Hello. I am a single, middle aged man from midwestern United States. Pic is not me.

  • You mean running my own VPN phone to house, right? Not a paid VPN.

  • Solid thinking. But how big a garden does a family need? And will you always be allowed enough water for it?

    My lawn is pretty much gone after the drought we've had for a couple years now. Not sure I'm going to re-plant grass if this is the new normal. And not sure how to know what the new normal is.

  • I was very aware of this "sharing" of footage when I bought my camera system and intentionally did not buy ring and other brands because I want to own that video. I went so far as to not connect my system to the internet which gives me less options (i.e. see it on my phone anytime) but sometimes privacy comes with a price.

  • IMHO increasing food insecurity across the globe will be one of the major issues driven by climate change. If crops fail repeatedly it is not gonna go well for society.

  • Ok.

    So make Tea in the microwave with plenty of salt.

    I got it. Brits, you good? Boffins? Cheerio, pip, pip?

  • Oh. Is there writing in Denmark?

  • You have denied access to Location Services for Wikipedia. To change this please visit your browser or device settings

  • What does the method matter?

    That's my point. If we're going to ban AI fakes should we then ban ALL fakes? Where do we draw the line and how do we do that without limiting free speech? I'm not sure it is possible.

    And the days of believing everything you see are over but most don't know it yet.

  • How different is photoshopped fakes from AI fakes? Are we going to try to bad that too?

    ETA: ban that too. Thx phone kb.

  • He should know.

  • I think I used self checkout once in my life. I very quickly realized that they're pushing their work onto me and never went to self checkout again.

    I also think those jobs matter. Not great jobs, sure. But they are jobs. I'm sure tech will eliminate cashier jobs someday but I don't see self checkout doing so.

  • Where is Harbin?

    ETA: China

  • Why do you want a toy made from REAL cat?

  • The shitshow of video streaming continues!

  • I just bought a microcenter brand 1 TB SSD for less than $50. Can a HDD compete with that on price and read/write speed?

    Also recently bought a gaming PC that does not have a HD, only a 1 TB SSD.

    I think HDDs day as boot drives is over. Unless they get a lot faster which I think is unlikely.

    HDDs are certainly useful for larger amounts of storage, though. Self hosting, data centers, etc.

    ETA: I don't think any of the responses read my entire comment. See the LAST SENTENCE in particular, friends.

  • I find Maya Rudolf to be quite hot.

  • Location services off. VPN on. Above average web browser.

    What should I do next?

  • English orthography is awful. Hard "c" AND soft "c"? Are you crazy? How about that "k" that is already the hard c sound? It should be "kat" and "kar". And it only goes downhill from there (or their?!?).

    We should clean it up someday. But we'll probably end up with LOL-WTF-speak.

  • Not sure how common it is now but some cars had a "hill holder" feature that would hold the brake for you when starting on a hill. Makes that whole process much, much easier.
