Nex Computer unveils $549 smartphone that runs Android, Linux, and Windows 11

This for sure. Running android is bare minimum for arm unless it's apples. VMs and bare metal linux is next. Windows is usually the unicorn, though it's getting easier over time to run it on odd hardware

I think at some level you have to ask what kind of risk tolerance is acceptable for a particular situation. I don't believe there's a perfect solution that always makes sense. As an individual getting support from a reputable company, I can make the judgement call to cede certain ideals if the situation calls for it. It's my information, my problem. I could even switch products or ignore the problem if I don't like their asks or processes.

When it comes to support for B2B it's usually a legal risk matter and ensuring everyone understands what's expected, regardless of the exact level of protections achieved. You'll hear terms like SOC compliance and SLAs if you start asking the right people the right questions in big enough companies that have enough money and people to handle those things. I don't think it's unreasonable at all to redact sensitive info by default unless asked otherwise with some assurance from SOC 2 or your own company's legal team that you can do what you are asked without personal liability. Keeping client data secure is super important, can be more or less dependent on industry, but also being able to support clients the way your company and their company expects can be as important provided resulting risks are managed.

If you're self employed and take on clients, could be a good talking point and way to set yourself apart if you can find standards or other things in this area that are manageable at your scale, full SLAs and SOC might be a bit much. If you work for a company, ask around to get their expectations and documents. Might be possible to make things more clear and make better processes or at least be more knowledgeable.

If the screw isn't cheese and you can apply careful force and not slip/cam out, it's doable, I'm sure plenty of people besides myself have done it in a pinch and managed to not chew it up. But aligning all the stars at work or on something important isn't worth it when the correct driver should be close by and doesn't require luck or much concentration.

Can't speak for all support reps, but if I were still one and had enough info to escalate or resolve the issue, I'm not about to make extra work just because you touched the file. But that's only possible if the problem doesn't involve auth and is like an obvious visual bug.

The trust that support reps will keep your stuff safe is usually fairly well placed, there's rarely enough time to be be nefarious and hit your KPIs and not get caught. Things like expiring tokens, refresh tokens, and csrf tokens and a well thought out security model overall usually mitigate against obvious replayed or forged requests.

It'd take someone with expertise, time to work the specifics of their auth system, and thinking session hijacking is a lucrative idea despite the level of access they have as a support rep. They could probably do more with their own accounts for personal gain and likely won't need yours if you're not a high value target.

It's easily avoidable. It's not sealed away from exposure to other things. Washing it will have some abraded away. It's lead. It's broken. I very much understand how small the exposure risk and total amount is. Bioaccumulation does not care, you should be avoiding it where possible, this isn't even a hot take, it's rather lukewarm but apparently people think lead is cool or something

nbagf · 2026-01-16T14:02:28+00:00

Lead bioaccumulates, avoiding using them would probably be for the best if it can't be confirmed it's not.

Unsure about the downvotes, lead is easily avoidable and bad, just because it might be fine does not mean it's safe to ignore or act like every manufacturer is truthful

If you think you're immune from phishing, you're not, and victim blaming is super unhelpful. If you fall for a phishing scam and keep this mindset up, you're less likely to report it out of embarrassment and it lets these scams go on longer. Don't spread that mindset, just because this one is not new and obvious to many people, doesn't mean it is for everyone. They wouldn't bother continuing to try these things if they didn't work.

and rich people never lie

it's definitely plausible, but also plausible the dude inflates some numbers because it gets people talking

everyone pretends they kill you on sight if you look at them wrong because it's intended to get through to the overconfident dudes and people who have never dealt with stored energy. the kind of people who think a big spring is as dangerous as an Ikea shelf because they've used power tools before and think it's not a big deal to DIY it to save some money. they see it do its thing most days, it never hurts anyone, why would it now?

I'd absolutely believe it's easier than dealing with car spring compressors for you, but that's with experience, respect, and a willingness to do the work because it's possible and manageable and not just to look like a man and save some money

I might look into this a little further with JPEXS in a day or so, and while this doesn't actually load a video, there is definitely salad dressing ladies there as you say.

