My only complaint about BCU is that its portable edition isn’t a single standalone EXE. Makes it a nuisance compared to HiBit Uninstaller.

Lurks on topics like security, privacy, repair & gaming. Sometimes comments, too.

Interestingly, if you have a big AirPods case (like I do) then the iPhone MagSafe will charge it just fine!
The ending has all the feels and the ending song is with it is phenomenal.
I refuse to listen to it via the OST. Full online-enabled playthrough only, for silly little reasons.
Damn the USB-IF naming schemes be wild these days.
Lockdown mode was released as a countermeasure specifically against Pegasus the first time it made the rounds as it disables many ways that are commonly exploited as the initial vector point - mainly attachments, links and previews in texts, as well as certain complex web browsing technologies.
I’ve had Lockdown mode on since it’s been released. I miss having 2FA code autofilled from text messages, and there’s the occasional website that’ll need to be whitelisted as it may display an emoji instead of a custom font… but aside from that, it’s barely an inconvenience.
Your telco is always going to be a weak point in a scenario like this, but better that than your phone because a hostile actor sent you a text message that embedded silent persistent spyware.
The article does it right: test@test.com
and other similar things (e.g: a@a.com
) will throw an error the first time you put in a password and it’ll proceed to create an offline account.
The people that go through the steps like commands and disabling internet are making too much work for themselves.
Hilariously, I find the Pi-hole feature “disable for 5 seconds” often works because it’ll be down for long enough to load the page but not the ads.
Spoiler: it’s a box for a spark plug 😂
AppleCare is not warranty (but is an equivalent), while AppleCare+ is the equivalent of insurance. I’ve edited my post to clarify this a little better.
Since Apple make no distinction between “malicious damage” and “accidental damage”, then everything is called accidental. However, there are times where accidental damage is covered under warranty (or rather, a “service program”) when there’s an issue that’s widespread enough that is attributed to a manufacture or design defect – the warping of the plastic on the bottom of the Late 2009 Macbook comes to mind.
To be fair, accidental damage is never covered under “warranty” (or any other extended service guarantee “warranty equivalents”) from any manufacturer. Given these black rectangles go everywhere with us, it’s still very good to have a device that won’t absolutely crap itself as soon as it gets dropped in water.
I say this as someone who often sees customers bring in water damaged devices, wanting their data off of it.
Frankly though, I wish the term used was “water resistance” and not “waterproof”. That semantic annoys me.
ASUS still ironing out the wrinkles 20 years later…
If my 13 Pro Max is anything to go off, I get to roughly 30-40% after two days of regular use (including light/medium doomscrolling, but no games) for the last two years.
I’ve been able to get up to five days with light use and low battery mode.
I’m glad to see this TestFlight out so soon, it’s starting to feel nice and familiar now.
awk
is pretty damn solid. When I was completely rewriting thegravity.sh
script from Pi-hole about six years back, it was easily the fastest for parsing and uniquely sorting content from files with a couple million lines. It made things much more usable on Raspberry Pi Zero hardware, since changing to another language like Python was out of the question.
