You can stop using Twitter, you can't stop using your government.
jsjddbbwj··on DLL hijacking vulnerabilities in Nirsoft tools

jsjddbbwj··on The secret behind “unkillable” Android backdoor called xHelper has been revealed
>Triada gives them an immutable attribute, which prevents deleting, even by superusers. (Interestingly, the attribute can be deleted using the chattr command.)

jsjddbbwj··on Half of American workers would rather work from home forever: poll
Exactly the same thing would happen if you asked people if they'd rather be on vacation forever. Yes, but after a few months, they'd be begging to get back to work.

These kernel mode drivers would also exist for Linux if someone actually made games for Linux.

You don't play CSGO. If you play the free version it's practically impossible not to stumble upon a cheater every single match.

Another example, GTA online is practically unplayable on the PC whilst it's almost impossible to find cheaters on consoles.

jsjddbbwj··on Stuck at Fucking Home. I got bored and started compiling lists
Let me guess: American?

Windows has LTSC
jsjddbbwj··on Firefox 75.0

jsjddbbwj··on Firefox 75.0
That comment would be rude if it personally insulted the developers.
jsjddbbwj··on Firefox 75.0
Try Brave. Once you disable the crypto bullshit, which is like a couple clicks, it is a good browser.
jsjddbbwj··on Firefox 75.0

I agree with both your arguments.
jsjddbbwj··on 5G Virus Conspiracy Theory Fueled by Coordinated Effort

If you don't add anything of value then your comment has no value by definition.

jsjddbbwj··on Microsoft Edge is now the second most-used desktop browser
Go back to Slashdot with your "M$" bullshit
jsjddbbwj··on How We reduced our Google Maps API cost
