I use PIA a lot, But yeah a lot of VPNs are getting flagged as malicious these days, to be fair there's a lot of malicious people doing things on them.

I'm fairly certain he just tell you if you got him doing his rambling thing.

That's a fairly long time ago now and the crypto token crap is off by default. As far as I know they are the only browser with a paid development team that is trying to combat YouTube ads. And they're blocking technique is unique amongst the options we have. If it comes down to using Brave for YouTube, I have no problem with doing that.

With the change in political atmosphere I suspect they're going to get a lot more leeway to do things we don't care for. I wonder if they could lobby to make ad blocking illegal.

There's a lot of people out there running automation to keep their servers secure. Well I agree any automation out there should be able to flag and upgrade excluded, It would seem to me like Microsoft should own some of the blame for a full ass hard to uninstall OS update fed in with the same stream and without it interaction. I kind of expect my OS in stall pop up a window and say hey a****** this is going to upgrade your system, are you cool with that. I don't know how it works these days but I know back in the day going between versions you would have to refresh your licensing on a large upgrade.

HBO has always had a pretty nice spread. It's not the newest it's not the hottest, But there's usually something on there that I want to watch, coming from the let's just log in and see what there is to watch scenario. I hopped onto Max when they brought all the old cartoons over, I started ripping and stripping for all I was worth because a lot of that stuff was not readily available at the time.

Then they had their big shutdown and they lost a lot of that content and I walked away right then.

You're still good for streaming reruns of decent rewatchable movies though I'd say more so than Netflix.

I've been dual welding browsers since chrome came out. The second they started talking about deprecating manifest 2, I test drove Vivaldi and Brave. Now they're set up as my second.

I tried to convert over to Libwolf, But it absolutely massacres my passkeys.

I plan to main Firefox until they do something stupid which I think is inevitable with their recent statements.

I'm just hoping that by the time The other Firefox shoe drops there will be something else viable on the market. I don't know how long Brave and Vivaldi can hold out with chromium changing underneath them

I strongly suspect that is exactly what they're trying to stop.

Yeah, seems like a reboot every 24 hours you're not unlocked would be extremely useful

I find Google docs to be sufficient for most office, But I don't go too far into the weeds and Excel, It would probably be pretty easy have use cases where Google wouldn't cut it for you.

The free open source office alternatives are serviceable, you could get your work done on them but they're disappointing in some tasks.

The new Outlook app is indistinguishable from their electron app. They both suck but they're equal.

But I provision hardware for my job so I have windows boxes sitting around if I need them.

“If you go into a shop and you pick up a few groceries, usually you would pick any of the cashiers that is around and you go scan your goods,” he said. “When someone is planning a sweethearting theft, they will always go to the same cashier, which is most of the time a relative of theirs, and this is an anomaly in the behavior compared to the other customers. Our system is able to identify this anomaly and alert on that.”

I usually go to one of two cashiers because they are faster and actually know what they are doing. I will always return to them simply to save time.

The system sounds costly. It's merely another version of the "inventory robots" that never gained traction. They’ll end up spending six figures per store on hardware that constantly triggers false alerts until they eventually shut it down. Weren't groceries supposed to be fully NFC by now, allowing you to scan everything at once on your way to the door?

The managers know who's gonna steal. They see them sweet-talking and complaining about fixed income.

How many times can they make use of the same set of data? Aren't we all just leaked 50 times over by now?
