If he was trying to say that, he would've said that. "I think the reason why our game succeeded in portraying a gay relationship in medieval times, when it was definitely not as widely accepted as it is today, was because we took that fact into account and developed the story around it, so it made sense while still representing a group that existed throughout all history." != "We still pander to the gays for free sales but not like those woke guys."

Depends on where you are from and where you are going. I'm struggling to find the page now, but Istanbul international airport only allows carrying 1 phone tax-free, for example.

In certain scenarios I wouldn't even be able to take my other phone or a tablet with me, because a lot of airports/customs consider only 1 phone as "essential" and not subject to any regulations.

Thanks, the article was entirely useless, just glazing the proposal.

While this is a better turd than k-ID and the likes, it's still a turd. What is this supposed to achieve? Doesn't stop kids from accessing anything, but hinders VPN usability (tunneling into ID requiring locations is going to be useless, as you can't verify) and lays out the foundation for labeling anything as "adult" content, which we all know never stops at actual adult content.

The tool could soon help users prove their age online without sharing personal data

Once released, users will be able to download the app from an app store and set it up using proof of identity, such as a passport or national ID card.

Officials say the app will be "completely anonymous" and built on open-source technology, meaning it could also be adopted outside the EU.

The fuck am I reading?

Even if RAM they use in data centers was compatible with consumer hardware, the companies would sooner burn it all and eat the loss than let us have it. They are sitting pretty right now - they have 0 reason to ever go back to the reasonable prices.

"I enrolled my laptop into Windows 11 Insiders Program that delivers updates on a more frequent basis, turned it off for half a year and then got mad that I missed a bunch of updates, so I decided to sit there and mash the update button to constantly ping for updates instead of doing literally anything else while it's updating, because I wanted to run tests and had to be fully up-to-date."

Microslop got a lot of issues, but this is fucking ridiculous, the author sounds insufferable.

"But who in the temple is going to sit there for 10 minutes or more while this downloads new updates and reboots?"

Oh, idk, people who don't enroll themselves into a faster paced update cycle.

"And may the gods help you if you buy a brand new PC that's been sitting on a shelf for months or years. You might have hours of updates after you first take it out of the box."

I don't know a single piece of electronic that doesn't require updating after purchasing. Hours, though? Is this guy on a 10kbps connection or where is this fantasy coming from?

Do you have a family member or a close friend who is tech savvy and is also using BW? If yes - you could set up an emergency access, so that they can initiate an account takeover should you somehow entirely lose access to everything and need it recovered. The original intent is to take control of an account of a deceased person.

If that's not an option - just save your master PW somewhere offline. Another person suggested paper, but honestly evaluate your own threat levels and consider having an offline backup of it on a device that never connects to the internet (e.g. a flash drive that you only connect with the internet turned off). You can also make an offline export of your vault onto that USB in case you get locked out and need at least your data recovered. Generally don't overthink your master PW, a 10 word passphrase with a number is good enough, if it's not a grammatical sentence - even better, it can even be not in English. There are also ways you can "salt" your PW in addition, say, your PW is hello-friend-joke-inventing5, you can save it as housing2-hello-friend-joke-inventing500 and just remember to remove the extras. If you are not specifically targeted and don't click on fishing links, then honestly even if you save your master PW in your own BW vault nothing will happen, even less so if it's salted.

The only way to truly mess up your vault is to change keys without logging out your devices, but BW explicitly warns you at each step of that process, so it's up to you not to ignore the warnings.

I installed Cachy on a GTX980 PC, but had to use nomodeset, so if you wanna install some distros that are using incompatible drivers in the live ISO give nomodeset a try. After the install you can install the correct drivers (Cachy does it automatically).
