PawgerZ··on Defcon stiffs badge HW vendor, drags FW author offstage during talk
> the distribution of (potentially) unlicensed software

The creator didn't revoke the license until after the badges were distributed.

PawgerZ··on USPS text scammers duped his wife, so he hacked their operation
I don't think they understand what appeal to authority means. Better to just let it go.
PawgerZ··on Defcon stiffs badge HW vendor, drags FW author offstage during talk
Missed a couple crucial details

>I show up anyways since it was promised.

-you get asked to leave the stage

-you refused to leave the stage

-you told them they'd have to drag you off stage to get you to leave

>I get dragged off stage.

PawgerZ··on Susan Wojcicki has died
I love that 1 and 2 contradict each other

1. Because you are spending much of your energy and time getting around them.

2. People get so pompous as if they are combatting the behemoth by taking 10 seconds to download a program.

Crowdstrikes actions are akin to manslaughter while ransomwaring hospitals is more akin to murder.

Defering to an Expert =/= Appealing to Authority
PawgerZ··on Firefox Sidebar and Vertical tabs: try them out
Fellow tab hoarder here (though I pale in comparison to your 2630). I had the exact same experience starting with tree style tabs and switching to sideberry. Very comparable, but I agree that Sideberry feels a bit nicer, and it has wicked customizability settings.
PawgerZ··on TinyPod – Apple Watch case with scroll wheel
This entire point of this product is to use the apple watch inside this case instead of a phone. If you're using this product, no, you won't have a phone nearby and synced to it.
PawgerZ··on ICANN's list of abandoned vanity TLDs
It still works, but it redirects to google.com/maps
PawgerZ··on What everyone gets wrong about the 2015 Ashley Madison scandal
It's funny you consider immaturity to be limited to those under 18.
PawgerZ··on What everyone gets wrong about the 2015 Ashley Madison scandal
One I can think of off the top of my head is John Barilaro, ex-deputy premier of New South Wales, Australia.
PawgerZ··on Windows 11 is now enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
Can you explain what you mean when you say that it's the "only working desktop OS I am aware of"
PawgerZ··on Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free
Swedish court would have imposed a swift extradition to the United States.
PawgerZ··on Microsoft blocks Windows 11 workaround that enabled local accounts
Weird, I join teams meetings every wednesday from Thunderbird. I can either use the Today/Events Pane (f11 to toggle), the calendar tab (Alt+3), or find the email. To find the link in calendar view or from the events pane, all you have to do is double click on the event. The link, Meedting ID, passcode are all in the description box.

Maybe it was a previous issue that they fixed, but, for me, it's been working for months without a hitch.

PawgerZ··on Microsoft blocks Windows 11 workaround that enabled local accounts
It's not for everyone, but I have been having great success with Thunderbird for a mail client. Maybe give it a try and see if you like it.
PawgerZ··on Hacking millions of modems and investigating who hacked my modem
Germany is an outlier, not the norm, when it comes to security research
PawgerZ··on Cloudflare took down our website
Literal. Gotta make sure you're not hiding any numbers in there.
PawgerZ··on Most common PIN codes (2012)
Probably their child's birth year
PawgerZ··on Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure
How do we know that Russian and Ukrainian special services agents use telegram? Is that confirmed somewhere?
PawgerZ··on TOTP Authenticator for PalmOS
I have a copy of mirrorshades at home. I don't remember that being in any of the stories. Been a while since I read it, so you may be correct.
PawgerZ··on Helldivers 2 PSN account linking update will not be moving forward
The developer a casualty, but not in the way you're trying to portray. They were a casualty of Sony's descision to cut the game off from over half of the countries in the world. In addition, the Helldiver's team and CEO told everyone to let Sony know what we thought with our words and our pockets, so we did -- and it worked. I'd suggest looking into these things more before spouting nonsense.

To us, you come off as irrational trying to defend Sony while using the developers as your (unwilling) ammo.

PawgerZ··on FCC votes to restore net neutrality rules
I just don't understand how, if their problem is rent is too high and inflation doesn't apply to wages, they vote for Trump. He has made money his whole life by jacking up rent prices and paying people as little as he's legally allowed to (or less than that).
PawgerZ··on FCC votes to restore net neutrality rules
Trump wrote 220 in 4 years, averaging 55 EOs/year

Biden has written 138 in 3.25 years, averaging 42 EOs/year

PawgerZ··on Google fires more workers after CEO says workplace isn’t for politics
What happened to not using sarcasm when dealing with serious issues? Seems like pretty infantile behavior to me.
PawgerZ··on Most dating apps sell and share users' personal data
single =/= lonely. Some of the most lonely people I have ever known were in a longterm relationship or marriage.
PawgerZ··on Inside the Super Nintendo cartridges
If I recall correctly, there was a GBA expansion that measured blood sugar.

It's called the Didget blood glucose monitoring system, and I found it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_DS_accessorie...

PawgerZ··on How Nestlé gets children hooked on sugar in lower-income countries
Difficulty finding it could just be where you live? Every supplement shop within 50 miles of me (of which there are only 4) has an unflavored, unsweetened protein. And, if I type "unflavored unsweetened whey protein isolate" into amazon, there's 30 bags for me to choose from. I randomly clicked on 5 of the first page results, and none of them had a sweetener on their nutrition facts/ingredient list.

70% of statistics are made up.

The current suicide rates say otherwise
