  • I saw someone on YouTube pissed that they bought 700 ebooks from Amazon and now that they enforce a harder DRM he can't read them anymore.

    Bruh, you voted with your wallet to get DRM in your ebooks. You can't complain if one day they change the encryption

  • Is this UPS a fire hazard?

    The batteries in this UPS lasted less than a year. It was because those battery were "no name" batteries, or because they were connected in series directly to the AC after the transformer? Shouldn't they have a rectifier and condenser before that? It seems that in this way the battery is connected to AC 24/7

    Developers: "Yes, the users love cluttered homes, just put everything there and ignore guidelines"
  • Screenshot is from Windows where dotfiles aren't hidden by default. And all the lazy developers that created those directories, didn't bother to set the hidden attribute (See appdata is greyed, because it has the hidden attribute set)

  • What the fuck are you saying??
  • Absolutely misunderstood, it's just to point that with the current policies, even 25 years olds in a relationship will feel pregnancy as a huge economic problem and choose abortion over bankruptcy

    And for victims of rape, underage, when there's a congenital problem that has been discovered in the early exams, the abortion should be even encouraged by the doctors

  • What the fuck are you saying??
  • No, it's to point out that this "anti abortion" policy is all about punishing those whores that had sex outside wedding, as if it's something you do alone and not with a man.

    If they really care about minimizing the abortion rate, they should enact policies that help the woman after birth, and not give decades of financial struggles as "punishment for having fun that night"

    Personally, I am pro-"let the people do what the fuck they want with their bodies"

  • What the fuck are you saying??
  • In my country:

    • the payment for all the exams done during the pregnancy cost €0
    • The delivery itself costs €0
    • if the woman was working, will continue to get full salary until the baby is 5 months old (can opt for longer but then the salary is reduced)
    • The government will pay to the parent a monthly check of some hundreds euro (according to the income)
    • Preschool is free (although need to pay canteen fees)

    I'm guessing the poster is from that country where if you aren't insured you're going to pay 20k for the delivery and then you're going to financially struggle until the end, right?

    In that country people is choosing abortion not because having a baby is unaffordable, but only because they're evil monsters

  • Republicans be like
  • Also the beauty of H1B visa people is that because they have to leave the country (or find another job) in 30 days in the even that they get fired, it means they are perfect for assholes like that billionaire. "Agree to do this or go back to that shit hole"

  • Asus bombards Windows 11 with christmas.exe malware-like Christmas wreath banner
  • The manager who approved this need to be fired. Programs need to ask permission to the user before installing, especially when they're not device drivers.

    This is literal malware and there's also a chance that it might be exploited (example: a mitm Attack exchanges the file that armory crate is downloading)

    This kind of Easter egg is not funny at all, developers must avoid undocumented time bombs. I still remember that day 15 years ago when I turned on my Wii and it said that the system files were corrupted. After hours of reverting a full nand backup via bootmii (and losing 2 years of game saves) it turned out that it was a funny April's fool by crediar, which put a fake system corruption message when you run his program on April 1st. Problem is that his program was a loader for the system menu so it was unavoidable if you didn't know that.

    Like me, there must be someone paranoid that saw that black bar on the screen, saw a weird Christmas.exe running on their system, and starting wiping or restoring old images to "clean" that.

  • Operating sysrule
  • Most keyboard shortcuts are illogical (=differ too much from Linux/Windows) and too often require 3+ keys

    Of course if you're used to "Ctrl+shift+command+3" to do a screenshot instead of just pressing the dedicated button on the keyboard and feel it natural, this doesn't apply to you

  • Operating sysrule
  • When Microsoft forced the grouped windows in windows 11 I was crazy. Luckily some hobbyists in their spare time fixed what the multibillion corporation with hundreds of thousands of engineers was unable to do in over two years (explorerpatcher)

  • Operating sysrule
  • Well for me it's the opposite. I set once my settings with the domain group policy a decade ago and in every single windows PC that I own I have the perfect settings from the out of the box experience as soon as the first login

    And no need to set 30 key remaps with karabiner

  • La "sorpresa" dell'uovo Kinder che danno oggi è un semplice pezzo di plastica rettangolare...

    Ci sono rimasto malissimo. Dentro l'uovo Kinder adesso c'è un pezzo di plastica neutra, dove bisogna appiccicare a mano un adesivo che agisce da "QR code" per l'app proprietaria

    Bello!

    This scammer pretending to be Greenpeace

    Yes, believable, from all the payment methods available, Greenpeace would choose the most fucking inefficient one, that wastes 700 kWh for a single transaction, that's 100 households!

    This scam is approved and doesn't go against Google's policies

    It was a video of someone pretending to tell you a secret: thanks to a new israeli app based on ai, it's possible to make 8000 euro per month with trading by just opening an account with their referral and depositing 500 euro. 100% safe and definitely not a scam.

    Maybe not a literal scam but imho deceiving people just because they're going to give you $100 in referral money is a scam

    I copied 2TB of data on an exfat disk from a dying Mac. Then on Windows this data is (almost) missing

    I have an old mac with a dying hfs hdd with failing SMART. I copied 2tb of data on an exfat drive but windows only sees only 3 directories and 80gb. Where's my other stuff? Now after I did that long copy session that lasted a whole day, the disk died from stress and the mac doesn't boot anymore. Even if it boots, i don't think the disk can last another full copy session...

    Testdisk can show the data, there's a way to tell windows that the files are there?

    imgur.com My PC isn't recognizing any NVME drives, anything wrong with my BIOS settings? There are WAY too many options...

    I got a new Mobo. Windows installer doesn't see the nvme drive. For some reason the bios has a million settings and are all alien to me.

    I took a lot of photos of all the settings, so many unknown entries

    The motherboard is from an unknown Chinese OEM and it's using a laptop core i7 but in a itx form factor. I have no idea of the brand, really. The box just says "motherboard" and there's no silkscreen on the PCB (it was very fun guessing which pins were for the front panel). No user manual was included. The bios it says "version: default string"

    I hate when OEMs lock down bios settings but here is the opposite, they enabled everything
