Its demographic data; if the apps themselves have any access to it at all, it will be misused by advertising companies to see if they’re attracting kids (assuming people are actually truthful; i was totally 18 when i first looked at porn, trust me bro).

Chunked and roasted in either butter or beef tallow, with garlic

I think that one still exists?

Trust would have had to be earned in the first place to have stopped. My understanding of the US government was shaped by being raised on a military base in the UK, 9/11 happened but was never exaggerated or propagandized to the degree that it apparently was in the US.

It is a facade, but once a method is used it shows their hand, so they save exploits and zero days for high profile targets.

Yes. I can usually use brands to rule out some clothing, because X brand makes absolutely nothing matching my proportions (shoulders too narrow and pants too long are the main ones)

I got a good job and a car in my own name, and my parents started heavily hinting i need to move out. Sooooo worth it not living under the same roof as my dad: we can tolerate each other, even work together, but i don’t think its a healthy relationship. Nobody in his entire family can comprehend boundaries, and he’s the best about it (which is still not good and he can’t take a hint when it comes to locked doors).

Plus my own kitchen and i don’t have the heat blasting in what is already the warmest room in their house

'Kay. They do know these things are barely capable of being networked, right?

Id be questioning what else they changed that I don’t see

Ahh, if that’s the case, i have no sympathy for a fucking with a stock OS before handing it to the user. Nobody likes vendor bloatware

I feel like I’m missing something here. What do the manufacturers have to do with this, beyond perhaps including HEVC in advertising content? That’s on the GPU maker, AFAIK asus/acer practically purchase them from a catalog and build the rest around that size/shape

Edit: if its the licensing fee, that’s on the OS and/or end user, not the hardware

A tissue box and hand lotion: because i have serious allergies and always need a tissue and have horribly dry skin that splits open painfully, get your mind out of the gutter

Confident that it is bad at everything and mocks itself for being so

Stick a sapling in my guts and put me in a hole. That’s about it tbh.

Don’t keep things in your car if you care about seeing them again, that’s about all there is to it. By the time even the best alarm system is activated, the stuff they saw and wanted is already gone.

Saw a low speed car crash while i ate. So what do they do after they hit the side of a minivan hard enough to leave a hefty dent? Then they Switch drivers in their highly identifiable, heavily decorated car, and drive off. All of this in a highly visible part of a parking lot, under camera, in front of a dozen people.

My standard cycle for building is 5 years, and i just built (probably overspecced) with a 9800x3d and a 9070 XT. I’m sitting pretty for a while IMO.

My RAM kit is worth more than my GPU 🥲

Alcohol will also damage some plastics; i used it to clean a keyboard and keycaps, the keycap stems slowly disintegrated and split apart over time.

(IT support) Overall it should be more appealing, but its honestly more distracting for me to be at home, and i dont even have a pet or a roommate. Significantly reduced gas/food budget (i cant stand being stuck in an office without getting up and going somewhere else for a while, so i ate out a lot) is a major pro as well.

I kinda like the ability to actually get up and go look at a piece of equipment rather than just poke at it remotely through a GUI or command lines. People can actually demonstrate whatever issue they’re having, right then and there.
