Won’t help now but only deal with contractors that have a contractor license. That license number means they paid insurance into a fund so if they take the money and run, you can recover your money from the state insurance fund even if they personally don’t have any money.

It took like 3 years for the process to work through but I got back all my money from a contractor that took a payment and disappeared.

I have close to 100. They’re like books on a shelf. If I read a good book I put it on the shelf even though I’m not likely to ever read it again.

Could you post different photos? I don’t know what I’m looking at? I see a phone/tablet with some sketches.

Why does the browser need to open?

Serious answer:

I believe many office environments have customer service reps using only web apps. They don’t run an .exe, they go to a webpage that has the corporate web apps.

Personally I had to spend a lot time getting my raspberry PI to autoload Firefox at boot because I have a custom html home automation panel. A distro that had the option of “boot to web page” at start up would have saved me an hour of googling.

Artemis is an ai fake. You can tell by the pixels that Maisy Williams wasn’t watching the launch like that.

The 1969 moon landing was real because we didn’t have the technology to fake it.

Probably insider corruption. Like the corporate sales agent or podcast employee is somehow related through friendship or blood to someone at openai.

Price? I got an Epson 3 LCD 6 months ago that I like. My previous color wheel projector was never great. I could always see rainbows on fast moving objects.

I noped out of arch during setup. It expected me to partition the drive for swap/os/usr. It’s not 1996, I’m not doing that today.

It would have blown Orwell’s mind that people would excitedly pay for spying devices and carefully place them in every room for maximum effectiveness.

if there was not as much scare of nuclear power.

I was pro nuclear until solar became cheaper than nuclear but I think if there was less scare about nuclear, there would have been more Chernobyls. That happened because of thinking it’s completely safe.

Who screwed in vga carefully every time? Without the screws vga was worse.

You can get HDMI with a lock tab . I hate that too. Nothing worse than trying to reach behind a wall mount to squeeze the lock tab.

In response to German purity laws, IBM has added an optional field to their citizen database. It just defines a field “Is Jewish” so it’s standardized, but entirely optional. IBM does nothing with the data.

What a nothing burger.

That was what someone claimed but it isn’t true. Filenames are not accessible in an encrypted zip.

They not only look at your files but will decrypt any encrypted zip files to see what you have.

Yeah. Everyone was moving to CD-R.

The security is monitoring your public records. Could you link to any of their services that aren’t about public records like titles, credit cards, credit ratings? Because that’s all I saw on their website.

There’s another company named aura that appears to be completely unrelated that provides security services in Malaysia- like physical guards for your business.

I get the idea of mocking security companies that get hacked. But this is a bad example. All their data was already public.

It would be like being mad at Lemmy because your username jjlinux and all your posts got “hacked” and posted to the Internet.

A mouthful of salmonella.

I was soo excited about ls120. Zip drive capacity in a 1.44 MB disc format with backwards compatibility. How could it not become the next big thing?

I self host everything except email but how do you keep your credit report private? How do you keep your email completely private given it’s use is to send to other people?

I didn’t know what Aura was until writing this. They are a company that notifies you if credit card was stolen or other identity theft has happened. That’s already public. Your email is already public.

Yes, The OP claimed that horses for transport is what saved them from extinction. But everything he said was wrong. Horses outcompeted the native fauna of Central Asia to become established before domestication AND didn’t occupy the same habitat as cows.
