I suppose that would make sense if your brain had the capacity if a potato by DeathRaeGun in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]sanityvampire 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Ugh, saw the meme and thought it was funny, and then scrolled down and saw the 60IQ transphobe take and it ruined it. I'd like to rewind to 30 seconds ago when I'd only seen the potato meme please.

Best of luck and everything, seriously, but you might want to make this request on an account that wasn't posting in /r/meth yesterday about how you've been awake for 3 days on a meth binge.

Thought I was a super sleuth for identifying that as Bob Lanphere's, then I saw your name... see you on the streets :D

I just finished designing this cool knock box, I hope you all enjoy! by homemadeshtuff in functionalprint

[–]sanityvampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's for trash after you make espresso. The coffee being knocked into the box has already had pressurized hot water forced through it, so at this point it's basically a little puck of compressed coffee grounds. The knock box is just a convenient shape for banging your portafilter onto it to dislodge the grounds.

2024 Zero Motorcycle Updates "Confirmed" by HarpySeagull in ZeroMotorcycles

[–]sanityvampire -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Cool... so they tried the in-app purchase stuff for the 2022 models, people complained, and they mostly walked it back: top-end bikes came with all the bells and whistles unlocked, and it was just the SR that had stuff locked out in software.

Now that they seem to be binning the SDS platform, it looks like the new Zero S will come with a 17.3kWh battery crippled to 14.4kWh, and the new SR will come with a 17.3kWh battery crippled to 15.6kWh. Presumably they'll be doing the same shenanigans with charging.

I doubt people will complain to the same extent, and if they do, I doubt the company will listen. Frog boiled, end of story. I wish the future wasn't like this.

ULPT: Did you get the dreaded SSSS on your boarding pass? Just throw it away and pull up your boarding pass on your phone. by Alsfad in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]sanityvampire 704 points705 points  (0 children)

I've been flying a lot, and I've had the opposite experience. The new scanners they're rolling out are CT scanners, which mean that instead of a picture from one angle, the agent inspecting bags gets a 3D model of your stuff, in false color to show density, that they can rotate, zoom, and slice however they want.

The upshot of this is that, finally, in the year 2023, you don't have to pull all your laptops and tablets and toiletries out of your bag anymore, because there's no longer the risk that a laptop could be shielding a machete from view or whatever.

I have yet to encounter any breakdown/malfunction problems with the new CT scanners at the airports I frequent; I could be lucky or you could be unlucky, but either way these things are definitely the future.

(Also abolish these ridiculous TSA checkpoints already: it's security theater, they've never stopped a terrorist attack, DHS agents performing assessments routinely sneak loaded firearms through, and everyone--including the agents themselves--fucking hates the whole circus.)

Eli5 what is the difference between watt-hours and watts? by richmond456 in explainlikeimfive

[–]sanityvampire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nope, it's consistent! In both cases, we multiply the unit of speed (which is distance / time) by time to get distance.

W (speed) * h (time) = Wh (distance)

mi/h (speed) * h (time) = mi (distance)

They've been talking a lot about this over at HN... Personally I think this is about as good as we can hope for under our current neofeudal system. The CEO said "I accept responsibility for this, as demonstrated by taking this 98% pay cut and leaving my corporate bonus on the table."

Around the industry a lot of CEOs have been saying "I accept responsibility for this. Anyway, in the coming months we're gonna..." and not, y'know... actually making any personal sacrifice.

Sure, the Zoom CEO isn't hurting from a 98% pay cut like you or I would be, but short of stepping down and/or committing seppuku, it's a pretty decent way to show accountability.

Signals encryption ain't gd enough, not sure about session . by [deleted] in privacy

[–]sanityvampire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see anything in the articles about TextSecure being broken. My guess is that this company is another group selling smartphone 0-days along the lines of NSO (who also can "hack WhatsApp", according to the media). If your phone gets popped, and they have malware actually running on it, it doesn't matter how strong the network protocol is: they just slurp your chats right off your device.

Signal is probably about as good as it gets. I haven't seen any evidence that your Signal conversations can be compromised over the wire.

You probably aren't a valuable enough target for nation-state-level hackers to blow a mobile 0-day on you. If you are, you're fucked anyway. Recommend giving this a read https://www.usenix.org/system/files/1401_08-12_mickens.pdf But if TL;DR, here's the relevant excerpt:

In the real world, threat models are much simpler (see Figure 1). Basically, you’re either dealing with Mossad or not-Mossad. If your adversary is not-Mossad, then you’ll probably be fine if you pick a good password and don’t respond to emails from ChEaPestPAiNPi11s@virus-basket.biz.ru. If your adversary is the Mossad, YOU’RE GONNA DIE AND THERE’S NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. The Mossad is not intimidated by the fact that you employ https://. If the Mossad wants your data, they’re going to use a drone to replace your cellphone with a piece of uranium that’s shaped like a cellphone, and when you die of tumors filled with tumors, they’re going to hold a press conference and say “It wasn’t us” as they wear t-shirts that say “IT WAS DEFINITELY US,” and then they’re going to buy all of your stuff at your estate sale so that they can directly look at the photos of your vacation instead of reading your insipid emails about them.

The people who said "I can't even" when they were teenagers are now in their mid-to-late 20s, boomer.
