In my mind, nothing with a circuit board is disposable. Pains me to see it.

The dream is still alive in small countries the corporations don’t care about! I sail in vast oceans without VPN.

I drove to Italy to a gamestop to buy two and two links. My first and last time in a gamestop!

Oh wow! Switzerland! How did you get so big!?

Cyrillic: First time?

She wants to implement free child care? What a monster! HIGHER minimum wage?! What the actual fuck?! Who wants more money?

Oh man, I’ve thought about this many many times. I don’t know shit about real pinball tables so I had no idea if it were actually possible, but I leaned more towards probably not. The physics didn’t seem recreateable. I even thought about how I’d probably put a small vacuum pump for the gravity hole in the center!
I hope they succeed and I hope it feels as authentic as possible.

Gold for me. Its worth a bit more and will probably increase in value over time. Money will lose value over time.
Since I don’t plan on spending it all at once, right this moment, it works better in my favor if it appreciates in value. I’m too much of a pussy to invest, so I’d probably let the bills rot too.
I’d sell the gold bit by bit, underground if need be, to avoid taxes.
I’d pick money only if I actually needed 50 million in cash right now and had a way to launder it… that is, if these were $100 bills.

Depends on which part? Tldr; mostly no.
The user facing software can do everything including control all the exotic hardware components like the dispenser module and knows how to talk to the atm or bank network to do transactions. That thing is closed.
The operating system can vary from linux based to windows based. I’ve seen machines which boot into the desktop and just start the app. If you had a keyboard, you could alt tab back to the desktop lol. They’re often made in Java.
The drivers and control software for the mechanical components (dispenser, card reader…) are also proprietary. There’s a specification for how communication between software and these devices is done, called WS/XFS. Not open source, but you can get it and read it to understand better how the software communicates with the hardware.

Jesus was loaded… typical carpenter.

All you need:

Wow was fantastic when it came out. I never had the money to pay for a subscription so I played on pirate servers. I never got to the endless grind stages, but I adored exploring the early zones with all the original classes. The world looked great, the magic felt real and the fantasy was engrossing. I don’t think I ever made it passed lvl 35 on any characters, but thoroughly enjoyed getting there, sometimes with friends and sometimes alone.

Neo was powerful. I wonder if he could have gained the same abilities, without the help of Morpheus, throughout his time in the matrix. Were he able to do so, he could have lived a nice life inside. I guess Neo felt a higher calling to free mankind or something, so he left… or maybe Morpheus just didn’t tell him the whole picture before offering the pill. Morpheus probably needed a powerful warrior and just rolled the dice on Neo, deciding to not exactly paint the whole picture.
Anyway… had I known the whole picture, I’d have stayed inside.

This kinda kills the value proposition of a deck. Its a good machine, but struggles with high end titles. Were the performance or battery life better, I’d have overlooked the price but its still the same machine. A more powerful successor would fit this price point, not the original machine.

As long as alternatives or similar products exist at current prices, the deck will be a hard sell.

Its because this stupid word was everywhere when our minds were being trained on IRC and MSN lol

My use cases are:

• Connect from multiple devices on the same home network (with the application)
• Connect from a phone device on the internet (with the application)
• Connect from some PC’s and devices on the internet (with the application and from web browser)

For home networked devices, I don’t care about security that much. I try to lock it down on the router level and by using VLANs for less secure devices. I connect via IP directly (or .local domain).

Jellyfin runs under its own user with read access to a media library.

For devices on the internet, I have jellyfin exposed on a specific url path of my domain - through a reverse proxy all through 443. A bit of security through obscurity here. I’m proxied through cloudflare on the DNS side with very restrictive IP rules.
I think this is enough for the security flaws jellyfin does have. I’d sleep better at night if it had client certificate support, but Its not a big deal imo. If security flaws allowing remote code execution are found, I’ll shut it down and allow access through wireguard only and lose access from some devices on the internet where I cant use VPNs. Not a bit deal either.

That blog post is pure hilarity.

I did and expected to find an image in the article. See, had I posted this on lemmy, I’d have posted an article closer to the source, with the photos. I assumed others would do the same. I assume too much, sorry.

Why no photo?
Seems like a photo of a pipe dislodging black sludge next to a photo of a tesla factory in a news page would instill a better sense of “evil corporation” to me.
