He sounds like a tool. And I can’t get over him saying “I worked 7 days a week since Covid”. Bullshit.

I believe this wouldn’t be as simple on iPhone because there is no easy way to do the restore like that on the phone itself.

DFU mode could be used but you’d need to a computer to finalize the restore process and somewhere along the lines will require your Apple ID credentials. Either in iTunes/Finder or when setting up the phone after restore.

Unless the owner has relinquished their account from the phone, then this may be possible using that method.

But having a SIM lock is still an extra layer of protection against these kinds of attacks.

This actually did happen in Seattle, Washington. There are quite a few real life “super heroes” that dress up and patrol their respective cities. This one was named Phoenix Jones and he had the whole comic book hero costume and everything. There was a law that allowed people to fight as long as both people consented called Mutual Combat and that played a big into allowing him to do what he did.

But he did end up being pulled into court and they forced him to de-mask himself and reveal his true identity. He even had an “origin story”, though not as dramatic as something like Bruce Wayne, but still. He’s an interesting character to look into.

Consider my comment as just a brief summarization of this whole thing as an answer to your question.

I think this depends on which region the court is in, but like in the US, if the hero is the defendant or plaintiff, I don’t think any court would allow the hero to remain masked and without showing their identity. Best they could do is only reveal to some parties involved in the court case, but the identity is still exposed. I think the only exception may be if the hero is a witness, and even then, maybe not and would need to identify to some involved in the case. This is because many courts around the world require people to know who their accuser is and lawyers often will try to fight against this since a secret identity cannot be truly verified for the best results in a court determination.

It doesn’t help when a good chunk of their customer base still goes on a regular basis. I often see long lines at drive thrus in my area despite combos costing $10+.

Mainly that it’s a custom ARM processor, not your standard x86 architecture like the Intel processors were that were also available in non-Apple hardware.

macOS runs extremely well on it and I think there’s not much demand for a custom Linux distro because of that. Plus the fact that your favorite distro would have yet another architecture they would have to support by adding this in. Asahi is an exception because the team spent time doing it but I haven’t heard of any others getting Linux distros created for it yet. As time goes on and the prices decrease, we’ll start to see more teams dedicating time to creating Linux distros that support it.

+1 on Mac mini as well. I just checked OfferUp in my area and M1-M5 are insanely expensive ($500+, M1 coming out about 6 years ago) but really good machines especially for their size and decent on power consumption too.

But downside of a M series is either you run macOS or Asahi Linux and nothing else yet.

So go for the Intel Mac Minis which are much cheaper and can run nearly any Linux distro with little to no issues as you would on a Windows PC. I’m seeing $50 range in my area as well. Older are good because RAM can be upgraded on some of them, but not all. Would be wise to do research on whichever seems right.

It’s unethical that these brands get you into buying their tools and force you into their specific brand of battery when you never encounter that in stuff like a GameBoy that can use any brand of AA battery.

There are adapters on Amazon, such as ones I got, that allow my Ryobi tools to use Craftsman batteries.

It’s just one of those weird things productions do because it’s convenient for story telling, especially when it’s for kids and it’s a sitcom. You’re not supposed to take it seriously or think too much about it.

Some idiot probably said they could make the difference by upping the price of PS5’s. Some people would buy knowing a price increase was coming and others would buy the higher price. And then looped in the online subscription and other subscriptions. And then probably peppered in some bullshit statistic about piracy, not telling the whole story that lots of pirate players will never be paying customers, even when you force a PS5 console on them and others do become paying customers because they treat piracy as a demo.

It’s not going to be enough to make up for PC players. They’re hoping it will be.

More of a reason to use Linux. Fuck the tyrants.

Today’s compromise is tomorrow’s loophole.

I think distance may be one of the biggest reasons why.

There’s a Papa John’s that is in my city but too far for their actual drivers to deliver to me, but those delivery apps list it as being a place that I can order from and get to my address. So while Papa John’s won’t let their drivers deliver to me, the delivery apps don’t have the same restriction.

If I can’t make a U-turn completely, I don’t try to make it. I’ll go up until I find a place where I can like a dedicated left turn lane that does have enough space to do a U-turn or I find a driveway/business where I can safely do one, making sure no cops are nearby to ticket me if it illegal.

Or I’ll do the 3 left/rights to perform an alternative to a U-turn if it’s that busy of a city/town which can effectively get what you want in a different way. Takes a little bit extra, but is worth it to avoid a ticket or an accident.

You could sell the RAM sticks on eBay. There are a few similar listings I’ve seen in the past and generally people looking to collect for old hardware or those who will strip them for gold will be interested in buying in a large bulk quantity like what you have there.

I have seen these listings in the past but checking right now to give you a price idea is difficult. Would need more time to check into today’s market to determine approximately how much you’d realistically get if sold on there. The current price of gold and the current price of RAM somewhat dictate the price, so keep that in mind.

I’ve been playing for about 45 minutes so far and it has met my expectations for sure. First game I’ve bought on day 1 in a long time. Reasonable price + original idea + good features + reasonable requirements are such a rarity nowadays except in indie titles. This game plays at 60 fps on medium (good graphics and rarely dipping below 53 fps) on my Steam Deck. It’s fluid and flows great. I am enjoying the gameplay a lot. Feels like a classic shooter on the level of classic Bioshock and Doom with a great art style and atmosphere.

I got excited seeing Embr thinking there was new news or something. Fantastic and fun game to sit back and relax to playing for a bit, especially the co-op. And plays very well on Steam Deck.

I could never make something like this. I would swear to eat one and then the whole plate is gone before I know it.

Those look so damn good.

When I bought my home, the fridge had a big ol burn spot on the side of it from the stove being right next to it lol. That’s probably what people may be referring to. I never use those two burners because of that despite getting a new stove and fridge since moving in just seeing that. Also the refrigerator sides will naturally get hot/warm as they expel heat from normal operations, so putting it next to something that is hot can be somewhat counterproductive for that too. Not going to cause it to overheat, but may not be the best position if you can help it. Kind of like how you wouldn’t want to put a heater positioned near your gaming PC if you want the best possible performance.

Such is what happens to every subscription eventually.

I don’t do subscriptions anymore if I can help it. It’s like a drug dealer luring you in with a sample and then they bump the price as you get more attached to it because they know you don’t have other options and in these cases, they remove those options as their subscription increases.
