My mom always told me when I was a kid to make eye contact with the driver before crossing the street. I’m always surprised when a pedestrian gives me so much trust.


The upper middle class family of a childhood friend refused to wear seatbelts (1980s) because mom was injured by her seatbelt in an accident. I remember being surprised at their approach to risk reduction.
Kali Linux as Chad OS suggests this list is as much meme as truth so I wouldn’t worry about the rankings.

1440p screens are all monitors you sit 2-4’ from. That close you can justify a higher resolution but people pick 1440p for other reasons like frame rate.


Even if they were priced the same as 4K they would still be a bad value. Computers and consoles struggle with 4K 120Hz so 4 times the resolution is too much to ask.


I’m talking about brightness in context of 3d. KDE uses DDE with USB connected monitors which is the same thing as using a button to lower brightness.


It’s about 60”. That’s the point where we noticed pixels at 1080P. HDR is more important.


What’s dumb is that 3D failed because of lack of resolution and brightness, and now we have more pixels than we can handle and screens so bright they can hurt to look at. PS3 had a couple games that showed different screens to two players wearing 3D glasses. I’d love to see full screen couch coop games with modern tech. 8K isn’t solving any problems.

Who knows about stock holdings but we do know Trump accepts bribes, er donations, from American corporations.


Historically speaking or in your personal experience in the US?


“Microservices with delegated responsibility and elevated permissions, but sometimes hallucinates” is slightly more accurate. Claude Cowork probably won’t rm -rf / but what do I know.


GPU pass through with VFIO is literally how services like GeForce Now, PSN Streaming work. It’s not too buggy if your system is set up properly and it’s far better than dual boot.


Right now there is a penalty for not keeping it vacant. Say you’re an elderly homeowner in Los Angeles. Your husband died 15 years ago when the property you bought in 1970 for $35,000 was worth $500,000. The tax basis resets from $35k to $500k. But now the property is worth $2 million and you need to move into a retirement home due to your health. If you sell the house now, your family takes a capital gains tax hit on the $1.5 million of appreciation. If they wait until you die, the tax basis resets to current market value. If you make the qualifying event the move to the retirement home instead of death it would save on taxes but would give your kids a powerful incentive to move you out. Tl;dr most of the vacant homes I’m personally aware of are owned by elderly people with health issues.


That’s not at all the tl;dr!


I think the most important advice is to use a separate disk/SSD for your home directory so if you screw something up or if you want to change directions, you don’t lose your files. Some of my vendor contracts actively require that I do just this.
They did gove some advice. They said to go with a vendor that is transparent about problems and reveals the results of their third party security audits. I’m sure if you read between the lines it means they likely reviewed several vendors and chose to spend their time attacking ones that are opaque about their security stance and used outdated encryption or bad implementations of E2E encryption. So all three are likely suspect. Like if 1Password were developed similarly to LastPass wouldn’t they have spent time attacking it?