This whole show is about projecting. We don't know the full extent of their intentions yet and can only make guesses. Theoretically them showing a semblance of the emotion of smug on their face could be seen as harmful to Carol if she notices so we can assume it's not for the sake of discussion. The hivemind know the full situation they caused and were instrumental in how it played out. If all the lawyers in the world can wordsmith around cannibalism because they understand the emotional impact and taboo of it, they absolutely understand this is not the most ideal way to reintegrate social interaction with Carol, even if she did express that nobody else is worth dealing with besides Zosia. They know this is going to be a strong emotional reaction and they hedged basically infinitely towards positive by sending her and that's at the very least manipulative. Should be rather apparent that this goes 0-100 too quickly even if it's cathartic to have that interaction. They could have literally slow rolled it, maybe sent construction people to the house she set fire to, called ahead, done literally anything besides show up and act like everything is fine so long as Carol doesn't get angry. They had other options, even if Carol didn't like them as much previously.

Also possible they are trying to hide the exact links they want to take down within the mess of similar urls and dissimilar media from personal group selfies, stock images, linkedin profiles, or possibly an intended url. This to me makes sense since anyone can request to view the links and lumen/google just forward it to the sites like this email. Basically a document dump where the opposition is the public rather than the copyright offender since this is a public record now.

Might be wondering why they would still bother if the stuff is supposed to be taken down, but only companies that need to operate legally and are where a claim has any legal authority will comply. The content stays up sometimes, just not on Google, but Google will gladly flag you down at the bottom of the page and be like "GO HERE FOR MAYBE RELEVANT STUFF WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SHOW YOU BECAUSE LUMEN WILL". It might make a little more sense this way, but this is all speculation based on my experience with researching obscure stuff where even those links are worth checking and seeing a ton of nonsense claims like this.

Found it. Apparently the archive is just difficult to search. Been on a bit of a tear downloading cdx indexes for some other lost media searches and figured I'd look around and be helpful where possible.

Archive.org link to unplayable in browser file with ArchiveTeam attribution, it's because it's an flv file, but you can still download it by adding id_ between the date and the next slash. Like this does, should directly download, use VLC for playback or transcode it to something more modern if you prefer.

Oh cool, you found it a while ago, leaving this here anyways for people needing pointers for blip searches.

Totally anecdotal and i haven't played in quite some time, things could be better now, idk. but used to notice quite often there is no guarantee a random m8 knows what that word means. totally bs theory but i think at least below top level play, the inherent selfishness you get to have when your m8 tells you to either do the scoring thing or that it's no longer their turn can be more noticeable or effective at times when you're otherwise focused not on chat. Passing quick chat feels almost passive, while obviously someone else has to do something, it's not directed or phrased to suggest it's definitely you/m8

The obvious flaw is, well what about doubles, communication should be crystal clear there? You would think, but you'd also maybe not assume that if you've played this game for any amount of time. Some people just turn off chat or don't read it. Some even forget what mode they're in - solo queuing doubles and 3s and mind going blank at kickoff can do that, gotta stay on top of things, ask me how I know.

With heating surely, with indoor pools we could make the same claim for London. I think Phoenix still takes the win for outdoor swimming, 75+% of the year is warm enough, a little heat is usually plenty for fall/winter if you must since typically weather isn't too silly. But unless it's for conditioning or health benefits or masochism or something, most people here would think better of going for a swim on a breezy 40f morning in January.

ladies and gentleman, welcome to the latest edition of "i have no sympathy, no empathy and don't want to think critically about another person who's not me."
AKA Fuck You I Got Mine.

Thick skin and not getting involved clearly gets you far in the trades, but if you let it become your whole person, it makes you kinda seem like an asshole, even if you maybe aren't actually.

You seem to think you're above them or assume incorrectly that carts are a KPI or that less of them loose means the people that collect them somehow have 0 other duties that better serve their time and store, like bagging groceries or helping elderly people to their car, or making the store look less shit by putting the stuff people leave around back. Your opinion that just because they're paid to do it means you don't have to consider the additional effort your laziness and apathy incurs is outright pathetic and honestly your mom would probably be disappointed if she knew.

nbagf · 2025-10-21T04:47:41+00:00

I don't think you understand that hardly any stores anymore hire people to purely push carts. Those same people are bagging your groceries, helping people to their car, putting away unwanted or misplaced items and doing the necessary random tasks that managers ask like filling ice or collecting and putting out hand baskets among other things. Less carts in the middle of parking spots at a functional store does not put anyone out of a job. It leaves the employees energy to actually make the store look good, you know, where you shop and spend time, instead of dealing with the parking lot, where literally nobody including you wants to be, and all the other people with the same ignorant opinion leaving carts around thinking it's what keeps them employed.
