Or they just didn't know how. Which is a distinct possibility. Some devices these days even let you share the Wi-Fi password through QR code or similar. So you don't have to enter it until every device.

I don't understand why they're considering a ban. People should be changing the default password on their router. If they aren't and they leak information that isn't theirs, tough shit, fine them. If they leak their own information, let them deal with the consequences.

Jack Black. Next question.

The point is that while there are definitely downsides, there are also fairly painless ways to use fingerprint blocking on reputable browsers, and that it doesn't "break half the internet" it just might have a slight learning curve. Just because something isn't just plug it in and forget doesn't mean it doesn't work or isn't accessible.

Didn't know this was a thing. Can't remember the last time I bought anything from Starbucks. But it's dumb and wasteful of people's time, including baristas.

Just about everyone I know who has the latest gen Xbox had trouble acquiring one. The pandemic messed up the launch of both games and the manufacture/availability of the consoles and unlike the switch and PS5 (which have worldwide popularity), the Xbox just never seems to have recovered because Americans went from a point in time where they had a lot more free time and potentially money (with the stimulus), right back to the grind with stagnant wages and housing crisis etc. Can't say I'm surprised that it's not selling well these days.

I'm still curious to see the actual proposal and other documentation, but I can't really refute this so, I concede the point for now.

There are not mere allegations. He is screaming it on every social media he has. He is literally labeling himself as a Nazi and screaming (all caps) racist nonsense every chance he gets online and in interviews. This same guy was trying to buy Parler.

Everyone keeps saying lots of people don't know, but I don't even follow West and long ago purged his music from my library and I see it all the time on the internet.

The problem I have is he does not divorce who he was from who he is now in this way. The memes (and literally any post written about him or that mentions him) inflate his ego and feed his sense of self worth. That's the problem with meming him.

More recent posts show him in a bad light and obviously hurt his feelings. But posts like this feed his ego and I don't agree with that.

It looks like the wealthy friend flew instead of driving down or taking the bus down with their friends. They're upset because it's just more useless pollution and a loss of time that the friend group could have spent together having a good experience.

Sweeping Cyber Security Order (www.theregister.com)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by atrielienz@lemmy.world to c/technology@lemmy.world
 

The sweeping directive, signed Thursday, covers a range of topics including securing federal communications networks against foreign snoops, issuing tougher sanctions for ransomware gangs, requiring software providers to develop more secure products, and using AI to boost America's cyber defense capabilities, among others.

 

"The uBlock Origin Lite add-on was also accused of collecting user data and running afoul of privacy concerns, which is one of the big reasons why people switch over to the Firefox browser in the first place. Hill [the developer] responded: “It takes only a few seconds for anyone who has even basic understanding of JavaScript to see the raised issues make no sense.”"

Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16 and also mutes the ad. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.
