Gaming@lemmy.zip•Vanguard takes screenshots of your PC every time you play a game
61·2 years agoIntriguing.
I don’t have any games that use Vanguard, but if I did, I’d be queuing them up for some TLS interception and analysis.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Recommendations for boots, Male with flat feet
4·2 years agoI’ve got a pair of Merrell hiking shoes and some basic heavy duty insoles from Dr. Scholls. My only issue was getting used to the lack of material under the toes, causing them to angle down a bit.
I recommend starting with the insoles first, see if they provide the support you need. If that doesn’t help, I recommend escalating to a doctor. They can provide better shoe recommendations than us randos on Lemmy.

politics @lemmy.world•Opinion | The Supreme Court Has Already Botched the Trump Immunity Case
231·2 years agoThe only thing that got botched is that thumbnail. Why do the Roman style columns look like an M.C. Escher painting?
The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing.
To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we alll recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. The return of the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart.
Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart present itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it. No one will punish you for not retunrning the shopping cart, no one will fine you or kill you for not returning the shopping cart, you gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.
A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it.
The shopping cart is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.

Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 10 will start pushing users to use Microsoft accounts. How to turn it off.
93·2 years agoKnock it off, Microsoft. You’re not my buddy, you’re an OS. Your job is to sit down, shut up, and run the programs I choose. That’s it.
If I find a function that’s useful for more than a week, I might make a batch file for it. Until then, you’re spare code.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Do you forget that you need to update your system?
2·2 years agoOnly for version updates. Beyond that, dnf-automatic handles those invisibly in the background. I only notice them when Firefox gets an update and demands a relaunch before it lets me keep browsing.

Star Wars Memes@lemmy.world•Who would win: Borg Cube or Death Star?
23·2 years agoOh. This just opened up a terrifying thought. The Borg would take one look and go, “Shit, we need one of those.” And then we’ll eventually have a Borg giga-cube on our hands.
Could be from scratch, could be from amalgamating all their other cubes. Either way, terrifying.
And here we see a future Boston City driver in training.

What Could Go Wrong@lemm.ee•Guy who tortured a wolf and paraded it's body around is now receiving death threats
308·2 years agoMost people are under the impression that the cow is dead before it hits the ground, and way before it even goes in the grinder for processing.

Technology@lemmy.world•X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in domain names, breaking legit URLs
21·2 years agoOr the XCOM games.
SIP providers usually sell numbers in contiguous series for businesses. For example, if your company buys a block of 50 numbers, the SIP provider then allocates XXX-5100 to XXX-5150.
But since you’re keeping this strictly internal, you don’t have to worry about that.
Step 3: unfuck the SIP settings, then email both HR and their supervisor to throw them under the bus. Also covers your ass for step 4.
Step 4: Route the manager’s calls to a disconnected number. When they come knocking about their phone not working, tell them, “No, you should be able to dial out, unless someone changed the SIP trunk settings and didn’t tell me.”
Assuming you already have the IP phones, you need two things. A PBX server (for the VoIP stuff), and a SIP trunk with a block of external phone numbers.
Start with the PBX server software, there’s several free/open-source implementations. Once you’re comfortable with it and have internal calling good to go, then you can spend on the SIP trunk and number blocks.

Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•Why do certain brands of smart TV's exclude specific apps. For instance if you have an LG TV you cannot add the MLB app
51·2 years agoI don’t know of any exclusivity deals for apps. Haven’t heard of that being a thing.
It’s more likely an android versioning issue, where the app is too old to run on the TV.
Is this one of those vanilla memes that I’m too ReVanced to understand?
Counterpoint: Having those questions posited here does mean we can start getting fediverse traction in Google. Even if it’s a tiny amount.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•President Biden is now posting into the fediverse
18·2 years agoThere’s also a limited federation mode that server admins can use. Users and posts are still searchable, but they do not show on the public federated feed.
Useful for this exact case where a server may have beneficial accounts, but the rest should be hidden for moderation reasons.Still would prefer it being on a proper mastodon server, but I can live with this. Whatever server ends up hosting a President’s account now has to deal with record preservation laws for their posts. Let’s leave that bureaucratic stuff to threads.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google now blocks spoofed emails for better phishing protection
231·2 years agoHaving managed an exchange instance for my old job, I can safely say that DKIM and DMARC are just some extra DNS entries for out-of-band verification. They can be boiled down to a pair of checkboxes on a compliance sheet.
I can also say that most of the companies we got emails from didn’t have DKIM, and even fewer had DMARC. Or worse, they had DMARC set to p=ignore. Which is honestly even more infuriating.






I’ve always envisioned such a device to be structured like window slat blinds.
The slats lay horizontal when not in use to minimize view obstruction, and rotate into position on command.
