While I understand their point, it’s like going to the channel with the stock market banner on the bottom and complaining it is taking up part of the screen, where I would almost say the other 90% of the screen is the ads.

So many hours spent watching that as a child. It was either that channel or Bob Barker when I was on summer break

There is a large portion of the population that doesn’t know anything about how 401ks work. They are told their employer will take 3% or such out of their income and put it into a 401k account, and some part of that money will be matched by the employer (varying).

Those who don’t know the market don’t touch the money, it is invested for them. So it is very possible whoever posted this is among those people. It is not always wise on their end, but if a professional can lose money investing large amounts for companies like that, so could an inexperienced person. The annual report for 2023 for my company’s investments saw loses as well. The little money I had was elsewhere so I lucked out on that part.

I couldn’t figure out a way in Brave, it won’t let you set a custom URL for the default browser. Firefox allowed it to just change the customer browser link in the format of

Couldn’t find an APK to test vanadium, I assume it may be exclusive to GrapheneOS? (I just called it test for this, so name it something you’ll recognize in a few months)

Once the Default browser is changed in Firefox/chrome, their widgets pull that information from the app, so it just searches that way.

Yeah, the chrome one will convert.

If you set it as your default search in chrome or such, it will convert the Google search bar in Android to a SearXNG search bar. I started using it a little while back. Firefox never did well for me on Android (I’m sure it’s anecdotal)

Thanks for that, I’ll have a ganter. Need to spin up a new VM soon and figure out a new distro to play with. Been slacking on exploring new things. Mostly only played with Yellow dog (small enough to dual boot on a PS3 with 512mb of ram back in the day), Ubuntu, Debian for other things. Likely will look for something that will work well for a media server.

Is the 9 pertaining to permissions like chmod uses them? I’ll have to look it up sometime. Been awhile since I’ve ever actually needed to force quit something in a Linux os

Never used kill -9. What’s the difference between that and taskkill. I usually used taskkill /pid processiwanttokill.exe /f

It’s a tool, if you misuse a tool you can get hurt, if you use it right it can make your task easier. Ultimately it will likely cause problems in the future but the answer is easy, stop using Google and move to another search engine. You won’t get the responses from Googles ai then. Enough people do so, Google will change it maybe.

If you are going to cite textbooks anyway, why would you bother with a search engine?

Melting into the sea mostly?

Never heard of it that way. Why would it be called a hack when Mac OS supports dual booting natively? In my experience it was always about finding drivers that could support hardware not built by apple.

1 ghz processor, 4 GB of ram. 4gb seems like a lot I suppose. I doubt we can find a tv/monitor that won’t work with it either. Basically any laptop made in the last 15 years can run it. People just bitch about them wanting people to have tpm 2.0 to prevent others from being able to steal all your data easily.

When it comes down to it, Microsoft will get sued if they don’t prove they are trying to enhance security to protect peoples data. When they do so, they piss off consumers. Is there a better way to do it maybe, but we will always find something wrong with it. If you don’t have tpm set up, the drive encrypted, and your password tied to a secondary factor, anyone can access any of the data on your drive in minutes.

It has always been so, they have their product installed throughout enterprise systems where attacks on companies have been on the rise worldwide.

The truth is you can build a computer for a fraction of what you were able to 10-20 years ago because system requirements have stayed fairly steady while tech growth continues.

Buying a laptop for 179.99 dollars from BestBuy in the year 2000 would have been laughable.

What can it run. What 95% of users need. Honestly desktops and laptops seem to me like they will both be phased out of most personal use and will just be for business use eventually. Our phones are getting more and more features making it so we can connect Bluetooth keyboards/mice and cast to a tvs/monitors with a desktop setup.

Android is unix based isn’t it?

The 4 owls made me say nah, that’s not true, then they went to eating what appears to be metal swords, which I imagine have to be calorie dense. Never eaten one…

It does seem more effective to place some other form of markers like metal poles down up higher with bells hanging on fishing line or some shit, if you hit the bells, you’d hit the bridge. Place them 50 yards before the bridge
