Not that I was buying a Porsche anyway, but I wouldn’t buy any car with built in Google apps.

I know, and I fully understand if you stay far away from PIA for those reasons. But like I said, PIA has proven (in court) that they actually provide anonymity.

I know this was all a big deal when PIA was taken over, and everybody was afraid PIA would be ruined. But none of that happened. Maybe it’s just a matter of time, who knows.

PIA has port forwarding and have proven not to log user data too.

Ad revenue in August was down 60% year over year, the report said.

Good

I use both and let the “arr suite” decide which one to chose. I mainly use torrents for international stuff like movies, usenet for local (Dutch) stuff like TV series.

Clickbaity title.

Mozilla has provided an update to Firefox version 118.0.1 to close a vulnerability that is already being used to attack Chrome users.

For the second time this month, Mozilla has to patch a 0-day vulnerability in Firefox that initially seemed to affect only Chrome and its derivatives.

Yes it’s being exploited, yes you should update, but the vulnerability is not actively exploited in Firefox as far as we (they) know of.

Holy fuck.

I was a teacher for a private company at 17. I taught kids aged 6-14. A couple of my students I had occasional intrusive sexual thoughts about.

She was 8, which was way below my AoA of 12+, and she certainly hadn’t started puberty. But she was attractive. She made me nervous, I thought about her everyday, I envisioned what we’d do together–she was just like any crush to me, only instead of an adult, she was a kid. But does that really make a difference? She was a person. What should age have to do with love? Eventually shit happened.

They even call it the pediverse.

Why don’t you host your own server? You need as much as NUC or Raspberry Pi even combined with a couple of harddisks or SSD’S.

Glasses

Unfortunately I cannot answer that question. Opticians don’t use alcohol to clean glasses, they often use white spirit to clean lenses. Alcohol can potentially damage your frame (if it’s a ‘plastic’ one).

Hot water can damage your anti reflective coating. It can cause it to come ‘loose’.

The rinsing is indeed done to get rid of sand or dirt particles which is the main cause of scratches.

Optometrist here; rinse with cold or ambient temperature tap water (don’t use hot water!), use dishwashing soap without citric acid if the glasses are really dirty, dry with a clean cotton cloth.

Lost lemmings

In other words, this only affects Chromium based browsers.

Maybe this would be a great addition to their HR or management department.

Not with updating the OS, but you said “updating their Pixel line” which is exactly what this is.

Philips Lighting is a separate company since 2016. In 2017 Philips owned 41% of Philips Lighting, but since September of 2019 Philips no longer owns any shares of Philips Lighting / Signify.

Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi with a Zigbee dongle and zigbe2mqtt. Your Hue bulb will work just fine. You can even mix them with Ikea / Aqara / Ali / Tuya stuff if you’d like.

Home Assistant is the way. It even brought my old Music Flow speaker back to life!
