I’m fairly certain that “Turn the freakin’ frogs gay” is a side effect of cell towers. If you open the main compartment on a tower, it’s just three buttons labeled:
Cancer - default setting
COVID - 2020 ‘Hard Mode’ feature
Rainbows - Gary in R&D was fired since this option made everyone gay (frogs too)
I’ll point out that since most people stopped getting COVID boosters that the second option doesn’t do much anymore. We all know the boosters had extra microchips since they naturally degrade in our systems over time.
It’s worth noting that you can also use the terminal to download all the data captured by your local “birds”.
I’m wondering if there’s a service out there that can scrape sites to determine if you have an account tied to your email(s) and subsequently delete them. The deletion would be amazing, but I’d settle for something that just confirms if there are sites out there I never tracked my login against....
In my experience, the C-Suite dicks will put the hammer down on someone and maybe fire a couple of folks. They’ll demand a summary of what happened and what will be done to stop it from happening again. IT will provide legit options to resolve this long term, but because that comes with a price tag they’ll be told to fix it with “process changes” and the cycle continues.
If they give IT money that’s less for themselves at EOY for bonuses so it’s a big concern /s
I use ad blockers and open source privacy focused software whenever I can but occasionally I have to use computers that don’t belong to me or an older phone where my usual applications aren’t installed and seeing all the advertisements just feels dirty and dystopian....
Those ads bother me more than most because It’s entirely false advertising. Nothing shown in those ads for the most part reflects the actual gameplay in any way shape or form.
There was somebody who actually released a mobile game that has all of like the fake game mechanics from all the advertisements that you see on those ads and it’s awful but really funny lol
I’ve worked at many financial institutions and government agencies, and they all have extremely old mainframe systems running COBOL. Every time the executives bolster “We’re finally going to move off of this old system and modernize”, I show them the price and they scamper off into their back rooms to whine about profit margins. It’s always fun when something does go wrong with those systems and they go through the cycle all over again, but now it’s even more expensive to fix
Not every gamer cares for PC gaming, and not every gamer really cares about 30 vs. 60 fps, or being able to stream 4k on an 8" screen.
I’m more than happy with my PS5, and Nintendo Switch. I’d be pumped to be able to stream any of my PlayStation games to a device like this while I travel for work. I don’t have as good of an experience using PS Remote Play on my phone or laptop, so this seems like a slam dunk for me.
If I could also get the ability to disable internet search results from the start menu that’d be great. So sick of looking for a file or app, hitting enter a second too soon, and having Edge slowly eat my resources to display a Bing search result that I never wanted.
