James Hoffmann recommends decreasing the temperature the darker the roast.

• Very light roasts: 95-100°C
• Light roasts: 92-100°C
• Medium roasts: 85-95°C
• Medium-dark roasts: 80-90°C
• Dark roasts: 80-85°C

Obligatory: you can improve your Windows experience by installing Linux.

Non snarky comment: you can disable driver craplets from auto-installing using group policy or the registry.

run gpedit.msc
Computer Configuration
> Administrative Templates
  > System
    > Device Installation

Prevent automatic download of applications associated with device metadata
= Enabled

That will set the following registry key:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Device Metadata]
"PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork"=dword:00000001

Ladapo has always been a quack. DeSantis brought him on when COVID was still raging. DeSantis was interested in virtue signaling to the anti-vax element of his base. Then DeSantis set Ladapo up with a job at UF. The whole process reeked of cronyism.

Not the article I’m looking for but this covers some of it: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/27/joe-ladapo-university-of-florida-00128541

LGBTQ+ expression is the canary in the coalmine. Once they suffocate that they’ll move on to the next thing: women’s rights, racial justice, political expression that isn’t pro-capitalist.

Or a vegetable.

I had one of those groups come though my town this year. Wasn’t Kommen, but a different one. They were stopped in parking lot at a grocery store. I went up to chit-chat with them a little. One of them said they were doing a march to the capitol to raise awareness of child abuse.

Anyway, I got a good look at their vehicles and they had two giant buses with custom wraps. They also had two brand new identical BMW’s with custom wraps. I was just thinking to myself, that’s a lot of money. Money that could have been used to help victims instead of a dozen or so people’s jaunt. I found the whole thing super sus.

It is. Over a decade ago they cut a deal with HBO where they would get priority on new episodes over PBS. That was a bit controversial at the time. Warnerbros cancelled the deal a couple years ago. Then Netflix picked up the show this time without the exclusive delay.

Taboos can be positive, negative, or just reserved. For example in Judaism writing “God” is taboo, and Jews will frequently write “G-d”. Same with YHWH. They will not say the tetragrammaton. Instead many will substitute the word Adonai.

Of course there are diverse groups of people. So for Hillary, depending on someone’s political persuasion could be a positive name, a negative name, or just so synonymous with her it’s reserved.

Hillary. No one names their daughter Hillary and haven’t for a while now.

Grover, Kermit. These were also common names. There was president Grover Cleveland. Teddy Roosevelt named one of his sons Kermit. Sesame Street had such a strong cultural impact that these names also fell out of use.

Your dad needs to step up his frozen pizza game. He needs to remove all the pepperoni before baking then rearrange them so he can slice the pizza without cutting any of them.

Mental illness is a hell of a thing.

Wow this article is kinda shit. MD5 was on the chopping block for password hashing over 20 years ago. It’s so seriously broken that if someone is using it they deserve to get bludgeoned to death with a Model M keyboard. We have purpose built solutions just for password hashing.

The only thing the fine bad article sorta got right was two factor. I say kinda because biometrics (something you are) isn’t that great of a second factor. Mainly because you can’t change it. Also, it’s a fuzzy match rather than a hard match. It can be acceptable to use locally and where all the information stays locally AND there is sufficient hardware based security where said biometrics isn’t going to get off the device.

Finally, there was no mention of any kind of physical token based factor (something you have). Which pairs well with password, passphrase, or any other “something you know” factor.

Or it takes 3 lines to fit all the text:

Hey everybody! Did you
know it's Autism
Awareness Month?

I had heard rumors of this and was a bit skeptical at the time. Apparently there were a bunch of keyboards with missing W keys.

The GAO report goes on for several pages just for the keyboards.

Given the current price of RAM and SSDs, I don’t see how a $200 laptop is even viable to sell. Unless it is barely scraping by on specs or comes loaded with craplets and spyware.

Just doing a quick search, all I’m seeing is stuff in the $350 range with 4 or 8 GB of RAM. I’m not familiar with the genre of games you play, but I don’t think they would run well on that. Or run at all. Haven’t even looked at the gpu or cpu specs.

I would try to find something used and compare specs against the min and recommended hardware requirements for the games you play.

No

I would say hyperglycemia, but we don’t know what period of time Bob ate these candy bars. A day? A month? A year?

Clinton was impeached but not convicted. If he was convicted and removed from office then we would have had a president Al Gore.
