Reducing the size and weight of a car goes a long way for environmental impact. People seem to think it's just less fuel being burned.

In reality, there is a reduction of almost every consumable. Smaller tyres. Less tyre wear. Less brake dust. Less oil used. Less chemicals when washing. Less wear on the road surface. Less manufacturing emissions. Less disposal when it's done.

The relationship isn't linear either. Doubling the weight of the car results in about 10x the surface wear.

Where I'm from, "dragged" means to be removed against your will.

You know, like "the pitcher got dragged after the first inning".

Setting up fail2ban to block people trying to brute force the admin panel is a good start.

I think you will find that VoLTE is neither wifi nor data. It's a LTE voice connection. A VoWifi will fallback to it.

I've set mine up so that entering my PIN backwards will nuke it. At which point I can ask for my phone back.

Law enforcement have tools to bypass lockscreens and access the data on the device. They use backdoors and exploits, so older phones are more vulnerable. Most exploits only work if the phone has been unlocked at some point since it was booted.

This is why law enforcement keep them powered-on, and in a faraday cage. They are in a state with a better chance of unlock, but have no signal so nobody can remotely find/lock/wipe it.

You mean "Microsoft Terminal Services Client"?

I was tempted by Arc. Intel drivers always "just worked", but they are just slow. Arc didn't address the problem like I'd hoped, and AMD really got their shit together in the last 5 years or so.

AreWeAntiCheatYet does a decent job of cataloguing what has anti-cheat, and what actually works on Linux / Wine.

It would be great to have it shown on the Steam store. I refunded a game recently because my kid bought something with anti-play by accident.

That's hilarious. I haven't been able to enable IPv6 since the August update. The machine just spins to 100% CPU across every core like a forkbomb.

It pissed me off because my home network is built IPv6-first.

If my work pushes 24H2 I'll just have to disable both :/

I'm waiting for the part that it gets used for things that are not lazy, manipulative and dishonest. Until then, I'm sitting it out like Linus.
