Are you sure it auto locks? The simplest explanation would be that you forgot to lock it, and it didn’t lock automatically. Maybe your home is close enough to the car that it still senses the key is nearby, so it won’t lock itself?

To answer your specific question, don’t keep anything visible in your car. Thieves usually only target cars that they can see have something inside.

A friend of mine used to live in a high-theft area and drive a “rag-top” convertible that he knew would be easy to cut open with a knife. So, he just left it unlocked, with nothing valuable inside, and nothing bad ever happened. A few times, he came back to find the glove box and center console had been opened. But that was it; the windows were never busted and the car was never damaged.

Yeah, big new feature drop from them just this month, right? They added some features that I loved from Action Launcher (swipe to open folders).

Oh shit, mine gives me free heat…I could just strap a Stirling engine to my radiator!

Really depends on the phone and how the controlling organization (whether it’s a private company or the IDF) uses MDM/MAM. It’s totally possible to poorly manage iPhones, and if you do they’ll be insecure as hell. If you were to restrict everyone to a specific Android phone model with hardened software, then you could theoretically do better than deploying all iPhones. Hell, you could even put GrapheneOS on them, but that would be quite an undertaking, and I’m not aware of any company doing it at scale.

Because of the homogeneity of iPhones and how strictly Apple controls them, it’s generally simpler for organizations to manage them and ensure all of their employees are using updated software on a relatively secure phone. So that (in my opinion) is why we’re seeing a lot of organizations just say “screw it, only iPhones allowed”.

Bitwarden is great, has lots of free features, and a pretty cheap premium family plan. I’ve been trying to onboard my old people to my family plan so that I can help them if they forget their passwords. 1Password is more expensive, but more polished, and a better choice for newbies IMO.

This might be fine. How does Woolies store them? Are they refrigerated there before you buy them? That’s an easy way to decide for most foods: if the grocery store refrigerates them, or if they say “refrigerate after opening” on the package, then you should refrigerate.

And many foods, even if you don’t HAVE to refrigerate them, will last longer in the fridge. I personally keep a loaf of sourdough in the fridge because it’s slower to mold.

Focaccia is just bread and oil. Pizza has mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce on it, definitely refrigerate. Some aged cheeses might be fine out of the fridge, but not fresh cheeses like mozzarella. I think that after baking (if you get it hot enough and the mozzarella is very crispy), pizza MIGHT be able to survive on the counter for a day or so. But I’d say it’s kinda risky, and your pizza gets stale! That’s not pleasant.

What are the bacon cheese rolls that you’re talking about? Sounds to me like something that should be refrigerated.

Why do you want a VPN? Is it just for some light piracy? Staying safe on public wifi? Or do you actually NEED to maintain your privacy, with real consequences if you can’t?

If you need true privacy, the answer is Mullvad. But there’s also more required than just switching on a VPN if you want privacy. If you want a convenient and easy VPN that’s part of a bigger privacy-focused suite of tools, then I’d recommend Proton. They make some pretty good products.

Protip for anyone unfamiliar: Mullvad really is the gold standard for a private VPN. If you just want to pirate shit and not get angry letters from your ISP, Nord or PIA will accomplish that. But if you REALLY want privacy, Mullvad is it.

The popular use for power delivery through a display cable is charging a laptop from your monitor; it’s already very common with Thunderbolt or USB-4 monitors. But 480W seems a bit overkill for that.

I think the author missed the mark here by talking about game preservation, as many are already pointing out in these comments.

The real benefit of buying a physical disc/cartridge copy of a game nowadays is the ability to resell it when you’re done playing. That’s actually a huge boon if you buy a lot of newly released games at full price, and play on consoles where sales are less common than PC. Reselling games can save you a LOT of money over time.

You get what you pay for. If you are actually concerned about your privacy, then go with Mullvad. If you just want to download stuff for free without getting caught, then Privado is probably fine.

He stated that the company was in the “early stages” of creating the device, which is still years away from a possible launch.

Sounds like it’s not a real thing yet, in my opinion. Companies as big as Sony are always “exploring” new products, that doesn’t mean they’ll be real. For the record, I love my Steam Deck, and I hope the portable market expands. But this isn’t real news, IMO.

Looking for recommendations for a racecar, at least 800 horsepower. Needs to hit 60 mph in under 4 seconds.

My budget is $2000. Please give recommendations.

LOL

Sometimes these issues happen because of the IP range you’re using. If your local network and your remote network both use the 192.168.x.x range, then there can be conflicts and issues like this. This is a thing that happens generally with VPNs, not sure how Tailscale specifically functions with this issue.

Even if that’s not what’s going on here, you might try setting up your remote node as an exit node, and configuring your local node to route all traffic through it. Theoretically that shouldn’t be necessary, and it will also slow down your traffic if you’re routing EVERYTHING through Tailscale. But it could work in a pinch.

Actually, I’m looking at Tailscale documentation now and I see that they recommend setting up subnet routers instead of exit nodes in most cases. Maybe go that route instead, that makes more sense to me. That way you’re only routing necessary traffic through the remote node, rather than everything.

Number 1 is Alan Wake 2? Really? I mean, I hear it’s a good game, but…

Love how the headline equates the shame of viewing porn with the shame of viewing anime

If you go with TrueNAS, you’re stuck with TrueNAS/Docker. If you go ProxMox, you can theoretically do…anything. But of course that comes with some added complexity.

If it’s just you, and you’re willing to install it on all your devices, Tailscale is the best option IMO. If you need to share things with others, use CF Tunnels.

It’s not open source…but the source is open.
