Mark Rober.

He got louder, flashier, less techy and more talky and is doing a gazillion reruns of the same general idea over and over. Can’t really enjoy it anymore.

viking, to privacy in How Do I Avoid Giving Home Address to Bank?
@viking@infosec.pub avatar

Banks require a physical address, that’s part of basic KYC (know your customer) requirements and part of anti money laundering / anti terrorism funding laws.

So they won’t accept P.O. boxes. While those mail forwarders can work, some will also blacklist them over time.

And really, ask yourself the question if you want your cards, PIN, and general correspondence about your finances mailed to a random third party where some underpaid person opens up and scans your letters all day…

Not quite sure what you mean with whitepages btw., your bank is not signing you up anywhere.

viking, to asklemmy in Do you have a favorite restaurant only available in your area?
@viking@infosec.pub avatar

Every proper restaurant is unique. I believe you are talking about fast-food joints.

Fennec (Firefox based), with Ghostery and uBlock origin installed.

You’ll have to set add-ons up as a private collection for them to work, but it’s easy as pie.

My friend’s dad has a CNC machine that requires floppy disks to load the design patterns. He’s worried that a mechanical failure of the disk drive will eventually be the end of it, rather than the machine itself being obsolete. It’s been going strong for almost 40 years now.

I think Edge is the only browser on Linux that can display 1080p videos, not even chromium does.

But yeah I won’t install Edge, ever.

Yeah he talks like he’s on coke now. Borderline unwatchable. I bet you can reduce the playback speed by 50% and it would de-stress the whole experience.

That phase-out was in the works for 15+ years. Pretty sure I’ve read somewhere that the UK has been stalling it for years, so they definitely knew it was coming.

Shame they lost their voice in the EU commission and have yet another consequence of their own actions to swallow.

Send her home? It’s not like you are forced to spend a whole day with a hookup?

@viking@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah but you need to use a Tesla.

Yeah I don’t like automatic either, and have an aversion towards anything that needs a touchscreen to operate.

viking, to memes in Age range
@viking@infosec.pub avatar

You mean 18-99? Haven’t used tinder in ~7 years or so, but I believe there was an upper limit. Found out by trial and error that apparently some women enter their year of birth instead of their age, when I matched with someone who was allegedly 97 years old.

Videos from Amazon Prime, Netflix etc., not general videos. I can watch 4k videos in Firefox without any problems, if there’s no rights management in place.
