noride, to ukraine in Russians bombard Putin with awkward questions in annual Q&A

My favorite: “If Crimea is part of Russia, why does my mobile network switch on roaming after crossing the bridge to Crimea?”

noride, to mensliberation in The Gendering of Holiday Labor

After reading the article, I came away with the opinion that we should be doing away with all of the pageantry of holiday gatherings, and focus instead on the connections we’re tying to maintain.

But that’s really the thrust of the article, isn’t it? The fact that so many men seem to not care about the appearance and presentation is the problem in their eyes.

E. Edited for clarity.

noride, to memes in Whatever, I'll use it and abuse it.

Newer OLEDs are also far less susceptible to burn in than older generations, I think much of the concern is still stigma from earlier models.

With that said, I’m sure I am not alone in saying I have a rather old OLED that I’ve just used as a normal every day monitor and haven’t experienced any issues in the 6+ years I’ve had it.

noride, to technology in Reddit appears to be blocking VPNs (unverified)

Your VPN doesn’t have the ability to strip user agent strings on HTTPS requests, this doesn’t seem VPN related imo.

noride, to asklemmy in What are your criteria for upvoting/downvoting?

Downvotes are for off topic or inflammatory comments, not for things you disagree with, in my opinion.

noride, to risa in Why does that man have a funny U shape on his head?

I swear to Apophis I can hear this thing all the way through the cold vacuum of space just by looking at that picture.

noride, to news in Investigation disproves Israel claim of Hamas tunnel under Gaza hospital

Sanad analysed satellite footage and archives of the hospital’s construction and spoke to one of the original engineers who built it.

That’s it. That’s their evidence.

noride, to fdroid in Why is there lots of money management apps being released on F-Droid lately?

Mint shutdown?

noride, to worldnews in U.S., NATO to Suspend Participation in Landmark Cold War Arms Treaty

Important bit:

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s move follows Russia’s formal withdrawal from the accord on Tuesday and longstanding Western complaints that Moscow wasn’t honoring the terms of the treaty.

noride, to abandonedporn in Whats left of some house near Joshua Tree BLM land

More copper wire left in those walls than I would have expected for Joshua Tree.

noride, to privacy in Fairphone 4 is making hundreds of unwanted connections per day, to the same addresses.

For what it’s worth, I did specifically say ecosystem because the TPM is just one component, which is required to authenticate the remote wipe. Also the drivers are installed automatically with most modern operating systems, it’s not like you install your own south bridge driver, for example. Linux of course notwithstanding.

I’ve seen it used successfully numerous times. Someone steals one of our laptops, rips the drive out, installs vanilla windows, and boom it reboots and performs a wipe.

Regardless, system-on-a-chip are just that, systems; they can absolutely make remote calls without user interaction, just as intimated by the comment you originally replied to.

noride, to privacy in Fairphone 4 is making hundreds of unwanted connections per day, to the same addresses.

That really isn’t entirely true anymore since the TPM ecosystem came into existence. I can remotely wipe any pc at my company even if it’s stolen and reformatted because a hardware chip will phone home the second a compatible os is installed and internet access is available.

noride, to memes in Add-on: same password, same identity.

Yeah, if you use your own password cipher, you never have to memorize a password again. Just derive it based on some common input value, like the company name or url. Makes password rotation tricky, though, and it’s a pain when a website won’t allow a special character you generally use, creating “one offs” that are hard to track.

noride, to linux in Troubleshooting an annoying behavior - Gnome/NixOS

I hope I don’t get flayed for saying this, but I actually had this problem on Windows once, and it turned out to be thermal throttling of the CPU. I was going from 4+ghz to around 200mhz and then it would shoot back to normal. Just needed a thorough cleaning of the fans and ducting.

Thought it was worth mentioning on the off chance it might help someone.

noride, to piracy in RANT: I hate the fact that my ISP can restrict access to certain sites

That makes sense! Believe it or not it’s actually easier for an ISP to block a whole country than select websites and services. We actually null route all Russian public IP space where I work, that would absolutely be plausible on a national scale as well.

It’s imperfect, you can get around it, but it catches 99% of normal users, which is the goal.
