I can’t believe everyone knows such an obscure reference

Train them to point at ultra common smells, then scam the customer saying it means need to eat some ultra expensive supplement, but only today there’s a buy two get one free promotion

Trying to do the devil’s advocate: Zendesk isn’t a mail server and all it’s doing is to organize a million messages sent to a specific address in a neater way. A spam filter is also present because every email client needs it, but spoofed mails should be rejected by the mail server, not the clients.

On the x370 Ryzen motherboard the test always failed at test #5 and it appeared to be shifted bytes (expected FEFEFEFE got 00FEFEFEFE)

On a H series lowest end Intel motherboard it just beeps and won’t even boot in dual channel. Single channel instead boots and pass the test. The Intel motherboard has those shitty RAM slots where there’s only one clip on a single side and the other is fixed (to save 1¢ I guess) so it’s a bit difficult to assure proper contact

i put the new thermal stuff only on the cpu, specifically that new honeywell material. It’s a bit smaller than the cpu, ordered 3x3 cm measuring a core i3 that i had on hand, while the ryzen has a bigger IHS and fits better with a 4x4 cm

i’m thinking maybe i tightened the cooler too much but it’s the OEM one, so it shouldn’t allow overtightening because has the stoppers on the threads… unless the honeywell pad is too thick for that

Wow I didn’t imagine that the connector was so fragile

It would exclusively work for competitive eSports.

Many people play just for fun, don’t want to focus on teamwork

Fuck Zynga, but “Method for presenting advertising in an interactive service” is clearly an invalid patent even if it was applied 20 years ago

It should be possible to patent only real stuff, not broad concepts that can be applied to everything

ah, good to know

Watched that company. They make cheap ad filled copycat games. They can’t be bothered to spend one day on filtering the words from the free dictionary that they used. Same for the support email, they are too busy counting the ad money, there’s nobody reading them

You call the restaurant and explain the reason, they would be super happy to mark as cancelled on Yelp, but still keep booked on their system: Yelp is not giving this service for free, but they charge a lot of money on each single reservation.

And hopefully realize to stop offering the service at all

In our country the national do not call registry is fake.

We are so smart that we gave the management of it to a “non profit” foundation that charges legal call centers millions of euros. It’s 10000x cheaper to ignore the law and call people illegally from abroad. If get caught (very hard as numbers are spoofed, not illegal to spoof a number) pay the slap on the wrist and continue operating illegally

I didn’t see this comment but I’m guessing it’s on the latest “half interesting” video?

I wonder if they just copy some other existing comment, it’s too on point. It’s cross referencing a video published by an architectural channel one year ago about an underwater roundabout.

If it’s using gpt the bot would have written a bit better (although I would be surprised if it would be able to know the content of YouTube videos, but not impossible since they pirated half YouTube for training)

If it’s using some low wage human in Pakistan I think it would be even harder that after coming back home from 12 hours in a click farm they would watch YouTube videos for build knowledge and make more interesting comments

You can uninstall YouTube and set newpipe as default “YouTube” app, all links will be open in that

Do you know that’s trivial to write a marketing email like

“Dear <name placeholder>…”

I get that Google is just a startup with limited resources and can’t afford expensive marketing tools, but this is a basic feature offered in every marketing email software, even free ones.

The reason is that a phishing scammer usually just got a leaked/stolen email list without names, and by stating “dear <name>” they show that it’s not a phishing.

Once you train users that generic emails with “click here to read the message” are legit, then phishers have an easier life.

In this specific case they’re just announcing that a Google service that nobody was using has been killed (as is tradition) and they’re going to delete the data, there’s no reason at all to have a “click here to read”.

The content of this “important notification” is that to remind me that on January 18, 2025, they will delete the data of Google Currents, because they killed it. I even didn’t know what that product was.

They know my name, yet they wrote “Dear Google Workspace Administator” as the most generic phishing attempts.

I have a thinkpad t42 and i use it for playing old games with windows xp.

For reading, writing, retro gaming (i even use epsxe on it) it’s ok. Forget anything else unless you’re a masochist.

and imho it’s too new for windows 98, it has been released a decade after that

if you want to browse internet, you’re forced to use modern hardware with modern operating systems. I don’t think that there’s a single website that still works with ie 5 + win98. Even malware won’t even work anymore.

Company says it’s improving testing processes to avoid a repeat.

For example they are going to test the update once and for more than 5 minutes on real hardware

TBH I hated when I got reddit results on DDG because they’re blocking access from VPN
