So you can proudly watch porn in public and make not just people behind you uncomfortable, but also people in front of you!

So the rod can be elongated

Less and less vpn and vps companies provide services for mainland citizen. The main reason I heard of is when their server got blocked by the great firewall, those customers would immediately perform chargeback to get their money back even though it's not the fault of the providers. You lose money on chargeback fees which means accepting mainland customers is very risky for them.

There are cases of malicious/incompetent CAs issuing certificates to parties who don't own the domains. DigiNotar was the most famous one, and recently there was a Chinese CA (I forgot the name) booted from the list as well. Once they're detected (browsers report SSL certs they see back to mothership for audit) they would be removed from trusted lists though, so chance that they're only used for high value targets and can't be used that often.

Lucky you to be able to trust your ISP. Mine injects ads whenever they can, even hijack DNS and redirect invalid/blocked domains to a page full of ads.

It's always been vulnerable, but dismissed because common criminals didn't have access to required tools and the technical know-how to defeat common keyless entries. But things has changed and many entities start selling tools on the cheap to defeat keyless system such as flipper zero flashed with honda rf capture, etc.

Vaccines are like IT departments. When it works and everything is fine, "they do nothing and cost a lot to run", but when they're let go, things might still works for a while until it doesn't anymore and now everything is on fire.

Not vaccinating your kids works only if other kids are vaccinated. The moment a large number of kids not vaccinated anymore, that's when hell break loose.

Some new devices have 3.5mm jack, but no sd card support. Some have sd card support, but no 3.5mm jack. Fewer and fewer new devices have both these days.

I was blocked from sign up too due to the phone number verifier didn't support my country, but when I tried again several days ago, they doesn't seem to require phone number anymore.

It's ironic that game about communism being destroyed by capitalism, get destroyed by capitalism itself.

How come some people can do multiple cosmetics surgeries like nothing? Meanwhile, I had to drag my ass out for those simple covid shots.

But Nintendo switch lite is the cheaper device here?

Imagine a racist vending machine. The face recognition system think this customer is black with 81% confidence. Let's increase the price of grape soda! Oh look, a 32 year old white woman (79% confidence). Better raise the price of diet coke!

How come nintendo switch (with replaceable controllers), has major stick drift issues, causing owners to buy several controllers over the life of the console, while nintendo switch lite (without replaceable controllers) seems to have more reliable sticks? Does nintendo manufactures the replaceable sticks with just enough tolerance to last barely outside the warranty period so their customers would buy more?

The company will fix the issue by renaming "FacialRecognitionApp.exe" to "TotallyNotFacialRecognitionApp.exe"

But back then Reddit still believed in opening up their platform, and their relation with their users was not adversarial. Their source code was even available on GitHub with an open source license! It didn't feel much different to us sending monthly donations to instance admins and Lemmy devs now on Lemmy. People genuinely didn't want Reddit to shut down back then.

It's pretty bad for nvidia users. Want new features? Use wayland and deal with numerous annoying bugs. Don't want to deal with those annoying bugs? Stay on x11 but miss all those new cool features.
