Once in bridge mode it's no longer acting as a router, so it should mostly be fine. The firewall on your actual router will be present between the modem/internet and your machines.
Owning your own router also helps avoid lock-in. I just switched ISPs and it was relatively painless since I could just plug my router into the new box, maintaining all my config. (At least in theory; since all ISPs are terrible, they misconfigured their own modem, so I had to figure out how to log in and switch it to bridge mode. But after that, painless...)
The real problem with thinkpads is that the 14" is still stuck with that 55Wh battery in the service of shaving a fraction of a pound, while cheaper 14" laptops have 75+Wh batteries that last considerably longer.
Depends what causes things to stick to the flat Earth. IIRC flat earthers have various explanations for gravity, including the disc continuously accelerating upward; in that case you'd experience the same force everywhere on it.
Anyone else's brain find this... I guess stressful, rather than relaxing? Something about them connecting but never hanging on, and the bits never all coming together, I think.
If you do it that way, the garbage contaminates everything else, making recycling much more difficult or impossible. Especially for paper and cardboard, which is very recyclable.
Always curious when I see comments like these whether they're from literal Russian trolls. Or if not, then what exactly brought the person to a place where they will deny basic reality in order to show support for a brutal, expansionist dictatorship for.. some reason.
Yep, exactly. Very few of my friends are religious at all, but we all celebrate Christmas. Not as a religious holiday, but as a time that by tradition we spend time and share gifts and love with friends and family.
Sorry, I'm still not clear what the advantage is, compared to storing unique passwords in 1pw. If a site is hacked, the only thing at risk is my data on that specific site, which would be the case either way. I definitely understand how they would be easier and more secure for people who don't use a pw manager, but that's not my question.
What is the advantage of passkeys compared to managing unique passwords with 1pw? Is there any tangible benefit to switching, besides that Google et al will stop hounding you to do so?
You just need to know the injury claims of those drivers vs the average to compare.
But I agree, if I were to trust such a system, I'd want it to be a better driver than me, not than average. (And like everyone, I believe I'm significantly above average...)
> For example, in my social circles, there have been two waves of people migrating from iPhones to Android phones over the past few years. Both waves happened due to Apple PR snafus which caused a lot of people to think that iPhones were terrible at something when, in fact, they were better at that thing than Android phones. Luckily, iPhones aren't strictly superior to Android phones and many people who switched got a device that was better for them because they were previously using an iPhone due to good Apple PR, causing their errors to cancel out.
It would be cool if someone could build a chimney ERV: extract heat from the dirty air produced by fire, and inject it into fresh air pulled into the living space. So I guess basically it would function like a regular ERV, but with a fire in the exhaust path. (Probably not feasible with a wood fire, but maybe with gas?)
I'm not convinced those are the only options, at least if option 1 is purely economic. I could imagine a society that is more geared toward supporting children and parents, and encouraging parenthood, in other ways. ie. 'parenting as a village' or other things along those lines. Don't know how to transform the society we have into one that looks like that though.
People (at least used to) pay for magazines and newspapers, which have also been partially supported by ads forever. Perhaps a more sustainable balance would be only first-party ads (ie no individualized tracking) for paying subscribers?
As the article says, a book is not the ink, but the words. I am not my physical atoms, but the connections that form my thought patterns and memories. If it were possible to make a perfect copy of those things, the copy would be "me". If the original still existed, that would also be (a different) me.
You could use the Dow though. It varied from 2700 to 2900 in 1950, and is now about 45,000, so about a 16x increase, while inflation over the same period has been about 30x. However the index price doesn't account for dividends, so total return has been much larger.
People take actions every day that affect others, some negatively and some positively, and don't receive consent for each one. We don't need consent to put exhaust or other harmful chemicals into the air, and those are an explicit negative. Something like this could be a huge positive, potentially saving millions of lives. If the projected benefits to risks are sufficient (and I'm not saying they necessarily are, but if that turned out to be the case based on further testing), there is a point at which it would be worthwhile, despite it not being possible to get individual consent.
