Depends. Chihuahua or mini-pin, yeah, I agree. But a golden-doodle? That’s a tough call.

I remember getting sent to the principals office for “hacking” (pinging the computer in the next room) in like 8th grade.

Back in 4th/5th I actually was hacking, modifying our user menu to add Windows 3.1 and a password (copying config from a teacher’s profile). Also brute-forced at least two teachers passwords.

I’m a network architect now, so there’s that.

I don’t think any programmer would be dumb enough to take that bait.

They would be held personally liable for any business decision that costs the stockholders (while, of course, not being given anything extra when a business decision nets stockholders a fortune).

KMail.

It’s Microsoft Windows’ computer. Must’ve missed that little apostrophe.

You wouldn’t download a serial killer.

But you could download countless murder-mystery audiobooks and ebooks from Libby, so that’s a close second.

My COVID home-improvement project was hardwoods. Something like 1000sqft. Never did it before. Did 90% of it wearing no more than basketball shorts and flipflops. W/e. Only a few toe injuries.

Thank you, subscribed to most, they seem right up my alley.

I was apprehensive about the first two because they sound (from their titles) like the type of conservative conspiracy theory my FIL talks about. He was talking to my BIL (FIL’s stepdaughters husband) about the collapse, and where to go yesterday. He decided Mexico since “they’re only doing all that shit in the industrialized countries” , and I couldn’t help but silently laugh that a.) he thinks Mexico isn’t an industrialized country, and b.) he would illegally immigrate there to avoid politicized chaos.

Oh man I used to love watching QI. Forgot all about that show (I’m in the colonies. The one that tossed out all that tea).

Fine. I finally installed f-droid, because while I don’t listen to a lot of podcasts, I am trying to listen to more, and YT Music is ass for finding new podcasts.

Please give me recommendations for more podcasts that may like based on what I got

Serious question…why would an entirely isolated GPS constellation need to have “a time zone” as opposed to it’s own epoch (like unix)? It’s on the receiver side that all the computation happens, aren’t the satellites essentially just announcing an agreed-upon time? Wouldn’t the client be able to do it’s own comparison of “it’s time”, as long as it’s source of time is also synchronized with the constellation?

Britain: hey guys let’s just use my time k?

Europe: Fuck you.

Sure, they can you on, but which patron is the real patron?

Suppose the ticket was supplied as a PDF. Then it is either in the users Downloads directory or in their email. If that PDF is obtained by a malicious actor, it could be resold countless times. You could have 100 “guests” arrive at a venue with a bogus ticket but only the first one gets in, because they were scanned. That first person may not be the legitimate ticket owner.

Now, if your using their app, they usually put an animation over the barcode, and the gate attendants know to look for that. If that animation isn’t there, don’t scan. Pretty simple instructions to give to anyone. And accessing the app likely requires logging in, probably with some form of MFA (though probably SMS), so it gets a lot more difficult to rip off both the legitimate users and Ticketmaster in this way.

I don’t like having to use a specific app for things like this, but “I kinda get it”.

Now, it’d be better if we had a universal standard format for putting secure, validated passes into the native phone app. Perhaps registering your device to your account via their website, then only allowing the ticket to be installed on one device. I’m sure there’d be more to it, im just spitballing.

It is a separate issue but digital games need work too.

Namely that digital games should in theory cost less than physical. There are no manufacturing and very little distribution costs. As it stands now the consumer has no ability to resell. And it’s often direct to consumer.

Never mind the ass-backwards controls they put on the software limiting how you can use it (looking at you, Nintendo. Anyone with more than one switch shared by more than one user understands).

You only need to flip it one time. Assuming it is laying flat on the table, flip it over, bam.

My biggest problem with 4k and ultra wide monitors is screen sharing (like on zoom/teams/WebEx etc).

Most people still have 1080p screens at best, so when someone with a 4k or ultra wide shares their screen, it’s really tough to see what’s going on.

My main display is a 4k TV, but if I have to share, I’m sharing a window, or one of my auxiliary (1080p) screens.

Not a software engineer (network engineer…so I dabble in Python but that’s about it).

Still, my work setup has over 14.5 million pixels spread across 4 displays, and usually another laptop or tablet going as well.

Dude.

My wife’s phone started acting up the other day. It would keep losing cell service and even when it showed a signal, it still would only work on wifi.

That happened a few hours after I ported my phone number (on the same family plan) to another carrier. So naturally, I thought the issue was with the carrier.

Since I planned on porting her number out to my new carrier anyway, I didn’t want to troubleshoot.

Well, get to the new carrier and it’s still not working. Go through the whole process of resetting network settings, and then eventually deleting the esim.

New carrier, though, needs you to receive a text message before they send the esim.

Naturally, with the esim deleted, it couldn’t receive text messages.

Her issue did end up being her phone. Even after the port went through in full, it was still hit-or-miss with cell service. Worked on wifi though.

Only when iPhone users need to send a message to literally anyone else.

As someone who works in IT, and specifically networking and security, the “trade subs” are honestly what I miss.most from reddit. Places like sysadmin, Cisco, Fortinet, talesfromtechsupport, etc.
