Quexotic,

Thanks for the introduction

Quexotic,

My wife stopped wearing a pentagram and we took down our love your neighbor sign, you know the one that has that same phrase and several different languages…

Turns out the Christians are too unlike their Christ.

Quexotic,

Wow. That’s really awful! I definitely feel some kind of way about not being surprised about that too.

Quexotic,

But if China sees chip making as a state asset, I wonder if, knowing this, they may now be able to prevent it.

Hmm

Quexotic,

They were exceptionally difficult to find to install the app. That alone will keep them from being successful. Add to that that the app is not particularly impressive… I’m not sure if their chances.

Quexotic,

Porque no los dos?

Quexotic,

Biggest difference in my eyes is that with a layoff you at least get to choose who leaves but in this case you only lose the best and most qualified.

Nice work Dell.

Quexotic,

Touché

Quexotic,

I found this app that helps to mitigate this issue. It disables fingerprint if your phone gets too far away from a Bluetooth wearable or in several other conditions. It’s worth looking into for sure though it is only in preview for now.

I think it’s an excellent choice for anybody that’s got to wearable. You could probably do all this with past or two if you had the free time, which I do not.

Quexotic,

Yeah. It’s pretty rad. I’ve been playing with it all day.

If I set my watch and airplane mode it also immediately locks the phone, but it also does that when it goes out of range. It looks like the app should work with any Bluetooth device so any wearable should work just fine or even earphones if you really wanted.

Quexotic,

Neat! I wonder what the learning curve is like on that.

Quexotic,

The white outfit is nice. I’ve played this game for maybe 80h. It truly was a spiritual journey for me too. It made me cry more than once.

It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Sky: Children of the Light - Players Offering to Take Your Hand (beehaw.org)

In Sky: Children of the Light you can let yourself get taken by the hand, and the other player guides/plays for you and you barely need to do anything anymore. Felt a bit absurd and funny, but interesting nonetheless. Certainly unique. It was also very good to eat some snacks and watch yourself progress while doing so. bee happy...

Quexotic,

I haven’t played this in a while I think I’ll load it up

Quexotic,

It’s been 3 hours so I decided to go ahead and look for myself and I’m thinking perhaps they are talking about this: pcmag.com/…/nordvpn-actually-we-do-comply-with-la…

Quexotic,

Clearly they’ve never heard of 64th notes. Lol

Quexotic,

Oooh. What are the others?

Nevermind. Found it

Quexotic,

Rayman Legends and Borderlands both live rent free in my mind. I don’t know how to feel about it.

Horizon Zero dawn comes in a close 3rd place.

Quexotic,

This made my evening. Thank you.

Quexotic,

Maybe I’m too much of a goof but I haven’t noticed any ads and I haven’t found any way to turn them off either. Is this only in the desktop version or is it also in the mobile version? Normally I just use the mobile version.

Quexotic,

They probably should be able to. They no doubt got compensated in some way for each game played.

Quexotic,

I am unreasonably excited for this. Got the free download of control, willing to buy the copy of control 2

Quexotic,

I was thinking Sony. Played it on PS4. I wonder if it they do it in a similar way.

Quexotic,

Zelda OOT. I’ve been playing it before bed to wind down. It gives me good feels.

Quexotic,

Yes. They thought they could keep skimming. The problem is that their (and everyones, really) business model is predicated on YOY growth and when it doesn’t happen, they fire people to try and recapture funds.

Quexotic,

Most likely an app updater written by someone who is too lazy to make their updater hidden.

As others suggested, look in task scheduler, but make sure you run it elevated. Focus on any updater that’s calling an app from a bat file, and move out from there.

Quexotic,

Honestly it can be really tricky to keep that crap from popping up and if the guy that wrote the install did it all dirty and didn’t hide his windows, calling a boatload of processes, it can be truly difficult for the guy that writes the updater to keep everything hidden.

I’ve been there.

Quexotic,

Wait for the next update cycle. Lol. I’ve tracked these kinds of things down in the past. It’s tough. Look into procmon and taskmon if it bugs you again, and godspeed my friend.

Thoughts on BOOX Tab Ultra C? (shop.boox.com)

Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I’m a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I’ve been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and...

Quexotic,

I would only get one if it also had a backlit display. Preferably amber

This article has some useful considerations.

Happy shopping.

Quexotic,

They are actually front lights. There’s a neat product demo type thingy here:

Quexotic,

www.redswitches.com/blog/ssd-vs-hdd/

This looks like an okay analysis.

Quexotic,

Not that I think you’re wrong, but why?

Quexotic,

Google at least has better OpSec. Microsoft security is rather swiss-like lately.

Quexotic,

Fuck!

Quexotic,

I will be honest. I didn’t read that article because it’s too click-baity. Using gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/ I see that Firefox is about 3% of 5b users. Not insignificant.

That 3% is about 150mil users. IMO, less than it should be. Google has great security, but terrible privacy. I switched middle of last year, from brave to FF for reasons I won’t get into here. Suffice it to say, they are numerous.

It truly is troubling that they don’t have independent funding. I, for one would pay $10/y for this service. Maybe I could donate?

Anyway, it’s a superior product in many ways.

Quexotic,

Firefox is Mozilla’s cash cow, it’s how they’re earning funds for their charitable work. And google btw isn’t the only one paying them, which search engine is the default depends on where you are.

Thank you that’s wonderful news! I don’t have the time to keep up on browser news like that so I truly appreciate the information.

Quexotic,

I can’t disagree with you. I feel like that’s the way of the world anymore regardless of platform.

Teslas Have a Minor Issue Where the Wheels Fly Off While Driving, Documents Show (1ft.io)

Tens of thousands of Tesla owners have had the suspension or steering of their vehicles — even in practically brand new ones — fail in recent years. Newly obtained documents show how Tesla engineers internally called these incidents “flaws” and “failures.”...

Quexotic,

I knew I wouldn’t have to scroll down too far to find this comment. Thank you.

Quexotic,

Into another environment?

Quexotic,

Why not?

As far as I can remember, that’s been the reason. All the characters I’d played as (Lara Croft and Aloy excluded) were male. Why not a girl?

So really, it’s just been for the novelty.

Quexotic, (edited )

I’ve never heard of this. What is it like? It sounds delicious. Edit: Thanks for the pic!

downloading gmails

my gmail account is full, most of the space is emails. I tried to download them through “takeout” and it has an option that says hey let’s split this up into 2GB chunks. And you select that and it sends you one 12GB .mbox file regardless. The 12GB download keeps failing and now it says you’ve already downloaded these...

Quexotic,

Can you offer more details? I want to get a backup of my photos and takeout is a fraud.

Quexotic,

Right? I tried it out with a friend of mine that has an Apple device, I have Android, and we were joking about Apple shutting it down within a few days. Lo and behold it took only 3 days.

Quexotic,

At this point it’s not even just that, it’s actually very petty and childish.

Quexotic,

Not long: techcrunch.com/…/apple-cuts-off-beeper-minis-acce…

It’d be nice if apple wasn’t so petty.

Quexotic,

Anybody else getting a TOS violation error page

Quexotic,

Anyone else feeling like all these platforms are being intentionally dismantled in order to prevent us uniting?
