I'd be good if articles with dumb titles such as this one be mandated to be corrected. "S'pore" isn't a country, Singapore is.

But we aren't really.

@SaltySalamander@fedia.io avatar

The majority of articles I come across are exactly like this, needlessly drawing everything out to maximize word count and, thus, maximize ad space.

You can calculate the hash for your iso and compare it with Microsoft

Yes they are. Downloaded 22H2 ISO Thursday at work. In fact, with the correct script, every single Win10 ISO is still available to download, all the way back to the very first version.

Never buy .xyz

I just wanted to post this here because I want to help you all and hurt gen.xyz as much as possible. I had a .xyz domain through njal.la which I used to host jellyfin, homeassistant, and other basic things for friends and family. My domain recently became inaccessible without any notice. After a while of troubleshooting, I found...

gen.xyz controls all .xyz domains, even yours. Doesn't matter where you registered it.

I have no sympathy for someone who browses the web in 2024 without an adblocker.

SaltySalamander ,
@SaltySalamander@fedia.io avatar

You don't need adblock in any individual app. Run a whole phone adblocker. On Android, personaldnsfilter is the way to go

Sure those exist, but is there anything like a mod manager that works for those sites? Imagine having to manually manage your mods/addons for a game like Cities Skylines. When I played, I had well over 1000 assets installed. There's simply no way that would work.

This does a pretty good job of giving the necessary background to understand why Elon is being a pissy bitch about all things OpenAI.

HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware ( www.tomshardware.com )

On May 26, a user on HP's support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

The alternative is that BIOS updates simply never get applied.

Since probably 99% of Windows PCs don't run Bitlocker, I think your recommendation is a bit overblown.

SaltySalamander ,
@SaltySalamander@fedia.io avatar

most Windows PCs ship with "BitLocker" enabled

No, they simply do not. Microsoft branded hardware, sure. But I've never seen a Dell or an HP with Bitlocker enabled from the factory, and at this point I've put my hands on thousands of them.

SaltySalamander ,
@SaltySalamander@fedia.io avatar

Part of my job description includes repairing PCs. I see quite a lot of them over the course of a month. I also set up lots of new PCs for people when they buy them. All I see Bitlocker enabled on by default are Surface devices and the occasional Lenovo laptop/tablet hybrid POS. So I pulled that statistic from my own personal observations.

Netanyahu says deadly Israeli strike in Rafah was the result of a 'tragic mistake' ( apnews.com )

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a “tragic mistake” was made in an Israeli strike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah that set fire to a camp housing displaced Palestinians and, according to local officials, killed at least 45 people....

Period cramps increase in severity, bleeding increases for most people

The two women I dated that had an implanted IUD legit didn't have a period anymore. So not only was the bleeding and cramps not worse, they simply didn't exist.

You honestly seem to just trying to be pushing some agenda, possibly because you had a bad experience and you're assuming that's just the way it is for everyone, when the reality is it's pretty rare.

@SaltySalamander@fedia.io avatar

there needs to be an understanding wrapped into that that Hamas are not freedom fighters. Freedom fighters do not use starvation of the people

Israel is perpetuating the starvation. But you know that.

Definitely shows it working.

Hell, cars themselves are not idiot proof.

Yup, almost always, there's an idiot in the driver seat.

SaltySalamander ,
@SaltySalamander@fedia.io avatar

I mean, yes. I blame anyone who falls for marketing hype of any kind.

SaltySalamander ,
@SaltySalamander@fedia.io avatar

If you are in the driver's seat, you are 100% responsible for what your car does. If you let it drive itself into a moving train, that's on you.

SaltySalamander ,
@SaltySalamander@fedia.io avatar

Unfounded conjecture. You can't spout your feelings as if they're objective fact.

SaltySalamander ,
@SaltySalamander@fedia.io avatar

Congratulations. Want a cookie? People drive into trains all the time. You can literally find dozens of videos online showing this very thing.

SaltySalamander ,
@SaltySalamander@fedia.io avatar

Yea...that driver is a complete and utter moron who needs his license revoked.

SaltySalamander ,
@SaltySalamander@fedia.io avatar

But anyway, enjoy being confidently incorrect

👆 This is what we call irony

If Tesla is at fault for an inattentive driver ignoring the myriad warnings he got to remain attentive when he enabled FSD and allowing the 2 ton missile he's sitting in to nearly plow into a train, then Dodge has to be responsible for the Challenger being used to plow into those protestors in Charlottesville.

God fucking damn it, why do you people insist on making me defend fucking Tesla?!

When you think of them, you should think of Amal first

Then I guess she should have been in more award-winning TV shows and movies. Philanthropy doesn't generally make one famous.

Again, what would your response be? How exactly do you punish a nuclear nation?

afaik it's notoriously difficult to find streams things like fights and sportsballs as they happen

No, it really, really isn't.

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads ( www.techradar.com )

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

It won't. This isn't how WEB-DLs are produced.

Cancelled in '19. Haven't missed it.

who cares about Windows mobile

This isn't about a Netflix app on Windows Mobile. It's about Windows, the desktop OS app.

WEB-DLs are downloaded, via command line, directly from the source. What you're getting is literally what the streaming service would stream to you, minus DRM, nicely packaged into an mkv file. The only time they are captured/recorded is when the 1080 and 720 sources are dogshit, so they capture a 4k stream and reencode it with the settings of their choice.

SaltySalamander ,
@SaltySalamander@fedia.io avatar

Only very rarely, and usually it's a rooted nVidia Shield with a cheap HDMI splitter that strips HDCP from the signal. And those aren't called WEB-DLs, they're Webrips. WEB-DLs are downloaded directly from the source.
