How the fuck did some poo get my credit card info and use it in a grocery store 5km away from me? The card was never physically lost and I'm very privacy-oriented in my internet usage. Recently I've just used the card to do normal things like buy groceries and some small things from the net. Is ProtonVPN leaking, is some poo taking screenshots on my phone or PC?
>>107664920>Technology momentFor sure. A cop just called me back and at one point was like this seems weird because if the card wasn't used physically how could someone use the info in a grocery store. Could be a bug in the bank system too. Idk, nothing's impossible nowadays.
>>107664482Disable everything but chip+pin in the bank's settings. Magnet strips or the numbers on the card are not safe.

What was the right way to enable reBAR/SAM again?

Do cooling systems "age"?My 10 year old laptop's fans are constantly on and it's very loud even at moderate load. Did I just not care in the past or is it possible for cooling to just be worse over time?(yes I recently swapped heatpaste and cleaned the fans)
>>107658046>2nd genThose are rough to use today. 3rd gen is the minimum, 4th is comfortable.And that with linux, if you use windows then get the newest possible with the most memory you can possibly afford.
>>107658046do you have any specific grievance?when you don't have an urgent need, you can often score great used deals by waiting a bit
>>107665390Every moving part is susceptible to mechanical wear. The fan bearing can go bad, the symptom is that it doesn't spin smoothly and freely as it should and it draws more current as a result of that added load (potentially running at a reduced speed if it can't get enough power for that).I've saved desk fan bearings before by just redoing the grease, but once the grease goes bad the ball bearings can start tearing at their tracks and scratching it, so you gotta catch it early to save like that. Maybe worth it for computer fans just for testing purposes, if it starts working as it should after that, then you know the fan is bad. Spray grease would work fine for that test. Then you buy a new fan.Heat pipes, dissipator fins and whatnot can only corrode depending on the environment. Otherwise they don't age.
What can I do with this christmas present? it doesnt fit up my ass
if they make data harvesting devices unaffordable (smartphones, computers etc.) then how will they be able to reap those delicious masses of data like before? seems counterproductive to me
>>107664265not necessarily illegal but borderline impossible to do without with the result being mostly the same. if you still have money for food you will need your phone to pay for it
>>107664105Everyone already has a smart phone. They give you an iPad fresh out the womb now as well. >>107664265>They'll make it illegal to live without a smartphoneType of shit the UK would legislate, lol
>>107664105they'll be replaced with ai pendants
They'll be replaced by AI pedants

>>107658778if only it used snake_case instead of camelCase it would've been perfect
>>107658612My problem with lua's syntax is that the nonuniformity of the various block open and close delimiters makes it harder to write tools to manipulate its code. For instance, I use a hotkey ctrl-[ to insert a `{}` pair around my cursor, but something like that wouldn't work in lua because for functions you don't have an opener but have `end` as a closer; for `if` blocks you use `then ... end`; for loops you use `do ... end`; etcThis is why one reason I prefer lispy syntax. BUT >>107658987 unfortunately isn't a replacement for lua's syntax because the ideologue who made fennel decided that early returns are a bad thing and so you can't easily do early returns in fennel (despite there being no technical reason why not)I get why people like the english word block delimiters. But I find that when you work for a long time (100+ hours; which actually isn't that long given how long big projects take) in a programming language, all of its syntax is abstracted away in your brain, and the syntax doesn't really matter, at least aesthetically (it still affects your ability to quickly identify things, how fast it takes to type things, etc)
>>107662078Isn’t R that language where you can literally change the language grammar on the fly, so that you get a different syntax for each library you load
>>107658714Lisp more elegant, true.Will still use Python tho.
>ahhhh save me market forces I want human drawn wojaks againThere is no end, no going back, all the AI companies could go broke tomorrow and all progress stall and AI will be continued locally.anti-AI twitter and redditor posters need to just give it up, literally nothing can stop any random in the world using AI on their own GPUs at this point
AI is invalidating everything digital in 5 years we will be back to physical media since LLM models can't steal your data from that

>>107662630He looks tired.
I had a simple perl script once and it was slow at the time because computers were slow back then, so anyway I was like "It's slow but I don't want to rewrite it in C because I'm feeling lazy and it already works perfectly but it's slow" so I used the Perl to C translator that Larry Wall himself had made, and my simple fifteen line Perl script, with mind you zero CPAN bullshit pulled in or any libs, just plain vanilla perl with no additives or thickeners became a 150kb C program. So I was like OH YEAH BITCH? And I compiled it with all my optimization flags turned on for my computer which made a big difference at that time especially seeing how everything was so slow in those days. And I ran it and benchmarked it (in SINGLE USER MODE on the console even so there was as little extra shit happening as possible) and... it was just marginally slower than the Perl version and also it would occasionally just *think* for a long time and totally apparently stop processing data and generating output which I watched with tee. I was like "fuck this shit" and never debugged it and found out what it was but that's my experience with translation and I bet most people don't have much better stories to tell.
