  • Good, this bullshit has never made a compelling argument

    In its defence, Google argued that since it was not based in Uganda and had no physical presence in the country, it was not obliged to register with the PDPO, and the rules on cross-border transfers of personal data did not apply to it. However, the regulator rejected this argument, determining that Google is a local data controller since it collects data from users in Uganda and decides how that data is processed.

  • By 10am on Friday, data suggested an extra 66,000 internet users in the UK had begun using the dark web.

    "People should be aware that children and adults who use [certain software] to bypass age checks will not benefit from the wider protections offered by our online safety rules."

    Genius

  • I put that Chrome extension that changes every reference to 'Trump' in articles and headlines to 'someone with tiny hands' on my Trump supporting bosses computer. Annoyed the hell out of him for weeks then I deleted it. He never figured it out.

    Remember to use strong passwords people. It's 2025 bro, who uses their fucking dogs name as a password?

  • Read the study abstract in one of the other comments here, it's based on a single serving of soda. Seems kinda bad, which is interesting because the sugar alcohols are generally benign. They're non nutritive but most don't cause any problems except stomach upset in some people. I find they have an off taste, many people do not though.

    Edit: can brewing yeasts feed on it? Or are you using it to adjust sweetness level? My brewing experience is limited, I have only used wild yeasts and a few of the Safale strains

  • You already don't have a good vibe from him, and life goals sound incompatible. If he made one sexual innuendo and you didn't respond to it, then he continued doing so he doesn't respect your boundaries.

    Hard pass

  • King Maha Vajiralongkorn has cancelled invitations to more than 80 monks who had been due to attend his upcoming 73rd birthday celebrations, citing "inappropriate behaviour that caused mental distress among the Thai people".

    Lol, the guy spends most of his time in Germany at a private hotel with his harem, not his wife.

    And he broke tradition by not becoming a monk after his fathers death because he was too busy fucking women 40 years younger than he is.

  • Does the app lounge allow you to spoof devices?

    I had it installed a long time ago (not on an e/os device) and I don't remember. I do recall having issues with it compared to Aurora but I didn't know if that was because I was using stock Android.

  • The case was reportedly quite damning and ended up going nowhere.

    I haven't seen any sources yet that say that's why she was fired though, it could be. It seems more likely that trump hates her dad and wants to install another loyalist.

    Wired did a piece on this, but there isn't much more information in it than this one

  • The level of technical knowledge needed to repair things has increased, while general technical knowledge has decreased. People aren't reading Popular Mechanics from the 1950's where "build a hovercraft from an old lawnmower" the building one.

    Parts are also a huge problem. Where previously a car alternator, for example, was three discrete parts, alternator-rectifier–voltage regulator, that is now a single assembly. If one of those parts goes bad you need to replace the whole thing, unless you have used parts you can pull from. For some things the assembly is NLA, no longer available.

    As for why it's cheaper that comes down to manufacturers wanting to sell you a new one, not wanting to have to spend money on repair stock sitting somewhere, and possibly not having access to it themselves since very few manufacturers actually produce a complete product on their own.

    For something simple like a Bluetooth speaker, the power supply comes from one company, the Bluetooth module and amplifier from another, the driver, a display board, the housing, someone designs it and puts that all together. If any one of those chains fails you may not be able to source the part to fix something.

    There are usually workarounds to this but unless you are doing it yourself it will be cost prohibitive

    Example: friend rented a house with a new stove, gas top, electric oven. Two months later the oven stopped working, motherboard was NFG (no fucking good), it was also NLA. So the landlord bought a new stove. The old one could have been made to work, but the complete functionally would not have been there. If my friend owned this I would have said 'I can make it work, but you will be missing these features'.
