YuccaGloriosa··on Ask HN: Why do my online accounts keep getting banned?
The common factor with seemingly all of those accounts is a mobile number. That seems to be the only thing that really connects them all together.
YuccaGloriosa··on Elon Musk criticised after China space complaint to UN
Of course anti-satellite tests creating uncontrolled debris are totally acceptable.

I wonder what this new path of Chinese comments is leading up to? Is it about reducing personal influence. Building a good guy reputation in space endeavours. Heading off a global comms system that has potential to evade state control?

Either way, very rude.

YuccaGloriosa··on ADHD Accommodations Guide
I would like to be in a work environment where things make sense.

An environment where colleagues and managers don't make seemingly irrational decisions.

I get things done when I am left to get on with them.

I don't like it when I question tasks I am given, and it is interpreted as me not understanding it. I understand it just fine. I'm baffled by the vague and inaccurate definitions of the tasks. I then question whether it is me missing something obvious, or them missing the essence of it.

It's not me. It's everyone else that has the issues.

It's all relative.

I'm sure you get similar spread on ages when you compare top 100 albums, or top 100 films
YuccaGloriosa··on Why TV Lost (2009)
Even Facebook is trying to distance itself from Facebook these days.

I accidentally went to TVguide.co.uk today, on a different PC to usual, not equipped with ad blocking, it was barely usable due to ads.

YuccaGloriosa··on The journey to controlling external monitors on M1 Macs
I have a monitor that has "eco" mode, reducing the brightness. Is that a different DCC command or are they implementing a similar gamma reduction? If not could an eco mode be called, if indeed it is a industry wide standard for reducing energy usage?
YuccaGloriosa··on WD My Book users wake up to find their data deleted
Not just WD... Seagate Dino's NAS interest too

As of May 15, 2021 the Seagate Access feature of Seagate NAS products will be discontinued.

Additionally, customer support for the Seagate Access service will also be discontinued.

YuccaGloriosa··on MyBook Users Urged to Unplug Devices from Internet
The whole point of my book live was that the user could access their files from remote locations. If I remember correctly the app was called WD2go or something similar. No doubt by setting up this service on their box, it opened up the path to the net. WD after some years then shut down that service, leaving the hole open.

You have to ask what is the motivation to keep the storage usage down, I can't see any. If an app runs at a speed acceptable to the end user, nobody cares.

YuccaGloriosa··on Binance Smart Chain DeFi Project Hacked for $31M
Binance website states : What are the advantages of DeFi Staking? 1.Easy to use: You don't need to manage private keys, acquire resources, make trades, or perform other complicated tasks to participate in DeFi Staking. Binance's one-stop service allows users to obtain generous online rewards without having to keep an on-chain wallet. 2. Funds are safe: Binance selects only the best DeFi projects in the industry and monitors the DeFi system in real-time while it's running in order to reduce the risks associated with such projects.

Then go on to say : Does Binance bear the losses if an on-chain contract is attacked during DeFi Staking? No. Binance only acts as a platform to showcase projects and provide users with related services, such as accessing funds on behalf of the user and distributing earnings, etc. Binance does not bear any liability for losses incurred as a result of on-chain contract security.

--- So if you don't have the keys, and there aren't liable, that's a bit messed up.
