  • Hard to rank them. When I was about 9 yrs old and cut of my left index finger with a leather scissor. Or when I flew over the top of a bike, down a steep road, and the asphalt took of all the skin of my right hand, and I got a wound right beneath my nose that still, 35 yrs later, looks like a booger when it’s cold. Or maybe when I was climbing around big farm machines and jumped from one to the other, and I slipped, and punched a hole in my shin with a metal corner. The shin didn’t break, just got a hole, and it hurt like hell…

    There’s plenty more. But my guess is my finger, since the doctor messed up the operation, and I had to have 3 surgeries - and it still didn’t work properly after that.


  • Some gamers do. Like most humans they are attracted to bright, flashy patterns of colors. (most animals actually are). But most mature gamers I know, would rather put some money in better equipment, than flashy colors. So, gamers are as different as the rest of us. Some are caught by the hype, some are not. You see it in cars too. Some like bling, som focus on the actual car.

    Me? I like RGB in my keyboards backlight. I don’t like it to flash, but I like to make it an orange/reddish color, because that’s easy on the eyes, when using your computer at evenings or nights. That’s about it.




  • Feel free to freak out. That doesn’t worry me at all. I guess you prefer getting tracked and monetized over having a little weaker security in hypothetical problem areas…

    You know, I’ve worked with, and helped people with issues on primarily Windows, but also Mac and Linux, since the 90s, and I can’t remember one single time, where the problem were bases on this kind of vulnerability. So please, do live in a hypothetical world - I’ll stick with what works and keeps me from being monetized.





  • So, she is talking about an AI-war? Where those who don’t want us to be private, controls the weapons? Anyone else see a problem with that logic?

    Thousands of “you” browsing different sites, will use an obscene amount of power and bandwidth. Imagine a million people doing that, not a billion… That’s just stupid in all kinds of ways.
