ask is not a noun you fuckheads

why are you dressed like it's halloween? you look so absurd, you look so obscene.

I have a mid-2019 8c INTEL i9, 64GB ram 4TB flash Retina MacBook Pro for sale. It's MacBookPro16,1, with the good keyboard back (not the shitty butterfly one). This is the last intel/touchbar MacBook Pro, and these specs are maxxed out.

It is in excellent condition (I have hardly used it, my laptops don't see much action in this almost-no-travel pandemic timeline) with one owner and it has cool stickers (which can be removed if you like).

sneak@sneak.berlin if you are interested, please.

my new putar is in pennsylvania

if you add a wifi network on your iphone, with a mandatory/ondemand vpn, it will automatically sync that wifi credential over to your paired apple watch, which will connect to that wifi (without vpn) and phone home to apple, leaking your local IP.

spotify's ios devs are fucking stupid. when you download hundreds of tracks, the "download complete" notification that pops in at the top of the screen *moves all of the touch targets down*, but only for the 300ms the notification flashes, then it moves them all back. hundreds and hundreds of times.

this is almost as dumb as the amazon one click modal when you change your payment card.

confirmed in ios 15: VPN set to ondemand (which autoconnects shortly after boot) leaks dozens of dns requests not-via-vpn on boot of iphone, divulging true client IP <-> VPN IP association to DNS server.

when you have an ondemand VPN configured on an ios device, your DNS requests will leak to your DNS server from your non-VPN'd ip.

i always assumed that ios VPNs were super leaky. i will bring receipts soon.

the bottom of my 13" xps is burning my legs under moderate load. :/

it's a real bummer that display connection technology is bifurcated for pc/mac. i have two really nice 5k high dpi displays (lg ultrafine) that connect only with tb3 usbc, designed for use with macs, and i would love to hook them up to a kvm and use them with my PCs here that have high end GPUs but those don't speak thunderbolt, so i have mac monitors and pc monitors and they won't talk to each other.

are there pc monitors that are as nice as the lg 5k ultrafine ones (nice: ppi/dpi)?

why is everything cloud-enabled now? i got a ledger nano s and the app you use to update its firmware wants you to agree to a privacy policy and terms of service and presumably uploads my serial number somewhere i don't want it to go. why do people tolerate this shit?

my 128gb 10core i9 extreme with the 3090 has ended up not dual-booting any longer but single-booting windoze to do VR and games. i need a linux workstation. maybe i will get a lower end computer and move 3090 to it for VR and use that box for Serious Business.

i have LG 5k thunderbolt (usbc) displays. i would like to buy a small form factor pc with 32-64gb of ram that can drive them at 5k. please advise.
