This is almost certainly the cause.

Most captchas treat connections from a known VPN exit node as a red flag because most of the spammers use them to hide their location and it’s a pretty small minority of the total traffic so not many people will complain about it. It’s also way easier to do that than try and find some heuristic way to identify malicious behavior.

If they also get some extra data from you that they can sell once you disable it, then all the better for the company too.

My Ryzen 3900X idles at around 50C, although that’s a few generations ago now

Probably negatively, but also likey not enough to matter. CPUs these days run pretty cool.

Were a long way from the days of an idle Pentium 4 at 75C

All this is true, but I also want to add that the soundtrack for this movie is also incredible.

There are good reasons to not buy or eat Haagen Dazs, but they’re mostly related to the fact that they’re owned by Nestle.

9 days later, the wright brothers had their first flight.

Its especially bad these days to the point where im not even sure how to find good results anymore, but 5 years ago things were much better (or at least astroturfing was way less common).

The only use reviews have is to make sure that the app youre downloading is most likely the original and not a malicious lookalike.

Artificial content has poisoned the web to the point that adding “reddit” to the end of google searches so that you could get real human content was commonplace.

I miss the days where you had to learn HTML if you wanted to share your opinions online.

The argument is that “we would like to study these works of art in a purely academic setting, and are willing to limit access to academics only, we just need to make sure it’s going to work even if you guys stop supporting it”

The corporations involved seem to read this argument as “we are looking to start a game streaming service, please give us free access to all your games to distribute at our whim”

To be fair, the alcoholic menu us typically like this too. 95% of the menu is beer, wine, or vodka and some kind of syrup.

I dont see a future where Social engineering is not the most effective type of attack. People have always been the most vulnerable part of any system for the last 12000 years.

To be fair, comparing terminal to the registry is not comparing apples to apples. The registry is more like a complicated config file full of barely documented options. Still miserable to work in, but that’s beside the point.

The terminal equivalent to windows is Powershell which id say is much more favorable.

These babies will be in stores while he’s still grappling with the pickle matrix

PC gaming is bigger now than it has ever been. The idea of a console exclusive these days just feels like youre leaving a fortune on the table.

This isnt the 90s anymore, people dont really need to compare libraries anymore when choosing a gaming platform(outside of Nintendo, anyway)

I started Ori specifically because I didnt want to endlessly throw myself at Soul Master and the Watcher Knights again.

I’m about 60% through Ori and the Blind forest. Its curently scratching an itch I have for metroidvania games.

However, I learned that instead of patching the original game or releasing a DLC, they just made a re-release and im not buying the game a second time just for a new area and some improved QoL with fast travel.

I had the same thought. I thought kiwis were smaller than pigeons.

I think most people here will be grinding their own coffee per batch. It’s typically step 1 or 2 when getting into the hobby, the other being buying better coffee.

That being said, if you do have pre-ground coffee try to use it as quickly as possible as it will lose flavor much faster than whole beans. Store it in a dark, air-tight container.

That tin box you have was originally used for loose leaf tea and is widely available if you want more

Honestly, with the unfathomable amount of money he was set the make from that deal, I dont blame him for doing it.

It’s a good message too, if you ignore who said it and why.

Try to stay informed, but also recognize that news is all going to be bad because humans engage with that more.

Learn to recognize when youve had enough bad news and then disengage and find something else to do.
