I love it when core services are down. How am I going to know you have a problem if you can’t contact me? As far as I can tell everything we control must be good to go.

With or without biometrics, you can just take the sd card out and boom, no need for a finger print

?? Which lines are you implying? It’s blaringly obvious what the goal is, I was merely remarking at the incompetence of the current administration and likelihood of them doing it very badly.

Lol… With this administration? They’ll probably just report that they recieved 10x whatever the other party gets and brag about how big America must be to get more votes than citizens.

Facebook doesn’t view it as objectionable or distasteful, never has; same guys been running it since its inception as a rate your classmates site. Nothing has changed with the platform, but I do appreciate more people talking about how shitty it is.

Anyone finding a vulnerability now should really be submitting it to a broker instead of the company. Brokers pay way more for good exploits than the big guys (Google/MS/Amazon/etc) and won’t just refuse to pay claiming you found an undocumented feature.

Nah, if the self checkout pos freaks out and needs someone, just move your stuff to the next one over. Someone will come fix that one eventually; no harm in leaving it to sing the song of “an item has been removed from the bagging area” to its people, you and your stuff just shifted 3 feet to try a different checkout lane. If anyone complains just tell them the cashier waved you over, it’s all good.

As someone that works in IT connected to a K-12 environment, the kids can figure out so much stuff to circumvent (probably pointless) rules it isn’t even funny. We had a kid using multiple TB of Google storage for text tiles… Just multiple copies of huge text files full of prime numbers…

I’d be cautious of keeping photos of your daughter on your phone with this administration.

Yeah, I loved winamp back in the day, but it’s been a quarter of a century and now it’s primary purpose (the ability to play mp3’s) is no longer it’s primary purpose. If I’m looking for another music player, it’s primary purpose needs to be playing music files, not trying to convince me to sign up for another shitty service.

Man I eventually stopped fighting that hurdle and just changed the login screen to say “Broken-ass auth” so I remember that one is different. I’m the only person using it at my house and recently went back to a car with a CD player and USB port for infotainment (such a refreshing change after a decade and a half of screens in my face) so I haven’t bothered to go back to fix it.

I’m in! As long as I don’t have to get rid of my psx, PSP, ps2, ps3, and ps4. I promise not to give them another dime, or use any of their shitty online services… Though to be honest I started boycotting them about the time the first Destiny expansion was launched.

Yeah, sadly I don’t think it will either, I’m just hoping the jury decides the precedent they truly want to set.

The issue I’m seeing with the whole case is they siezed his phone, they kept his phone, the seizure of his property happened successfully. A person later entered something they believed would open it but instead it wiped it. The end user didn’t wipe it, and didn’t lie to the agents of the state because a duress PIN is still a PIN, I’m willing to wager they didn’t specify that they wanted his ‘unlock PIN’ and instead just asked him for a PIN (personal identification number), which he gave.

Meanwhile I’ve got 16GB and opening a third webbrowser causes shit to randomly close… Lol

I had to RTO to an empty building, after a year and a half or two, two more people moved into the building. All I can think is ‘why must I sit in traffic for an hour everyday to be 80 miles away from my coworkers?’… Then the mortgage comes due and I remember why I deal with the traffic and remember how nice it is not really being contactable after hours (computer stays in the office). I gave way too many free hours away just because I was already in the home office while I ate breakfast or hung out during lunch just because.

I don’t code either but prefer the Gitea instance in my basement over anything MS hosts.

WMIC allows an amazing amount of control for admins that know what they are doing. One of my favorite uses was back when I worked helpdesk, users would exit Lync and be unreachable, well WMIC can allow an admin to open that app back up in the users session and then they are suddenly reachable again.

Some people use the old psexec, others have been using WMIC since before powershell even existed.

Man I wanted a Tesla roadster one day, then he touched the company and it turned to shit.

I mainly carry thumbdrives for larger files or things I don’t want hosted online.
