Go to Ali Express, and filter through the “mp3” results. They will cost less than $10, be made of the cheapest material possible but meet your requirements. Otherwise you are thrift store shopping

Irrational soft magic system - anything can happen for any reason, so the story doesn’t matter at all.

I would recommend a food journal, odds are that you have a mild allergy to something like mustard or sesame with a 24 hour delay.

Grab a 4 free AOL disk from blockbuster, use 3 of them as frisbees. Take the last one home and spend 10 minutes waiting the interface to install. Plug in the phone line and hear a series of beeps and schreeches before being greeted by an early robotic voice saying “welcome!” And often “you’ve got mail”.

Afterwards you follow a guide to sign up for a mail account and a text like document with links to AOL platform tooling like chat rooms and search tools. You started looking for urls everywhere wondering what hidden gems you’ll find in the virtual world and what kind of content was on cereal websites or Nickelodeon. There was a massive learning curve for multimedia, but you had a lot of pen pals from chatrooms. So much porn spam. Nabisco had an awesome gaming site

How about 4 slight lefts?

It all started with PAL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL the short version is that old cameras were tuned to work with the electromagnetic frequency, your camera either worked in Europe or in the US. This effected the frame rate of the end video (4%) and meant that tvs, video players and consoles ran at a different frame rate which lead to 2 standards NTSC and SECAM.

As trade expanded publishers created trade routes and business partnerships that created a patterns of distribution. Later when we resolved those 2 standards with modern technology, we are still were using those methods to get the physical copies to the stores and those same stores are still handling digital distribution, using the same laws and regulations. It might seem simple to click download, but that’s built on a monolith of history and automation to deliver a good user experience.

To actually get rid of it, I’m not a lawyer but I imagine we have internal trade treaties to visit? I don’t think it’s legal to sell PAL versions outside of their region unless you are also doing business there. I know Japanese pokemon games were hard to buy as a kid. Disclaimer: I know tech stuff.

It’s so consistent it has a name: Moore’s law is the observation that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore’s_law

I heard that we were at the theoretical limit but apparently there’s been a break through: https://phys.org/news/2020-09-bits-atom.html

Eli5 VPN: https://dnsleaktest.com/ Visit this site unsecured and it will display your general geographic location (county/region). Connect to your VPN and try again incognito and under most circumstances it will display the VPN location instead.

Example scenario: you are in Canada and connect to Netflix and are incredibly disappointed with the Canadian selection. You connect toa VPN from New York a few miles away and you get access to the full United States catalogue. (Netflix is fighting this)

Example 2: you setup your smart vacuum on your home network and being concerned about security, you disabled access outside your home. You can connect to a personal VPN you configure to “spoof” being inside the house while on vacation to modify your vacuum settings.

Vpns are also commonly used as “public transit” for users to obfuscate their identity.

Benefit: When you make a request against a website, they often put trackers on you including your operating system, browser application, and store data like your geographic location. Advertisers are tracking your history, sites are using cookies to charge more with dynamic pricing when you revisit, data brokers are selling that data. There have been use cased where whistle blowers are identified off that purchased data from known journalist meetings. There’s a lot of reasons to have a VPN, but never use a free one. Adding an extra jump to your VPN location is definitely adding latency, if you don’t need one, it’s just extra weight.

• 2 min rule, if you notice something and it takes less then 2 min; do it now
• if you rent, pretty much all of the appliances are your landlords problem
• Keep inside temp at least 60F 15C to prevent pipes from freezing/bursting. Disconnect hoses in winter. Sprinklers need to be flushed
• your water heater has a dial on it for more/less heat
• be sure to air the place out every once in a while
• bug spray is well worth the money
• learn to use molly bolts / plaster
• pay for tradesmen, but water line valves and breakers should be common knowledge
• be sure to replace your air filter, it can cause blocking. Don’t close too many vents

Spiderman far from home actually addressed this

It’s bleak, Xbox one is my preferred client and it’s quickly degrading. Chromecast has little overhead but requires another client. I’ve heard older rokus are in demand on eBay. I don’t recall if apple TV has a casting feature, but I’ve heard the ecosystem works for apps. I checked this thread for new recs.

Nvidia shield was known as king of media servers because it was able to be client and server. Now it’s a running on a build from ~2015 that can no longer function as a server. Yes it’s a client, but it’s old and overpriced now with a bunch of additional Google shitware. If you have one use it, don’t buy one.

Shield also refused to update mounting networking drives after Android 14 so they are pretty useless now

Sounds like you don’t do contact negotiations, if someone will pay 2 million to appear on their root domain, you’ll sit down and figure it out for a couple hours.

Mostly customer provided certs, high end clients make all kinds of stupid requests like the aforementioned man-in-the-middle chain sniffers, clients that refuse DNS validation, clients that require alternate domains to be updated regularly. Management is fine for mywebsite.com, but how are you solving an EV on the spoofed root prod domain, with an sso cert chain for lower environments on internal traffic that is originally provided by a client? And do you want the cs reps emailing each other your root cert and (mistakingly) the key? I’ve been given since SCARY keys by clueless support engineers. I don’t want to do this every 3 months.

As someone who creates custom domain name applications, FUCK THEM WITH A PINEAPPLE SPIKY SIDE FIRST. This problem is on par with timezones for needless complexity and communication disasters. Companys and advertisers are now adding man in the middle certs for additional data collection/visibility. If the ciphers not cracked, changing the certs exposes significantly more failure, than letting one get a little stale.
Sysadmin used slam! It’s super effective!

At&t/pacbell basically just kept recombining after being repeatedly broken apart. The market is broken, not the company.
