HP can go fuck themselves

Imagine hosting an event so lame that it makes international news solely because of how incredibly lame it was. Just damn.

You can pirate media that uses that new blu ray drm by plugging a capture card into the overpriced compatible DVD player and recording the video. Also, it’s a way to transfer saved content from a dvr as their hard drives are always encrypted (do those still exist). The video stream on all this stuff is encrypted with hdcp to prevent this but there exist hdcp strippers. It seems to still be possible to buy them even on Amazon. Stock up before they get banned. Frankly I’m surprised they aren’t banned already.

I hope they actually end up calling it the Very Big Disc ™

Oh shit now Elon is going to try to buy all of Linux.

When it fucks up, good luck fixing it without an os reinstall. That’s the price. If it was easier/possible to restore to a fully working state after it gets borked, it would be really good.

Because zoneminder sucks and the other ones are kind of corporate and crappy?

They must not be very good hackers if they have to use a third party service instead of making their own local ai and using it for their shenanigans 🤷

They already replaced the default start menu with a bullshittier one.

I can see the headlines now. “GOP passes bill banning civilian ownership of anything faster than a Pentium III.”

How the fuck can they not compete with 5G? Is using the advantages of their wired infrastructure to just provide customers with the same service as always but without the bandwidth caps, effectively overcoming the 1 major disadvantage of mobile internet, really that hard?

So if you could theoretically let out a big enough fart, it would be visible on Google Maps.

Welp, using the internet was fun while it lasted. I’ll still use Firefox for all my browsing until I can’t anymore and after that I guess I’ll go fuck myself for entertainment instead of internet browsing.

When the government starts taking away unlocked bootloader phones, I will be switching to ham radio instead of getting a locked down phone. Fuck the system.

There probably will someday be a push to prevent common normal people from having access to computer systems that offer the user root or superuser access. “ThE aVeRaGe PeRsOn DoEsNt NeEd AdMiN pErMiSsIoNs” or “think of the children”. Ipads and surface pros will be allowed but something like a socket 1155 motherboard won’t.

Definitely not the IT people keeping their ai servers running, that’s for sure.

The tech world is going downhill fast. Anything that isn’t currently obtainable through only foss means isn’t going to be attainable by the average person for much longer.

The tech things most people currently enjoy will soon become entirely unaffordable to anyone not made of money. Anything that you aren’t willing to switch to an open source alternative for, prepare to learn to live without it.

I even self host my own music streaming. I never had a streaming service, not even in 2012 when Netflix was all the rage. I don’t even own a windows compatible pc. I don’t even know what modern ms office looks like. I use my home network more than I use the actual internet just about.

The best time to switch to Firefox was 19 years ago when it first came into existence. The 2nd best time is now.
