I missed that part in the article, I should have just searched for the word flood, woops

So if the tip is sticking out for airflow, how does it handle a flash flood?

Spacewar is the app ID for testing Steamworks integration without having an app ID yet.

Unless it’s a Java Minecraft server which I believe exclusively uses TCP still.

As much as I would like to believe that, these politicians have more than demonstrated their intentions and modus operandi. They need to be voted out and replaced with someone who will actually try to do the right thing even if it’s not such an easy talking point come reelection time.

Yes.

A bunch of states including NC are just blocking porn to protect the children but it’s literally the laziest solution with some of the smallest impact.

Twitch, Discord, and Roblox are far more accessible and arguably more dangerous in terms of short term consequences than porn because they are primarily social interaction platforms.

I’ve never seen Rotten or Liveleaks (at first I thought you meant Rotten Tomatoes that’s how unaware I am), but they could probably use similar regulation.

It’s not even that I think porn regulation is inherently bad, but the implementation is garbage and the claim to protect the children is extremely weak.

Social content sites are dangerous because of the opportunity for predators to easily encounter minors (especially age restriction breaking ones under 13), and violent content sites are, well, violent? They should be a higher priority but they evidently aren’t.

I mean I honestly think if they really wanted to “protect the children” they’d actually make COPPA enforcement a lot more strict (and also add in under 18 limitations), though I suspect that would be significantly harder.

There are a lot of places where you can get exposure to “bad” stuff as a child that are arguably more dangerous long term.

Well in this case the companies that should be regulated are the Internet companies in SK. 😂 Good counterpoint (not /s)

Where is the linked article? The only link I’m seeing in the post is to the homepage. Not sure if my mobile client is not showing me something.

There’s only one company I’ve found that makes headphone shapes that don’t hurt my ears and they stopped making wired variants years ago. Last time I got an actually authentic pair was ~2017.

The void they left behind got flooded by knockoff junk that isn’t worth buying (bought 2 pairs in 2018 trying to find a replacement, they were tinny garbage).

If I could find a wired version that sounded good for under $50 I’d get them immediately so I can stop dealing with Bluetooth connection issues when I’m on my computer.

I don’t have a headphone jack.

Even if I had one, I haven’t been able to buy wired headphones that aren’t crap quality that don’t hurt my ears. Last time I bought wired headphones (more accurately earbuds) they were tinny knock off garbage being sold on Amazon as a legitimate product, and that was years ago.

If it works it’s likely not supported officially by any carrier (this probably also applies to Canada and possibly Mexico), but it’s at least not for sale in the US. Not sure if it’s sold to all of Europe or just the EU/EEZ however.

I feel like you just made something up so you don’t have to like EVs.

1. The fact that this is your takeaway from my messages (in addition to your general tone) just shows you are trying to push a self-righteous agenda without properly identifying who are your allies and opponents. I abhor ICEs and would have bought an EV by now if not for the scummy companies producing them, and the fact that I basically do not drive anymore so switching my relatively unused car out for any replacement vehicle does not make sense. I’d sooner just sell the car and wash my hands of them entirely.

What a weird outlook you have.

2. Not likely subscription services and the car manufacturers tracking me is not “weird” it’s well justified. I don’t like my insurance company tracking me either which is why I heavily restrict the permissions their app has (and use a second phone for it). ICE and EV manufacturers have immense overlap and I’ve yet to hear of one that actually respects their customers and doesn’t turn their products into drivable spyware.

I don’t even have a way to rebut it.

3. Perhaps you should quit the contrarian behavior since you’re not putting in the effort to be one. You’ve already demonstrated you aren’t putting in the effort to read my messages by openly misidentifying me as an EV hater.

Subscriptions to use any part of my car and even more tracking than my ICE car are part of the product, and that sucks. I beg to differ on me being wrong, on those two counts specifically.

No matter what the stability, reliability, and safety are, the two things I mentioned are each sufficient grounds to not buy pretty much any of the modern cars, EV or ICE.

I’m not buying an EV not because of lack of infrastructure or lack of interest, but because the product sucks.

I’m not buying a gas car either for the same product sucking reason, and an active desire to never purchase a gas car again.

I have only had one charging cable “break” (the cable sheath separated from the plug sheath, it was still usable and had no exposed wires since they all had their own additional sheath) since I stopped using Apple/Samsung phones as my daily driver.

I think the issue is crappy cables that are then super expensive so that they can continue milking you for every penny you are worth.

You aren’t accounting for overhead (taxes that aren’t listed on an employee paystub, insurance, benefits, training, etc.)

The advertised salaries are closer to a 150-200k average which is pretty ordinary.

200k is also much closer to the amount they advertise in job postings.

Things like health insurance, etc. are yearly costs though and that stuff does end up adding up. There should also be some recurring taxes that an employer has to pay per employee that aren’t part of income tax withholding (i.e. doesn’t show up as part of an employee’s paystub).

The problem is that you can issue two certificates for one domain from two different CAs. Which one is valid?

If you only have one of the certificates, you also can’t know that another exists to warn the user that they might be connecting to a government-operated middleman.

The problem with a government issued CA being trusted is that the government can now issue whatever certificates they want for any website, and then all they need to do is force your traffic to pass through their servers first.

And no they don’t even need to make fake website clones, they have you connect to their proxy server which has a valid cert, then they have everything plaintext to save off to look at, and they forward the connection to the original website. Reverse proxy servers to accomplish this take minutes to set up.
