There was also a video a while back from one maker channel where the guy said that he got some type of nasty poisoning from breathing in fumes from ABS printing. Fortunately ABS isn’t as popular of a material as it once was, now that there are better alternatives, but I’m sure many of them still put out some nasty fumes.

Oh god, not again! I’ve already had like 8 Mtn Dews tonight!

Apparently they disabled that bypass recently.

I don’t know if installing Windows 10 and then upgrading can get around this though.

Home versions, which most home users have, force the use of MS accounts. They’ve patched the bypass tricks that people used before.

They’re suing because Microsoft got an exclusion from the Digital Markets Act. Google did not.

Rockstar has apparently bought FiveM.

Rockstar have already mentioned that they are working to get the game working on Steam Deck, and by extension Linux in general.

Shouldn’t be too hard since BattlEye is supposed to be compatible and there’s a BattlEye Proton runtime.

I’ve been using a Pinecil which is USB-C powered. It heats up in seconds and the temp can be adjusted easily. The big plus to me is how small it is. It’s so much easier to handle than a standard iron, and the tips are push-in and can be locked with a screw so they’re easy to swap.

There are exclusions to copyrights accepted under fair use which could easily be tightened if major copyright holders (like Disney) have their way.

It does. If the AI firms lose, the laws around copyrights tighten and major copyright holders profit. If they win, they get to do what they please and nobody can stop them. Either way, the public loses.

I was talking about Appx. I haven’t used Windows in a while, but that was how I got rid of Cortana. The key part was the read-only file named after the folder that couldn’t be replaced.

Windows does have its own command-line package manager. I don’t know if it can remove Recall, but last I checked it could remove Cortana. It would just get reinstalled soon after, but that could be prevented with some file-naming trickery. If you give a file the same name as the folder used to have and make it read-only, it couldn’t remake the folder and wouldn’t reinstall.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you can still do that now.

uBlock Origin and similar ad blockers stop YouTube ads. Occasionally YouTube changes something and ads sneak through until someone updates the filters.

Now that Chrome has essentially neutered its ad blockers, the only option for many people is Firefox on desktop and mobile, which still has a working version of uBO.

Ignorance is not stupidity.

Despite this being reported on tech news, most people won’t even be aware that it’s a thing because most people won’t actually read about it. And the majority of gamers probably don’t even know what a kernel is or why an anti-cheat with elevated privileges would be a bad thing.

Most people buy their computers with Windows preinstalled and probably couldn’t tell you if the CPU is Intel or AMD.

It’s ok to use google as a verb. Using the word that way is how it becomes generic, which is something Google would really hate. Not that it’s gonna happen anytime soon, but we can always try.

Out of principle, if I can’t block or skip an ad, I’m closing the window. I’d rather not use the service than be force-fed advertising.

I take public transit on the daily, and that’s just about the only place I can’t avoid advertising.
