  • Those bulb syringes can be a nightmare too, read that the cause of someone’s problem was mold growing the bulb and getting sent straight into the ear.

    Gross and terrifying. If you can’t see what’s inside, don’t trust it’s clean.

    On the bright side, your boiling water probably did a good job of disinfecting it.


  • Its gonna have to be case specific. -which as you said, is why it’s not so easy to make law.

    If a Taylor Swift doppelganger started claiming to be Taylor Swift and making a scene, then sure the real one should be able to shut that down.

    If the doppelganger started her own music career with her own name and music, then Taylor Swift can’t do shit.

    If the doppelganger is somehow artificially created (computer generated or elaborate makeup/costume) than it does not have the same rights, and can be shutdown (unless its falls into the parody category, but even then it should be obviously not real).









  • It’s a mix, and not necessarily limited to older laptops.

    You want to stay up to date with security updates as much as possible. Feature updates are not as important, especially if you want the least bugs.

    On windows you can defer security and feature updates separately, I typically set 1 week for security and 1 year for feature updates (Assuming they haven’t changed that option again). That’s been enough for me to dodge the data-deleting updates.

    For Linux, I don’t think it’s separated as a quick user option so cleanly. You can install the LTS (Long Term Support) version of your distro. The maintainers of that will do security/bug fixes as needed and slowly push feature updates when they are very well tested.
