Ignorance is not stupidity.

Despite this being reported on tech news, most people won’t even be aware that it’s a thing because most people won’t actually read about it. And the majority of gamers probably don’t even know what a kernel is or why an anti-cheat with elevated privileges would be a bad thing.

Most people buy their computers with Windows preinstalled and probably couldn’t tell you if the CPU is Intel or AMD.


I just meant you can have an internal fan that’s larger than your heatsink, and a shroud to direct the airflow to it. It requires less vertical space, but more horizontal space.


You can use a larger fan and a shroud to redirect the air flow, similar to how laptops are cooled.



Automating Spotify downloads?
Is there a way to automatically locally save Spotify music as I listen to it? Or to access/convert the files that Spotify saves for offline playback?

Could be both, but more likely just the labeling issue. They probably just don’t have the amount of caffeine listed on them. It’s probably not intentionally misrepresenting the amount of caffeine. More likely, they just weren’t aware of the local laws when they decided to sell their products here. After all, they’re all listed as not having bilingual packaging.


The judge in question had already decided that the person was a terrorist, and used all the privacy measures they used as evidence that they had something to hide.

It wasn’t just the fact that they used ad blockers, but the fact that they used encryption and software that most people wouldn’t bother to learn. That, and the fact that they taught others to do the same. Apparently, being technologically literate and concerned about privacy makes you a terrorist.

It’s disgusting that a judge can rule on things that they are totally ignorant about. I haven’t followed the entire thing, so I don’t know if there was a ruling or if the trial is still ongoing, but there have been articles about the judge’s statements.


We’ve never had it this bad before. I know other places have had really bad fires, especially over the past couple years, but this is new for Quebec.

Climate change letting us know we fucked up.


It’s basically an archive of the last state of RARBG before it was taken down, it’s not getting updated.


If the games you play are competitive ones, sure. Only because the devs or publishers actively choose to exclude linux. So far, I’ve yet to try a game that hasn’t worked on linux.

What are programs that you use for work that don’t have linux equivalents or are incompatible? I’ve made the full switch, but if I really need to, I can remote into a Windows work computer for specific things like SAP access.



More likely is a specific file-naming trick that lets you use right-to-left writing to make a file look like something it’s not. When it’s written backwards, you can make iva.scr look like rcs.avi, and the target will just think it’s a video file when it’s actually an executable. If you’re not paying attention, you may not notice that Windows Explorer shows a .avi extension but lists the file as an executable. Hell, if you open the file directly from your torrent app, it may not even list the file type at all. In effect, it’s not hiding a payload in a video file, just disguising the payload as a video file.
