There are several reserved names in Windows. This is for backwards compatibility with mostly DOS programs. On your desktop, try and create a folder named “con”, and Windows should flat-out refuse. (Same thing for “prn”, “aux” and “nul”)

Definitely this. The data is not likely gone, but before doing anything that could make things worse, try and get a full copy of the SD card somewhere. From there you may safely try repairing the partition or data carving tools.

Accounting details, sensitive credentials for sys admin use, HIPAA data, PII etc. there’s just so much crap understood to be temporarily unlocked, viewed, and then immediately deleted or locked again. Even home users shouldn’t turn this thing on, check your bank? Balance and account details now always available. Use a password manager? Whatever you looked at is likely captured.

Had something similar happen with indiegala. Had an account with them for years, then one day, could not purchase some games randomly. Hit up their support and got the answer “Oh, the purchase was denied because your account’s email address is detected as a temporary email address”… The email address I’ve been using on that account… for years… Is temporary.

Yay… Capitalism…

And for the fandubs, there should be an additional paragraph as a hat explaining some concept or pun that just does not translate well.

Yeah, I guess. It seems wasteful to need 8GB just to run an OS and browser especially after Microsoft was pushing server core specifically to go the opposite route with resource utilization on servers.

They are necessitating 8GB of RAM. for what?! Like, it would be a struggle to find a machine with less than 8GB still being sold new, sure, but why does the OS need that RAM?

I don’t think this is possible through DNS filtering because it is your home lemmy instance showing you the results. You could block specific communities, turn off NSFW posts in your profile, or use a filter in Ublock Origin. These are all client-side solutions and would not auto-apply to a whole network. I don’t think there is a feature to block posts from a whole instance without being in charge of your own instance and de-federating. I would wager a per-user instance block will be coming down the pipe eventually.
