Legitimate interest?
  • While you’re right conceptually, this isn’t what the wording means in terms of consent dialogs. Legitimate interest means they can assume, legitimately, that you have an interest in aspects of the site (by you being there) that require X cookies, basically. Ie their product is providing functionality they can assume you’re interested in just by being there, and they’re “pre approving” the tracking/storage for that functionality.

    I concur that it’s rubbish and used almost always in a manner that reeks of illegitimacy.

  • Coding interviews are effective
  • I personally refuse live coding sessions during interviews, including whiteboard programming. If they require this during an interview the company’s not for me.

    Don’t mind code challenges where I have a timeframe and can submit. It’s not how you code normally so why should it be how you’re hired?

  • How close are you to your siblings?
  • I have 2 sisters.. We talk and game almost daily. We’re super close.

    These other responses are honestly quite shocking.

  • 'Shadow and Bone' canceled after 2 seasons, spinoff also scrapped
  • Ah Gentlemen Bastards.. now there’s a rabbit hole with a spike pit at the bottom.

  • Fully Jarvis standing desk and Ollin monitor arm review: Is this the ultimate home office setup?
  • I’ve had a Fully for over a year now, and it’s killer. Great build quality and it looks special. Doesn’t seem to struggle under my triple monitor setup with several laptops on the table at the same time.

    Only problem is that they stopped shipping to several European countries, like Finland.

  • Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU
  • Yep. He took a massive ego trip early on and immediately came across as someone I don’t particularly want to side with.

    I’m a web developer and fundamentally disagree with his take on what JavaScript can do on the client side. I see what he’s getting at but I think he’s wrong. JavaScript can certainly detect access to resources (ads in this instance) without violating any enforceable policies. Half the internet does error handling with JS for things that won’t load - how can this be construed as violating eprivacy? Nonsense.

    That being said I’d love for this feature to go away and would be happy to see YouTube and Google go pound sand.. but this feels like a stretch. It was inevitable enshittification imo.

  • Valve warns Counter-Strike 2 players: use AMD's Anti-Lag feature, get banned
  • I mean, fair enough, right? If you modify CS2 binaries you get banned.. this is how some of the protections work and have worked for a while. I’m surprised AMD thought that this was acceptable.

  • Introducing: Raspberry Pi 5
  • It sucks but a cheap USB sound blaster would work fine here..

  • Retroid Pocket 2S
  • I second this. Very good quality reviews, and enjoyable to watch. Ended up getting a Miyoo Mini + based upon his review..

  • Starfield: 32 GPU Benchmark, 1080p, 1440p, 4K / Ultra, High, Medium
  • What did you upgrade to? I’m also still on a 1070 and dreading the upgrade. Thinking AMD 7000 series though.

  • Seen in Hocking Hills Ohio
  • We have this in Scandinavia.. I wonder if it’s related?

  • I love democracy
  • Who the fuck is Ana de Arm? /s

  • Chinese embassy slams Moscow over Russian border incident
  • I see no downvotes 🤔. It’s at +61/-0 right now so far as I can see..

  • PLEAAASSEE PLEASE COME BACK TO THE OFFICE PLS
  • I must be in like some weird alternate reality because my boss recognises that the office is a distraction, and doesn’t go there often himself. We go there very seldomly, primarily to catch up with colleagues, but not to work on our tasks.

    I get maybe 15-20% of my normal work done at the office.

    Granted this might increase over time if I came in regularly but it’d never touch how productive I am at home. This rhetoric about losing productivity working from home is dangerous and bullshit.

  • Removed
    Can we call it Ex?
  • Excretions, movements and examinations (tweets, threads and quotes)

  • Will airport security (Australia specifically) check for pirated content?
  • Veracrypt and use a hidden encrypted partition so you have plausible deniability. Remove the app after. If it’s encrypted it’ll be fine so long as it doesn’t look obvious.

    I’ve never heard of border guards checking devices, ever… and definitely not randomly. If you’re paranoid the cloud is a safer option of course, as others have said. Backblaze is great for cost etc.. but definitely encrypt before upload imo.

  • Reddit brings back r/place - tomorrow, July 20
  • Absolutely goddamn pitiful. Fuck Reddit.
