Too unique for a name database. Just change your last name to Nguyen or Chan. Throw off the scent.

You should probably just assume that your genetic information is already or will be out there at some point. If you want to protect against how it could be used against you, my suggestion would be to change your last name from a genetically-based one to one chosen by you. It isn’t foolproof since the name change is public record, but it creates a firewall that makes it harder.

BaconBits was a Reddit tracker with a maximum user count around 6000. They eventually closed because most of the users could get the same content from other trackers, with better choices about bitrate or codec, or better seeding. I’m not convinced Lemmy has enough users to support a private tracker, I think you need like 20k active users to be worthwhile.

But you can’t control what your family does.

Californians do love gas stoves, and also seem lax about proper ventilation. I even have a friend with gas (no hood vent) who’s child has asthma🤦🏻‍♂️. I’m not a big fan of Newsom, but I think he’s kinda right about this. Labeling on new gas stoves has almost no impact. They should require the gas company to send state-published information about indoor air quality with gas stoves. They could require hood vents to have CO sensors that turn on automatically. Almost anything would be more effective than another warning label on new products.

She can get sponsorships. Also keep in mind this isn’t a men/women’s record. She’s the fastest human to do this, ever. She beat previous record of a Belgian man by less than a day.

Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony. I wish they defined this as any non-transferable software license. If you can’t re-sell it, you don’t own it.

Where but not necessarily when it’s needed. Still it’s good to connect to grid through a wall plug, without expensive or permanent equipment.

I was alarmed most by part B:

(B)The seller provides to the consumer before executing each transaction a clear and conspicuous statement that does both of the following:

(i)States in plain language that buying or purchasing the digital good is a license.

(ii)Includes a hyperlink, QR code, or similar method to access the terms and conditions that provide full details on the license.

The way I’m reading that it’s just going to say something like: “Attention, you access to this game which can be revoked or abandoned at any time. For more information follow this link and read the license. Press here to continue your purchase.” Nobody will read it.

Not exactly accurate. The button can still say Buy. The law says that they have to get extra acknowledgment from the buyer that they actually mean license. So it will say buy, and then it will pop up and say you aren’t buying the game, only a license, and then you have to click ok I understand. More nags. What we really need is another license agreement to pop up that nobody reads.

That will be fantastic. I have been enjoying Delta, and DS translates surprisingly well to iOS. Having the bottom half of the screen touch sensitive means you never have to reach too far. And the screens on the DS were not too different in size from stacking them on the phone screen. It would be really great to get Mario Kart and Tetris going online.

So glad my TV is rooted. Even better is that I just found somebody ported Apple TV Aerial screen savers over. So, while some LG TVs get worse, others keep getting better!

70% of those almonds are exported. But you should take a pathetic dribble of a shower.

For those who don’t know, the flow restriction plug can be removed from most shower heads. But you didn’t hear it from me.

 

When I go to iknowwhatyoudownload.com, a bunch of stuff shows up for my IP that’s definitely not being downloaded by anyone in my house (foreign language torrents). Aside from that my router (AT&T Arris BGW210) needs to be restarted about once a week, due to some kind of dhcp issue. The most recent event seemed bad - none of my devices had internet, they could all talk to each other, and my ONT activity light was flickering steadily. During this time I had no access to the router, even plugged in directly to LAN. Fixed by a restart but no idea what was going on.

The DHT torrent thing has been happening for months and the router thing could just be that AT&T sucks. I have no other evidence that something is wrong.

I could buy a firewall and put it downstream of the AT&T equipment.

I could switch internet providers, get a new IP address and router, and see if that fixes it.

Should I try to figure out what’s going on or just keep restarting the router once a week and ignore the DHT hits from my static IP?

 

A really expensive internet connected globe. Like most globes it would have its axis on a tilt. Except this one would also show a live view of day/night, and also the clouds from satellite imagery. When you touch the base you can scrub back and forward though the past 24 hours of images.
