My pixel stopped supporting IPSec after a system update. Had to switch to Wireguard. Using an OS built in VPN option seems problematic now since they are regularly removed from the OS without warning. Fortunately wireguard seems to work well on all the OS I have tried it on and solves the bandwidth limitations I've had with other protocols as a bonus.

If you want to heat things up releasing a bunch of methane to the atmosphere via all the loss that occurs during fracking is a good choice.

The last system I built has: CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB)... Size: 64GB (2x32GB) Color: Black $159.99 Considering the pricing I simply bought far more than my use case required. This way lack of RAM won't be a limitation for the life of this system unless my use case changes drastically. If we consider this pricing per gig this MAC has $20 worth of RAM in it. It seems absurdly low to pair with the other expensive components especially considering the performance implications and cost of resolving them.

Recently picked up a Brother HL-2270DW with 60% left on the toner for $8 from a local second hand store. Should be good for ~7k pages. HP is the worst and their inkjets are the worst of the worst. Don't do it.

It depends on how you define best. If the metric is how much money does it make for the company that produces it McD hits the sweet spot of awareness, availability and cost.

As far as I can tell it's a bookmark that specifies no address bar in the browser window it launches.

Which sources would you accept about something recently political and how/why are they more reliable than Wikipedia?

If you replace the headline with: "Human Drivers Keep Hitting Things: A Cyclist, a Gate, and a Pickup Truck" It's entirely unremarkable. Looking at my local news in a small city a human driver struck and killed a pedestrian over the weekend. That's much more sensational and it happens all the time.

+1 informative.. I didn't understand the attack prior to reading this post.

I'm all for people hacking Sony products but it's better to buy devices that aren't locked down in the first place. You can get a variety of good portable devices for running a PSP emulator in the $50-$100 range.

I use a card and an NVR. On camera I have it set to record motion events to the card and then 24/7 on the NVR. Makes sense to me to have a backup in case the video doesn't make it to the NVR for whatever reason. Of course these are POE cams on a network with UPS backup power.
The problem with the SD card plan with wireless cameras is that the signal could be jammed and then the card or entire unit stolen, so then you don't get either recording.

The TV Show was pretty entertaining.

I'm not a hulu subscriber but this article reminded me to cancel netflix just one day before it renewed.

I'll take the extra steps to use generative AI that doesn't watermark the output.

IMO It works really well for sports but isn't great for close up faces. Also really depends on how much you're upscaling. 1080 -> 1440 looks fine. 720 -> 2160 looks much less good.
