Same here, and I’ve tested it with a blue laser and the lenses block the blue laser almost completely. It’s definitely a benefit to have the blue / UV filter coating on glasses. Another easy test is to walk outside in the bright June sunlight and look around with and without the glasses. The UV filtering reduces eye strain outdoors in the bright sun too, but obviously not as well as sunglasses.

That sounds like some big news. I’ve heard in the past rumors and such that the USA leaders have mostly kept “warm” relations with the Saudis in the effort to keep them using the Petrodollar as their standard.

That’s a crazy secret code requirement there

Weird dicks only! No sexy huge cocks.

The card companies can get data from the Merchant Category Code to infer the nature of purchases, without specifics. The stores also have a record of what items you bought, which could also be sold unless you have a contract with the store that guarantees they won’t sell your purchase history (at least in the countries without strong privacy laws)

Did you not know they’re already selling your purchase data? All the card networks do it.

That’s why you need to use cash to buy anything you don’t want logged to create a data point about you to be sold

It really isn’t, you’re probably just not aware of all the “proper” games that are out there for VR. Browse the Steam store and look at all the VR games sometime.

I have about 40 VR games in my Steam library, for example. I admit I haven’t played them all yet but I’ve played a lot of them and most of them are great. There are tons more that I could buy if I had the time to play all that shit.

So if they are changing routes by using DHCP options, perhaps this could be exploited by telecom insiders when you are using mobile data, because your mobile data IP could be assigned by a DHCP server on the telecom network. If you’re at home on wifi, then you can control your own DHCP server to prevent that.

Sodium Ion batteries are nonflammable. They are safer than most of what we already use.

Yeah none of those kids should have cell phones. They should be about old enough to drive before they get one even.

^^ This is big “irrelevant comment” energy.

None of my local ISPs have data caps on regular home internet plans. Y’all just need better ISPs.

100Mb symmetrical fiber is about $40-50 and Gigabit is about $80/mo from ours

Nah, not buying that after living through 2 decades of the bullshit that 9/11 was used to shove up the ass of America and the rest of the world.

They didn’t stop any of the big terrorist attacks like Jan. 6 which we all could see coming just by looking at social media, nor did they stop the Las Vegas concert massacre, or the many other massacres committed by people who always had numerous red flags ignored by authorities and associates. Nah.

It’s pretty good, hats off to The Onion

I’m all for WFH and EVs personally. Haven’t bought an EV yet but I would like to have a non-spyware-laden one for a reasonable price.

That’s an issue, but it’s not an issue for your job to solve for you, especially not when “solving” it would negatively impact the rest of the coworkers who prefer the benefits of WFH.

The most common advice I’ve seen about stuff like that is to get involved in hobbies that have clubs or groups that meet in your free time. You can try out new things or join a club about stuff you’re already interested in, and you’ll meet people doing stuff that you’re interested in and sometimes they can become your friends.

It’s not bullshit at all. It is a lot better for cars that are being used to not shoot out smoke from combusting refined oil. There will always be cars in use, so it will always be better for them to not shoot out smoke.

It’s not possible for all workers to live inside dense cities and use public transport and work in offices or at home. MANY other jobs are out there and still need doing every day. Everyone who physically maintains all of our critical infrastructure, manufacturing, and food supply industries is pretty much going to commute to work one way or another. Millions of those people don’t live in cities with public transport and/or don’t work where public transport can take them to. EVs are an improvement for all of those necessary use cases, because the vehicles they need could not be shooting out smoke.

It’s somebody else’s server (clouds) and somebody else’s office (yours instead of theirs)

That’s when the kid gets sent to the principal, if they had any functioning sense of discipline in that room.

True, I don’t use reddit on mobile at all anymore, since they killed 3rd party clients. No way in fuck would I install any social media company’s program on my devices. It’s open source apps for social media, or nothing.

Old reddit works fine in Firefox on the desktop. I use that when I’m bored enough to.
