The inferior one was the winner after all.
…That’s right. Until the very end, Liquid thought he was the inferior one.
Yes, sir. I agree completely. It takes a well-balanced individual, such as yourself, to rule the world.
No, sir. No one knows that you were the third one… Solidus.

Thank you. Good-bye…

Yeah nah, Pisces gonna have to fight Sagittarius for ‘stupid’ 😂

awk is pretty damn solid. When I was completely rewriting the gravity.sh script from Pi-hole about six years back, it was easily the fastest for parsing and uniquely sorting content from files with a couple million lines. It made things much more usable on Raspberry Pi Zero hardware, since changing to another language like Python was out of the question.

I migrated to Pi-hole in 2016 so believe me when I say that uBlock Origin is perfectly complimentary because it removes the blank space that is made for ads.

My only complaint about BCU is that its portable edition isn’t a single standalone EXE. Makes it a nuisance compared to HiBit Uninstaller.

The real reason Tim Sweeney’s afraid of Linux.

Interestingly, if you have a big AirPods case (like I do) then the iPhone MagSafe will charge it just fine!

Windows users complaining that a Linux (or at a stretch, even Mac) app doesn’t have a Windows version.

The ending has all the feels and the ending song is with it is phenomenal.

I refuse to listen to it via the OST. Full online-enabled playthrough only, for silly little reasons.

“Hi, can I ask a question?”

No, don’t ask to ask a question.

Damn the USB-IF naming schemes be wild these days.

Lockdown mode was released as a countermeasure specifically against Pegasus the first time it made the rounds as it disables many ways that are commonly exploited as the initial vector point - mainly attachments, links and previews in texts, as well as certain complex web browsing technologies.

I’ve had Lockdown mode on since it’s been released. I miss having 2FA code autofilled from text messages, and there’s the occasional website that’ll need to be whitelisted as it may display an emoji instead of a custom font… but aside from that, it’s barely an inconvenience.

Your telco is always going to be a weak point in a scenario like this, but better that than your phone because a hostile actor sent you a text message that embedded silent persistent spyware.

Oh no, I’m talking outright wrecked — you can see damaged pins upon observation.

(To be clear to the downvoters, I see this in my job where I repair consumer tech. I’ve clarified in my original post since some people seem to think I’m arguing exclusively in favour of lightning, or maybe think I’ve seen this on my own devices?)

I clean out densely compacted pocket lint frequently out of customer devices. One needle nose tweezer end for extracting the bulk, then isopropyl on a thin lint free cloth pushed in with a small piece of plastic to determine what’s left inside that isn’t easily visible. Typically makes the port look as good as new.

The amount of USB type ports I’ve seen where the ‘tongue’ has been absolutely mangled is mind boggling — an issue that Lightning completely bypassed.

For example, I’m repairing some kids PS5 and both back USB ports have had their pins twisted and the plastic snapped off. The HDMI port pins are lifting from the mainboard and the front of the unit is scratched to high hell. I see some of the worst treated tech at my job, and those plastic bits get damaged a lot. While Apple needed to move to USB-C six years ago with the iPhone X, I will respect Lightning for this one thing.

Given that OP posted a Mac screenshot, Pages and Numbers would likely work just as well for the files themselves.

As someone who runs a popular blocklist collection, I’ve come to find that most of the MASSIVE lists are people who collate a whole bunch of lists together and then promote their “one size fits all” solution alongside their donation link. There are very few original high quality ad-blocking lists maintained (where originality is defined as a sizeable amount of unique entries not shared by other lists) and almost all don’t appear to openly discuss the magic sauce behind their lists, outside of the obvious case of user submissions.

The article does it right: test@test.com and other similar things (e.g: a@a.com) will throw an error the first time you put in a password and it’ll proceed to create an offline account.

The people that go through the steps like commands and disabling internet are making too much work for themselves.

Hilariously, I find the Pi-hole feature “disable for 5 seconds” often works because it’ll be down for long enough to load the page but not the ads.

Reseat graphics card in the PCI-E slot, then test with a replacement GPU or onboard graphics.
