Can you delete Xbox games installed by another administrator? I ran into that problem a few years ago because I reinstalled W10 and had it keep “personal files” which apparently included my Xbox games. I couldn’t touch them at all, but I had W10 Home. I wonder if my problem could’ve been mitigated more easily than a full wipe of the drive? 🤔

If you read the article, they’re heavily reading into what was actually said by the correspondent. They said nothing is off the table but conventional bunker busters should be enough to destroy the nuclear facility in Iran.

The few times I’ve heard anyone discuss auto stop/start in Oklahoma, it was to complain about it or comment that they’ve disabled it. Meanwhile in my work vehicle, the stop/start has saved hundreds of hours of idling over the car’s lifetime, and it’s only about halfway to being retired.

Toasting is probably a library to add toast text (that little popup message) to a mobile app

It’s almost never actually a good business decision in the long-term to lose an employee, unless that employee is actually causing losses. All the layoffs of the past 50ish years from corporate downsizing is thanks to the business philosophy of Jack Welch. When you stop paying a large group of people, it looks good in the next quarterly meeting because you can point at the money you’re saving. The bad part is that now the business A) has lost that productivity, and B) will likely need to spend more money hiring a replacement worker who won’t be as competent.

Living in the US, the last time I tried to buy “Brioche” bread (Sara Lee was the brand), it was just like eating a sandwich made with a dense shortbread.

It’s been pretty nice. I started slacking on my charging schedule a few months after I got it, so it’s degraded a little bit, but I can still make it through an 8-hour shift with Spotify going through my headset. The only thing motivating me to get something else is the locked down bootloader. I’d like to install something de-google-ified, but it’s straight up impossible on the US version of the S22.

Outsourcing is extracting wealth from another nation. How can you possibly compare that to lifting ones own citizens out of poverty?

Tbf, my Galaxy S22 did this a couple months ago with a system update. All my battery optimization exceptions were reset, so my alarm clock app wasn’t allowed to run in the background. Took me a week to figure out why my alarm wasn’t going off, because they also changed the location of those settings to an even more obscure menu in app permissions.

Someone remind me, what’s the first chapter in On Tyranny?

This is true. Apple’s excuse for it is that it’s used for FindMy and locking down a stolen device. So the Bluetooth and GPS and/or cellular radio still function with the device “off”.

This is honestly exactly what programming is: breaking down big problems into step by step simple problems. If you’ve never considered taking up programming before, I’d suggest you try it sometime and see where it takes you. It’s not hard to learn, it just takes time.

Damn Gen Z kids can’t even write a full page manifesto anymore smdh

I was disappointed in the graphics, but my stats seemed right. The slide for my top podcasts had black text on a black background, but luckily all my top 5 podcasts have their name on their logo. Still looks kinda stupid though.

You’re not really expected to repeatedly remove the HDMI port itself from the laptop

All the people saying buy a dongle are forgetting to mention that dongles stop working all the fucking time. It’s yet another potential point of failure that stops ALL work dead in its tracks if it happens.

As usual, the real villain was capitalism all along!

The Constitution can be changed; it has been 27 times already, so I don’t see why everyone seems to think it’s set in stone.

Not arguing, just curious: what makes chroot insecure? I’ve used it for installing Gentoo, but I don’t really understand what it’s doing under the hood.

Yeah, I just installed Debian in Termux last night. I’ve got a Samsung phone with a locked down bootloader, so it’s the best I can do.
