by fire, and knows all the bad things you've done. Santa is also just an anagram.

  • If you're in cyber security, then I pity your employer. You openly admitted you don't know the main difference between cyber security and social engineering, this is the very basics of security.

    Two, you need to learn to read the whole article, again, basics of cyber security. If you can't read an entire article this basic, then how is anyone supposed to expect you to understand how to read a CVE report?

    "The new step follows earlier efforts to harden mobile use across the force, including training and internal drills designed to raise officers’ awareness of social-engineering tactics. In recent years, the IDF even staged scenarios mimicking Hezbollah-linked “honeypots” to stress-test units’ digital discipline."

    You read the first two paragraphs, which aligned with your confirmation bias, and ignored the further details that explained that it's due to the push against social engineering, which doesn't help your confirmation bias.

  • What retro handhelds are the best value?

  • For a little more (ebay showed between 100-150) you could get a used "new 3ds" which is quite good. Easily plays 3DS games, as well as all the older games using the TWiLight Menu app.

  • Good, good. You're learning basic reading. Now continue read the rest of it.

    Also, since you have no understanding of cyber security, here is Chatgpt to help explain the difference between it and social engineering. I even got it to explain it to a child's level so it won't have any scary big words to frighten you:

    • Cybersecurity is like locking the doors and windows of your house so strangers can’t sneak in and take your toys or mess with your stuff. It uses tools like passwords, codes, and special locks on computers to keep everything safe.
    • Social engineering is when a trickster doesn’t try to break the lock but instead pretends to be your friend or someone you trust, so you open the door for them. For example, they might say, “I’m your teacher, give me your homework password,” even though they’re not really your teacher.

    The difference: Cybersecurity is about building strong locks, while social engineering is about tricking people into opening the door themselves.

  • Ah yes, the old "reading is hard so I ignore the facts". A classic.

    Maybe you could ask Apple Intelligence to explain it to you, and what's the difference between computer security and social engineering.
