Nazis gonna support a nazi

Scam company based on misery says misery secret to happiness

Use a different print head, sections of print bed, or just entirely new print beds and you defeat this ‘tracing’

Exactly. It always seemed like something that would be broken and used as an excuse that it was my fault they didn’t secure their shit

I don’t think that’s true either, based on the reporting it’s based on a bug disclosed at a hacking conference in May. No clue how this is a zero day if it’s based on a 2 month old bug reported to the vendor.

Seems more like bog standard Microsoft fucking around and waiting too long to patch before it got used.

ha, I thought it was just a movie trope

I wish. My bank has been trying to get me to do that shit for years when I call in.

“YoUr VoIcE iS yOuR pAsSwOrD” - no, my fucking password is my password, and this voice print shit was an obvious security hole from day 1, which is why I always answered that I didn’t consent to their bullshit.

What’s easier in Windows compared to Linux?

Graphics drivers. I can’t say I ever had a graphics driver update in Windows that rendered my system borderline unusable, but I 100% blame Nvidia for me running windows until recently. I tried a dozen times over a decade and ended up back on windows when the Nvidia update trashed my system and I got sick of dealing with it.

On team green and running Bazzite with no issues

Never said it would protect your shit, just that it likely would be better in the long run for everyone involved. Its not an easy problem to solve but I dont think we need to treat people poorly because of it.

Just because I don’t trust those around me and use cameras doesn’t mean I treat people poorly. I am very respectful to the people who live and work around me, but that doesn’t mean I trust them not to take something that isn’t theirs.

Lack of trust does not equal disrespect, it just means I’ve seen the true side of a lot of people and don’t wish to let them take advantage of the kind of naivety that you display here.

I understand if its just not possible to assume the financial risk though

It’s not that I’m unable to assume the risk, I’m unwilling to be taken advantage of.

And just because an AI pulls up references, unless you do your due diligence to read those references for accuracy or authority on the subject, the AI may be hallucinating where it got the wrong information it’s giving you.

This. I’ve had the AI provide me vendor documentation that said the opposite of what it says the doc says.

I grew up around drug addicts, and in my experience, befriending them doesn’t protect your shit. I had my PS3 stolen by a dude we showed nothing but kindness too when he needed a fix. Don’t get me wrong, addicts can be super chill people, but they’ll still steal from you when they need to get high.

Friend, family or stranger, don’t kid yourself that they won’t steal from you

That’s a trap question, we’re all PFOAS filled.

What does a video doorbell connected to the internet solve? I’m concerned that people dont trust their neighbors to this extent. Sort of a canary in the coal mine type thing.

It’s not that I don’t trust my neighbors, I don’t trust anyone outside of those I personally know well.

Growing up around people who abuse hard drugs tends to destroy the trust you have in those around you after you have your shit stolen repeatedly. Both my wife and I had shit stolen from closed front porches when we were growing up, so I have cameras that watch the sides of my house. But I also built my system from scratch, so I am not worried about third party snooping/reporting.

Plenty of us have good reasons not to trust those around us. Especially in this day and age of terrorists walking around with state authority.

Curious how they got around normal ITAR restrictions, or if they just didn’t give a fuck before.

I’ve been considering moving to GOS because of all the Google shenanigans, but I need to make sure everything works since my job means I have dozens of MS authenticator entries for various admin tasks. I really want to try it out, but can’t afford to have to rebuild all those entries on a new system (and the notifications not work)

Right, the rendering engine is the same, that’s still not the browser. Again, just because it’s a derivative browser doesn’t make it the same browser.

They’re the same browser though.

They actually aren’t the same browser, since MS rips out some stuff and adds their own. Including features I like tree style tabs.

It’s a similar and derivative browser, but they aren’t the same.

There are more similarities than differences.

You can say the same about tons of things, but the differences are what matters. You and I share more similarities than differences, just like the browsers, but we aren’t the same person.

And also many people still believe that if you criticize their “meme browser” made by the cool “don’t be evil” company, you’re a Microsoft shill forcing them to use IE, that is buggy and slow

Which I find absolutely hilarious, as Edgemium is a better browser than chrome. I still use Firefox first and foremost, but at work when I have to use something else, it performs better and has better features IMO.

While I wouldn’t assume anything is permanent these days, I’d agree for the moment. I had already uninstalled Gemini on my phone (2ish months ago) and just verified I still see Google listed as the default assistant.

Aside from the fact that he made twitter (which I blame in large part for how our political/news media landscape, as well as modern discourse, has become so thoughtless), left and made blue sky, then left blue sky and endorsed twitter?

The dude supports a ton of toxic shit and can get entirely fucked.
