Time to stop using Chrome (arstechnica.com)

Google is now rolling out a system where Chrome directly tracks your activity and shares its summary with advertisers.

Also Firefox is faster as of like two months ago.

It takes five minutes to switch browsers, and the difference is so little that you'll often forget you did it.

Just ask it to rewrite the shitty code you wrote in a language you barely understand to "follow standard best practices in " or something like that and it will add advanced typing features, functional programming for iterables, advanced exception handling, proper concurrency handling, optimize control flows, use better equivalent functions, etc.

As long as you understand the foundations of these concepts in at least one language anybody can become pretty close to an expert in most languages instantly. Especially since most of them are C based and pretty similar

The output will sometimes change the logic but I mean that's pretty easy to catch and fix

Rip C++ nerds that memorize the entirety of each releases manual to shave off 3ms in every single function

Hi So I'm planning on spending some time in a different country and work from there.

So I need to hide the location. Laptop is a HP elitebook with win 11.

IP hide solution idea, using a GL iNet router and setup a wireguard server in order to use the home internet.

https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/3/tutorials/wireguard_server/

Would this work as i intend?

Wifi localisation. I'm not sure if I can just turn of wifi an call it a day. An update or something it might turn it back on. Windows if not the employer will try any way to get the location I assume.

I have a USB dongle that allows me to use lan cable directly from the GL iNet router.

I could also just open it up and disconnect the wifi module /antenna cables.

Bloutooth might be an issue? Anything else?

Edit , thanks for the replies . I can add that USB is somewhat restricted , a flashdrive won't work however my USB to Ethernet works , the dongle have other ports as well, the USB there won't work haven't tried the different sdard slots. So I am assuming that it's a software mod to deny storage only.

Checked out pikvm , seems cool but I don't think it will work.

Also fuck what shit is hard on a teltonika router EOL 2 years ago. Thought I knew shit :)

Got these earbuds for a little over six euros from AliExpress. They sound very nice for the price, I love the Y2K transparent skeleton aesthetic and most importantly for me, the earbuds can be detached from the cable, so if it breaks you can just get a new one for a few bucks. I've had to toss dozens upon dozens of earbuds over the years due to faulty cables so I really appreciate being able to swap them

Edit: You can also plug in Bluetooth adapters into the cable connectors, which is pretty cool. The adapters seem to be a bit expensive though so you'd probably want one of the fancier models

If you were willing to spend a bit more in the 20-30 dollar range, you'd probably be able to get really nice Chinese earbuds but I just needed something cheap for backup and these do very nicely
