Let’s all hope this portmanteau for portable monitors doesn’t catch on.

Amazon has become the wild west of branding, but differentiating your displays by shortening portable and monitor to pornitor may give shoppers the wrong idea about what you’re actually selling.

It’s not known if this was an intentional branding decision, but as Overkill.wtf points out, we need to ensure that calling these devices pornitors never becomes a thing.

JPMorgan, $JPM, has abandoned its buy recommendation for Chinese stocks, citing heightened volatility around the upcoming US elections, per Bloomberg.

One of my pet peeves is """security features""" that cannot ever be opted out of, because some software author thought they know better than you.

Been trying to set up SSH with key authentication. If the private key file's permissions aren't EXCLUSIVELY set to only the owning user, then SSH won't let you use your key.

Problem is ... I can't change permissions of individual files on this file system and you cannot disable this check. In the end I had to enable password auth again lmao.

"Our orbit is drunk in its spin, and sobriety comes
only in flashes. No one knows who we are.
We live in that freedom and peril.
Let the imagination be the beast it is
that eats and fattens on us.
But let us not believe a word it says."

The day I discover I’ve been catfished, I walk into the local library because I don’t know where to put myself. I am bewildered. Wander among the books.
