I hope next gen content moves to a 420:69 aspect ratio

I've PM'd you so we can get this solved in a setting that ensures your privacy.

When you made your Floatplane.com account by connecting in your LTT Forum account, a separate set of credentials were created for the Floatplane.com account. These credentials are expected when updating certain user settings, as we don't have access to the Steam or LTT Forum databases to verify supplied passwords/usernames for those services.

If you would like to generate a new password for your Floatplane.com account, you can simply navigate to the login screen and tap the [Forgotten your password?] link. If you enter your current email in here and follow the link in our reset password message, you should be able to set a fresh password. With this newly set password, you should be able to authenticate properly on the settings page.

If you created your account via connection a while back, then you may not have been given the option to set a password for your account, but only a username instead. In which case a password reset as described above will be necessary.

Depends how much you trust your "friends" and what technical level you are.  Any VPN in bridge mode will work.  Programs like Hammachi also have the advantage of being somewhat decentralized and anon.   It's not meant to protect against a ddos or anything though.    There's also no firewall by default.  I personally have no problem configuring a comercial firewall (Cisco and Juniper for the curious), nor iptables.. might be a bit biased.
 

Pff, T.I. All the way, they have Cyrix blood inside them.
 
 
deep... deep...deep inside...

I'm 99% sure they pick names based on available domains. ?

This might be the beginning of submersion cooling trying to take off again. Who'd of thunk that Cray would have been so ahead of time.

Im betting $23,999 per processor and single socket motherboards costing $12,000.

are we back to the early days of powerpoint design? looks 80s

Ryzen 2200g perhaps? Build coming up.

Going away o the whine  can be connected to how good your voltage regulations are in your PSU. This is a realy really complex and mathematical / physical hardcore subject

Funny part is Youtube never went down for me which still makes me think this was regional.  Then again I know it's common for people to block their providers local caches and in many cases rightfully so.  Those nodes are usually on dedicate infrastructure however.
 
Just going to leave this here:
 
 
 
 
 
If that's all it takes to.... ah never mind.

By creating a seperate channel and putting Colton as the only person involved. Then slowly distance eachother untill one goes bankrupt
 
 
NCIX flashbacks anyone?

To clarify, I was neither making a joke of or endorsing the concept of overlord. Though the name is a funny term that people use in a joke all the time, the question of it was serious. I'm not sure how well facebook will fare outside of sharing software over the years to stay alive, but google has roots in EVERYTHING, so while they might not be political leaders, they control basically all of our data, they have a say in our content, our news, our research. They are an isp, a phone service, a phone maker, a smart home designer, everything. you name it with tech, they have it, not to even mention the vast stores of data and software. They are the unofficial rulers of this world in my opinion. If they wanted to make anything happen, between the money and the lawyers and the sheer power they have access to in all parts of an internet connected life, they can get done whatever they want. So when I put the option for overlord, I wasn't implying good or bad or making a joke, I was simply stating the opinion that they have an immense aount of power over the world. I apologize if I offended you by accident, but that was not the intention here
As for the second comment, I understand the point you're aiming for, but your semantics are off and I was not misleading in any way. A data company who collects and sells data cannot by definition be valuing privacy by doing so. They value our data not our privacy. The question is will they be responsible with it. And while I don't trust either of them farther than I can throw them, I think Facebook has really hurt themselves in this regards over the last 2 years.

And THC metabolites stay in urine for up to 30 days. And urine (and breathalyzer) is the only drug test used by employers as far as I know. 

@dalekphalmThere are horror stories already about people injuring themselves at work and getting drug tested. But that is more common in the trades or oilfield. I doubt that you’ll ever get drug tested working in a restaurant or call centre. 

Poll was misleading.   Some people are quite fine with being ruled by an overlord.  I'm not.  I realize you wanted to be funny but a simple "Hell no" would have been better.
 
Question is also misleading in that there is no doubt both companies "value" our privacy... just with them it's monetary.  We are extremely valuable to them.

Facebook and Google can both be shoved up where the sun don't shine. 
 
Google has gotten so bad that I'm seriously considering my next phone being an Iphone as much as I despise the closed nature of it and the stupid things Apple does like removing the headphone jack.  The only reason I'm not switching yet is that my S8+ is already paid off and it would be burning money at this point. 

Because you already have a camera on your phone. It also has a microphone too. R&D costs, market studies showing no need, and the list goes on. If you want Google can own your, WiFi, security cameras, DNS, Phone Number, email, phone, browser, computer, operating system, and the list goes on and on. They don't need a camera 

Yeah no. Google has no regard for your privacy 

So [H] released their 1070 review early because they did not signed the NDA and some are not happy about it. Who cares, you'll still read or watch the other reviewers anyway, for performance comparisons sake.

More a jerk move of Nvidia, they should have ensured no cards were out in the wild before the NDA expiration date.

Yes, you can. Marx's original definition was impossible, and language evolves overtime.
 
Communism now, and has for decades, been explicitly a totalitarian single party system of an extreme Socialistic ideology. Thank the shitholes that are/were the USSR and China.

There is zero democracy in China, never pretend otherwise.
 
They are, by all measures, a fascist dictatorship. I say fascist because that's what communism ends up being when put into practice. There is no dissent, there is no questioning the government.
 
Power must always be questioned and checked. These companies are beginning to wield an enormous amount of power and no one with any power seems to be willing to check them or question them. That should be concerning to everyone. I would expect this of the left, as they talk a great deal about questioning authority, at least when it's authority that isn't catering to them.

When will the left learn these are mutually _exclusive_, in the literal way.  So long as Tech companies are echo chambers you cannot have one without the other since they will by definition be at odds.
 
I don't need Google to protect me from harmful conduct of people.  I need them to protect me from themselves and other tech companies.  Their business model is selling out humanity to pay for over priced Starbucks coffee and Apple hardware.
 
Expect the author(s) to be terminated much like their "Diversity" leak.
