    I have a question, and maybe this isn’t the right place for it, but why do the files name the bad guys so often? Like, they had these files themselves for so long, why release the bad files? Why not just release clean ones and claim that’s all of them? Why not release files with Obama, Bob Ross, Mr Rogers, and Geordi from Star Trek in them? Not LeVar but the character himself.

    Is there some, like, published hash or something? Some set of receipts that tell us that these are even the files, or how many there might have been at one point or another? I’m not saying the ones we’ve seen are forged… I think I’m asking why aren’t they?






  • He was removed, not because he was bad, but because he was bad and unnecessary.

    If the monster world went into a blackout, he’d have been out and operating the child-reactor with full government support. Only because Sully found a new, compatible, source of power was the ethics of the old system finally up for debate. Slavery is only allowed to be abolished after it stops being “necessary” for the economics of the system.

    And yeah, it’s a movie, so he got taken away in cuffs before the new power source was operationalized, but that’s just a bit of movie magic 😉


  • When professional wrestlers want something to seem like a big deal, they use a concealed razor blade to cut their face. Just the surface, nothing deep, and then they can pop up with blood all over their face. Also we know Trump has been part of wrestling matches and staged events with professional wrestlers before. Doesn’t seem like a big leap to say he knows how to get a little blood for show.


  • Definitely Android apps can use WebRTC, and basically any apps that do voice or video calling very likely do.

    But more importantly, they don’t even need WebRTC, because they can open up any sockets and communicate anything, unlike the browser that’s more limited.

    Like, any app with network permissions can just call out to any server, which will then have the IP of the client. WebRTC not required.

    So yeah, you need all of the networking to go through a VPN to protect against this, if it’s important to you.




  • Not to mention, given the labels on that one map, they seem to think Google satellite view is, like, a live camera feed from space or something they just overlay roads and borders and stuff onto?

    And that it would mean anything at all for the map to just suddenly have a big snake in it unexpectedly…





  • The difference is that a tip is “you’re already getting paid to do your job, why would I pay you to do your job?”. Whereas this is “you gave me this for free, so maybe if I make a bunch of money I could show appreciation for that gift” or pay-it-forward so the next guy can also get a free start, etc.

    And yes I know they’re are busted places on this Earth where basically servers don’t already get paid to do their job and are thus reliant on tips as income, but that’s a different problem…

    Mmmmmmmmmmm… I like the sentiment, but I don’t think I agree. Real estate speculators are who you’re describing, and they suck, but I don’t think anyone would be shocked that they’re like scalpers.

    Landlords don’t really care about hoarding or scarcity really, they’re buying things to rent to people. Like blockbuster. I mean, letting other people live there is basically the point, it’s not exactly hoarding…


  • I think GPD is a company, and they make a device called the GPD Win 5. And I think that device is in the class of Handheld Devices called “AMD Strix Halo”. And so a representative of GPD has said that the {GPD Win 5} will be the first {AMD Strix Halo} handheld device to ship with native Bazzite support.

    Now, what I can’t answer without Googling, which I refuse to do on principle at this point, is what an AMD Strix Halo is, though I assume it’s like a Steam Deck. And I don’t know how anyone thought “AMD Strix Halo” was an acceptable name for a class of devices. And I’m also not sure why GPD thought GPD Win 5 was an acceptable name either. I guess, like, you win at games? And this is hopefully the 5th in the GPD Win family? But this name is too verby to me.
