📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/

Recall for #Linux
(Was unable to test on my #macOS)
From the developers:
Are you forced to work with Linux?
Do you miss the convenience of #Microsoft spying on you and keeping track of everything?

Fear not! This amazing tool will bring back all those great Windows Recall features that you have been missing:

🌲 Stores all you sensitive data in an convenient, easily accessible database
⏲️ 24/7 screencaptures of everything you do
🥳 Image to text conversion with OCR
😇 Index and store everything your friends tell you over chat apps or e-mail; if it's on your screen we've got you covered!
Did a friend once share confident information with you, but has since forgotten all about the shamefull details? No worries, you got that info!

Forgot about that website you visited 3 weeks ago, late in the evening while drunk? Yup, we stored that!

Remember life before we all had digital mapping systems in our cars and phones?

Thomas Guide and small maps from #AAA. I kept 3 in my car: Inland Empire, Los Angeles County, and Orange County. When I was headed to San Diego, I’d make a mental note to borrow someone’s or stop at AAA for a map of the grid I needed.

I also had a laminated map of the entire freeway system in Southern California. It would fold up into a (maybe) small 3x5 card. It was one of the free maps AAA would provide if you knew to ask for it.

Have you noticed that when the blame #DNS meme starts flying the root is perfectly operational, there is rarely a mention of the big registry operators, BIND, Unbound, Knot, and PowerDNS are absent the conversation, and many who can craft a reasonable dig query are getting responses from local and public resolvers to debug?

Even with all the misconfiguration, added complexity on top of it, and burden of being used by practically every service on the Internet, we should marvel at how amazingly good the vast majority of the DNS performs despite our best efforts to overwhelm it with all the Internet junk we've created.

TiVo was always kind of a stupidly run company. I remember getting a dual-tuner dual-cablecard box back in 2007 and it came with a stupidly small 120GB hard drive. If you paid them an enormous amount of more money you’d get a tiny bit of more space. I bought a 1TB disk and voided warranty installing it. Went from “120 hours” of storage to practically never deleting a show once recorded.

Looking at my cheap “neck & back massager” warnings (first bullet point). Is “invalids” a term used nowadays? 🤔

 The image shows the instruction pamphlet or product guide for the AMZPONY Neck & Back Massager. The top section has the product name and description in black text: “Ease tense muscles, Relieve pain, and Soothe soreness. Your perfect remedy for relaxation and fatigue relief.” Below the text is an image of the massager, which is black and shaped like a U or collar to fit around the neck and shoulders. It has two long arm straps that hang down, with a small control panel featuring three visible buttons on the right strap. The background is a plain off-white color.
The image shows a page from a user manual for a massager. It has two sections: "Suggest Usage" and "Warnings." The "Suggest Usage" section includes illustrations showing recommended application areas: Shoulder, Neck, Back, Waist, Abdomen, and Thighs. The "Warnings" section advises users with certain conditions to consult a doctor before use, including pregnant women, children, those with broken bones, chronic illnesses, heart problems, skin conditions, or anyone using medical devices like pacemakers. It also notes that it is not recommended for people who are unwell or not advised by a doctor to use it. Notable is the use of the word “invalid” for those with illness.
