While you’re right conceptually, this isn’t what the wording means in terms of consent dialogs. Legitimate interest means they can assume, legitimately, that you have an interest in aspects of the site (by you being there) that require X cookies, basically. Ie their product is providing functionality they can assume you’re interested in just by being there, and they’re “pre approving” the tracking/storage for that functionality.

I concur that it’s rubbish and used almost always in a manner that reeks of illegitimacy.

I personally refuse live coding sessions during interviews, including whiteboard programming. If they require this during an interview the company’s not for me.

Don’t mind code challenges where I have a timeframe and can submit. It’s not how you code normally so why should it be how you’re hired?

Yep. He took a massive ego trip early on and immediately came across as someone I don’t particularly want to side with.

I’m a web developer and fundamentally disagree with his take on what JavaScript can do on the client side. I see what he’s getting at but I think he’s wrong. JavaScript can certainly detect access to resources (ads in this instance) without violating any enforceable policies. Half the internet does error handling with JS for things that won’t load - how can this be construed as violating eprivacy? Nonsense.

That being said I’d love for this feature to go away and would be happy to see YouTube and Google go pound sand.. but this feels like a stretch. It was inevitable enshittification imo.

I second this. Very good quality reviews, and enjoyable to watch. Ended up getting a Miyoo Mini + based upon his review..

By your powers combined

Who the fuck is Ana de Arm? /s

I must be in like some weird alternate reality because my boss recognises that the office is a distraction, and doesn’t go there often himself. We go there very seldomly, primarily to catch up with colleagues, but not to work on our tasks.

I get maybe 15-20% of my normal work done at the office.

Granted this might increase over time if I came in regularly but it’d never touch how productive I am at home. This rhetoric about losing productivity working from home is dangerous and bullshit.

Excretions, movements and examinations (tweets, threads and quotes)

Veracrypt and use a hidden encrypted partition so you have plausible deniability. Remove the app after. If it’s encrypted it’ll be fine so long as it doesn’t look obvious.

I’ve never heard of border guards checking devices, ever… and definitely not randomly. If you’re paranoid the cloud is a safer option of course, as others have said. Backblaze is great for cost etc.. but definitely encrypt before upload imo.

Paywall :(

I’ve used it for years, it’s solid. Mostly good quality and some very reliable uploaders.

The more movies they release (Prometheus, Covenant, AVP etc) the better Resurrection looks imo. I feel like the original 4 are all great when stacked against the newer films in the genre. Agree that the skin alien sucked, however.
