The sort of data Leonardo says SignalTrace can sweep up includes the RFID tags in key cards and pet microchips; devices with Bluetooth such as wireless headphones, fitness trackers, and mobile phones; components of a car like tire pressure sensors and infotainment systems; and Wi-Fi sources such as vehicle hotspots and laptops, according to the product sheet.

For those saying, "just leave your phone at home."

You can't really blame a shortage of DRAM without acknowledging that you caused the shortage by pre-ordering two years worth, and allocating it only to data center customers. Louis Rossman has a few good takes on it. One is the, "I'm suing Samsung" video. The recent Gamer's Nexus piece where he's talking with that unboxing YouTuber is pretty spot on too.

That means you remember the thrill of getting the Diamond Multimedia Viper SVGA card (or similar)and being able to "crank up" the resolution beyond 800x600.

Enjoy your day, fellow vintage builder.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Or the key to decrypt the account information, more likely. Right?

Lately, I just get overwhelmed. If my wife is there, she can run interference for me, unless she's in the same boat. I have to live with my shame and accept that I might need to literally escape.

Ahh, the passive voice doing heavy lifting again.

Cool. I know mine stores my SMB credentials for my NAS, and Signal seems to store the key to decrypt the database at rest. When looking in at the values, its usually the bare minimum. I am far from well-read on it though.

Hmm... Never tried, but I assume you record yourself and then start applying filters/effects from the dropdown.

Was going to write these exact words.

I don't know what that is, but you might want to switch to Tenacity. It's a fork of audacity without the data collection. Its diverged some, but does everything you need it to.

It's better now. Could've been a lot of things. The app doesn't seem to be one of those things.

I just meant it was big. I'm glad I moved out the next month.

I hate this timeline. Almost everybody I know is firmly of the, "I don't need privacy; I have nothing to hide!" or, "It's just a little bit of surveillance, and if it can help find murderers, fine," persuasion. All as our freedom is willingly snapped and scraped away.

I lived in an apartment building with a big pipe leading to the septic tank. Cockroaches were always visible crawling in and out of the gaps between the concrete and pipe, living in the literal shithole. They carry so many germs!!!

At night, that's they'd scale the building and come visit us. I woke up one night to my cat staring slightly above my head. I moved a tiny bit, and a big mind momma cockroach jumped off my headboard onto my face, then onto the blankets, where my cat swiftly executed it (with no small level of skill and reflexes). That night left an impression on me.

I hope this explains both fear and being spooked by them.

Edit; some fun typos

Fuck. Nightmare fuel

That is truly horrifying. I've had a yellowjackett wasp crawl in my ear and sting me repeatedly. I'd prefer the yellowjackett.

I have a local music library.

I once uploaded my entire connection of music (ripped from my own CDs or grabbed over the decades) to Google Music, but we know where that went. So I used Amazon Music for a few years, until the service went to shit.

Unwanted tracks in my personal playlists; songs playing out of order; ads despite paying a subscription fee to listen to music I already own.

The frustration with the entire copyright and, "rights holders" scene led me to turn away from buying anything but physical media at local music ships.

I have never used the arr tools, but if I was starting from scratch, I probably would. For now, when I want a few new tracks, I use yt-dlp or fire up jackett and find it.

Eta: frustrations

Every single time I think I know where I stand on fucking sharks...

My state has a solid law prohibiting retention and sharing of LPR data, but I have my doubts about compliance and enforcement.

And yes, everyone is fine giving away the personal info and privacy of everyone else. Infuriates me...
