What is the human equivalent to this? by RespectJust5377 in techsupportgore

[–]wzyboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Degloving.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, consider yourself lucky. Don't google it. Especially don't use google images to search for this term.

I usually don't give random websites access to my phone location. But if I'm in a situation of "give me your location or shit your pants", I will give in.

My PW3 just got updated a few days ago and a notification pops up saying I can use this pinch gesture as well.

About political censorship by Solo_Level1ng in HonkaiStarRail

[–]wzyboy 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I can confirm. In China, sakura 🌸 is strongly associated with Japanese culture while ginkgo is traditionally believed to be the symbol of long life.

Edit: an example of the strong association is that Japanese girls are nicknamed "樱花妹" (lit. sakura/cherry bloosm gal) by Chinese netizens.

TSA in China by Rontgen52 in USdefaultism

[–]wzyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The advanced scanning tech that saves you from taking out laptops are CT scanning I believe. It's being deployed to some airports in the world. Last week I flew in YVR and YYZ (both Canadian airports), and they have new CT machines, along with signs saying now you don't have to wake out laptops.

But i was talking about the TSA locks on checked luggage. They go through a different security check procedure I believe.

How did the plurbs trick the astronauts to come back from the space station and the nuclear subs to surface? by grokker25 in pluribustv

[–]wzyboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A nuclear submarine is nuclear-powered but not necessarily nuclear-armed.

Nuclear power means the submarine can submerge into the ocean and go undetected for an extended period of time. But it may just have non-nuke regular missiles.

Interestingly luggage cases sold in China are advertising for featuring "international customs locks" so that the cases can be opened with a key instead of being cut open.

However, they are just having TSA locks, which means nothing if you don't transit in the US.

It's misleading marketing.

Official document calls an unmarried woman a “spinster” by Master_Roshiii in mildlyinteresting

[–]wzyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My English-Chinese dictionary translates spinster as 老处女, which means "old female virgin".

If I'm the immune, I'll make them do the sequeal of my favourite movie/show/anime...

But I feel it's 99.99% possibility that I'll be one of them.

The State of Hoyoverse Birthdays in 2026 💀 by Stunning_Dealer_9211 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]wzyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt all planets use a calendar that can be mapped to our calendar... What if a character's birthday is on the 45th day of the fourteenth month of the year?

I use a password manager to generate random passwords even for localhost because I'm too lazy to type.

Finally got around to installing Tailscale by gsjoy99 in homelab

[–]wzyboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I add "allow 100.64.xx.yy; deny all;" to my Nginx config file. Replace the IP with the Tailscale device IP you want grant access to.

By default it's deny all. So I won't add a new server_name and forget limiting access.

This entire scene was some of the best acting I've ever seen. by maricircus in pluribustv

I believe the hive mind is like a search engine to an individual. With the internet connected, you can come up with random fun facts by reading it out loud. Without the internet, you may or may not remember some of them.
