I have a domain name, and every service / shop / forum / etc get an email address unique to them. 1. [email protected] 2. [email protected] 3. [email protected] This serves several purposes. 1. It's dead easy to filter messages based on the address it gets sent to. 2. If the organisation …

Go for spiral every time! Even better, make it rotate and go for that "hypno" vibe, you'll have visitors hooks with the subliminal blipverts in no time.

The first question is, who is your "enemy" here? What you need to do to protect yourself from the average consumer is far different than what you need to do if some "Three Letter Agency" is involved. Any attempt to wipe a disk with a Windows OS still in residence …

My default position is to think most of media is either outright AI pulp fiction, or at the very least tainted with "suggestions".

This reminds me of the Ben Franklin quote. Anyone who trades privacy for convenience deserves neither. If you're OK with trading away your privacy for a few jelly beans, what about your security (which is largely the same thing). Super convenient (lack of) security is an all you can eat …

If you've tried multiple options on your end, then it's most likely your bank's infrastructure that's at fault. If you really want to peer under the hood, then use [Wireshark](https://www.wireshark.org/download.html) and the [SSLKEYLOGFILE](https://lihaifeng.net/decrypting-https-traffic-with-sslkeylogfile/).

It's a dumb trick which tells you nothing useful. One file copy later, and there's a chance the information is gone for good. Some archiving / backup programs also like to monkey around with file dates as well.

Totally unrealistic portrayal of cars. * You can park anywhere in a movie, and never get a ticket - but not IRL * You never need to lock your car - good luck with that * Roads are empty of traffic, unless it's a chase scene.

The problem with all these page at a time surveys are 1. They take way longer than the poster estimates. It starts as "a few questions for 5 mins", but 20 minutes later, you're still not done. 2. Inevitably, they'll ask for some "vital" information that's no business being asked. …

I was somewhat bemused by how it managed to spin out an entire page full of text from just 4 words - words which were likely only there to meet the minimum post length, since the question was in the title. With extrapolation like that, I feel we're close to …

If it's a simple fact that I already know the answer to and I want to just check it, then the summary is fine. If it's complicated, where there may be differing opinions, then absolutely not. The biased and often wrong AI can take a hike.

https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ But this is "demand" with respect to frequency on google, wikipedia, amazon ([list](https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programminglanguages_definition/)). Where it looks includes sites like ebay and walmart, which is just bizarre, as are the exclusions (github, reddit, stackoverflow). It seems it's just "who has the most publications". If you want popularity based on what …

"magic" monitoring? Sounds like "We have no f..king idea how this AI crud works, but it looks good. No idea if it's telling us anything useful, but hey, give us money!" Or maybe they're tracking what Penn & Teller are up to.

This is what happens when the technically clueless get involved. Nothing actually changes, but some trough-feeders get to say "Hey, I did a thing, vote for me again". "Accept" or "Deny" seems to have little to no difference on the actual function of the website in question. But maybe that's …

I've replaced the batteries in a couple of laptops, but that's more maintenance rather than upgrade. I have put a bigger HD in one way back, when laptop HDs were tiny compared to desktop.

It's becoming increasingly hard to find programs that don't keep pushing their AI boondoggles at every chance they get. Even more annoying is said AI's are generally still too stupid to be able to answer the question "How do I remove this AI feature".

Certainly anything on fakebook, instascam and shittock isn't worth the time of day to bother with. They're the equivalent of "Mos Eisley". Old newsgroups, especially the moderated ones in the comp and sci hierarchies were a boon of useful information.
