I had thought you’d installed Norton 360. I just realized 360 Total Security is a different company altogether. I’d instantly remove that from your PC, that’s a Chinese security software that looks like it’s named itself to be similar in name to Norton 360 (US developed but still not great). Any software that’s trying to draw people in by looking like something else is a big red flag.

Security software runs at a very low level and generally has full control over your PC if it wants. It needs to be something reputable. For me that means a few things: how good is it at defending against threats (both known and zero day), how many resources does it use on the PC (I still want to be able to game), how much do I trust the country where it was developed. The last one isn’t a one size fits all and really needs to be person to person. In terms of raw performance and security the two best are likely Bitdefender (Romania) and Kaspersky (Russia). AVG (Czech Republic), ESET (Slovakia), Webroot (USA) and Sophos (UK) are all decent options with good security and performance. All of them cost less than a single game for multiple years of protection so I’d pick one, pay for it and keep it running always.

Install and run a reputable malware removal tool. I’d recommend hitman pro. It should be able to clean your PC. Norton is garbage.

No I’m… doesn’t!

Can’t believe the first season back is already almost done! Any word yet on if it’s been picked up for season 12?

Ah, no worries. Totally missed that, my bad.

I’d sticky your reply then, but it’s not a feature yet :P

You should be able to edit your post with the link. Should make it easier for people.

While it does track high population areas, it’s important to monitor how it spreads. There’s some blips showing up in the ocean where obviously nobody lives. Maps like these could give us information about not only the biggest polluters, but the downstream recipients of said pollution.

I’ve also heard of new efforts starting to be used on a local level to identify exact sources of pollution more recent, original study I saw. I’m hopeful that new data being fed into those models, from satellites like this, will help identify individual culprits of specific pollution faster. I’m really thinking of areas where’s there’s dozens of companies and all are following the rules and operating responsibly, but one is cheating. I want to find that cheating one ASAP and put an end to the cheating.

Haha, too true! They can never just give us a useful tool without “Microsoft-izing” it first

Agreed. Any rules or regulations for a federated network would likely need to be new legislation (if it’s really even needed at all).

Sounds like it only affects services with 45 million or more members. Lemmy should be safe for a while :P

Agreed. I never really can understand why companies wage wars on modding communities. They’re not giving away the game or costing money. In many cases they’re doing free work that encourages even more sales.

Yea, I’m not really sure what is to be gained by going after something that’s strictly scientific and really only stands to benefit us all.

A few months from now the headline will be: “Microsoft to Buy Ubisoft”

I’ve been using the HL-L8360 for a few years and I still haven’t had to replace the cartridges it came with. Gone through probably 8-10 reams of paper in that time. The starter cartridges are the smallest of the three sizes too, so when they go I’ll just buy the big ones and probably be good for a half decade or more haha!

If you’re looking for something a little cheaper, you could look into something like the HLL3210. I’m not sure which is true laser and which is LED, but usually the inexpensive ones are LED and not true laser printers. Really that only matters if you’re looking for that extra-crisp text from a laser printer. For day-to-day printing you’ll never care or notice.

I’ve been using brother laser printers for over 15 years now. Toner is very reasonably priced from them and lasts forever. Plus, no sketchy things like forced registration.

It had a pretty detailed description of the machines they built to detect the waves. I found the precision of the equipment to be the most fascinating part of the video and the engineering that went into making it. The gravity wave detector was more what I found interesting and why I shared it here

Not sure what’s wrong with a channel asking people to support it. That’s pretty common on YouTube.

Yea, there’s clearly something misconfigured over on kbin at the moment. Might be worth pinging one of the people that runs it.

I think there’s some issue with people on kbin seeing wrong images. Probably a question for the server admins over there. It’s normal on three of the Lemmy instances I checked on.
