Yeah it's pretty wild how bad search results have been lately. The unfettered proliferation of AI bullshit on the internet is gonna have some really goddamn irritating impacts on just about everything I think.

Oh interesting, thanks for the clarification
Yeah zips have no mechanism to prevent brute forcing as far as I'm aware. You can attempt as many passwords as you want as frequently as you want without any sort of rate limit.
Most decent new cars don't have any major issues that would strand you on the side of the road for the first 10 years
Yeah it probably is in terms of an off the shelf, purpose built option with no tinkering. They're pretty snappy as well. Decent hardware in there it seems.
We have an ATV but our wireless network is kinda shit and we kept having connectivity issues between the ATV and the Plex server we were running on the Mini so we just went all in on running the Mini as the media player and Plex server in one to avoid it. Bonus was that we now have a very capable console game emulator hooked up to the TV too. Also we just ditched our last streaming subscription so all we were using the ATV for was the Plex app.
It's a bit overkill but I will say as a server and emulator the new apple silicon minis are great. Zero fan noise ever and they sip electricity and run really cool.
Even a "normal" user needs to chill out a bit when they start reliably hitting a (for example) 3-post-a-minute threshold.
You may not be an anti vaxer, but you're still a jerk
I think they know the original price is bad but also that there's a significant chunk of people who either don't care or will forget to call in about a price reduction. They've probably figured out a fairly reliable figure as to what percent of their customers will or won't haggle and run revenue projections off of that.
Yeah I was getting fed up with apps and boxes said fuck it and am running a mac mini hooked up to a shitload of storage now and it's been great. Plays media, works as a competent file server for said media, and emulates a bunch of console games. We don't use anything else now.
Yep same shit with Comcast. I'm very pleased to no longer be a customer.
Yep that’s Comcast. You have to call annually and threaten to cancel to get a semi reasonable price for cable and/or internet.
Everyone losing their minds over this like Firefox doesn't exist.
Stop using Chrome.
The reason this is even a big problem is because everyone piled on Google's browser despite all the obvious reasons that wasn't gonna be a good idea on the long term.
I never understood why anybody thought a company – whose principal business is advertising and data mining – wouldn't eventually rug pull everyone like this with their browser as soon as it hit critical mass for market share.
