This is a well written article. The thing that stands out to me, though, is that Apple is simply playing the capitalism game.

Make things cheaper and they’ll buy it, that’s all they’re looking for.

Why would you want to donate to a political organization? I don’t get it. If you don’t know of a political organization already that you want to support, why go out to find one?

Your donation could go to a different / better cause than a political party.

I picked up Elden Ring over a year ago and had started it. It was really difficult going around the world and I felt like I wasn’t enjoying it as much as I could because of its difficulty. This was my first experience with a “Souls” game.

I played a bit of Demon’s Souls over the holidays last year on ps3 because I had it on ps+ and was curious. I liked it and it helped me force myself to keep at it with some enemies, as it’s more linear.

That gave me the push to try Elden Ring once more and it then “clicked” and I just kept at it and now I’m having way more fun. I’m going back everywhere because I know I skipped difficult bosses or parts of the game.

I found out that I had skipped over a whole area and went to an even more difficult one, so I was getting a harder game than I should have. Upon going to the now easier map section (and with an upgraded character), I breezed through a huge section.

If you haven’t heard of it, I recommend 😅

Search “what is my ip” on your web search engine to see without and with a VPN connection, to see if you’re really going through the VPN tunnel. Seems like you aren’t.

Apple highlighted three new features coming to CarPlay:

Voice Control: This feature will allow users to navigate CarPlay and control apps with just their voice. Color Filters: This feature will make the CarPlay interface visually easier to use for individuals with color blindness. Sound Recognition: This feature will enable drivers or passengers who are deaf or hard of hearing to receive notifications on CarPlay for driving-related sounds, such as car horns and sirens.

Fire up a wireshark / tcpdump of a transfer and look to see if the TCP window size is limiting the transfer by the laptop. It might not be able to receive as much data.

Look to another service to test the speed. Your test seems web based, have you tried iperf3? You can also play with options in iperf3 (sending udp, tcp, different payload sizes, etc.)

Video games, because it’s easier to do it legally. If it was as easy for other media, I would do it that way.

That would be because the pattern on the first password are correctly spelled words and the way passwords are cracked offline (when there’s a leak of data being sold somewhere) is that they use dictionary attacks.

This means that a big file containing all known words, and can also include known used passwords from past leaks, is used to try a lot of combinations. A combination of good words that appear 1:1 in these word lists will score way lower in terms of difficulty for a computer to crack. A simple script can add spaces and periods (like your example) between words and they WOULD get your password. By adding only one random character that doesn’t fit a pattern (just like your second ‘t’), you basically force the cracker to try all possible combinations of all characters for the length of your password, which is WAY more difficult.

TLDR: There are more combinations of aaaaaaa, aaaaaab, aaaaaac then there are of matching words together for the same length of password (one.one, one.two, one.three)

I don’t understand how people can go to music shows without ear plugs. I don’t even attend metal music, which seem to crank it up to the point of losing sound quality, just for the sake of “bad assery” I guess.

I feel bad for kids being brought to concerts without them, too.

I might have a date with a fellow coworker. But we’ve got to keep this hush hush.

Let’s ban one app instead of making laws that govern personal data for everyone.

The quality of life that came with a regular schedule (having all weekends off!) and the higher salary is immeasurable. I am not stressed about money anymore and I have time to do activities with friends and family.

Plex and cuddle?

How is this related to the conservatives?

That’s a three-star day for you? I wouldn’t want to see a two or one-star!

That’s a five star feeling for sure!

I’m going to a concert Saturday night.

You lucky bastard.

Yes, well I do think more efforts could be made earlier on in the journey from education to getting a job to ensure that everyone gets their fair chance, but even then, there will still be hiring biases and other factors in play.

I had to check which community these comments were in, I happened to stumble on it on the “all” section of my app (I would not subscribe to this community, probably too political and toxic for my taste and not my cup of tea). I’ve checked the posts on this community and it seems very skewed towards not wanting inclusion and equality… maybe for some of the same reasons I have mentioned but for which people might not take a few minutes or days to think it through.

I think it’s nice that you’re engaging in seeking differing views and maybe challenging a few of them. You seem very respectful, it’s great.

I think your question on “why don’t more women pursue an education in X” is so complex and has too many nuances for a simple answer. I’d like to think it’s simply a preference, but I’m (very) probably wrong and there’s many reasons making it difficult or unattractive to pursue. There’s probably not enough role models to look up to, also.

I’ve thought about your comment a lot since you posted it, trying to find an answer to it. I’ve also spoken to someone I know who works in this sphere of social inclusion.

I’ve found that my knee-jerk reaction to a posting like this is that it should not be legal to limit only one group from applying to a job.

After thinking about it, I understand more completely why they do this (and learned that there are laws concerning equality in hiring in Canada, which I find hard to accept too - because it basically states everyone who is not a white man is in a protected class) and that it ultimately may be the only solution to a problem where equality in the hiring process of many of these issues.

I still don’t like that it is completely fine with everyone that one group is basically the only one that is “not protected”. It feels like someone proclaiming that “we are being inclusive, but not for you” which is just reversing the injustice instead of correcting the one we already have. Ultimately I don’t have an easy answer because it isn’t an easy question, nor an easy solution.
