No, of course not the MAC. Just as an example nmap can guess the OS based on fingerprinted behaviours. There are pentesttools that can guess the OS.

Like i said. Old days. You could get access to a distribution switch where the physical security was all that mattered. The town where i grew up had some early variation of cg-nat that meant all devices where in a way on the same network. It created plenty of issues when trying to play online with friends during Quake/WC3 etc.

I mean, i get the sentiment, but wouldn’t the equivalent situation for cars be when they also leave the car? Like when dumbfuck in pickup parks in 3 lanes or similar?

Your ip is the identity of your router.

By using simple tools you can find the manufacturer of your router and potentially use a known security to gain access to your network.

You expose yourself to being targeted by focused network attacks, since they know the address belongs to you.

In ye olden days, it would have been possible to track your ip and what it was accessing online. Its harder to do today due to cryptography and vpn’s, but still a risk.

TIL. But it’s hardly necesessary to have a PHD in psychiatry to understand the funny part in this.

Good luck finding anything that will capture interlaced to digital.

That seems healthy.

You are literally changing analogue to digital. There will be alteration. Period, no discussion.

You have some choice in the way you alter it, but eventually its the same chip in every device that deals with the ADC.

Uhm… Sure. Lets just gloss over the 400 types of personality disorder i guess. But the headline specifically states “one day without eating”

The cooking part is just the funny bit

The fact that you think you need the option at all is enough.

Why would you WANT interlaced video?

Honestly. Many things were so much better before.

If you didn’t like it on the internet, you could just not use it. Nowadays everyone with a pulse is forced to be on the internet, even if they shouldn’t.

People used to understand that things existing digitally, meant that they would spread on the internet. Including and especially incriminating stuff. Trolling people who where clueless used to be fun too. The iOS7 update campaign where people were stupid enough to microwave their phones to charge them was incredibly funny.

There wasn’t karmawhoring or attention seeking, in fact you would be chastised for acting like you wanted attention.

Does it help your mental health to spam posts on various instances and communities every day? I was scrolling “all” and it appears that you spend a lot of time here.

Are you ok? There might be more productive outlets.

Sometimes i really wish i had the time to get into a fenderbender, just so that the asshole behind gets their comeuppance.

Not an actual encouragement for break checking idiots, please be safe.

Different word, different meaning.

Read a bit of the Kemp wiki and found this unrelated gem:

“Georgia was one of 14 states that used electronic voting machines that produced no paper record, which election integrity experts say left elections vulnerable to tampering and technical problems”

Well. I see no problems that could arise from that 😑

I mean, technically still not any gerrymandering in the presidential elections. Just making sure we understand what the word means. Otherwise we can extend the meaning to say something like: poverty leads to zoning of the empoverished which leads to gerrymandering. That doesn’t mean that poverty = gerrymandering

Do explain how gerrymandering affects the presidential election. All votes are counted for the entire state.

I get that it affects local elections. That is obvious.

Could say the same about you. Stop wasting time for other people. Have some decency.

Do you not have yellow lights that tell that they are about to change?

Get off the phone you fucking imbecil. Stop making people’s days any worse than they need to be.

Not Polish, its just a Polish saying.

I’m not convinced that a kid can make that judgement. Certainly not before puberty. But that might just be my own unwavering feeling of comfort in my own sex talking.

If a doctor makes a judgement of it, then my opinion doesn’t matter.

My stance is as they say in Poland.

Not my monkeys, not my circus. I just dont care.

It doesn’t affect me in the slightest, other than a minimal amount of the taxes i pay go towards treatment of their illness. Although, i find it slightly hypocritical that they are allowed to start changing gender before 18. Would seem that many other things should be allowed before 18 aswell in that case.
