I think you just described “business” in general.

Well that sucks. I am guilty of really only following Risa, mostly due to big gaps in my watch history and wanting to avoid spoilers for the newer shows. I’m not surprised though… Reddit had (and still has) tremendous amounts of inertia.

And now that you know, feel free to join us in the rabbit hole!

Successfully pulling off a lift-and-move like that was huge. I wish more niche/fandoms had followed suit instead of staying put.

I worked in a “datacenter” where the humidifier function for the HVAC unit was turned off because it leaked under the floor into an adjoining office when it was trying to humidify. Management refused to fix the unit due to the cost, and saw no issue with running the room with relative humidity in the teens all winter. Madness.

I got bit by this earlier in the year. I needed a smaller TV for the bedroom. I narrowed down the line I wanted. Target and Best Buy were the only two local stores to carry it. BB had the 2023 model, Target had a 2022 model with a sub-designation that was $50 cheaper. I went with Target because I didn’t care if it was an older model, just needed something good enough. Well, it wasn’t good enough, not even close. The color accuracy was so bad that the tint adjustment was useless — it was both too pink and too green no matter what. I dug out my old calibration disk and tried to adjust the color by isolating red/green/blue channels. The best-effort adjustments made it better, but still awful. I even connected it to the network (hardwire only, fuck “smart” appliances) just in case a firmware update helped. It did not, so back it went. Had to wait, multiple times in line and for someone to pull from the back, for like 45 minutes because they “don’t do exchanges” so I needed to do a song and dance to get the sale price on a replacement purchase. Got the replacement home, same deal. At that point I suspected it was leftover Black Friday junk.

Took it back and went to Best Buy. Spent the extra $50. Perfect color out of the box. Lesson(s) learned.

No thank you, I just ate.

You can make rules network-wide, per-app, or per-incident. The latter is useful for getting a handle on app behavior. Like if you see it contacting ‘updates.somedev.com’ weekly, you can choose to allow or disallow permanently based on how benign you think the app is. But more likely, anything trying to phone home has a dozen CDNs it’s trying to hit rather than an easily identifiable URL. Block one, it tries to hit the other. Maybe today, maybe next week. It gets overwhelming (which IMO is a feature for the dev, not a bug).

As a longtime Little Snitch user, it’s freakin exhausting.

I happen to like having the edges of my fingers or hand touch the screen inadvertently every time I pick up my phone. Bonus points if it’s unlocked and something unintended happens as a result.

In addition, his crotch goblin needs to GTFO as well.

Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.

immediately thinks of the alternate ending to The Butterfly Effect 🤔

That’s how they get you.

You and @BolexForSoup are part of today’s 10,000!

“We prefer to be called ‘housing providers’”

Landlords provide housing like scalpers provide concert tickets.

It’s more likely than you think.

Technology Connections on YT did a side-channel experiment on this very thing.

Normally I wholeheartedly recommend his stuff, but the side-channel content gets very long winded and rambling, linked video included.

I never would have guessed that Musk is a billion times worse than Lex Luthor, but the math is right there. Terrible.
