I have been banned from Immersed’s discord server since I made a single critical comment of their crypto land sale. No warning, just banned for a single message. They cancelled their crypto land system and to their credit refunded the investors. However they have been taking deposits for this new headset for a year + with a delivery date of “2024” which clearly isn’t happening. I truly believe they are just horribly mismanaged, naive, and unable to deal with criticism. Scam? Not intentionally, but the outcome may look very similar.

Seriously. This thought occurred to me the other day when I plugged my power bank into a car’s charging port to check the wattage and wondered “why the fuck can’t my phone just do this by default?” Do we actually not trust people to understand higher number = faster?

Made me check for my home state of Utah. But looks like they require a “substantial portion” or 1/3 of content on a site to be porn. source Looks like we all need to get busy posting tits to twitter for the good of the children.

Got the text about the increase and it’s definitely nail in the coffin for me. I’ve confirmed that I don’t need much data even with forgetting to reconnect to wifi.

Strangely found myself tempted towards Helium Mobile since it’s 20 bucks for “unlimited” with 30GB of high speed. But of course it’s a crypto product… I’d been planning to wait til they release a feature to supposedly cryptographically protect against SIM swap attacks here. Assuming it checks out for security I’d consider it a decent extra benefit. Thoughts?

edit: forgot to mention they’re a tmobile mvno. so not exactly completely getting away from them.

I had previously done what some recommend here and got some random cheap safety razor off amazon. Was a bit of a learning curve but I loved it. Saw a youtube sponsorship for Henson from a creator I really liked and decided to go for it. Hate to be a shill but no regrets. It’s notably more forgiving than my old safety razor and just super satisfying. to look at and use.

But they will not stop at any trailheads, just the resorts. Additionally it is unnecessarily expensive to build and ride. Also the additional environmental impact of building and maintaining it rather than using existing roads. It’s purely being built for convenience to reduce traffic in/out of the canyon.

I love living car free with my needs in walking/biking distance. However I feel like the car centric problem runs deeper than basic groceries and transit to work. I live near the gorgeous rocky mountains, but our buses only really run to the ski slopes, and only in winter. It’s a true shame to be so close to nature and have my option for access restricted to a rental car. So naturally there’s a plan to build the worlds largest gondola directly to resorts to address traffic. Cause god forbid we just ran more effective bus service year round.

Forget the technical details. I work in a corporate security department and if yours finds out what you’re doing there’s high odds they would absolutely hate it. I mean it likely isn’t an issue for org security (assuming they’re using bitlocker appropriately etc.) But not everyone over security is so rational and there are edge case attacks which may even trouble more sensible individuals. Either get permission, expect to do this in secret, or better yet just don’t.

Bit of a tangent but: How dangerous is ripping and distributing web content these days? Like how prevalent is watermarking or other methods that could identify the account the recording originated from?

Don’t miss standupmaths side of this collab. Caught both on premier but the poking fun at climate town’s video style is hilarious.
