Hey, you’re not op! Is another bot!

…

Oh right, I’m on Lemmy.

So I get a free car and the owner gets to keep the original? Like hell I wouldn’t.

Even in 2024, there’s still a lot of non-software (automotive) engineering involved in building a car – even an electric one.

Here’s a thought. You fuckers have my goddamn Kroger Plus card number, my name, address, credit card information, and a record of every last grape I’ve ever purchased in one of your stores. How 'bout, after we show up for the second or third time, you assume we might no longer need to be told to uSe piN PAd tO coMPleTe trAnsActIon?!‽ aaaaAAAHHHHHHH

Just the stock Pixel 7 ROM, sadly. I’m testing Graphene on my Pixel 6 and probably installing it on the 7 soon. There’s no actual privacy in this shitpost of a screenshot.

Almost an oxymoron at this point but it’s free with a Pixel phone so I had to at least try it and see how bad it is. Privacy issues aside… it’s down all the damn time.

Clearly I’m in even better shape with eight lmao

A friend and former colleague in the IT industry recommended them to me so I gave some extra weight to his opinion. Then he lost like ten grand USD in Bitcoin because he left a (default) port forwarded to a VNC server in his house, open to the public and only protected by a known compromised password… and after that I stopped listening to anything he had to say about security.

I agree. PIA is the only one I actually paid for and the one I’ve used the least. They’re only still on the list because I bought a 5 year block of time over 4 years ago when they had some big black Friday deal, so their app will soon be uninstalled. The rest are free or trials that I’ve been evaluating for performance. Thanks for the article, though.

And you’re basically supposed to do the same thing twice a day with your toothpaste, which is why the tube says “spit out after brushing” and not “make a little cup with your hand and use it to swish some water from the sink around in your mouth, rinsing most of the fluoride off before it has a chance to work”.

Wait, why do I even need an immune system if the bloodletting keeps the bad spirits out anyway?

This picture is raising my blood pressure. More than half of that shit isn’t even plugged in. And WTF is the Mac Mini that lost its original power cord doing without video or Ethernet? Being a wifi-connected server?

Can we all just stop for a second and appreciate what a crazy fucking time it is to be alive in this country?
