This 100%. I’ve worked in some sort of IT all my life. It took what I lived and turned it into a job.

I’m shocked (haha pun) that it still worked but it did.

Also the cord from the power supply to the outlet ran next to the sink.

I was once so broke that I couldn’t afford a case for a computer I had.

So I brought my computer to a LAN in a trash bag and set it up on the host’s electric stove.

We’ve been explicitly told at work to be courteous when asking Copilot for help because it gives better answers that way.

For everyone who isn’t trying to mine crypto, yeah.

I turn off Folding@Home in the summer. Otherwise it’s on 24x7.

I have thought of this exact thing and thought I was the only one.

First, ass world. Then die mart.

My only regret is that I have…boneitis!

My cat actually likes this, so long as I’m not clean shaven.

PBS here has ads. They are short, but there are ads nonetheless. This is over and above the ads for their own shows that will be on the channel at a later date.

I heard tell from a Gen Xer who said cable TV used to not have ads.

The Supreme Court did pretty much read out that 3rd section.

I got big time Ferengi vibes from that comment.

It’s porn if the state wants to harass you for something.

I’m not trying to disparage anyone who likes Linkin Park, but my opinion is that, in general, alt rock from the late 90s through the early 00s has aged really poorly. I used to listen to that music a ton when I was in high school and college, but I don’t anymore.

The climate activist thing they did pursuant to a warrant, which every company will do, and the only thing of interest they turned over was the person’s recovery email…which was personally identifiable. From there the authorities got everything else. IIRC, they got access to the person’s iCloud. None of the person’s emails or anything like that was given out. If you are strictly concerned about privacy you shouldn’t use a recovery email so that your login can’t be tied back to you.

As far as the service, I am using Mail and Pass daily and like both. I use the VPN and Drive sparingly, but I have enough space on it to stop using my Google Drive. Calendar is useless for me because of the lack of CalDAV support… and also because I can’t have many calendars on the free plan.

It hits the sweet spot between privacy and ease of use for me. YMMV.
