Lurks on topics like security, privacy, repair & gaming. Sometimes comments, too.

The article does it right: test@test.com and other similar things (e.g: a@a.com) will throw an error the first time you put in a password and it'll proceed to create an offline account.

The people that go through the steps like commands and disabling internet are making too much work for themselves.

Hilariously, I find the Pi-hole feature "disable for 5 seconds" often works because it'll be down for long enough to load the page but not the ads.

The real reason Tim Sweeney's afraid of Linux.

From a repair standpoint, Brother are definitely the best option (that I know of). I do authorised repair work for them, and their support guides, technical support team and range of spare parts is absolutely amazing. The biggest problem I see is aftermarket toner wrinkling up the fuser of laser models, but that's not like it's something Brother's introduced to be anti-competitive slime bags.

I've got a second-hand HL-5370DW (from 2009~) that's been through the wringer of a medical practice - I still use it to print without any issue, despite the Web UI insisting that all the non-toner consumables need to be replaced immediately.

My only complaint about BCU is that its portable edition isn't a single standalone EXE. Makes it a nuisance compared to HiBit Uninstaller.

The inferior one was the winner after all.
…That’s right. Until the very end, Liquid thought he was the inferior one.
Yes, sir. I agree completely. It takes a well-balanced individual, such as yourself, to rule the world.
No, sir. No one knows that you were the third one… Solidus.

Thank you. Good-bye... ::: spoiler spoiler Mr President :::

awk is pretty damn solid. When I was completely rewriting the gravity.sh script from Pi-hole about six years back, it was easily the fastest for parsing and uniquely sorting content from files with a couple million lines. It made things much more usable on Raspberry Pi Zero hardware, since changing to another language like Python was out of the question.

Damn the USB-IF naming schemes be wild these days.

It was asked what "he", as a person, was up to recently. Not "What's the latest news on Michael Jackson?" as a topic.

That's the mistake that ChatGPT made in its response.

Lockdown mode was released as a countermeasure specifically against Pegasus the first time it made the rounds as it disables many ways that are commonly exploited as the initial vector point - mainly attachments, links and previews in texts, as well as certain complex web browsing technologies.

I've had Lockdown mode on since it's been released. I miss having 2FA code autofilled from text messages, and there's the occasional website that'll need to be whitelisted as it may display an emoji instead of a custom font... but aside from that, it's barely an inconvenience.

Your telco is always going to be a weak point in a scenario like this, but better that than your phone because a hostile actor sent you a text message that embedded silent persistent spyware.

IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSWING?!???

I'd replay the entirety of Automata again without memory, on PC plugged into the TV with a controller.

I loved Replicant's story, but E was a painful slog to achieve. Even B in NA was a delight because I could catch up on all the amazing side quests I had missed.

But does it ship with an NPC with a planet as a hat?
