Oh, my sincerest apologies, I had mentioned them to some other people and they legitimately didn’t know.

I think it is intended more for the relatively hidden cameras on some glasses. A body cam (at least currently) looks pretty obviously like a recording device, whereas some of the perv goggles can hide the lense pretty well.

Simple as it sounds, you just plug them into a wall outlet and as long as the grid is powered, it will feed power back into your house. The grid being powered requirement means they don’t work during blackouts, but that is mainly intended to avoid electrocuting a line worker when they expect the line not to have any power.

I’m in! As long as I don’t have to get rid of my psx, PSP, ps2, ps3, and ps4. I promise not to give them another dime, or use any of their shitty online services… Though to be honest I started boycotting them about the time the first Destiny expansion was launched.

Ubisoft appears to have been slowly pulling out of the gaming industry, making the play that people want to play their stuff enough to buy a dedicated computer to play it.
If the game can’t run outside of Windows, even an emulated Windows environment, it may as well not exist. Which sucks because I remember some people telling me this one was good like a decade ago or so…

True, but while I have access to something I back it up by nature. They can probably take it off of something they can access but those devices don’t have access to my whole network so I’m gonna stick with my original thought, Sony can fuck right off.
(Really good points though)
She was just a bit shy of 80, so I don’t think she qualifies for this list.

If the button said “Buy” or “Purchase”, ownership of that item is transferred (obviously not the IP itself). After you buy it, the supreme court has weighed in that you can make your own backups of “media” previously so Sony can fuck right off.

Yeah, sadly I don’t think it will either, I’m just hoping the jury decides the precedent they truly want to set.
- ITGuyLevi@programming.devtoTechnology@lemmy.world•U.S. Citizen Who Deleted Phone’s Data Says His Prosecution Puts Privacy at RiskEnglish9·9 days ago
The issue I’m seeing with the whole case is they siezed his phone, they kept his phone, the seizure of his property happened successfully. A person later entered something they believed would open it but instead it wiped it. The end user didn’t wipe it, and didn’t lie to the agents of the state because a duress PIN is still a PIN, I’m willing to wager they didn’t specify that they wanted his ‘unlock PIN’ and instead just asked him for a PIN (personal identification number), which he gave.

I had to RTO to an empty building, after a year and a half or two, two more people moved into the building. All I can think is ‘why must I sit in traffic for an hour everyday to be 80 miles away from my coworkers?’… Then the mortgage comes due and I remember why I deal with the traffic and remember how nice it is not really being contactable after hours (computer stays in the office). I gave way too many free hours away just because I was already in the home office while I ate breakfast or hung out during lunch just because.

I’ve been using an old rack server to run a handful of containers (Authentik, jotty, crap like that) for the past few years… I’d been gathering parts for a while and when I built it I had 768GB of ddr4 laying around, so that’s what it got. Well for the past year I’ve been wanting to shift to something lower power… It might be the time to make the investment into an usff pc and scrap this thing out.

I don’t code either but prefer the Gitea instance in my basement over anything MS hosts.

WMIC allows an amazing amount of control for admins that know what they are doing. One of my favorite uses was back when I worked helpdesk, users would exit Lync and be unreachable, well WMIC can allow an admin to open that app back up in the users session and then they are suddenly reachable again.
Some people use the old psexec, others have been using WMIC since before powershell even existed.

I mainly carry thumbdrives for larger files or things I don’t want hosted online.

That’s what I would go with if I was inclined. Create a volume the size of the drive and add a hidden volume with a different password within like we’ve been doing for years (decades at this point maybe almost).

DrunkenSlug is another great indexer, invite only and about $30 USD per year for their top offering.
Man I eventually stopped fighting that hurdle and just changed the login screen to say “Broken-ass auth” so I remember that one is different. I’m the only person using it at my house and recently went back to a car with a CD player and USB port for infotainment (such a refreshing change after a decade and a half of screens in my face) so I haven’t bothered to go back to fix it.
