A bit pedantic but that is a pipe smoke effect not a cigarette effect. Cigarette smoke tends to go horizontal for a ways before kinda going vertical.

It works well in the image they use to demo it but the image shows a pipe where it actually looks right.

I'm not sure you can say one behaves one way and the other not, surely depends on lots of variables.

As an anecdote, I'm literally sitting with a lit cigarette in my hand right now, and the little smoke that comes from the cigarette itself, goes straight up.

How does it feel to be living my dream rn...

It seems nobody recalls how bad it was back in the day. CDMA phones (Mostly carriers like Alltel, Verizon and sprint.) did not have sim cards until 4g/LTE. Before that to migrate phones you had to get customer support involved.

AT&T and other GSM based carriers had sim cards on their phones and it was so much nicer.

Nobody has been able to convince me that esim is not just going back in time 15+ years. We moved to sim cards for a reason.

I agree, although two counterpoints. One is that carriers would just lock the phones in the US anyway. Second is that eSIM is easier while traveling.

for now.

By a verification service owned by epic games apparently. So not fortnite but its not a super stretch.

It's as much of a stretch as describing using an Azure service as "I have to use Halo" or AWS as "I have to use Rings of Power."

No, Fortnite is/was directly made by Epic Games and is their most well known product/service.

Better analogies would be Azure as "I have to use Windows" or AWS as "I have to use the Amazon store", which sound a lot less ridiculous than your analogies.

The good faith interpretation is that if the fortnite division had any reason to benefit from that passport info, they would be able to get it. That's not a super stretch.

Thats not what he said. What he said was even rapidly moving his eyes around he could not spot the lower resolution part.

If you are going to be pedantic then at least do it right. Because that's also not what he said. He said that no matter how fast he moved his eyes he wasn't able to catch it.

How is that meaningfully different than not being able to tell that it's foveated?

Same with Dave2D https://youtu.be/356rZ8IBCps.

Its showing as $149 for me.

Which still feels outrageous for what is basically a knitted scarf.

There are 2 different sizes.

There's a long and a short one. The long one costs $80 more than the short one. Jesus.

It started about a month ago for me. I am subscribed to emails from an IT as a Gig platform called Field Nation. Thought I might pickup a bit of side work but never did.

Recently it started adding them to my calendar and there is no way to turn off this feature without also turning off useful features such as package out for delivery notifications.

They do not want to have such a list as it makes them a target.

What they do have is a searchable password list not connected to any usernames.

Modern DVR's are not the same as classic ones. As per this article from today shows that people have prerecorded are being pulled from their DVR's.

Exactly. A DVR governed by tech giants rather than just Tivo and the cable companies is going to have compromised functionality because it's the tech industry originating the "innovation" for their own benefit.

As a note hetzner has a lot of auction servers and I believe they lack the setup fee

They have also threatened to cancel my account more than once because I typed "ipfs daemon".

>This happens with Hetzner all the time because they have no VLANs and all customers are on a single LAN and IPFS tries to discover other nodes in the same LAN by default.

Hetzner is also sinkholed by lots of EDR products because they host a ton of malicious garbage. They are a bad actor.

Why is it their job to be the arbiters of what customers are allowed to do on their platform?

To be fair, most hosting platforms have those in T&S, some even explicitly say you can't torrent pirated movies and even monitor your activities.

Same as AWS. I've added quite a few AWS ip ranges to my firewall.
