Why would anyone install this? Just use Microsoft security essentials. It’s free
- Comment on These Linksys routers are likely transmitting cleartext passwords 3 months ago:
What have you checked out or audited specifically?
In the open source projects I started and worked with, nobody really helped. In fact, one of ours was a fork of a commercial open source project. Ironically enough, if they were closed source they would have survived Longer…
DevFS was a core Linux component. And nobody wanted to maintain it, so it got depreciated before a replacement was even available (udev eventually, but it was totally unusable at the time).

The only professional use of ddwrt I’ve seen is Macca’s guest access…
- Comment on These Linksys routers are likely transmitting cleartext passwords 3 months ago:
Nobody serious uses Linksys for anything.
If you are, you need to consider moving to a proper brand
- Comment on These Linksys routers are likely transmitting cleartext passwords 3 months ago:
Unless you’re going to audit the source yourself. Not really.
I think people are surprised in general by how few people actually touch source code
It’s more a reason to not use sh***y consumer wifi
- Comment on Meta removes special restrictions for Trump's account ahead of 2024 elections 3 months ago:
Sure. Give him access.

- Comment on VW will invest up to $5 billion in Rivian as part of new EV joint venture 4 months ago:
I remember when they got rid of the old WRX design. I thought the new ones looked stupid.
But they were right. Now when you look at the old ones they look cringe
Even cars like the Nissan cube and the CJ cruiser honestly my opinions have totally changed
- Comment on Valve owe you 44 quid, according to a £656m lawsuit against the company for allegedly overcharging UK customers 4 months ago:
Brought to you by scummy lawyers who probably spent all of high school dissing gamers
- Comment on Spotify plans to raise prices this year and introduce new plans - GSMArena.com news 6 months ago:
I actually thought it was fairly standard.
But it does repeat music constantly without new songs too .
And Spotify connect is a bit of a suck fest since you need airplay or Sonos to use it on many speakers really (or matrix)
- Comment on Spotify plans to raise prices this year and introduce new plans - GSMArena.com news 6 months ago:
I hate Apple, but after Spotify paid Joe Rogan an absolutely crapton of money for his crappy podcast (which wasn’t worth that much honestly), despite not paying artists well, I swapped.
Most other services have High quality music options or otherwise too.
They don’t deserve your money. They give very little to you people you listen to
- Comment on Kevin Hart Says He Won’t Host the Oscars Again: Awards Shows ‘Aren’t Comedy-Friendly Environments Anymore’ 9 months ago:
I’m not sure why anyone watches the Oscars, or cares about them, unless you’re somehow involved.
So, whether or not he hosts them… Whatever.
Get Will smith to co host with Chris Rock, and thats the only time I might consider it.
- Comment on ‘No no no. Avoid them all’: anti-vaccine conspiracies spread as UK cases of measles increase 11 months ago:
Only if it’s done during class unfortunately.
Here in Australia, two of my nutjob ex friends who work for the government and required to get vaccines didn’t.
Oh, and despite not getting them, they’re telling everyone about all the issues they’re causing in the rest of us (who are honestly perfectly healthy, including myself who took Astrozeneca)
