I'm not an expert on this. But given that there is a forthcoming movie about his asshattery which is to be released in October I would simply classify this as a meltdown. Call it w…

Agreed. It's horrible and stupid. I actually run a service in the EU and I don't present that nonsense even with the risk of being sued.

I've had tinnitus for years. At best it's usually isolated to my left ear and sounds like crickets. At worst it sounds like a choir of crickets in a large cathedral. Funnily enough…

Honestly the best of times. I wouldn't be able to pay rent were it not for videogames which inspired me to work in the software industry. I wish we could get those days back. Cars …

Quake is 30 years old. I can't believe I'm still alive. I love this game so dearly. The mods were just incredible, KQP and Girobot in particular. Those were the for real LAN party …

Disable! Voicemails are nothing. If something is important it's delivered via text/app or email. Voice stuff is just narcissists trying to get their way.

The stuff does stick because it's literally connecting with humans who are hard done by and it's always affecting. It's really sad.

I used to bait 419 scammers. Weirdly enough I actually befriended a couple of them. That was about 20 years ago. They were full on and shameless but when exposed they became more h…

I'll take your point and rabbit hole it a bit sir.

No. The paper is about reducing a set, as far as I understand. It's not about mistakes. It's about the deliberacy of basically squeezing out the individuals who are vulnerable and …

+1 for the word Cringelord. I have taken this and shall use it on my journeys.

As a British person I find this to be very very British.

Fair enough man. I didn't write the paper no need to hate on me sir.

How so? For me the point of the paper is the elimination of the ones who will not fall for such a scam in the first place. The title of the paper says it all. Are we talking about …

Here's an amazing study from Microsoft which I recall from back in the day (PDF): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/... Edit: Recalled -> Recall

Computer viruses. Anti-virus companies making viruses happens to be one of my favourite conspiracy theories.

Damn I have one of these and it is still good shit. It's the best one I think, the Asus ROG OC edition sitting in a razer core x external GPU. I want this but does it make sense? I…

I'm down. How much?

If you blockchain your buttons they are much harder to steal. Just putting this out there for those who are not in the know. This type of crisis is easily avoidable.

I had my button stolen but it's not in this inventory. The perpetrator is still out there somewhere parading it or selling it on the black market. I'm still losing sleep over it. I…

It does 100%. Might also indicate use of psychodelics. Gotta go with the science.

Whale farts be deadly.
