No problem, just sell their user data for a premium so they can be advertised too in other ways. Its worth squeezing this one in many extra ways since, as you said, they've signale…

There was a post on here where some one mentioned a lot of people just install bike racks to block the plate and said Amazon sells lots of plate hiding stuff. I'd definitely seen p…

On slashdot's mobile website half the ads are pictures of infected toes or something. I don't even know what they're trying to sell.

Can these people in the US get a special dispensation on their new cars? https://www.kbb.com/car-news/new-law-will-require-in-car-bre...

Microsoft actually used the disk encryption scheme by default in early versions of bitlocker. They had to backtrack because the disk encryption implementations were found to often …

I was sort of surprised to find that standard crypt-setup in linux actually supports opening true/veracrypt volumes. It doesn't support creating them as near as I can tell though.

I thought that was also the version that isn't available for retail sale to individuals.

Kind of unfortunate timing as I recently decided to make it a priority to upgrade a VM Windows 7 install this way. I actually started the process a week before the deadline but ran…

The actually had Russian in the beta add-on version. I wonder if there is still a way to add it back. It was the most useful language, but I agree about Chinese.

I've been using the browser add-on for this feature. Did they merge it into the main browser then? My only complaint about it really is that it has no Asian languages.

Doesn't Amazon prevent you from selling on other stores for a lesser price? I always thought that was a galling scam and couldn't understand why it was even allowed at all.

Apparently product dumping isn't illegal if you do it on the internet. This wasn't even a fuzzy digital goods or services example either.

It could be used to hunt down reporters and whistleblowers if the cameras have to be purchased with an ID. So the very people who would benefit might be forced to strip this extra …

One unexpected issue with digital media is changing manufacturing quality and an inability to identify it until it is to late. Early stage floppy disks and CDs actually were pretty…

If some people attempting to use Bing to create erotica or gory images of a historical figure causes the figure to be erased from the data set this thing is doomed.

I wonder what will be left when they have removed anything potentially dangerous or offensive. Maybe just advertisements. But advertisements for competitors products are also offen…

Bizarre they would make room in the specification for a DOA misfeature no one is going to use and everyone hates. Why not remove it from the spec and place the requirement of synch…

> I personally feel safer that passkeys aren't sync'd across multiple vendors' products. Last time I checked into these hardware attestation was part of the specification but the a…

My understanding is that GPT can't actually be used to port a game to sell, ostensibly it is for proving out performance possibilities available from when you do port your game (to…

It bothers me a bit when I see the narrative on here that the introduction of the Steam Deck changed everything for linux gaming, but really it is a culmination of steady ongoing w…

And then manually applying them. If the game was old enough you might need to apply multiple patches, something you'd have to figure out. I definitely had mixed feelings about Stea…

It does seem like Amazon has bought up rights to a lot of older content.

Just get some of the many RF controlled switches available on amazon. Many of them you don't even need to do any wiring to use them.

Seems like cheap auto off timers and simple motion detector lights would solve all those problems with 1970s technology and no network connections at all.
