    A Protester Threw a Snowball. Federal Agents Responded With Tear Gas and Pepper Balls.

  • Stop calling them federal agents. They are, by legal definition, domestic terrorists.

    The Department of Homeland Security defines terrorism as a premeditated threat or act of violence, against persons, property, environmental, or economic targets, to induce fear or to intimidate, coerce or affect a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof...[1]

  • Sounds like an improvement to me.

  • Easy check, grab a voltmeter and do it yourself.Pull the plug, set voltmeter to AC, and read the voltage across the prongs. If you get anything over the usual float voltage you get from just holding the probes ungrounded, then you have a problem.

  • Redundancies and failsafes are always a best practice in engineering work. This is no different.

  • Connected cars can be hacked, research finds

    Jump

  • I mean, yeah? You give anything a connection to a global network with billions of people, and there will always be a chance for it to be exploited. Hell, even my personal OpenVPN instance for remotely accessing my home servers has to fend off attacks.

    This is why my next vehicle will be a slate truck. Zero internet connectivity by default, and updates can be done via USB-C from a phone (which can be vetted as needed).

  • At the one gas pump in my town that does it, it's the second or third button on the right side of the screen.And if they ever patch that, I'm filling the speaker holes with spray foam.

  • I was quite out of the loop, but it sems like TeamSpeak 6 is now a full fledged self-hostable Discord alternative? TeamSpeak 6 Is Back: New Design, Screen Sharing, and More

  • Yep, still only TS3 for the servers.

  • Have they released the server parts of TS6 yet? Last I checked, it wasn't available on the download page.

  • Group of protestors used leaf blowers to basically blow the tear gas clouds right back at the agents.

    Personally, I'm wondering if I can scale it up with a battery backup unit and a floor drying fan.

    Jump

  • I vaguely recall some college students making a suppressor for leaf blowers, and it was effective without significantly reducing power.

  • Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore

    Jump

  • You tried the usual tools, found they were insufficient, and subsequently made a workaround for your needs. That last bit alone is more enough. Most people stop at "It didn't work" and give up saying computers are too hard.

    I always say, if your problem looks like a nail and can be held like one, don't force yourself to use a frozen chicken breast. Grab the hammer.

  • Bay Area homeowners are hiring a sword-wielding man to help them kick squatters out of empty properties: ‘The average squatter has no melee experience’

    Jump

  • ...with professional-grade tactical gear.The gear includes firearms, ballistic full-body armor, flash bangs and smoke grenades, tear gas...

    Where the fuck are you sourcing explosives and tear gas as a civilian, and more importantly...Where can I get some? Purely for home defense, of course. Definitely not wanting it for defrost purposes.

  • Tor Project received $2.5M from the US government to bolster privacy

  • That's just bureaucracy in general. Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, until it receives an after action report, signed in triplicate, two months after that knowledge stopped being useful.
