Honestly, you might have been better choosing Windows. I use all three for work and MacOS is more like an iPad nowadays.

There was a low budget indie film I found in Amazon Prime called There Are Monsters that I really enjoyed.

I honestly don’t mind as long as it’s down with permission. At least Microsoft are trying to do something interesting, computers are so boring nowadays. You could take any of the operating systems and wind them back five years and I probably wouldn’t notice.

The flooding a network thing really isn’t an issue, they’ll only flood for the first packet just to find the way and then it stops. Fire up Wireshark on a different machine and transfer a file between two other machines, you won’t see anything. I don’t know too much about WiFi but it probably does the same, it’s just a bridge to the same network.

Wired is probably better because machines can estimate your location from the SSID and they can leak the password giving access to the network.

Switches will flood a network when they don’t know the location of a MAC address but this should only happen for the very first packet which is more likely to be DHCP or some boring background thing like that. As soon as the correct devices get the packet and replies then each switch along the way will update its MAC address table and they’ll know exactly which port to use until it expires (which depends on the switch, I don’t have a ballpark idea).

I always thought this was the weakest one. I loved TFE and TSE.

Not particularly excited about this one.

This whole thing seems inaccurate. I literally never get even remotely excited about a Linux update, it’s always boring stuff that means nothing to me. I don’t Windows updates because I feel like it delivers them in a big lump and lets me install as I shutdown, which is easy. Apple hasn’t charged for updates in well over a decade.

I’ve been doing this for years now. Over the past ten years I’ve probably only bought about five games that were over £15.

I know we always think about walking as some kind of positive metal health thing but whenever I’ve actually gotten out there for a walk I’ve found it boring unless I’m actually going somewhere in particular. If I’m just wandering I feel like I constantly have to think about where I’m going.

I once went like 7 years without ever checking my balance. Now I have it hooked into my Apple Wallet so I accidentally see my balance when I got it pay for things sometimes.

I used to imagine myself getting I. Trouble until I learnt that I have ADHD and I was giving myself massive anxiety problems. Nowadays I just sort of try to push out of my head the possibility of doing anything else, like sitting on my arse isn’t even something I am able to do.

I’ve never been asked for any of this stuff but I think it’s literally because my email account is so old.

Aside from install and the first welcome screen I don’t recall seeing anything.

It used to be possible as networks could advertise that they owned IP ranges that they didn’t actually own using BGP, which is what’s used for high level routing. This is what China did around 2010 where they allegedly routed all the internet traffic in the world through China for like 10 minutes. I guess somebody could do that and then just drop every packet.

I expect that’s not possible anymore though, but I’ve been out the game a while so I don’t know for sure.

This game bugged me, it totally missed the SCP vibe for me and it put me off. I also found the combat pretty boring.

I always liked the way that SCP is about a bureaucratic organisation trying to control and contain these supernatural entities. In Control they live inside an entity and literally let one control the organisation. That just seems so anti-SCP to me.

I use Fedora and openSUSE but I’m not sure if this graph is taking the piss.

I do this, it’s been one with other providers but I don’t use Netflix.

It’s called Auditory Processing Delay, it’s pretty common in people with ADHD. I get it myself. It’s kind of like your attention is elsewhere and you “record” what somebody’s said and then replay it and process it once you’re done with your current train of thought.

Everyone’s scared of Reform getting in and yet Reform are the only ones promising to reverse all this. All this is done based off the back of a 2016 survey where parents said they were worried about kids watching porn on the internet, but the survey gave no indication of what a solution would look like and gave no mention to online age verification and banning VPNs.
