I love collecting books and most of the ones I’ve read, I’d never want to get rid of them.

We are already in ww3. It’s just the start of it and in the future, the year we live in will be part of the dates people study when they study ww3.

Oh yeah, what I was trying to say is that my earbuds are so bad on planes, that I want to upgrade to noise canceling headphones.

Thanks! I have a 14 hour flight coming up and I’m considering a pair as my earbuds hardly work over the engine noise.

What brand did you get?

Some people can’t separate the artist from the art.

They say they don’t want to support her, but honestly she has so much money already. If her money was doubled or halved, nothing would change for her.

Whatever your opinion of her is, you had to admit that she created a worldwide lasting phenomenon. EVERYONE knows something about Harry Potter and few people dislike it.

I’m not a fan of there being a show made, but at the same time, the books have so many plot holes that I wouldn’t mind a new edition that rewrites some things to fix them.

Maybe the show will do that.

Yeah! Steamdeck makes it happen. Playing in short bursts and the ability to sleep the console is amazing. I hated having to sit at a desk and dedicate enough time until a save point to play. The anxiety of playing for 5 minutes and then having to quit because something came up made me not want to play at all.

Now, I game so much more than I used to.

I always wondered how any head of state could feel like they were not being spied on if they were using windows.

Can governments really ensure that windows has been secured that well or is there always a possibility that Microsoft is spying for the United States?

Sure, I just don’t think it’s really that much different than what we have now. I guess I’m just indifferent to it and don’t think it’s that big of a change.

I saw some things in the videos, but I guess I don’t really care about design too much. So maybe that’s why I don’t care. I’ll have to ask my wife what she thinks.

I just checked the Apple website and it doesn’t really look any different to me.

I can see there are changes, but I don’t even know if the average user will really notice it.

I’d add 4 into that list. I really hated that game. I never played 5 though. Maybe I should give it a go.

Yeah! This ^ Lasik doesn’t sound worth the risks at all.

I just tried one match of it and one of the differences was not different in either picture.

Even with the free games you don’t always get a picture of video of actual gameplay. Just marketing bs.

Like, I have no idea what this game is about.

I just started Shin Megami Tensi 4 on the 3ds. It’s my first time playing a game in this series and it seems cool. Maybe after I get through that.

This has been in my backlog for 10 years?!?

Well not reliably.

I can’t find it now and I do not think it really applies here. But someone stated that being high IQ could lead to academic problems as the high IQ learner would understand or see things that the professor could not causing the professor to mark it as incorrect.

I guess this is the idiocracy version of it.

Using public WiFi can be dangerous. I still use the hotel wifi when traveling though.

But if I’m doing anything important I’ll turn on my vpn for extra protection because you do not know who is snooping on your data.

A lot of data being transmitted is encrypted but the person in the middle could still see which sites you are accessing, just not the content.

There are some attacks that can downgrade your connection so the stuff is not encrypted, but I don’t think that is very likely to happen due to other safety mechanisms.

In addition to this, even someone collects your encrypted internet traffic, they can’t see what the data is. But once quantum computers are accessible, they can easily break the encryption and look at everything.

I don’t believe quantum resistant encryption is currently being used for https connections.

Another thing that could do is make sites take you to an imposter site. So google.com could take you to a clone of that site and try to get you to log in and reveal your password and email address.
