It should be noted that this affects their BackBlaze backup client that operates alongside their unlimited personal storage solution. I doubt these issues exist with B2 storage where you can store whatever you want.

I’ve never used their personal backup plan because it’s for backing up a single machine. I have servers all over so I just use them for their S3 compatible object storage which is still a decent deal.

Sounds like he wants to have his cake and eat it too.

Actual cyberpunk is actually looking better than the trajectory of reality because a cornerstone of cyberpunk dystopias are populations so large there are plenty of tucked away places to make some semblance of a life for yourself outside of the prying eyes of big brother. There’s still enough privacy left intact for seedy underbellies to exist.

This is funny to me because I was homeschooled specifically so I wouldn’t become an uneducated yokel lmao

There’s plenty of opportunity to socialize as a homeschooler. The stereotype exists because many (most?) homeschooled kids are so because the isolation and rejection of social norms is the point. But there’s also a demographic of them that exist because they live in bad school districts and don’t have the money for private school.

Neighborhood kids form bonds with other neighborhood kids regardless of the school they go to. Homeschool kids are more often than not allowed to join their local school sports teams as well. I think you’d be surprised how many people you’ve met who were homeschooled that you’d never guess.

You can access the RAS feed for the newsletter for free, but if you want to be able to read it in your RSS client without having to visit the site directly you have to become a member.

I read the reviews too, 95% of which indicate the opposite. Perhaps you should learn to read.

You’d be surprised at how many games run on Mac natively. RE2 Remake on a MacBook Air is surprisingly good.

That being said you can’t expect every indie game to run natively in every OS.

it’s a shallow game covered in style.

That’s not a preference, and there doesn’t appear to be any evidence that it’s even true. I don’t like or dislike the game, you’ve just made a determination about the game based on literally nothing while all available evidence we do have (the reviews) indicate the opposite.

The reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Out of nearly 2,000 reviews less than 100 are negative at all.

It’s sponsored by one Republican and one Democrat.

Back in what day? 25 years ago this is exactly what happened with the dotcom bubble and it was just as silly.

Buying profiling data from Google is not nearly as effective at tracking and controlling your online activity as integrating facial scans and government ID checks into every website or even directly into your operating system.

Frankly a brand new account pushing the “The government is already tracking you, there’s nothing you can do about it, don’t worry about all the new ways they can track you, just give in” narrative is a little suspicious.

It is in fact a government conspiracy to track you. Not necessarily to gather data on you, which can be purchased from brokers, but so that they can also control what you can access.

There’s no mechanism that the government currently has that can track you as effectively as these age verification laws can.

It’s a clumsy attempt to strongarm tech companies into setting up factories in the USA

Evidently not since Netgear has zero factories in the USA and plans to bring zero factories to the USA in the future.

It may also be an attempt to create an environment in which it’s easier to install US government backdoors on every home router.

It’s this one.

Then they’re not volunteers. They’re PRN employees. What you have in your town is a paid, professional fire department.

Volunteers on the other hand not paid. They don’t make a dime at any fire call. The law generally allows small, nominal cash rewards as incentives while still being considered volunteer, like awarding a couple hundred bucks at the end of the year for top responders, or a small dispensation of cash per call, but that’s it.

More than 80% of the fire departments in the United States operate this way, with over 65% of firefighters in the country being unpaid volunteers. The firefighters in your town are not included in these numbers.

The problem with that is, how do we make glasses like these illegal without also making any type of filming in public illegal?

A good start would be for more states to adopt wiretapping laws with two-party consent models. Only 11 states have these on the books currently.

What a puerile take lol

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

More accurate colors, and they fixed the longstanding issue with the bluray 1080p release where the frame wasn’t cropped correctly, which made it so you couldn’t see certain things you were supposed to see, and saw other things you weren’t, like empty parts of sets or camera shadows, things like that.

You can see what I mean here in this review with comparison shots: https://highdefdiscnews.com/2021/06/24/willy-wonka-and-the-chocolate-factory-4k-uhd-blu-ray-review/

Most firefighters in the U.S. are volunteer, and make no money at all. Being paid per call is not the norm.
