That’s the highest Scoville rating I’ve seen on a USB stick

Yeah other commenter was incorrect. They’re sold with only a basic collection of first-party apps (even the carrier locked devices, so far).

To get one with third-party apps pre-installed requires special provisioning meant for employee work phones. (If you come across one of these in the wild, ask the seller to reset in front of you. If the bloatware remains, odds are the device was recently stolen.)

Not all but most, yes. But TBF, sites that still function with JS disabled tend to have the least intrusive telemetry, and might pre-date big data altogether.

Regardless, unless the extent of a page’s analytics is a “you are the #th visitor” counter, all countermeasures must remain active.

Mmm, understood. Antiheroics are especially well-regarded. I’ll be sure this is accurately reflected in the report.

In case you’re wondering about the downvotes, using any search index verbification other than “Google” demonstrates greater techno-activism than pointing out that DDG uses the Bing API. Your effort has been noted, however, and will be evaluated at the next summit.

Oh, but if you mean from different SSIDs then checkout load balancers like Speedify.

We can and have. It’s Multi-Link Operation (MLO) which was part of WiFi 7 standards. Here’s how it works.

My router has it and it is indeed quite fast, but it’s new technology. There are currently very few client devices that support MLO.

Same (AdGuard) I meant like I’d consistently get all of the first page of results linking to hyper SEO clickbait sites / AMP links / Adsense affiliates (think multi-page/gallery/click-through articles and low quality content farm sites like CNET, Forbes, Quora, etc) with a smattering of straight up keyword banks, snippet aggregator spam, and chatbot articles full of longwinded made-up nonsense with zero payoff.

Even more annoying was that Google started dumbing down all my searches, regardless of technical detail and specificity, just railroading me into simplistic drivel. Eventually verbatim/quotes syntax stopped working also, and that was the end of google’s usefulness to me.

Did they fix it? Last I tried it, all I could get was sponsored content and LLM spam.

Cornucopia (Latin: “horn of abundance”) is an old symbol of plenty.

But yes, I imagine this shot was chosen for its suggestive framing to congratulate the hackers for bullying the bullies.

Agreed, the virtue of a living language is change. I don’t always agree with the change but over time it makes language more expressive. A recent example is the word aesthetic used as a standalone adjective, as in “that’s so aesthetic.” While it strikes me as painfully meaningless — which aesthetic? — it’s common enough now to have been widely adopted as a general marketing term. That’s become an accepted use of the word, and so be it. I’d welcome the ability to more easily indicate tonal shift inside sentences, the way we do verbally. Just need it to become popularized enough.

IIRC “something so damned simple” is a fragment or dependent clause, unless “[it is]” was somehow implied, in which case an em dash may be more appropriate. A simple comma might also suffice, since the clause modifies “this” from the next phrase.

Concur. Most FERPA violations are similarly mundane snafus.

I think you can also register 10 years in advance, or maybe more depending on the registrar, which would cover all other potential snafus like expired card info.
