I was a paypal user in the past. At some point they started not requiring me to sign-in every time, they started using cookies or some kind of browser fingerprint to decide it was okay to spend my money. I used an expletive with paypal support and paypal banned me. I never looked back and do not miss it.

Seriously, Fuck You Paypal. Fuck You for reducing security on my account. Fuck You for not fixing your broken security when I asked nicely the first time.

I tell my users to avoid QR codes. We specifically do not use any QR codes in our organization. There has to be a better way.

Science confirms the crazy cat lady and her cats are all crazy.

Seems there is deep value in Chrome's telemetry when you replace Google with yourself.

It took AI to get the Internet to forget things, interesting.

So you admit to ageism in Tech? Well fuck you. I have skills, a track record, and a work ethic, but you don't want to pay for that.

Anyone that thinks its okay that some innocent 13 year old girls will be treated like dangerous criminals, for whatever reason, has crossed a threshold too.

In the US auto manufacturers are required to provide no cost repairs for safety recalls for 10 years.

I'd say that many Windows security issues are akin to automotive safety issues. These are major flaws that cause real issues for users.

Under previous net metering plans, retail customers were compensated at their retail rate for excess solar power. Under NM3.0, you are compensated at some wholesale rate that does not include transmission and other fees in the retail rate, there is something like a 75% drop in the rate paid. Also under NM3.0 the rate changes hourly and based on time day and time of year.

What this does is incentivizes home battery systems. Where you store your excess power and use it in the evening. Most of the battery systems for California will automatically chase the best times/rates to dump power back to the grid under NM3.0. There will be times even with battery systems that you'll pull power from the grid, these will result in a positive bill every time because you can't have a negative balance, if you go to zero on your bill you start donating power to the grid.

It used to be that net metering would help pay for the solar system over time. With the right size of system you could have a $0 power bill, but never negative.

If I'm on a time-of-use rate plan, why is my rate highest in the middle of the day when solar is at its maximum? Supply and demand.

Supply and demand. I have them when the grid needs them.

The solutions to childhood and school problems do not need to involve mass surveillance.

Its called 3 Card Monty and its old. Same idea.

The person that made the greater good statement is an idiot and should be subjected to the same treatment because I find it offensive.
