I’m waiting for them to get rid of the send-to-kindle email thing to receive books from calibre. I’m surprised it has survived for this long. I’ve wanted to try out a kobo but can’t justify it cause my 10+ year old kindle still works perfectly fine for reading. But once they remove that feature or drop support for my device, it’s kobo time.

Why do I keep seeing companies blame shit like this on “a software glitch”? Like, fuckin, no it’s not. And no one believes your bullshit either.

Just a subscription that had most of the things and wasn’t a straight up abusive experience would be worth a hell of a lot more than $5. Too bad it will never happen.

To be fair, if you’re a W-2 employee, they already have your money from withholding. So it’s not like you’re taking dollars from the irs by not filing your return, it just means you don’t get your rebate.

Your tax dollars at work!

Nobody’s mentioned that the vulnerability was “immediately” fixed (within 24h according to a comment on a related post in the cybersecurity community). Like, the fact that this is even possible to begin with is obviously bullshit, and makes me wish I’d ripped the starlink box out of my car, but this is not the rampant and actively exploited thing that the headline would have me believe it is.

You don’t say.

This is where we say switch to Linux, right?

You get to drink from the fire hose!!!

Wordpress is just the worst

Oh man I went through this phase too. I had the clear acrylic case and a bunch of those UV CCFL tubes.

That’s security theater for you…

I hope I catch morefish!

I will (and have been) doing my absolute to avoid buying any kind of physical device that requires an app to function

Same. It’s becoming more difficult every day.

Deluge or qbittorrent. If you use a vpn, binhex images are good.

We will call it… Dumb Crowdstrike.

Oof, yeah, didn’t think about that. Much more complicated.

We need a wiki of EVs that.has a section on each model enumerating which components are used to spy on you and videos showing how to neuter them.

I have been thinking we need something like this but for all new vehicles, not just EVs. Like instructables but for how to locate and rip out the cellular radio/antenna on every make and model that has one.
