And in rural areas, it’ll be called “skeet shooting with prizes”. I know exactly what my redneck neighbors are like…

FWIW, I’ve used privacy.com a few times. Works pretty well.
It’s coming. Slowly. But it’s coming.
You are a fucking hero. I couldn’t figure out why my Roku TVs were still able to get ads after blocking everything.
No online store. I just do it as a hobby. Feel free to dm me whenever.
There’s a pen sub? I was on r/penturning on that other place.
The bolt action is wenge with a oil/wax blend friction polished finish. I’m asking $100 for it with free shipping to anywhere in the continental US. It comes with a free black faux-velvet sleeve for safekeeping.
I will ship internationally, but that’s not included, sadly.
I still have the third one available. I’m asking $50 for it, with free shipping to the continental US. It’s padauk, canarywood, katalox, and leopardwood with an aluminum inlay and a cyanoacrylate finish…
Bruh. I make pens as a hobby. Happy to make and ship you one.
I still have the three on the right and the third from the left on hand. Can also make whatever.
The stripey one, second from the right is recycled skateboard deck. Those have been really popular. I’ve got a big ol’ stack of skateboard decks ready to go to make more of them :D
Web developer here. A “cookie” is just a piece of information stored on your machine. A cookie can be a setting, saved app data, or a tracking id.
The reason you keep seeing the banner is because by saying “no” to cookies, you’re telling them they don’t have permission to store ANYTHING on your computer. Which is fine. Your computer your call.
But if they can’t store anything on your computer, there’s no way to remember that setting next time you come to the website. No local setting storage means they don’t have the stored “no cookies” setting to load. Likewise there’s no tracking id they could potentially look your setting up in their own database by.
Web site requests are “stateless”. That means that, to a web server, each and every single request to a server is its own brand new, separate connection with no link to any other connection. The only way to share data between individual requests is via some kind of stored “state”. That state can come from your computer in the form of cookies, or from the server in the form of sessions. But linking a connection to a session requires your computer providing a session id; and guess how your computer has to store a session id? If you guessed “in a cookie” you win.
Are cookie popups annoying? Oh holy Christ yes, both from a web user standpoint and from the stand point of having to implement them as a developer. But by outright rejecting cookies (and/or auto-wiping your cache/cookies when you close the browser), you’re telling the website it’s not allowed to store your preferences for not having cookies and eliminating the websites ability to recall that preference at all.
So only charge it to 80% and pretend 80% is 100%, like iPhones do. Why is that a concern?
I mean, US Cellular had a free battery swap program for a while. If you were a subscriber and your phone battery was low, you could go into any store and they’d swap you out for a fully charged battery for free. I presume they just ate the cost of damaged or degraded batteries as part of it. I only used it a couple times, but it was kinda nice.
In one age, called the third age by some, a windbag rose in the west. This windbag was not the first, nor would he be the last. There are no first or last windbags in the wheel of bullshit, but he was A windbag.
Open source hardware is a thing. See: raspberry pi, pine64, etc.
In hardware, open source means the schematics are available and the device is built with commonly available components; eg: no proprietary chips, standard discrete components, pcb schematics and plans available.
I love how this was somehow both the next line of the song AND snarkily correcting their spelling.
I have an older Roku tv. I recently got a nice roku streambar and hooked it up to the older Roku tv.
The tv displayed a popup with a message along the lines of “Oh hey, we see you connected a newer Roku device. No worries. Well just use it instead of the older built in one and you’ll never know the difference.”
More of this please.
I recently saw a 94 corolla with like 2400 miles on it while car shopping online. I guess it just got bought, parked, and forgotten about. It was in spectacular condition.
It was also $26,000.
The pcb footprint isn’t the same. Changing the port isn’t as simple as just soldering this one instead of that one. The pins are in a different order. Changing the port requires redesigning the PCB that the port attaches to. In a larger device, maybe you could create some kind of internal adapter that can solder to the lightning footprint but provide a usb-c port, but there’s just not enough room in a modern phone.
Plus, even though the USB portion of the circuitry may be the same, the port does more than just provide a usb interface. There’s also headphone functionality and other things on there that have to be adapted too, or the phone will have less functionality than it did and people with bitch that apple broke their headphones when they changed the port over.
Fuck yeah, public transit - Right in my veins, lets go.
But for right now, there is ZERO public transit infrastructure where I live, which is only about 20-30 minutes to a medium-sized city’s downtown. And when I say ZERO, I mean ZERO. We don’t even have busses here. No trains. NOTHING. We don’t even have sidewalks on most roads - if you want to walk, you’re literally walking in the road. I used to ride a bike to work a long time ago - I can’t even count the number of times I’ve had shit thrown at me by shitbag rednecks as they zoomed past in their lifted pickup trucks.
The local governments’ answer to all this is “If you don’t have a car, fuck you.” Cars are literally the only option. If you don’t have a car or a driver’s license, you better find somebody who does and give them gas money, or consign yourself to paying for Uber/Lyft anytime you want to go anywhere. It’s straight-up dangerous to travel any other way around here.
