Welcome to HA :) freeing all of the devices from the cloud can be quite a rabbit hole, but at the same time it’s very satisfying. If you’re concerned about privacy or devices still phoning home you could consider installing pihole or disallowing specific wifi-connected devices to communicate on the internet via your router settings
I just checked the original video. It works a little bit differently than plain URL replacement. They open another tab in the background and then send a manipulated URL to get the affiliate cookie set to their own. Guess it’s for the courts to decide if that is a legal practice or not. But to me it seems that the malicious extension sends a manipulated URL to the server pretending to do that on user’s behalf, without his knowledge. That is classic malware behavior.
Potato chips and chocolate. It was difficult but necessary to have them both at the same time
It’s more than that, at least from a EU perspective. Don’t know what is legal in the US, but manipulating URLs in an obviously malicious way and without the user’s explicit knowledge and consent would be highly illegal here.
I don’t know. Maybe Google is actively limiting results for Startpage. When I don’t find what I’m looking for in Startpage I switch to Google and boom, adequate search result. I refuse to permanently go back to Google though.
I’m using Startpage too, but I have a feeling that the search result quality had a massive drop lately.
I think VS Code is doing its own thing and it might be better if you create your own. It doesn’t have to be called .venv, that is just a VS Code convention.
python -m venv myenv
and then
source myvenv/bin/activate
should do it.
Otherwise there is something wrong in your path or a weird python installation.
python --version should give you a version number 3.4 or above, because these have venv included and need no additional pip installs
Some NT net utilities even had BSD info in their binaries.
I think you’re absolutely right, but in our company this will turn out to be shortsighted. Because we would actually need some creativity to do better in order to save our jobs.
Some of my coworkers show me their chatGPT generated drivel. They seem to be downright proud of that, like they would be gaming the system by using chatGPT instead of using their own head. However I think their daily work seems to consist of unnecessary corpo crap and they should really be fired and replaced with chatGPT.
Just call it Ecmascript and be done with it. The name JavaScript was misleading from the beginning. Well, Ecma sounds like a skin disease but who cares.
Could you elaborate on that?
