  • People lost their shit about Google Glass, claiming users would be able to take pics of them without their knowledge, yet they didn’t bat an eye at the established creepers doing that already with smartphones and they sure don’t seem to care much about Meta putting forth Glass 2.0, now with more invasiveness! An article about it is a good first step, but articles like this about Glass were everywhere, along with a general negative sentiment in the public (and there even were some assaults on people using those things!), yet I rarely hear about these even worse glasses. Do people just not care about privacy anymore?






  • That’s the file structure of a Blu-ray disc that’s been unencrypted. Get MakeMKV and open the main directory using that software. It will read it as if you’ve given it an actual Blu-ray disc. It will show you the available video files. The largest one will be the movie, so if you want, you can select only that from the list and it will rip it out of the file structure and give you an mkv file of the movie. It’ll be large because it’s not compressed, so to save space, you can use Handbrake or ffmpeg if you’re nice with command lines to encode it to your favorite codec.








  • I am very confused by this. I have Proton VPN running on two machines, my Windows gaming PC and my old gaming PC that’s now working as a file server running Linux Mint. I have kill switch enabled on both. Jellyfin is running on the Mint PC (standard install, not Docker) and I regularly access it on my gaming PC via the browser. I can also access network drives from the Mint PC that I’ve mapped to the Windows PC. If I’m reading Proton’s response right, I shouldn’t be able to do this, yet I’ve been doing it for about a year.
