haywire

Vampire Survivors, Wreckfest, Slay the Princess, Hue.

Didn’t The Incredibles have a backstory like that where supes are basically illegal after they caused too much collateral damage?

Hello World.

Forgive me if this is an overly simplistic view but if the ads with cookies are all served on Google’s platform say then would all those ads have access to the Google cookie jar?

If they don’t now then you can bet they are working on just that.

There are a lot of games that work. Still some that hold out, mainly due to their shitty anticheat software.

Great. So managing printers, network settings and quickly comparing settings from two places becomes a weird game of screenshots and guessing.

Remote support workers of the world collectively shake their fist in despair.

No way on this planet I will be able to explain the new UI to your average office worker.

Love a bit of PRTG, it can monitor pretty much anything via SNMP and the like.

There you go.

I doubt going children even care that it’s a fidget toy, they’ll still be mindlessly clicking the clicky bits on it or waddling around shouting pew pew pew

Cap guns, potato guns, water guns, just plain clicky/sparky/light up guns and so on, guns for kids are nothing new. Fidget in the name is a gimmick to use bright colours and sell plastic guns to more kids.

The screens they use will always come down to what they can get enough of at a decent price.

You know there would have been screens that look better but use the battery up faster, or have supply issues if this one factory has a problem and they look at all that.

AI generated content is great and all but it drowns out everything else on there. Anyone can type a prompt and generate a great looking image with a couple of attempts these days it seems.

The people spending days, weeks, months and more on a piece can’t keep up.

When it comes to WiFi Mac’s mobile phones have fudged them for “privacy” for years, if this goes main stream I see the same thing coming in for Bluetooth.

They promise the macs are random but I don’t have much faith in that.

Looking up a real Mac to see what manufacturer it came from is something I do almost daily sorting out network issues for customers and really is not difficult. From there it takes a leap to guess what the device is if it’s name doesn’t help but more often than not it’s easy enough to see what’s out there, the random macs of phones stick out like a sore thumb as they don’t come back as anything usually so you can then track that around the network and see what they are up to that way.

Nintendo being Nintendo. They’ve killed websites, device vendors, projects and more. Otherwise Liksang and Bung would still be around. They take the same destroyer of worlds tactic to any meetings. Crush the opposition, no survivors.

This time I think the internet may surprise them, unless they just get a blanket order on anyone hosting copies of the code or related materiels.

I acquire the MP3 of the song I want from where ever I can find it. Be that buying it, YouTube converter or elsewhere. Then copy it to the SD card on my phone to listen to. No ads, no data connection needed. I even bother to set the album covers and tags up so it is all searchable in the Oto app I use on my phone.

Thinking out loud but wouldn’t chrome bookmarks for the URLs backed up to a file/account work better than a sheet of it’s just for access?

As we have mostly Windows based machines we look after everything is in Pulseway or TeamViewer. Routers and misc tend to be on specific ports on their connections IP and we have a shared Keeper repository for passwords and notes.

The company I work for has been buying other companies and customers like is silly season in the last year so we are digesting all the extra crud that came with it and trying to streamline half a dozen CRM, RM and Monitoring systems at the moment.

If it’s gonna use a load of memory let me theme it, colour schemes, skins based on games and let me switch off the community feeds that are full of shitty trying to be funny guides and crap.

Custom toast popups that pair with the game you are playing.

Reminders for the free stickers in the mobile app during events?

I was expecting some exploit of the ancient underlying OS but that looked relatively simple.

The fact the exploit was able to infect config backups to persist is interesting too.

I’ve been using Firefox at home for as long as I can remember. I’ve not found anything I can’t do with it yet.

If something doesn’t work you can always try it in edge of something either way.

I like that they list if the UK plug fits now, it was a guessing game with some of the cases
