From what I understand, the only way to mitigate the risks relating to IME or AMD PSP is to simply not have a computer in the first place. Like I’ve said elsewhere twice now, it’s worth mitigating some risks even if we can’t mitigate all of them. I don’t want the most advanced computing device in my home to be an astrolabe.

Like I said 6 hours ago, just because I can’t mitigate all of the risk doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t mitigate as much as I reasonably can.

My 3d printer is a fire hazard, but that’s no excuse for leaving a bunch of candles unattended.

You are correct, and it doesn’t change my stance at all. It’s still worth it to mitigate risk even if you can’t mitigate all risk.

Like, the fact that my 3d printer is already a fire hazard does not justify leaving a bunch of candles unattended

Obviously, but I trust my Linux mint laptop a hell of a lot better than my aunt’s XIPPLG branded wifi cat feeder that she bought off Amazon

None of them, that’s why the only things in my house that connect to the internet are my computers, game consoles, and cell phone

The fact that Google refused to restore his account even after the police that they called said there was no child porn pisses me off to no end. They are officially allowed to close your account for no reason other than they don’t like you.

Jesus Christ they’re like bed bugs

Is it too much to ask that my phone only contain the shit that makes it work, and not anything else?

fintech that handles direct money services

A perfect description

Cashapp is also sort of an entirely online pseudo bank. There are places that let you deposit and withdraw cash, but they’re like two steps above Bitcoin ATMs

I do know people who have these fully online banks though. On its own, it’s a lot less convenient then just having an account with a local credit union where you can withdraw cash for free, and I really don’t like that services like Venmo and Cashapp and Zelle are overtaking just handing physical dollar bills to each other

I mean I use Cashapp, but I could also not use it and my life wouldn’t be much harder

Can’t your purchases be tied to you via credit/debit card number? I mean obviously you can use cash, but I don’t see a lot of people using cash

Guess I’m getting nerd sniped. In the bottom right corner, we see

Where the question marks are squares we don’t know the status of, and the boots are where his feet are.

I actually don’t think this board can be solved. If we format it like this

We can see that 2nd square in the middle column must be mined, and that clears all three question marks in the 4th column. But one of the bottom two squares in the fourth column must be mined.

I suppose if the board extends farther under the grass than we can see, then it would look like this

and would be solvable. Now I’m worried about the mines that are under the grass. Do we even know how far the minefield goes? I hope he was really careful to mark where he walked so he has a safe path out

Humans are fucking wild man. We constantly push the boundaries of what’s physically possible. What do you need to make a nuclear bomb? Some hot rocks and some math. What do you need to send someone to the moon? Fuel, oxidizer, an airtight box, and math. What do you need to get cars and electricity to the majority of people? Massive sociopolitical change and widespread adoption of new standards. Nukes are way easier than cars and electrical networks

They also can’t amend the constitution via executive order or deport US citizens, but watch them try it anyway

USB-C somehow managed to be the worst “standard.” Hopefully the next big USB port doesn’t allow for so much variance. I don’t see why a specific wattage and data transfer rate isn’t included in the specification. I can scarcely believe they managed to standardize it so well that I can plug the wrong cord into a port and break something.

To clarify why lemmy.ml is one of the first results: it was the first Lemmy instance. It’s only the second most populated instance, but I imagine the relative age of the site (5 years, as opposed to lemmy.world’s 1 year) has something to do with it.

It also sucks that join-lemmy.org, which comes up before lemmy.ml for me, defaults to recommending random instances. It really ought to recommend making your first account at lemmy.world and switching to a different instance after you’ve gotten used to the platform. I know it’s not ideal to put all our eggs in one basket, and there is a reasonable effort to move communities away from both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, but for new users it might be kind of confusing seeing people talk about sh.itjust.works and lemmy.dbzer0.com and programming.dev as if they’re more or less interchangeable

You should go into Nier: Automata thinking it’s a game about a hot chick fighting a bunch of robots. The only spoiler you should know is that the end isn’t the end, and you need to play it again.

You should go into Spec Ops: the Line thinking it’s a game about a cool special forces team fighting a bunch of terrorists or something. The only spoiler you should know is that it’s supposed to feel like a generic third person shooter.

TBF, Warframe was far from a free-to-play tier experience, at least back when I played it. The Second Dream is still my favorite story quest in any game I’ve ever played
