Oh man, that just reminded me that PB Crisps existed. Fuckin loved those things.

For android it’s power+volume up to bring up the power options menu (shutdown, restart, etc) and there is a “lock down” option that disables biometric unlock.

Wish I could do it with one hand, but good to know it’s there.

Linus was ahead of the game on this one. Nvidia should start building data centers next to public pools. Cool the systems and warm the pools.

Yup. I can say for sure that SSDs were certainly a game changer, but now we have systems with like 10x the processing power that operate at the same speeds because the power has been spent on poorly optimized code and bloatware.

Sigh… I’m going to have to start fucking around with Linux, aren’t I?

The worst part is that Windows can do that, but Microsoft insists on enshittifying it. Like Windows 11 isn’t that terrible if it wasn’t for all of the data collection and advertisements and other shit.

I miss the Windows 7 days where you could download a stripped down ISO that was just the OS. It launched your programs of choice and didn’t suck up your battery running unnecessary junk.

Ahh yes. Reminds me of my teenage years. Experimenting with Marijuana, pirated MP3s, and the Milkdrop visualization plugin for Winamp. Those were good times… Real good times.

It’s going to be relentlessly compared to OverWatch. It’s basically an OverWatch clone with Marvel characters.

Maybe

It is however acceptable at the supermarket when a product says “Made with 100% white meat chicken”

“You’re not wrong Walter, you’re just an asshole” -The Dude

Probably one. I would imagine they have some kind of GPS on these.

Oh man, that reminds me of the time that I was trying to record a demo for my friends band. They had a PA system, and apparently the 1/4 cable that went from the main speaker to the other carried power. I didn’t know this. I plugged it into the sound card on my PC. I’m super lucky that all it did was fry my sound card. It died so fast.

Sigh…

When I was in the 3rd grade, our class had to do reports on countries around the world and we were all assigned a country. I got Egypt. Coincidentally, some friends of my parents had recently gotten back from a trip to Egypt. My parents asked their friends if there was anything I could bring in to use for my presentation. They let me borrow this little statue they got. It was an eagle with a hat, I think it was a depiction of Horus. It was carved out of some really nice white stone, maybe marble or something? I brought it into school, put it on my desk, and waited patiently to stand up and do my report. When I stood up, I bumped my desk, and the statue fell to the ground and broke in half.

Now monetarily this may not have been the most “expensive” thing, but it was the souvineer that this family brought back from Egypt that they had on their mantle to always remember the trip. It was priceless.

Why the fuck would you let a 7 year old bring your breakable souvineer to school for a class project?

Anyway, those people stopped being friends with my parents after that, so I have a feeling it was either expensive or meant a lot.

This hurts me to think about. Why did you have to ask this question?

I really don’t want to come off the wrong way saying this, but I don’t think this comic works the way we want it to. Republicans fucking love the slippery slope fallacy. When they read this they are like “Exactly! It keeps getting worse!”

“helps me want to eat breakfast”

So my brother used to wake up and slam down like 20oz of water in the morning. He noticed it gave him a huge appetite for breakfast and all throughout the day. Ends up that this is an exersize that competitive eaters do. From my understanding, It stretches your stomach out, and the water drains out pretty quickly leaving it empty and ready for a big meal.

Cool, thanks for the info. This is something I have wanted to setup for a little while now, I just didn’t understand all of the nuances.

I can wrap my head around the secret being stored in your device, but what happens when you go to a different device?

Let’s say for example, I am at my friend’s house, and for one reason or another, I don’t have my phone. My Gmail account is passkey locked, but I need to check my email from my friend’s laptop. Would that require that I install passkey on their laptop, and log in to my passkey account? Does that also mean that if I forget to log out of passkey, they can access all of my accounts correlated with my passkey account? If that’s the case, what happens if my passkey account is compromised? All of my accounts are linked to a single point of failure?

A friend of mine had to break out some kind of USB dongle to log into his Google account on a new machine the other day. Is that a form of passkey? What happens if that dongle gets lost/stolen/broken? Or what if you just forgot it at home? Are you SOL?

I am all for more security and less password remembering, but I hop around a lot of computers.

Yup. Just how cable TV started as “you pay extra for it, but you don’t get any ads!” and then when they realized they had everybody hooked, they started showing ads.

Same thing with streaming services. Pay money for a service with no Ads. Oh what’s that? Now that they realize they are your primary source of content, they are going to turn ads on unless you pay extra? Boom, gottem.

Probably “Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero”. Definitely the peak of Mortal Kombat as a whole, and defined everything we know about the series.

And for the love of Christ, /s if anybody didn’t pick up on it.

I think you can install all the normal streaming apps on Kodi as well. It definitely takes more know-how than using something like a Roku or smart TV, but FOSS be like that sometimes.
