Ars Technica is generally excellent in my experience, one of the better tech news websites.

Communities organizing themselves into squads to handle criminals and undesirables is also how we ended up with the KKK. Also the kinds of people who volunteer for unpaid security work tend to be pretty conservative in my experience.

I remember one of my first thoughts on the Deck was "even if this fails commercially or can't play any new games, I want it for old games and emulation. Even if it goes nowhere else, it would be worth it for me."

It definitely is.

lots of maintenance workers at the destination house.

Did these people work for a specific company? Complaining to the company directly about stolen items or leaving negative review of the company might help.

Either way it really sucks though, I'm sorry you went through that.

That's great news. The game already runs great on Steam Deck, but sometimes the EA app is really difficult to get logged in to.

I highly recommend this to anyone with a dock and a significant other. My wife and I played a lot of it together, and I overheard her telling her friends that it was like we were playing a pixar movie together.

Hotel's need good ice dispensers so that you can fill a bathtub with ice after removing your tinder date's kidneys.

Wikipedia has a good article on it, including photos of what the marks look like. They're practically invisible to the naked eye, getting them to show up usually requires additional steps like taking high quality scans and running them through some color filters, or using a UV light.

From the EFF coverage of it, it sounds like every laser printer probably prints these marks now. I'm not sure if inkjets or other printer types do or not.

Reddit has long had an issue with confidently providing false statements as fact. Sometimes I would come along a question that I was well educated on, and the top voted responses were all very clearly wrong, but sounded correct to someone who didn't know better. This made me question all the other posts that I had believed without knowing enough to tell otherwise.

Llms also have the same issue of confidently telling lies that sound true. Training on Reddit will only make this worse.

Here's a short extension cord version of one

The explanation of why they're a bad idea is valid though. Usually the kinds of people who know just enough to want this type of plug are also the type of people I wouldn't trust with one.

Edit: I'll go ahead and explain why people want plugs like this. These can be used to backfeed power from a generator into a house, letting you used different outlets/lights in the house. A knowledgeable person can actually use something like this safely, but most people who would use something like this don't know enough to do it correctly. The dangers about doing this are:

• You can easily shock yourself off of the exposed pins of the cord. You can avoid getting shocked by waiting to plug into the generator until the other end is connected first.
• You can backfeed power onto the electrical grid. The power going backwards through the transformers will step up the voltage to thousands of volts, and could seriously injure or kill the linemen who are trying to fix the outage. This is avoided by making sure you've opened either the house's main disconnect breaker or the breaker for the individual circuit you're plugging into.

There are some safer ways to setup this type of generator use, there are special generator power cords/outlets that won't have exposed energized prongs if plugged into a generator. There are also transfer switches or breaker interlock kits designed to prevent someone from being able to backfeed power by requiring them to disconnect commercial power before the generator can be fed into the house's distribution panel.

Honestly the biggest issue is all the garbage websites using SEO to try to be at the top of the results without having actual meaningful content.

It seems like whenever I search for a problem, a bunch of websites come up with pages dedicated to that exact issue, but all of fixes are generic and don't actually help. And that whole website will be filled with pages like that, pages that claim to have solutions for specific problems but lack any content of substance. Add in paywalls to access sites, that lawsuit to have google remove the "view image button" from image results, and websites like Pinterest that require an account before you can view anything. People were relying on content from websites like reddit to get actual real answers to searches, and now reddit is looking at getting itself removed from google search as well.

I don't think it's that Google is specifically getting worse, but rather that the internet is becoming an increasingly unhelpful place where everyone is competing to sell you answers and drive clicks.

Microsoft needs another good antitrust lawsuit. They're so aggressive about pushing their products.

I haven't heard many other people complain about it so it was probably a very short term thing, but I'll never forget when they updated windows defender to identify the chrome installer as highest-threat malware so that its download would be blocked, and if you forced the download windows would instantly delete the installer for your own protection.
