TV that doesn't require 'on-line activation' to set up.
  • It's bleak, Xbox one is my preferred client and it's quickly degrading. Chromecast has little overhead but requires another client. I've heard older rokus are in demand on eBay. I don't recall if apple TV has a casting feature, but I've heard the ecosystem works for apps. I checked this thread for new recs.

  • Nvidia shield was known as king of media servers because it was able to be client and server. Now it's a running on a build from ~2015 that can no longer function as a server. Yes it's a client, but it's old and overpriced now with a bunch of additional Google shitware. If you have one use it, don't buy one.

  • Sysadmins slam Apple’s SSL/TLS cert lifespan cuts
  • Mostly customer provided certs, high end clients make all kinds of stupid requests like the aforementioned man-in-the-middle chain sniffers, clients that refuse DNS validation, clients that require alternate domains to be updated regularly. Management is fine for mywebsite.com, but how are you solving an EV on the spoofed root prod domain, with an sso cert chain for lower environments on internal traffic that is originally provided by a client? And do you want the cs reps emailing each other your root cert and (mistakingly) the key? I've been given since SCARY keys by clueless support engineers. I don't want to do this every 3 months.

  • As someone who creates custom domain name applications, FUCK THEM WITH A PINEAPPLE SPIKY SIDE FIRST. This problem is on par with timezones for needless complexity and communication disasters. Companys and advertisers are now adding man in the middle certs for additional data collection/visibility. If the ciphers not cracked, changing the certs exposes significantly more failure, than letting one get a little stale.
    Sysadmin used slam! It's super effective!

  • The post did not make any positive encouragement, make a case for mental health, or even make a suggestion. It came in as an accusation that anyone who chooses to live that way is abnormal. By definition it was a microaggression, so triggered people are reflex responding.

  • Sorry Ubisoft
  • Or we just go back to the old way; where a company sells a product and consumers just own it. Why does a static piece of software/video require a license? Updates used to be optional, but then company's started selling broken stuff and writing out exclusions until we had no other options.

  • What is the current best smart TV software/brand/ecosystem option?
  • The simplest solution is Chromecast + device of your choosing. Followed by Apple TV, but I can't remember if those can cast.

    If youll spend a bit more, you can also get an Xbox one. You'll get access to a multimedia device that has the Microsoft app store for subscriptions, it's available as a Chromecast device, unfortunately Microsoft is nose diving hard right now, but I rarely play games on mine anymore.

  • Are souls games really as hard as everyone says?
  • 💯 It was never hard, you just didn't know the rhythm yet. Any game that is too lazy to figure out scaling just gets relabeled as a souls game. You'll get the same experience playing most games without equipment.

  • What the hell Proton!
  • Hailey "Hawk Tuah" Welch is an influencer that gained a lot of popularity from her nickname (the sound of spitting, with HEAVY implications of performing fellacio). She used her platform to voice a very reasonable and intelligent opinion, which surprised a lot of people because her nickname is essentially blowjob queen.

    One of her opinions is that it's important to spread cyber security and used her fame to try to educate the public (potentially a fake story from the image? Idk this drama). And some xit-head claiming to be a cyber security expert ate the onion and offered some shitty advice. Proton fact checked them, because there are a ton of fake news stories about her right now.

  • Artifical Intelligence
  • I've never seen a good answer to this in accessibility guides, would you mind making a recommendation? Is there any preferred alt text for something like:

    • "clarification image with an arrow pointing at object"
    • "Picture of a butt selfie, it's completely black"
    • "Picture of a table with nothing on it"
    • "example of lens flare shown from camera"
    • "N/A" dangerous

    Sometimes an image is clearly only useful as a visual aid, I feel like "" (exluding it) makes people feel like they are missing the joke. But given it's an accessibility tool; unneeded details may waste your time.
