Unfortunately in my country HBO was only available as an add-on, so you'd need an expensive cable subscription you didn't want and then pay extra for the concent you'd actually wanted to see. Pretty bad deal.

When I moved out my first decision was to not get cable anymore. Streaming wasn't even a factor in that decision as Netflix was only just starting here. I just didn't care about all the drivel broken up by increasingly long commercial blocks. Lack of quality killed TV for me, not streaming.

I seriously doubt if the radiation perv scanner doesn’t get people to do anything

You mean the backscatter X-ray units that have already been phased out 10 years ago?

The modern milimeter-wave scanners both do not reveal anything and do not use ionising radiation. If radiation is a concern to you, you really shouldn't be flying at all to be honest. The dose you get up there is much higher than you'd get from an X-ray scanner, although it is still negligible.

My laptop refuses to go beyond 30hz on 5120*1440, so Wayland and X11 both feel laggy. But at least X11 is stable, can't say the same for Wayland, no matter how much I want to like it.

If it's written in the law, it's lawful. You can of course (and should!) debate about the morality of the diverse forms of lawful interception, but a blanket statement like '"lawful interception" is a fallacy', is a fallacy in of itself.

Yes, they can indeed be a problem for people with allergies. In my case dogs (and cats unfortunately) trigger respiratory issues. I had that issue at a workplace where dogs were allowed, not fun times. And unfortunately medication like antihistamines are not an option for everybody, personally I get extremely drowsy from them, even from the latest generation meds.

That is where DNS over TLS and DNS over HTTPS come in. 🙂

"You're not being sacked, no, we are releasing you into a world of opportunity!" Yes, a friend of mine actually heard that one a while ago when he was 'let go'. 🤨

I work with Linux on a daily basis, both as a server OS and a desktop OS. Unpopular observation perhaps, but I've yet to find a distro which provides a more stable desktop experience than Windows 11 does for me. I do enough Linux troubleshooting during the day, after work I just want something that works.

For GNU tar it is, for any other version I would not be so sure. Especially when disabling an atomic bomb.

Isn't dendrite formation and the shorts they can cause a much bigger concern when dealing with old batteries that are being charged 24/7? Asking a genuine question here, so please don't shoot me if I'm wrong. 🙂 I'd love to hear more about the most common failure modes and causes for li-po/ion batteries.
