everywhere is ruled by bots now

Could anyone explain this joke plz?

I bought TP-Link thinking its a decent company but with all vulnerabilities I am reconsidering.

There is no excuse for having that many serious vulnerablities

I checked it now and it works fine if I don’t use VPN. but regular youtube also work fine without VPN.

If I switch to VPN both yt-dlp and normal youtube give same error “please login to prove you are not a bot” which is the problem OP is originally trying to find work around for

Does it still work for you? for me it stopped working a while back

Video ownloader it works but not very convenient

I am not 100% clear on this. Is sideloading different from installing an APK from unknown source by simply taping on it?

I didn’t like Nvidia products even before hearing that.

Guess that another reason to avoid it.

You need to define what the word alive means first.

If you cut a roach’s head, it stays sort of alive in that the body responds when trying to touch it or expose it to harm but it won’t do anything if left alone. just standing still until eventual death.

A decapitated roach might still be able to “feel” pain but in my personal opinion - I am no expert in the matter - it doesn’t feel stress, trauma or have bad memory of the incident. Just pain and an appropriate reflex to it.

Wonder if I could use this to gain root access to my router

If a Linux distro is based on Californa, I can understand but Linux distros are generally free and under no obligation to follow California’s law

I might spend time explaining to flat earthers why earth is not flat because it is important to know especially if you work in large construction projects and other jobs that require taking into account earth’s curvature.

Proving moon landing on the other hand is totally pointless. It makes no difference to you or the person you’re arguing with if the landing was real or staged so I’d second avoiding this kind of discussions.

Unless your friend is a scientist studying the moon rocks or a US astronaut that is

Thanks, I’ll give it a try

I know duckduckgo rely on Microsoft bing for search results so I was assuming the AI is from ChatGPT?

I just looked now at their chatbot and they offer dififerent options most are based on OpenAI’s GPT (which even if self hosted, still relying on OpenAI). one other option based on Meta’s Llama and Calude.

Only reasonable option seems to be Mistral Small 3 which /u/horseloaf seem to suggest as well.

I’ll give it a try

and also not Musk’s Grok and not Google’s Gemini and of course not the Chinese DeepSeek so what do we use then?

what if it was my boss who said that during a technical argument? :/

True story

catalysts for what? how is that an informative title?

Also its not true that space is “very very cold”.

If you are in space wearing space suite that doesn’t radiate heat properly, you could die from the excessive heat. Once dead your body stops producing heat and the existing heat eventually radiate away and your body freeze.

Space is neither hot or cold because these are property of matter. Since space has very little atoms, it technically has no temperature.

I didn’t understand this one. Why would any matter eventually turn into iron?
