Yes, a VPN would totally protect you from all of that stuff. They can see that you have some kind of data leaving your network, but it would terminate at the VPN company’s connection and disappear from there, no content available to them.

The reason the video isn’t playing is because they’ve taken steps to make sure it won’t if you’re using any kind of ad blocker. If you turn off your ad blocker, the video runs just fine.
Honestly, I don’t mind ads, but on these Gawker Media sites, the ads have gotten so overwhelming they make the site virtually…

OrigamiSensei is correct here, and I’m surprised it went so far down as this before it was pointed out. We own a Sienna and for years my wife thought it had a V8 because she equated that with performance and power, not knowing better about that specific sort of thing. When I told her it was a V6, she was VERY…

Not to be picky, but you did sign on to author a tech article about a gaming laptop: the GTX 1660 Ti is not the next step up from the 1650; it’s overall performance bump is around 70%. The next step up from the GTX 1650 is the GTX 1650 Super, which offers around 40-50% increase in performance. Also, the GTX 1660 Ti…

Ya, that small form factor is sexy AF but that cost is just unrealistic. They’re not going to sell any of these. There are PLENTY of mini-ITX cases/motherboard combos out there at a literal fraction of the price that are even cooler looking. The other terrible thing about this NUC in particular is that heat management…

The title of this article, WTF is that even supposed to mean? Seriously, I don’t understand it at all.

What, no “Until The End Of The World” love here? What’s wrong with you people?

I’m guessing that that the “writer” has no idea that the collective rents typically go a long way towards paying for maintenance of the property, property employees, taxes, the initial capital outlay to purchase the property, etc. Yes, after all those bills are paid the owners get to keep the remainder as their profit.

I enjoyed the writing quite a bit. I think a lot of people that put themselves out into the world can certainly understand where you’ve been, and where you’re going. But I can’t be the only one who read this:

“A few months into that new job his father died suddenly and unexpectedly, while on vacation with my husband in…

So much truth.

Ya, that sounds pretty dumb. You presume to be a motorcycle reviewer, but literally can’t/won’t generate any experience that speaks to a sizable portion of the audience. You seem like kind of an asshole to be honest.

The Motherboard article fails to mention the other, actual elephant in the room: the cost of the parts provided by Apple. They’re through the roof. Apple wants us to buy (I’m in a company that is investigating joining this IRP program) parts from them at costs that are simply not economical in any way. Example: an…

I’m extremely interested in this. If possibly, can you please note what type of local connection you’re using which would include more technical details. Writing that you had difficulty on your Macbook vs. using the Shield makes me wonder if both are using WiFi, if so what kind (i.e. which WiFi protocol, frequency,…

Same here. I see this stuff, and my first reaction is “what’s the end game here, exactly? how are you personally benefiting from this? Because I don’t see any advantage to poisoning our waters outside of some olde-timey polluter shit”

I sure as fuck hope so. Like, exactly that. Every single thing those people touched should be cleansed and reversed as quickly as possible. And then all his enablers jailed as quickly as possible.

Amen.

No offense meant here Garrett, but you guys really need to get some kind of editing or proof reading or something going on. Your writing is entertaining, but it just kind of pulls me out of enjoying it when there are so many annoying typos and other stuff. Just this paragraph alone:

“The second, third, and forth truths…

Not to sound like a sourpuss here, but I strongly disagree. We humans have proven time and again that we are absolute trash at determining effective compensating controls or what even qualifies as a lower risk system. Just look at every nuke plant disaster ever, and those are in scenarios where they were planning for…

Yes they did. I work at a PC shop, and we upgrade and activate Windows 7to Windows 10 machines literally every day. If you disagree with this, cop me a link showing where I’m wrong.

Yup. Seems much easier to boot.
