Same! I’ve lived 3 different places in this city and this is the first one that had an independent fiber internet provider. It’s hilarious getting Comcast/Xfinity mailers advertising internet offers that are higher priced and slower than what I have.

Microsoft Defender exists for Mac? What?

On Windows, EAC runs at the kernel level and basically has full access to everything about your system. It only works on linux because newer linux kernels support emulating system calls in user-space (this might not be 100% accurate, but it’s the general idea).

FTX had over a million users, and was advertising publicly on things like the Superbowl. It wasn’t just rich people that lost money on FTX.

Now I really want a lego kit of a mechanical computer. That would be so cool.

That’s like saying HDDs will forget numbers if you store them next to a powerful magnet. Most SSDs have an operating range up to 70°C, so that hot room would have to be more like an oven.

Depending on the credit card system used, there’s various levels of fraud detection. Some stores use a point-of-sale system for in-person transactions, and those generally don’t need the CVV code because you’re supposed to have the physical card. It doesn’t stop some businesses from using the system incorrectly, allowing them to charge a card without a billing address or security code.

This is part of why credit card signatures are basically useless compared to a pin that’s required for all in-person transactions.

Okay, fair. Let me reword that: I’m baffled that anti-intellectualism is a thing.

It’s a plot on this graph 📈

It’s taken a while to figure out the meaning, but the reading I did basically defines “Woke” as generally being aware of the world and its problems, (Or in other words, not having your head in the sand). It’s baffling that the term has been used as an insult by anti-intellectuals.

Human language truely is a wonder to behold.
