Anecdotal: I like like my OG UDM. Bought it the year it came out. No issues in almost 7 years.

Unifi is one of those brands where this phrase applies: “when it works, it works really good.”

People will see those comments, buy the hardware, and some of them will have bad experiences. You will hear about those bad experiences way more often than someone who hasn’t had any issues with the same hardware in the same timeframe.

That’s how it is with pretty much every consumer-focused network equipment brand.

“Can we search your house? It will only help you if you have nothing to hide”.

Help me how, to get arrested faster? lmao

“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear” remains at the top of my list of bullshit lines of “reasoning” I’ve ever heard in my entire life.

If that was the case, a warrant would have already been obtained.

Step 1: Back up important files
Step 2: boot from live Linux USB
Step 3: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvmeX && dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/nvmeX Repeat as many times as you wish

There should be a way to disable that. I swear I’ve disabled it before, but I don’t run Windows anymore, so I can’t check it.

I feel for her. The best way to explain this situation to a layperson would be a teacher (the attorney) trying to manage a class of unruly students (ICE) whose parents (Trump) have the administration (Congress) kowtowing to their will.

That works, too!

Seriously. Fines need to eat into their profits at the bare minimum.

Successfully thwarted

Yes, it requires some proactive forethought.

Find your device’s “lockdown” feature (disables fingerprint/face entry) and enable that in any potentially sketchy situation.

I don’t know how to trigger it on iOS, but my Pixel has the “lockdown” mode option on the same window as “shutdown” and “reboot”, which can be accessed at any time by briefly holding the power button.

The fine for this is less than the obscene profits they made, so no.

Andrew, obviously. You don’t know Andrew?

usually they are unoptimized and reliant on craopy anti cheat

Exactly my point.

All AAA games are trash.

Ok, you win that one.

My dad worked at Novell, so we had the internet in our house well before most people had it. I remember my mom telling my dad “this internet thing is just a fad”. We laugh about it now, but I was exposed to it very early on.

Ads and popups and shitware were absolutely present then, too. Maybe not as common as they got in the late 90s, but they were there.

The “L” is very subtle in most American accents and is typically pronounced using the back of the tongue, so it really does sound like “cock” if you’re not paying attention to the conversation.

If you’re in a construction crew and accentuate the “L” sound specifically to avoid the implication of penis, you can pretty much guarantee the rest of the crew will catch on immediately and flood the conversation with dick jokes just to troll you.

Small cars can do way more than people think. If you put the rear seats down to open the trunk area to the passenger compartment, you can fit a lot of 2X4s and other long items. Having a roof rack helps, too.

Even more so if the small car happens to be a wagon. Like a Kia Soul, Honda Fit, or Subaru Impreza. I had a Kia Soul years ago when I was slinging tires, I could load up a set of big 265s and a set of 215s, with room to spare.

I mean, they aren’t wrong. Nazi Germany was inspired by how the US treated marginalized groups.

This post doesn’t scream “you’re doing it wrong”, rather “hey, let’s try this tactic and see if it helps even more people understand what we’re going through right now.”
