Keyser Soze did it, so can you.

The viper was a poorly made, uncomfortable, weird car with some stupid and inconvenient design choices. It was also not very reliable, used way too much fuel, and had serious safety issues. I think it's a perfect analogy for windows.

To think an evil African warlord was allowed to get away with it because of some silly laws against public masturbation or indecent exposure or whatever.

They're going to know it's VPN fairly easily because it's fairly obvious what you're doing when all or most of your traffic is encrypted and is directed at one or two addresses. Even more obvious if those one or two addresses happen to belong to known VPN or VPS providers or something.

What does not stand up to scrutiny is a general "immigration is bad" thing. Immigration is great if you allow people who are willing and able to contribute to your country in, and implement some measures to help them integrate into your country so they can make a life for themselves and start being productive members as quickly and efficiently as possible. Then it works, and when it works it can work very well.

But that itself, choosing who can and cannot get in, who can/will be a productive new member of your society is border control. Basically you have to control the entry so that you can give your systems and infrastructure and society the time and opportunity to gradually develop along.

It probably does give an advantage. The reality is, every single country has a finite capacity and a finite amount of resources. Those are managed and procured by the taxes paid by its citizens. In the modern age when travel is easy, fast, and cheap, it does make sense to have some sort of control mechanism to limit how many "non-contributors" may come in to use the country's resources, otherwise you risk getting your systems overburdened because they're being utilized by a lot more people than they are meant to.

This is not an easy problem to solve at all. An idealistic "let's get rid of the borders" will have very real consequences in the real world, and probably won't work very well as long as some countries are significantly and objectively better places to live than others.

This is exactly my experience. I was super confused by the timer on the dryer. Then I called support and they said it was normal for where I live and where the machine sits in the house. Air too humid and spot less than ideal for moisture to be taken away from the machine in a timely fashion.

You should. There's a lot of good stuff in there, including some genuinely fantastic animation work, especially in the later seasons.

Imo its biggest success is developing Anakin's character to something above a petulant child. It also shows how much work palpy put into wololoing Anakin. With the show's stories inserted between movies 2 and 3 as extended context, his decision to turn against the order becomes the logical conclusion of a long series of serious disagreements and extensive grooming, rather than one or two childish tantrums fueled by a little talk with a sly old man.

They wouldn't block the protocol, just the most common commercial providers. That's very easily doable.

Everything good comes in threes. 2 emojis would have been too few, and 4 emojis would have been exhausting.

You're not gonna be lining a flexible handheld device with the kind of solar panels that can achieve such efficiencies even under ideal conditions. If you want an actual parasol rather than an unwieldy, rigid, parasol shaped bed for a bunch of solar panels, this is a job for the more alternative solar cell types that are cheaper and less efficient, but can be made thinner and lighter, and can be stuck on something like that. Unfortunately those generally have piss poor efficiency and they degrade to near uselessness very quickly.

Does this mess with DRM stuff? Or do they keep working because it's the same hardware?

 

Hello,

I've just recently unpacked my new Dell P3421W monitor. I was like 80% sure there would be no Linux support for the proprietary piece of software that manages the monitor's features, because that sorta stuff is hardly ever built for Linux for some fucked up reason, but I figured I could use my macbook (for which there actually is support) or the monitor's own nipple menu to do stuff. Turns out the macbook version does not work properly on Apple silicon, and the nipple menu doesn't have all the things.

I know it's a long shot, since google hasn't helped much, but would anyone here know if there's a way to go about it? Maybe there are existing tools?
