They’re in cahoots with the frogs.

Congrats! It’s good to see some Zelda II love. It took me years to beat this as a kid, and you bet your ass I got some tips from Nintendo Power lol. To this day it’s still one of my favorite NES games.

I worked in a “datacenter” where the humidifier function for the HVAC unit was turned off because it leaked under the floor into an adjoining office when it was trying to humidify. Management refused to fix the unit due to the cost, and saw no issue with running the room with relative humidity in the teens all winter. Madness.

No thank you, I just ate.

All it takes is watching a few home improvement videos on YT to start the idiot ads rolling: bots reading screen text a la TikTok that boil down to “Doctors HATE this one trick!” nonsense. I’m never sure if the knowledge gained from the video is worth the brain cells lost to the ad.

The article does not clearly cite its sources. ‘Based on 1019 responses’ from who? Sydneysiders? People from the NT?

This uncited survey from a for profit company, with major shareholders being venture capitalists, asset managers, shitbags, etc. with a history of possible poll manipulation means nothing.

Was that edited in after the fact? Why are people dogpiling based on that first sentence and ignoring the rest?

Who educated them?

I think the most common answer for this topic would be, “No one, really.” Except maybe energy marketing/ads. You know, the folks that brought us “clean coal” and “fracking is totally safe and will definitely not bork your groundwater.”

American here. My ISP blackholes certain sites at the DNS level. Easy enough to work around, but it’s there.

Kbin doesn’t display federated downvotes (if it even pulls them). Any downvotes you see on kbin came from kbin.

“A HA! We knew it!”

Til all are one.

Thank you, CaptObvious.

…you know, your username makes it difficult to sound sincere when addressing you.

You can make rules network-wide, per-app, or per-incident. The latter is useful for getting a handle on app behavior. Like if you see it contacting ‘updates.somedev.com’ weekly, you can choose to allow or disallow permanently based on how benign you think the app is. But more likely, anything trying to phone home has a dozen CDNs it’s trying to hit rather than an easily identifiable URL. Block one, it tries to hit the other. Maybe today, maybe next week. It gets overwhelming (which IMO is a feature for the dev, not a bug).

As a longtime Little Snitch user, it’s freakin exhausting.

I happen to like having the edges of my fingers or hand touch the screen inadvertently every time I pick up my phone. Bonus points if it’s unlocked and something unintended happens as a result.

In addition, his crotch goblin needs to GTFO as well.

Not only that, but the item description tells you that cooking them has a cold resistant effect. The old man also gives a way to combat the temps.

Technology Connections on YT did a side-channel experiment on this very thing.

Normally I wholeheartedly recommend his stuff, but the side-channel content gets very long winded and rambling, linked video included.

I bet at one time they had a functional threshold alerting system. Then someone missed something (because they’re human) and management ordered more alerts “so it doesn’t happen again.” Wash, rinse, repeat over the course of years (combined with VM sprawl and acquiring competitors) until there’s no semblance of sanity left, having gone far past notification fatigue and well into “my job is just checking email and updating tickets now.” But management insists that all of those alerts are needed because Joe Bob missed an email… which there are now exponentially more of… and the board is permanently half red anyway because the CTO (bless his sociopathic heart) decreed that 80% is the company standard for alerts and a bunch of stuff just lives there happily so good luck seeing something new.

…I was not expecting to process that particular trauma this evening.

Capcom vs SNK 2 ate more of my fighting game hours than any other game, with the possible exception of SF2/Turbo/Super combined. It had everything I could ever want at the time.
