The Mysterious Benedict Society was my childhood. I swear I read the whole series like 8 times. Got me into mystery novels and I’ve loved them ever since.

Gotta check for shrinkflation

I wonder how much they paid their design team to use the surface blur tool on their logo lol

People are not making a big enough deal about stuff like this: the PFAS that leech into water are generally toxic to humans in concentrations of just 12 parts-per-trillion. That’s over 80 times more potent than cyanide.

For your own sanity, don’t read r/MyBoyfriendIsAI on r*ddit - shit’s dystopian

The US is a one party system: the party of wealth and power. Almost none of our politicians care about anything they tout beyond its ability to keep them in power.

And Samsung devices have a “Lockdown Mode” that can be triggered by holding down the power button which does the exact same thing (also disabling lockscreen notifications if they were on until you enter your pin)

The American way

Oh gosh, that’s even worse than I thought. Nothing like getting doxxed by your social media app; glad I left insta some time ago.

AFAIK the new update makes it so your current location is shared with every post, by default, rather than just being something you can do if you feel like it

There’s a bionic reader extension for Firefox that works on mobile, but obvs that only works on webpages

This is really cool!

Who is this made for?

Pretty sure it’s fine if they do as long as they don’t have chocolate or smth in them

This is what made me a data hoarder - lost one too many important documents and now I have 12TB of files on my home PC, mirrored across 2 drives and backed up to a 3rd in a fireproof safe. Everything from last year’s tax documents to high school homework assignments, it’s all there. I may have a problem…

I mean from my tests it does seem to work, tho I also just straight-up nuke Copilot in its entirety when setting Win11 up

In Win11 Pro/Enterprise, this can be disabled via Group Policy alongside most other tracking and logging “features”. In corporate environments, it often is. Their primary target here is individual consumers.

On the other hand, even on Home edition you can at least disable this yourself with a few registry tweaks or by using a tool like DoNotSpy11. I highly recommend checking it out if you’re forced to use Windows but want some semblance of privacy.

I was told specifically to give them a second chance at the assignment for 50% credit. No disciplinary action was taken on the part of the administration with the justification that “if they really don’t know the material they’ll fail the final.”

So no, it’s just as bad in higher education here.

Omg he’s adorable

This is beautiful
