Okay but now I actually want one…

Absolutely not. I’d be surprised if anybody actually cares.

Driving less.

Eyeing other brands, but financially it just doesn’t make sense right now because it’s paid off and has required zero maintenance.

But, mentally, I hate being seen in public and fuck Elon Musk and I’ll move on as soon as it makes sense financially…or honestly, maybe even if it doesn’t.

There exist plenty of services on school campuses that send passwords in plaintext. There are services outside of school campuses that do, too. Hell, I’ve been able to bypass 2FA checks by just navigating around them, I don’t know what else to tell you, not everything out there uses the best security practices, so don’t assume that they do.

I mean, yes, I’m in my 40s, but it’s just as effective today.

Gold.

I’m not even an expert in this stuff, but with a tool I found online I demonstrated that it was easy to snoop people’s passwords on my school’s wifi networks back in the day. It took minutes.

Am I reading that right that they’d spend upwards of $600 in a single day on a scratch-its?? Holy shit.

Well that’s disconcerting.

There’s no failsafe? Jesus.

Seems right. I have a friend who works for Amazon and lives in Portland, OR. They’re asking them to relocate to Seattle to RTO. Now they’re debating if they even want to stay at the company. Supposedly they have until EOY to decide.

I spend a lot of time at bars drinking and people watching and guys leaving bartenders their number happens a lot more than I expected. Though I’ve typically seen them leave yuuuuge tips + their number, as if it impresses the bartender or something.

I agree this is amazing and huge, but for my own sanity, what stops someone from engineering cells that do bad?

Do you mean like…those gyroscopes you’d spin up using twine?

Kuhn Rikon Swiss Peelers. They come in 3-packs for like $15. They’re sharp AF, lightweight and easy to use.

Travel a little, volunteer in the community, use any (if any) excess funds to try and better the things around me, cook more, adopt pets.

Waiting for the day we finally and collectively eat the rich.

Is this how you live your life? Going around telling people how to live theirs?

Jesus christ dude. I said I’m aware.

I have specific use cases that Kagi, and nothing else that I’ve found but feel free to try me, satisfies to a T with speed and value.

Unlike you, I’m aware enough to realize I’m not the average consumer and that not everyone might fall into my bucket, so it was merely a suggestion ALONG WITH ANOTHER SUGGESTION (SearXNG). I’ll leave it up to the reader to do their own tests and see if it suits their needs.

I guarantee something you eat came from Nestle somehow and that something you own or wear was made on the backs of a sweatshop of some sort. Quit with your holier-than-thou bullshit.

I’m aware.

I’ve been using Kagi since ~February and it’s changed my views on Search. Beforehand, if use a combination of Google, Bing, DDG, and Brave and rarely find what I needed in satisfactory time. Now I’m typically finding it in the top 5 without all the cruft + have access to a handful of LLM assistants to choose from for other tasks (when needed).

I’ve also heard good things about SearXNG.
