Anti-malware isn’t useless, but it’s just one line of defense. It’s like saying that putting locks on your doors is useless when you also leave the screened windows open.

Master’s in Fine Arts? I don’t think that’s going to help.

Im making that move right now too.  The non stop outages, hardware discontinued with no warning for almost a year of no stock, and horrible "smart" routines made me setup a home assistant server with a zwave/zigbee USB stick. Holy crap how awesome it is and FAST!!!!

When one of my good friends from high school finally came out to us it was an emotional thing for him and us all. After the tears and hugs and such my other friend said bluntly to break the ice “We always sorta kind of suspected but based on your terrible fashion sense we figured you were just really bad with girls”.…

Definitely a threat to national intelligence, though. *rimshot*

“. If you plan to stick to the SmartThings ecosystem, you can still use the SmartThings app to control any connected devices, but only if you have the new SmartThings-compatible Aeotec Smart Home Hub.”

The guy starts with “once again we are working with this so and so tyre, it is a difficult one”, mentions some technique using newspapers (I would guess soaking them to get a seal?), then comments on the ratchet method - says something on the lines of “this is a closed tyre” (I think he means the inward angle of the…

It was an aggressive and likely rabid bobcat, you do whatever you can. If you want to hammer throw that thing, go for it. 

Holy shit, you’re trying to call out bigotry by being a fucking bigot. The fact that you automatically assumed he’s being called a terrorist because he’s Muslim, and not because he fucking terrorized dozens of people, killing 14 of them, is astounding. Shame on you indeed.

It’s ok, because a while ago I copied and pasted from one of my FB friends who were posting “With this statement, I give notice to Facebook it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. The content of this profile is private and…

This type of comment comes up every time military tech stories happen. There's a big difference between having the tech and using it. Technical superiority is a good thing. Killing innocents is not. Separate issues. 

His opinions are founded in his expertise in virology as pointed out in the post.

If you can’t slap your chicken you can’t have any pudding.

Official position, y’all:

Though that’s balanced out by being in a position to hear one.

Thanks for this.
