  • Obligatory: you can improve your Windows experience by installing Linux.

    Non snarky comment: you can disable driver craplets from auto-installing using group policy or the registry.

     txt
        
    run gpedit.msc
    Computer Configuration
    > Administrative Templates
      > System
        > Device Installation
    
    Prevent automatic download of applications associated with device metadata
    = Enabled
    
      

    That will set the following registry key:

     txt
        
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Device Metadata]
    "PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork"=dword:00000001
    
    
      
  • LGBTQ+ expression is the canary in the coalmine. Once they suffocate that they'll move on to the next thing: women's rights, racial justice, political expression that isn't pro-capitalist.

  • Or a vegetable.

  • Your dad needs to step up his frozen pizza game. He needs to remove all the pepperoni before baking then rearrange them so he can slice the pizza without cutting any of them.

  • Narrow, old, and irrational!

  • The right to repair. It's going to require the ability to make changes to the software on the vehicle. At a minimum the ability to replace the public encryption keys used to communicate with the servers. The bootloader and software is probably locked behind signing keys; so you need to be able to disable or add your own keys. I doubt anyone has access to the full protocols used to communicate with the servers. So, the full technical standard need to be released (which is never going to happen) or reversed engineered through unencrypted traffic analysis and reverse engineering the software.

    A good right to repair law could require some of that be releasable while the company is still active or all if the company goes belly up. IIRC there was a smaller EV company that went bankrupt and there was a concern that once the servers were shutdown the vehicles would be bricked. Not sure what happened in the end. In any case, cars as IOT is the stupidest idea ever created.

  • Neat buuUUUuuut.

    Does Revolt have federation?

    As of right now, Revolt does not feature any federation and it is not in our feature roadmap.

    It's basically a bunch of islands.

  • I don't care if they are evil or incompetent or both. They're decimating the federal workforce which will have long term consequences. Some of which will be fatal and not just for Americans.

  • Yes, that's in the post title.

  • "I decided to donate the equipment I acquired with my own resources to the chamber," she said in statement on X, following a social media backlash.

    "Obviously, neither I nor my advisers need a toilet."

    I think she really needs it because she is full of shit.

  • Primer because Primer. (Video warning and some spoilers for a bunch of different films.)

    I don't know if I would subscribe to it, but it is one of the more interesting ideas for time travel.

  • I was hoping that would go away when covid stuck around. People still want to shake hands!

  • Do these designers not have children?

    Their children are furry and meow. But in all seriousness, I would consider it an engineering oversight for not considering how their product is being used in real households.

    Even I have to clean up when I miss; which happens max, max, 95% of the time.

    You miss a max of 95% of the time? 🙃 On a related note, most people are bad with percentages.

  • I only got one thing to say to those judges cancelling their retirements and it's thank you for your continued service.
