    Browser extensions/plugins can bite you

    After 7'ish years of being "good"... the coders decided to close their long game. https://www.koi.ai/blog/4-million-browsers-infected-inside-shadypanda-7-year-malware-campaign Just one reason I only use an extension if I absolutely have to have it, which so far has been numbering zero.

    The Trump thread

    I guess you aren't familiar with what the term special means in the south. :eek:;) and before folks get upset... my mother was a special ed teacher and I regularly stopped in to talk to the kids in her class when I worked patrol in that city. It wasn't unusual for parents back then to...

    Mac desktops and their long lives

    TimeCapsule is one of the nicest backups that I've run across, especially at the price (free). You can do full restores from it, migrate your data to a new computer automatically (programs and data) without having to pick/choose or you can even go into the TimeCapsule and pick individual files...

    Sounds like he uses a "special" program to do backups. Miraculously Apple provides the ability to do TimeCapsule backups to an external hard drive or media. His failure to do so is ALL on him. Also, remind us.... doesn't the equivalent happen on Windows (blue screen/boot issue)? In fact...

    Honestly... he was to frigging old when he was elected. It's the same "pride" issue that struck Biden. But the question is, would J.D. (Jerkoff Dickhead) Vance be any better?

    Mac desktops and their long lives

    Dayum.... this new Studio stomps the old Mac Mini and is faster than the Dell Optiplex running my processing software. Only issue is should have gotten the larger storage option when I purchased, but with the new dock coming in I'll have 8TB of storage available on NVMe via the ThunderBolt 5...

    The Trump thread

    The impeachment filing was a mistake. There is ZERO chance of it going anywhere and all it does is prove the idiocy of certain politicians of playing Don Quixote. All it does is inflame the radical Trump supporters and gives them ammo to try to get out more voters in the mid-terms.

    Mac desktops and their long lives

    Just added a MacBook Air 13" M4 to the mix. If I decide to do the upgrade of the 1TB storage on the Studio I would have to have a newer Mac system on hand.... and considering that Apple wants $2200 for the 8TB storage upgrade and I can by it now aftermarket for $800... guess which I plan on...

    Mac desktops and their long lives

    I've been using my Mac Mini since mid 2013 and have had to replace a few components on it, one being putting an SSD in it (which breathed new life into it). But it's so old now several browsers won't run on the OS version it is able to have installed. There is a way to hack the Mini to get...

    Doubt AI would be used as it is more a statistical data gathering process and then maps based upon that. No need for AI to do it.

    If referencing my above post... I have been referred to as a computer before. :ROFLMAO:

    The Trump thread

    Gerrymandering is wrong no matter which party does it. With computing ability what it is now, it would be easy enough to code a program to do it based upon population density alone and no politics/voting behavior patterns taken into consideration. If worried about the "nasty dark skinned...

    The Trump thread

    It will percolate up through the justice system until it reaches the Supreme Court most likely. The funny thing is, if it is kept struck down it will be ironic. Texas wanted to do it by a GOP power grab and they have problems. Meanwhile, California put it before the public in a public vote...

    The Trump thread

    Trump's Presidency is on a death spiral. Even some of his MAGA die-hards are now crying out about him. Of course, his response is basically "I'm MAGA and I'm the only one that can say what it is and how it works".

    Have you ever been banned from a forum?

    Only one is the Xenforo support forum for happily voicing my opinion on the trajectory that I was observing the software and certain developers go towards.
