Ah you figured it out,
Was going to say if you’ve not got any alarms set, an application will be (ab)using the system alarm functionality to do something at a scheduled time
Seems a little odd for signal to use it for scheduled messages, but that’s what’s going on regardless

This is either satire or another case of conservatives being entirely unable to criticise anything without also broadcasting their kinks

If a dead thing would pickle, pretty much everything in the sea would end up pickled alive

I wonder if Steam would remove it from people’s libraries in that instance or just the Storefront

The lib Dems and Tories decided to fuck over our youth back in the early 2010s
Lib Dems campaigned on a promise of free uni and did the exact opposite when awarded the power to do something about it.
I can’t bring myself to ever trust a word they say again. And anyone that says the Tories stopped them, they were the only thing keeping the Tories in power, they were a VoNC away from potentially preventing 15 years of Tory kleptocracy

The latest version of Android allows you to plug your phone into a screen and use it like a desktop
If you mean to use full desktop applications on the go, they aren’t really designed to work on small touch screens. Your best bet for that kind of thing is an ultrabook or netbook style laptop, but that’s not gonna fit in most pockets.
- Comment on BYD launches cheapest UK model in bid to overtake Tesla as biggest electric carmaker 2 weeks ago:
Good, for whatever reason there’s a load of people that cannot comprehend the notion of transport not involving a car
At least now they have a cheaper option to stop burning petrol
- Comment on Cuts to BBC World Service funding would ‘make us less safe’, MPs tell ministers 3 weeks ago:
The world service is one of the most important things the BBC does and is a big part of the reason the UK wields as much soft power as it does.
Frankly they should be ploughing more funding into it

- Comment on Don't know shit in class 3 weeks ago:
No you’re right, most people find it much easier to engage with a teacher who is genuinely enthusiastic about what they’re teaching
Another factor is that one on one learning is beneficial for people who are prone to distraction even without the interaction benefits everyone gets from typical one on one learning (with two people in the same room)

Most people have manual cars in the UK. Automatics are the weirder, more esoteric ones to us.
I think it’s more or less a cultural thing at this point

I’ve kept my Blu-ray burner in service from the past few rebuilds, probably had it about a decade or so
Though I’m not sure I’ve actually ever burned anything with it—used it to back up some old DVDs recently though

I used to use a similar system until I switched to a password manager. Convenience is a big factor, it’s nice to not have to think about logging in. Also coupled with that a secure password is a long password, so not having to type it in is a bonus.
The person says that, since the beginning of the password is unique, its “unhackable”, and that the attacker would need like 3 samples of the password to figure out their system.
I’ve had my data leaked more than 3 times, it’s not an unlikely scenario that someone could get a list of passwords used by someone.
Also once their system is compromised, they have to come up with a new system, then go and change every password. Which if it was me would be hundreds of places. With a password manager there’s no reason not to have completely unique passwords for everything, so if there is a leak, oh well, just change that password.
