Shorthand for a loan I imagine.

Exactly. Most cloud virtualization providers you just take a snapshot of the virtual disk and provide that when requested and the customer never has a clue that is happened. I’d get contacted by our legal department, told that my boss was only to be told that I was working for them for now and no other details, and then directed on what they needed a copy of and how to send it to them.

Honestly? The only thing that comes in the mail is bills and ads. I can’t remember the last time I mailed something, and it’s very rare that something I care about is coming to me by mail. Why do I care if the ads I’m about to sort through and throw away took 2 days or 7 days to get to me? I don’t want them either way.

If it’s housed in its own case, it’s a power brick.

This is a line lump, the alternative to the wall wart. Both were slang terms, it just sounds like only one of them stuck around.

That’s what gets me. This feels like an attempt to pass responsibility on and deflect away from the fact that the authorities were alerted and involved and did nothing to stop it.

I don’t know of a way to determine an SSID over the internet from just an IP, no. I’d either need to sniff traffic from your machine or run software on your machine to get the information to then lookup in one of the maps/databases.

It’s far from the only source of this data, and yes it can be used to geolocate you: https://hackers-arise.com/osint-tracking-the-suspects-precise-location-using-wigle-net/

I can’t find a link now, but I remember seeing an article in the past about watching for what networks someone’s laptop checks to see if they are available (saved networks it auto-joins) and using them to determine likely physical locations it is commonly located in.

No. You can get an anime body pillow, and it might be of your waifu, but they are separate things. Not all waifus are body pillows.

Yeah, I can see the bias they are trying to account for, but fail to see how excluding a birth from the statistics helps combat this in any way. Just because you stopped having kids doesn’t have any effect on the gender of your last kid.

I’m in this comment and I don’t like it.

What’s with the hate for rain sounds? Absolutely helps some people sleep.

You grossly underestimate how much some people truly love the idea of highly personalized ads. People who believe they are the best possible outcome and cannot fathom why anyone would have any problem with them at all. That’s who you are asking to dogfood this product, and they would and would find no issues with it.

Brandshield sent a fraud report to the domain registrar. Unless they are also your hosting provider, a domain registrar has no control over individual pages, only over the domain as a whole. So this was the only action you could expect to be taken, if you expected the domain registrar to act, and you sent them a fraud report hoping they’d act. So claiming they only tried to take an individual page down is disingenuous at best, and more likely just an out and out lie.

I mean, that’s how I use it. Don’t know what you’re doing.

This isn’t the very beginning, but a lot of the discussion can be read here - https://community.home-assistant.io/t/consider-to-avoid-adding-library-dependencies-from-frenck/315185

Arch is a great alternative to Linux and Linux is a great alternative to Linux.

You would be looking for the Texas Citizens Participation Act. That’s Texas’ Anti-SLAPP law. No idea how it holds up in comparison to other states’ though.

If you

understand what it is you’re replacing, what you’re replacing it with, and how to use the replacement

then you, almost by definition, are an advanced user.

A beginner should avoid these things, once you are far enough along to understand why you might want to replace one of these things, and form your own opinion on it, then go right ahead. But you’re no longer a beginner at that point.
