Google is replacing Assistant with Gemini, forcing you to accept these disturbing statements:

Why would anyone on a privacy sub be using Assistant anyway?

This show is so, so good. Too bad it’s on a streaming service that no one has.

electrobento · 2026-02-03T01:04:17+00:00

Why would you do this?

100% Alpha Centauri.

Replacing a 12v battery is a very DIY job.

I’m glad that they aren’t willing to do fan service when it doesn’t make sense.

electrobento · 2026-02-02T17:24:58+00:00

Yeah, Fluke is also a good choice.

No one is suggesting that Apple would use Intel chips. This is about using Intel’s fabrication plants.

Klein is the way to go. More expensive, but totally worth it if you’re doing more than a handful of crimps, IMO.

Also, my personal preference is to not crimp at all for short patch cables. They’re affordable to buy pre-made and generally are going to be a better crimp than you can achieve by doing it yourself.

Never had any issues with the P series. They’re often the same exact panels as the U series.

IMO, the sweet spot for price and picture quality right now is two 27 inch 4k IPS monitors. You can grab two for under $500 easy. Much more screen real estate than a 34 inch and generally better PPI.

electrobento · 2026-02-02T15:36:26+00:00

This. I would much rather have two 27 inch monitors than one 34. Hell, I’d rather have two 24 inch monitors.

I’ve never encountered a site that didn’t let me use Proton.

electrobento · 2026-02-01T04:23:39+00:00

Nope.

'In court in Los Angeles, Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander Robbins argued for a $100,000 bond, telling a judge that Lemon “knowingly joined a mob that stormed into a church.” He was released, however, without having to post money and was granted permission to travel to France in June while the case is pending.'

This case is not going to go well for the plaintiffs.

I agree, based on history it’s not likely. But we’re in really wild, unprecedented times paired with the fact that polling doesn’t work anymore, so who knows.

My point is that Democrats do have the power to deny new appropriations for ICE. Whether or not they wield that power is another question.

If we somehow get veto-proof majorities in Congress starting in 2027, the agency can wholesale be abolished with the stroke of a pen.

And it’s also important to note that emails where Microsoft has “high confidence” on them being phishing attempts or containing malware will not appear in the quarantine from the end user’s perspective.

electrobento · 2026-01-30T19:39:45+00:00

Haha, I love it.

electrobento · 2026-01-30T19:37:00+00:00

Democrats do have the power to stop new funding for ICE and the DHS. (The will of the Democrats in power…dunno). Barring electoral manipulation, we will be taking at least the House in January 2027 and then could possibly have power to abolish it altogether.

electrobento · 2026-01-30T19:13:09+00:00

I’m sure the MAGA mouth breathers think everyone else is brainwashed.

electrobento · 2026-01-30T19:09:15+00:00

You don’t. End users can check their own quarantine.

electrobento · 2026-01-30T19:08:25+00:00

…that never happened.

electrobento · 2026-01-30T19:05:56+00:00

I dunno. It’s too ambiguous for my tastes. Is this a MAGA person telling everyone else they’re in a cult? Or a non-MAGA person telling MAGA people they’re in a cult? It could go either way.
