I'm surprised more people aren't using uBlock Origin. It's an absolute necessity for browsing the web anymore.

It's not a WiFi model, a custom module was hidden inside the calculator to provide the WiFi connection.

That's a terrible name for a remote desktop application.

Downloading those "Linux ISOs" via torrent will absolutely saturate any residential internet connection if it's well seeded.

Might as well just download the video with yt-dlp then.

The cylindrical lithium cells can go off like a rocket, but the pouch cells in a phone just burn and are very difficult to extinguish.

Apart from the Galaxy Note 7 which had a design flaw in the battery, it's incredibly rare for a phone battery to catch fire without physical damage though.

That's why it's a good idea to take a btrfs snapshot before updating or changing things. Snapshots are almost instant and sure save a lot of work if you break something.

Cameras don't cryptographically sign the images they take. Even if that was added, there are billions of cameras in use that don't support signing the images. Also, any sort of editing, resizing, or reencoding would make that signature invalid. Almost no one is going to post pictures to the web without any sort of editing. Embedding 10+ MB images in a web page is not practical.

Just go to your favorite pirate site and download a DRM free copy. You already paid for a copy that microsoft just took away your ability to play.

It's fine if they are not cloning a real person's voice. I still don't want to hear AI voices used for the main characters of a AAA game until the quality improves to the point that they are indistinguishable from a human though.

You don't even need a hacked camera to edit the metadata, you just need exiftool.
