Only data that is not stored cannot fall victim to attackers. It does not matter whether it is a ‘nigerian prince’, Microsoft or some agency. Even if you completly trust whatever entity with your data right now, they may become problematic in the future.

This is why a low profile is a crucial component of OPsec.

Recall is objectively stupid, even if Microsoft only had their users best interest in mind. And they don’t.

Hello, I’m your boss. Saw you on your phone during your break in the video feed.

You’ve been asking for a raise for years. Unfortunately, you’re a really good performer, always on time, good worker, and I’ve never heard anything negative that I could base my decision to deny your raise on. So I watched the video feed to find the most minuscule thing that I can pinpoint as a “problem”. I was about to tell you that drinking water on the job significantly decreases your performance, but that post you made on your break is now going to be my reason. Screw you. I love money!

Sincerely, your favorite boss

Who’s “they”?

If it’s Urologists, like, those are the experts. If it’s someone on Twitter, they don’t matter. If it’s women as a whole… oh, boy. Dude. If it’s “the jews”, OH. BOY. DUDE. HOW EVEN?

Me: Can I have (small template parser)?

Stackoverflow: No, we have (small template parser) at home.

I’d love to say something sensible, understandable and concise.

But this post is like someone shouting “WHY DID MATHEMATICIANS MAKE THE √ SYMBOL TICK SHAPED?!”, convinced they’ve found a way to prove that 2+2 is not 4.

There is so much to unpack there. Properly responding to every explicit and implicit grain is like reasoning against a beach.

The innovation of DRM and Intels SGX extention is the reason no current-gen PC can play 4K Blurays in 4K.

I am unable to play any 4K Blu-ray I bought. Thanks, DRM and IntelSGX for that. And according to German law, it would be a criminal offense to circumvent the protections on the plastic disc I own.

I’m not saying I’d ever pirate anything. I’m just saying that it’s objectively better, cheaper, easier and arguably less criminal than my other options.

I don’t get why you get so much downvotes, because it’s not as obvious as people make it out to be and there are plenty of adapters. So it’s a good question.

But yes. The 3.5mm jack had the thing companies say they are striving for: simplicity.

DACs are nice and everything but the phone can just decide to not connect properly. The DAC can decide it had enough of your phone. In either case you’d need to reconnect them. And that means unlocking your phone, because a secure phone will block streaming to ‘unknown’ USB-C devices, unless it’s unlocked during the negotiation phase. And if your connectors have become wonky for whatever reason: Well, no music for you.

And then there’s the issue where you have to have them at hand when you need them. In your car, on your person, while at work.

3.5mm is great because it actually “just works”. One of the few things that can claim such thing.

“Ugh, why doesn’t this look more complicated?”

Edit: This was in response to someone commenting “Why does it look like toddler UI?”. The comment seems to be deleted now.

Fair point, will do… at some point in the future.

Edit #1: You people are expecting way too much reasonability from someone using emojis to login.

I don’t think anyone takes this seriously. It’s just fun to come up with the worst password policies.

Just imagine the error: “Sorry, your password could not be set. If you decide to include more than one animal, make sure they get along or include a zookeeper as well.”

Fucking brilliant.

The Interrogator: “You think you’re so funny… WHAT. IS. THE. PASSWORD!!!”

Edit #2: ICE is a type of train in germany. I mistook “ICE cars” as meaning trains and was wondering how flying is supposed to be more efficient than trains. Hence my confusion.

OG comment (invalid, see Edit #2): Where are these numbers coming from?

I cannot find any source for the 3-4l/passenger/km claim. I cannot find any source for the claim that planes are more efficient. Nothing comes even near this claim.

Can you please provide a source?

Edit #1: I just want to add that my old combustion car (VW Up! / Seat Mii / Skoda Citigo) burned around 4.2l/100km. So I according to you, if I had another person with me, I’d beat both planes and trains with what stands uncontested as the most inefficient form of transport?
