App devs control this.

Can’t read this wall of text
- Comment on How do you "process" hundreds of tabs you haven't gotten a change to go through? 2 weeks ago:
Close them. Hoarding tabs is still hoarding.

- Comment on Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think it will pop. I think it will continue to gobble up components for the next 5 years.
- Comment on Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month 4 weeks ago:
In a few months there won’t be any affordable equipment.
- Comment on Whats the best use for 75 dollars? 4 weeks ago:
75 isn’t a whole lot. If you don’t have a financial management tool yet, you should put it towards that.
Look for something with no fees. I believe Sofi has no fees and might not have a minimum amount. Their app is also really easy to use.
A local credit union is also a good choice since you can physically talk to a person when you have questions.

- Comment on What are You Working on Wednesday 1 month ago:
Windows security baselines. They suck. Not because they are bad, but because they aren’t enforced defaults. Turning them on breaks something and you have to dig through decades of policy and app configuration to figure out why.
I wish once a year MS would have just made a security defaults update month and made a few changes so we could anticipate them and fix them collectively over time.

- Comment on Did the Buldak spicy ramen get less spicy? 2 months ago:
A mix of that and tomato paste, fish oil, garlic, ginger would probably mix things up for you.
- Comment on Did the Buldak spicy ramen get less spicy? 2 months ago:
I’m guessing you could substitute a 2:1 mix of paprika:cayenne.
- Comment on What is the difference between a managed switch and an unmanaged switch? 2 months ago:
Why are they so much more expensive…
Because people will pay that much for those features. You can find managed switches for $60 pretty easily. Until you get into the 48port blades they don’t change a whole lot, so the higher prices are typically from different ways to trick you into paying more.
Some features like line rate, buffers, do add to the cost though.
- Comment on So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up? 2 months ago:
Slap your knees , say “whelp…” then stand up and walk away.

Pay up.
- Comment on What's a 'common sense' thing that you genuinely don't understand, and have been too embarrassed to ask about until now? 2 months ago:
Honestly how did two wires on old phones power the phone, got it to ring, hold a two-way conversation, and also dial out? Only two wires?!?
I took a class at college on it and the mystery was revealed but I’m still convinced it’s magic.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 2 months ago:
I played through fhe whole series thinking the good part was about to happen since there was hype for the game.

Did you take your sunglasses off?
- Comment on Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other? 2 months ago:
I assumed but without the /s it’s hard to tell on the internet.
8====D~~~[PCs]
- Comment on Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other? 2 months ago:
Because PC is better than console.
This is exactly why there’s animosity.
I prefer console because: it just works. Devs don’t need to address bugs related to hardware, and they can tune their games for the performance of the console.
I don’t have a lot of free time so knowing it will work within seconds of hitting the power button is worth it to me.
I used to PC game, and still do for a few that are better with a mouse/keyboard.
I don’t hate on anyone that prefers a different gaming system.

It’s the HAM radio of texting.
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 2 months ago:
I agree, but I was answering OPs question on how it would be done and an example of similar tech already in use at scale.
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 2 months ago:
Many US companies have businesses inside China, it’s bad but it’s not impossible. I wouldn’t be surprised if a state actually doesn’t.
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 2 months ago:
- Regulate all traffic sent or received across the state.
- Send traffic through a firewall.
- decrypt traffic
- drop traffic that can’t be decrypted.
Another easier way:
- Regulate ISPs with new state laws.
- require they block porn.
- Sue ISPs that violate the law.
