Looks like they’re burying it. The buried stuff does have a small copper locate wire. Or maybe its aluminum? I don’t know. Better check

I can eject USB drives in Linux! You click the button to unmount it, and it unmounts. This is some crazy technology right here, maybe one day Microsoft will catch up

Where did the opioid crisis come from? Who caused it?

I used to have a cat I could let out on the back patio with me, and she would stay on whatever concrete pad we had out there. I moved a few times, and each time we would do this routine when we went outside the first time where she would put one paw like this and look at me and wait. Without much change in my tone I could just say ‘yea’ or ‘nope’ and she’d learn where she’s allowed to go. It was always pretty obvious, just a concrete pad, but shed test the boundaries anyway. There was never any friction, shed just accept it and test the next spot. But one time I tried seeing how specific she would go, and I said ‘yea’ to some railroad ties lining a flower bed on one side of the patio. For the rest of my lease, she would not step foot in the flower bed but would do a loop on the railroad ties and come back to the concrete. I’m not sure where I’m going with this, maybe your desk needs railroad ties

How are you supposed to pronounce this service? Because I keep trying and it keeps sounding like sext.

To be fair there’s no article, just a video of a guy off camera talking about his Xbox, not exactly engaging.

I dug through the start of some guide on github, and nothing jumped out at me that the stuff remains configured. Maybe there are pieces stored on the jump drive afterward, but if it does they aren’t saying it very loudly. That’d definitely help convince me to try it.

Who am I kidding, I’m trying it the first time I come across a 360. I just don’t see myself using it regularly

I’ve seen estimates between 30-70% failure rate for the race condition, even on this updated 1.2 version.

And then ok, the exploit is successful. Now you have to install the custom launcher. Hope you like the default theme otherwise you’re now configuring that each and every time too. I didn’t get this far in the guide but now I imagine you also need to install the ISO manager that launches the games. Whoops, there’s always some weird collection of dependencies that you’ll probably have to tweak. Remember wii ios’s? God, what the heck was that. Then you lose power and have to do all of this over again?

Have you ever modded a console? The exploit is only step one.

Its a shame it doesn’t persist through a reboot. I thought I was finally going to have a hacked 360, but I’m not reapplying this thing every time it turns on…

Why’s it gotta be Batman. The one fucking superhero who refuses to kill.

Well will it run Winamp because I inadvertently read the title as Winamp and now I need it again

It’s worth it to include a couple extra points on the current ‘meta’ of seed boxes. A lot of these servers that people set up to serve as an inbetween to torrent then watch via jellyfin etc - they are being set up with weak security. Usually read access is left wide open to get all these services working on the same directory where the movies are. They assume there’s a little security through obscurity, but Google WILL manage to index this folder, and now when someone searches for that obscure 90s movie you torrented (with a few fun search arguments like intitle:), they’re now able to access all your downloads.

Sometimes these seed boxes have bandwidth use limits, where they might charge you if you suddenly use a few dozen TB, which will happen if you’re showing up on Google!

If they don’t have bandwidth limits, you still might land in hot water with your hosting co because you’re being a little loud with copyright infringement. You’re showing up on Google.

If you’re not too worried about either of these things, go ahead and be a hero, leave that shit wide open because…

If hosting a seedbox is way over your head or budget, just know a lot of them are left wide open for you to grab bits and pieces with near zero risk.

It also has a microphone for listening out for “aggression,” gunshots, and keywords such as someone calling for help, a feature that to Vasquez-Garcia immediately raised concerns of more intrusive surveillance.

It’s in the article. I’d cause so many false positives for ‘aggression’ when taking a shit. My God this is terrible

Have you ever tried listening to music in another language? I find myself in a similar situation where electronic gets too busy and pulls me out of focus. Listening to lyrics I can understand also breaks focus because some amount of brain cycles are trying to comprehend them. But when I put on like some russian indie rock, I can zone out to sounds I like without that dialogue interpreter running in the back of my brain.

This seems like a good place to mention Internet Historian just dropped a hour and a half long video on the Ever Given. It starts slow but it’s goddamn hilarious

Well that’s a bit of confusion cleared up, thanks! I did actually notice I’d get some information and then a little later the name would show up too. I figured it was just bad reception missing the full message, but you’re saying they’re sent separately? I guess I’ll stop fiddling with my antenna

The fact they just put their contact info for destination is hilarious to me. I should get a radio license.

I just got a hackrf and it has an AIS tool built in. It’s real neat, I’ve got to play with it a while. It plots them on a map, but it’s extremely low res. My city is like 4 pixels. I’d really like to be able to fix that somehow.

I’ve also noticed a lot of the information it reports seems wrong. Like the same boat can be reporting anchor down and 5 knots. And even more are under way with engine but 0.0 knots. I’m not a boat captain but that doesn’t seem right.

It’s still endless fun just reading the names of the boats as they pass

I feel the distracted driving is a large impact that reverses that effect you describe. Maybe trust is the wrong word, but I trust a teenager texting before an 80 year old. 80 year olds will slow down to 5mph and drift over lines to text. They’re fucking horrible at it and they don’t see it that way. These days teens have multitasked on their phones for 5-10 years before they were able to drive. Maybe they don’t understand the rules of the road as well yet, but they’re a lot more present while distracted.

The magnets in HDDs are some of the strongest magnets you can find. I rip those out when I can, but I’m a packrat

I think a chrome update nixed it, but I used the heck out of Imagus. All it does is expand to a full size image when you hover over an image on a website.

I really need to get that working again. I’m constantly hovering over images for no reason still.

I’m that thin too. Do you know how fucking tired I am of hearing about how I’m “bordering on anorexic”? Shut the fuck up, I probably eat more than you. You’re right, there are a lot of stupid comments in here, as you put it. But they all sound like you. Reread your comments with the new understanding that there are thin people reading them too.

This is just a bunch of fat people collectively saying ‘ew you should eat more’ and it’s gross.
