The best way is to change our communities, even if that takes time and money.

I agree. I do wish they would use replaceable batteries outside the EU, where they are mandated, though.

Even if that were true, Nintendo is better than most companies, which will use deceptive practices wherever they are allowed, even if they have to pay to maintain multiple systems …

So, most C++ code I have seen in my forty years of coding.

If I am unable to play Minecraft any longer because I have to buy a shit ass XBOX, I will never buy another piece of software (or hardware) from them. My $5 in 2009 came with a gua…

Can you share more information? I just looked at their Wikipedia entry and they spent 2018- basically doing acquisitions. What were they layoffs you were thinking of? It's hard to …

My gaming machine is isolated and well protected through firewalls in and out. I don't store any sensitive information like payment information on them. Why can't I choose when to …

> I check for game and system updates on my Deck before and after a session and it just takes a few minutes at most. Right, that makes sense if you have sessions often. But, the th…

It's also why I always opt for 2FA that's within my control: a security key, TOTP, or an email address on a domain I own. That last one is the weakest, since I own the domain as lo…

> If those Amazon trucks are all full, and are making deliveries constantly along their routes, than more trucks doesn't mean less efficiency. Right but a truck could be full of no…

Only because stores that have large parking lots are in cheap land areas that are hard to reach by bus, bike, or anything except a car really. Where one can comfortably walk to a s…

Do most American's have an Amazon delivery every other day? It's not what it feels like where I live, but I might live in a part of the country unusually avoiding Amazon. While I s…

I agree the ship has sailed but I have no desire to make it easier for people to spam me or social engineer any of my accounts. If they want to send some crypto to some stangers on…

I am glad you want the world to know your phone number, but not everyone does. Since we still use SMS as second factors (or primary, as some in this thread said they don't write do…

And if you use an untrusted sync like Google Drive, you can enable a keyfile and never let that file lane on Google Drive.

But the phone number you have is not 100% in your control. I had AT&T flub something and I lost my number and they assigned me a new one (I was chanting my plan just after they did…

> I'm pretty sure 99% of the people on exposed have already had their names, phone numbers, email and physical addresses leaked already. This has nothing to do with the security of…

These days every company uses tech in some way. If the bar is "uses tech" then every company is a tech company and the category is meaningless. If you asked a layman to name tech c…

If you are going to include a speaker's child-naming prowess as a factor in assigning value to an opinion, you might as well just flip a coin, go with vibes, go with the one that m…

If you are talking about LinkedIn, I don't know how universally they are considered a tech company. Is any company that does its core business on a website a tech company now, even…

That's the reason I don't have an id.me account to check my IRS account. I just use their guest login to play my tax bill quarterly. Not sure how I will pay my taxes once they nix …

Not your key, not your crypto. => Not your key, not your data. Why would anyone want to encrypt their data and then hand their private key to anyone is mind boggling.

You met some odd Emacs users. Every Emacs user I have met is a strong proponent of personal computing and crafting tools that work for the individual. It's true that some have a ha…

That is not my experience. I had Claude add a variety of useful functions to my init.el as well as refactor it for easier maintenance. I now have a more useful to use and pleasant …
